Why are we all a bunch of pussies worrying about hair?!

[Davey Jones]

The age thing has come up before on this forum; it doesn't mean much really. Going bald at any age is pretty awful.

I'd have to disagree, in part. Going bald at any age is awful, but it messing with your 20s seems a lot worse than it messing with your 40s, to me.

I guess to answer the question in the thread title: because life is short, we're all going to die, and balding makes our very short period of existence considerably shittier.

^^^ But this is certainly true sh*t, regardless of your opinion on the age thing.

Thank you for your reply,

I know in the end it will be okay, just a hard thing to get thrown at you at 21...and then having to 'roll the dice' makes it harder as well. I understand that you dont just turn 30 some battle it for years, but I see some people who are having signs like I am at 30-40 and worrying, I can understand its daunting at any age...but I feel give me 10 years and ill pleasantly be a skin head.

Anyway, appreciate the post alot

It will bother you at any age , just not as much. Instead of fear it is embarrassing . Also while women do not care, they still think it's funny and will tease you about it.

It's normal to feel some level of distress when you have a condition where your body is actively disfiguring itself (even if it's on a purely cosmetic level)... for no useful reason.

Absolutely spot on- that pretty much sums up why I'm here.

Yesterday I gazed out of the window at the purple sky setting over the neighborhood forest. It seemed so tranquil, peaceful and soothing. One of those few moments when I felt peace in my heart.

Lucky you can do that. I live in a city, if I look out, people can see my balding head if they notice me.

I feel ya dude, I started around that age too. I didn’t really get on it like I should have and tried stupid products like the lazer comb and it did get worse. When I was 23 I got on it and since then I have improved rather than gotten worse. My advice would be to start using Minoxidil (Rogaine foam), Finasteride (Propecia tablets) and Ketoconazole (Nizoral shampoo). This will more than likely thicken and regrow your hair and if nothing else should definitely slow the hell out of your hair loss. I wouldn’t think about it too much, just get it done and watch out for side effects (I've never had any).

This is true. To them it is funny. But if you just mention anything about their weight they get serious. I mean I don't care about being funny to them as long as I get some.

I have a friend who is a diffuse thinner and is basically NW5. Our mutual female friend used to mock him about his hair loss, and about 6 months ago they ended up together. She still mocks him but I think she fell in love with him. So thats women for you.
I really don't understand them, never will...

Thats a good story and you know what, when it comes down to it, at the end of the day the woman that really do matter in your life, will not give the slightest care in the world that you happen to be bald, or balding...Its just us that are OCD about it... that is the one thing I do appreciate about a decent woman is that, no matter what the state of hair you have, they look past that and just truly love you as the person, all they are looking for is someone genuine who they can love/trust and be comfortable with. So I think one thing that people going bald can benefit from is being genuine and realizing that looks fade as time passes and although we are visual human beings what you have as a person and what you bring to the world matters.
