I've been thinking about it here are my reasons

- may combat the finasteride sides? (i.e. more energy, higher libido etc)
- could make me happier/higher self esteem (appearance)
- more women ?
- mentally may feel better (more aggression, etc)

Reasons not to
- cost
- potential sides
- may eliminate the hair i have left
- long term consequences
- I look youngfor my age , roids seem to age people
- don't plan to compete ,

what should I d?

Steroids absolutely will eliminate the hair that you have left. I thought that you were NW6 or 7 already?

Steroids won't raise your self esteem. You know that no matter how good you look, your self esteem depends on reliving the life that you had before. That won't realistically happen while bald, steroids or not.

Test gives a feeling of wellbeing but steroids can also cause mood swings. You could also get very severe depression if you ever taper off.

My opinion is that you should only use steroids if you want to compete or take your bodybuilding to the next level. Nobody keeps their gains from steroids when they come off. You'll have to stay on for life. That can have negative health effects.

fair objective comment
thanks man

Yea i don't think I will, I do believe my test is low though i wonder if i should get on a low dose of TRT or something but even that would be for life and weekly shots.

just doesn't seem worth it

Instead of what should you do, may I ask what do you want to do?

just thought roids would make me feel better but i guess not?
When you go to the gym and strength train and focus on yourself instead of the surrounding people, how do you feel?

Syringe the donuts out of your ears and absorb.

Steroids are for insecure spinless swines. Those who take believe it makes them more manly, but the irony is, they become less of a man than they were originally as the testes stop producing androgenic hormones, thus creating a vicious cycle.

Woman(as a whole) don't give two shits about a man's physique. Take a look at most men, very few have a good body.

Face, social status and demeanour are the most important traits in attracting females.

I know it's hard but you have to focus on doing things for yourself. Become a better version of you.

I've seen the affects of steroids. Most of the douchebags I know don't even train anymore. Look like old women in they're early 40s.

Trust me, you would regret using AAS, it's pitiful unless one is trying to become/is a professional sportsman.

Ok, I finally learned what makes you feels good man, instead of what makes you feels bad man. I think you need to keep finding more things that makes you feel good and keep doing them more frequently. And I would call that progress for you. Same time next week for lesson 2.

thanks i think for such a lon time i just been doing negtive things but now i need to change
Proud of you, man. You made progress today. Baby steps. Tomorrow, learn how to cook a food that makes you feels good, man. Or treat yourself to a meal that makes you feel good. Or watch The Ice Road, a good movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

depends. If you're in good shape, have good genetics and can build a decent body without, and have, it probably won't do that much in terms of women. But if you're a turd, look terrible, have average to low genetics, and no will power to get in good shape, it can make a huge difference. Nothing's black n white.
