    Default Wife's not happy with my hair

    My wife thinks I should start doing something about my receding hairline. She also thinks my cowlick is turning into a bald spot. Is she correct? I think I should start to do something now before it’s too late. Also it will make the wife happy. Other than Rogaine and Propecia, can you guys recommend other options? I am a little on the fence with finasteride due to its side effect. But it seemed to be the best option other than hair transplant. What are your thoughts guys? Thanks.

    Get on treatment for your own happiness. You're a grown ass man, dude. These treatments are proven. Just pull the trigger if you want to do something about it.

    Btw, your wife sounds like a stupid bitch to judge you and stress you out about your natural body maturation. I'd tell her that you're concerned with her sagging tits, wrinkling skin, greying hair, and widening waistline.

    If you don't care about going bald, shave your head to spite that succubus.

    Thanks, man. I know my hair is not the same as it was in my 20s. Definitely thinner now. I just haven't really thought about doing anything. I do want to make my wife happy. I think I will start with minoxidil as it's the most commonly used and let's see. I need to do more research on other options especially finasteride. What's your regimen? Have you used finasteride?

    Oh and my wife is hot. Still hot.

    Guess your hot wife doesn't want to be with a bald guy. If treatments don't work, then what?... You will lose the hottie and have to remarry a fattie. Just joking.

    I will keep it simple 3 things that work: Fin, Dut, and minoxidil. Good thing to start on minoxidil. It is cheap and works. To what degree? Use and find out. Most likely you will want to maximize your results and will end up on finasteride anyway. Oh and pick up a bottle of Nizoral and use a couple of time a week.

    minox will do little to nothing. Fin is something that you will actually see results in. keep in mind it will take up to a year to see anything somewhat substantial. I guess its good that your wife is being upfront with you but i hope she isnt coming across bitchy and implying you need to do something or else.. Im 21 and my gf doesnt care that much. I am almost 3 weeks post op now though..

    Screw your wife. End of story.

    Making your wife happy is overrated if she isn't also making you happy, and judging by this thread, she's not. My advice get on fin asap, because your hair is not bad, maintain what you have and when you're wife becomes old and busted like every woman does, get a transplant and leave her ass for a hot younger chick. She is obviously shallow and superficial so when her looks inevitable fade you should be shallow and superficial...

    Your first pic looks a LOT like mine did years ago. Mine also started on the right side and moved over to the left as it progressed. There must be something about the cowlick area as when I was about 26-27 a friend, not really a girlfriend more of a FWB friend accurately predicted I would begin to bald in that area..in about 10 years and that it would move from right to left. Which is exactly what happened. Now the difference is that she was kinda nuts I guess as she liked mpb and hoped I wouldn't fight it.

    As far as your situation goes, I would do what YOU want to do? If YOU want to keep your hair, then by all means start doing something now. Over time that area will expand and turn into a bald spot if you don't treat it.

    I can tell you for me, propecia is the only thing that truly has stopped the expansion for me. I tried minox alone and it works well, but I still expanded over time so I am now back on propecia at a low dose. You may consider that if you have concerns.

    Does you wife really know anything about mpb? Some women honestly don't and don't realize it's basically happens to virtually all white males eventually. And until recently, it was basically impossible to stop. Good luck with whatever you decide...

    You should have married your FWB, so you wouldn't have to worry about fighting hair loss. She would probably think you were a god right about now if you never started treatment.
