Depressed with hair loss, so I killed an entire extra large pizza and 3 cokes.

Again, great job is on point.

Yeahyeahyeah youre ****ing mental dude, go live your life. You're pissing everyone off with your attitude, and I don't even think youre trying to troll.

*sigh* Comprehensive reading fail?
Look man, first: NOBODY said "he should stop caring about his hair because he is 28", that was not implied and the age thing was not even used in that context.

Second: I am 28 years old myself and a far more advanced 'bald brother'. I KNOW what it's like to be balding in your late 20's. (which he atm obviously is not)

Third: If "younger women are very easy to impress when you have disposable income, your own place/car, style, social skills, etc" 'Yeahyeahyeah' should stop ****ing around about his life being ruined because his hair density being only 90% or being a NW 1,5 and actually do something about the parts in his life which are lacking. That was the context in which the age-argument actually was used.

When I said they are easy to impress with material/status things I also said it hinged on how you look

This is part of why even light recession can be depressing, it can significantly throw off the dimensions of your face. Also the loss of temple points (different from hairline corner recession) will always cause a cosmetic problem
Remember some faces can be hit harder than others by the same amount of loss.

Losing the temple points is a bitch.

Tbh when I photoshop my hair to how it should be, I'm easily an 8.

With hairloss I am a 5

The fact that you use a rating system for you looks says all anyone needs to know about you.

And i thaught i was crazy...

Let me tell you a side story. Yesterday I had to run some errands. Some kids that knew the neighbor's kid next door accidentally rang my doorbell. In any event I came down the stairs because I had to pick up something and get in my car and open the garage and I had to pass them. And immediately these 8 year olds and 9 year old were snickering about my hair loss and making it damn obvious pointing and whispering. Women not wanting you is one thing but young people making fun of you is the worst. In any event I walked past them to my garage and I paused I had to change this and turn this around. I said to them who wants free comics from my garage and suddenly I became a hero to them and I gave away my Captain America shield and they took that and they had a blast and good times and they laughed and thanked me. I turned cruelty and disrespect into admiration in less than a few minutes. Now my hair was unshaved.. and I decided to stop hiding it so that I could see my Dutasteride progress but the baldness is still showing through the newly growing hair depending on the angle on the shine from the oiliness of it. Sometimes it isn't easy being a balding man and it is a hard road to walk down but you can make it easier by not reacting in certain ways to give those calling you out the attention they want from you because this is a projection of their own insecurities heaped on you. That how can this guy emanate such self confidence looking like that and yet I who have a head of hair have such low self esteem.. hmm then let's mock him and bring him down beneath my level. That is what people who make fun of or laugh at you in their heart of hearts are really thinking. And while you are on meds or whatever treatment to repair the damage Dutasteride or Finasteride will never repair the psychological impact of the scars of what you feel about yourself and if you love yourself as a person and see yourself as someone of great worth.

I just like to look good.

What NW are you atm?

What NW are you atm?

After 5 months of Dutasteride and a 1 year and 3 months before that on Finasteride I was a diffuse pattern NW6. Today I would have to say with the hairs thickened on my crown and vertex and now seeing a hairline that was not there months before at all.. I would stay it took it up one up the scale to NW5 and it is slowly filling in and reversing out without any shed. The Dutasteride is responsible for that I believe.

On a non bashing note, yyy are you on any treatment?

You seem very bothered with your temple points, and that is one of the only places I saw really good regrowth from minox. Could probably help you.

If this kid had my loss at my age he would probably kill himself.

No way dude. Didn't you say in a recent post that girls were calling you James Bond? You are more like a 9 with hair loss, and a 10++ with no loss.

It was mainly guys; but girls did open me. One was very intimidated once she caught my attention and approached me. Playing with her hair etc

I was wearing a tux.

facially i am not all that, but i am tall and broad. Quite classic looking.

Why would you start with treatments that aren't known to work very well instead of using fin and/or minox?
