Shave Your Head, Get a Tan, and Get Your A** to the Gym

Paul McCartney is more than twenty years older than Charlie Sheen, and he's been smoking, drinking, and doing drugs much longer than Charlie Sheen, yet he's still got a good head of hair:



Drugs, drinking, and smoking don't necessarily have any correlation to hair loss.

i'll tell you what,.Being the biggest fan of Paul Maccartney in the forum i can tell you how unfair life is.Paul Maccartney has the bald gene,his father was completely bald!His son is bald and he hasnt reach his 40's yet but Paul had all his life beautiful head of hair.And that is to show you how unfair life is,he has a massive talent and his hair while his son and father were bald and not as talented.

That's genes, man. Look at the dudes from Pawnstars: grandpa hair, dad bald, son hair.

For me, I was just so rooted in the old wives tale "you get your hair from your maternal grandfather" that I never thought I'd go bald, let alone do research about the actual genetics and symptoms of hair loss.

As you would probably imagine, I was beyond startled when I noticed my hair thinning. This prompted me to see two different doctors, spend $300, worry away ~6 months of my life, and temporarily hindered my zest for life. Took me a while to get most of the way over it and force myself to get into weight lifting, eating right, and going out partying every reasonable opportunity.

my maternal grandfather had full head of hair but one of his son was bald the other was not.Imagine that if the bald one didnt exist i would think i'll never end up very bald.Genes are unpredictable.It's good for you that you have found a way to fight it.I'm not into this gym thing,i always liked the boyish look

I hear you. I seriously hate seeing old people with perfect hair; it's likely irrational, but I do.

Yes. A guest conductor for one of my honor bands had an incredibly thick mane of perfectly silvered hair, so good that i looked like a wig (but i don't think it was) This guy was 70+. I hated him so much, just for having what I couldn't.

I am the opposite. I hate seeing bald people who are clearly doing nothing/never did anything to treat their problem. They are living a lie!

Think again before you talk.You cant fight your genes and dont talk about propecia,why they should **** up with their hormones and health.I bet they ones that they dont care have better lives than we that care and that is what it counts.A true man is the one who has confidence right?They just go with what they have instead of crying of what they dont,sure they are better with hair but they are trying the best they can with what nature gives them.And i'm sure that taking a pill to not go bald can make worse your problem and dont tell me that they are few that have side effects,it's not all about sex drive,what about your prostate,what about the long term effects.So dont blame bald for doing nothing,even if they cant accept it like me they may dont go on meds,if i had a safe option sure i'll go with it but there isnt.It is like accusing people who are fat or big nose for not going to make a surgery,nobody is perfect man.

I rather be bald then risking unknown long term side effects of propecia. In an other forum, I saw this guy complaining that he is suspecting that long term use of propecia has increased cortisol levels in his body. And you know what high cortisol levels can do, it can give you diabetes, blood pressure, insomnia, kidney disease and what not. Many propecia users complain of not having deep refreshening sleep.
