I just shave my head and wear a goatee and look very good like that and also feel confident. So what is up with men spending thousands of money on hair treatments. Not to mention the messing up of their bodies, because no pill is without any side effects and the long term effects of drugs like propecia is not even known as nobody has been on it for more than 15 years.

I am 32 and fortunately already married, maybe that is I don't care that much. The reason I am on this forum is I'm just interested in treatments that reverse baldness. That doesn't mean I will actually go for them, but maybe in future, who knows?
Though I am engineer, I am interested in the medicine field in general, have always been, and hair loss is a branch of medicine, so the reason I am here on this forum is more for curiosity and ofcourse to see if I have the option of reversing baldness in the future, not that I'm dying for it

Yep well at 22 it has seriously affected my confidence and identity, not many people come to terms with it at all, especially the young guys like me. But good on you for shaving and getting on with it.Comment

trust me a lot of guys care about losing their hair and even minor loss like getting NW 2 mature hairline makes you look older and worse then NW 0 guys like say Elvis. I know guys at 40 that were mistaken for being 19 because they were NW 0 at age 40.
I think most guys would treat hair loss but honestly right now I am not sure its worth it given the big risks your taking and its expensive for pretty minimal results.
Men are desperate to keep their hair and honestly I dont blame them it really does make a big difference in how you look and for better or worse I have seen lots of girls pick NW 0 guys over guys with hair loss. Its not all hair though other things are more important.Comment

yeah it happens I mean honestly a guy that is 40 aside from hair loss what really makes a guy look older? Maybe wrinkles I guess but being NW 0 does stand out as making you look really young when most other guys are balding at NW 2 or more. Just my opinion but I guess losing your juvenile hairline is normal so I guess we cant be that lucky and you will never regrow it.Comment

I'm okay with my mpb these days but I like to come here and share my thoughts and opinions because like you I started losing in my early twenties and so it became a big part of my life. I like to think this forum is for those who have accepted hair loss as well as those who aren't quite so accepting.
Anyway I know how you feel losing it early I was in exactly the same boat and it's easier said than done to accept it but the sooner you do the better it is for you. I let it get the best of me and I wasted my twenties feeling self conscious about it and it doesn't help when you get piss taking comments. If I could turn the clock back I would have shaved it ignored the jokes and got on with my life back then. I had a friend who also lost his hair in his twenties, he shaved his head and got on with it and the guy was a pulling machine he had a new girl on his arm every time I saw him.
I sometimes think the negative posts on these forums can make people feel worse about themselves rather than better when it's people posting about how mpb means you wont get a gf or people will look at you negatively etc when it just isn't true.
Anyway my point is try not to go down the road I went down where I let it rob me of my twenties you'll just regret it like I do. Thankfully my thirties are a little less stressful thanks to acceptance and it feels much much better

Opinions on how old someone looks varies a lot by the person so its not a solid indicator, but a NW 0 guy can often pass for being a lot younger then they really are because its unusual due to baldness being so common.
I will say this anyone can get lots of girls its not as hard as people think if you go out to a club and can dance have a fun personality its easily done. Getting a girl not nearly as hard as people say you just need to go out and try. Hair is a big advantage though and makes it easier that is all its a bonus not a sure fire thing. It all depends though I mean girls all like different things unlike usComment

Ah I've enjoyed this thread, particularly Kaymans posts. Especially from someone who has done the routine of treatments. Bald or not, I refuse to dedicate my life to a depression of 'what if'.Comment

I'm 38 and I look 42, but if I had hair I would probably still look 42 because I have big bags under my eyesComment
