Hi, I haven't logged in a while as I've been extremely busy with work and traveling basically. Hope you are all doing well!
So basically, I saw a cousin today that I haven't seen in a long time (about 6 years) and as we were talking I noticed he looked so incredibly young that I had to ask him. He first was like oh yeah, I hear that a lot but I still was shocked as he looked way younger than me (he is 34 years old, I'm 26) and even younger than what I remembered him looking.
So we had drinks and other family members were there and I remembered I needed to take my finasteride pill so I got up and searched the box in my back pack and then went to the restroom and took it. Turns out he saw the box and he asked me to talk outside and I'm like OK. He said he had male pattern baldness for years and he was taking finasteride for years. It was awesome because I rarely speak about those things to anyone so we really connected and all our conversation was in regards to hair loss!
Anyway, he said that he believed finasteride was the thing that was keeping him young, he did explained about how testosterone increases and he thought that made him more focused and etc, etc. But he emphasized that he had lots of hair on his chest and legs and basically it looked patchy, he showed me but to be honest since I couldn't compare with how it used to be I just nod. He then said that he felt his face was more boyish and I certainly agreed, his face does look boyish that what I remembered. He basically is convinced that finasteride made him look younger because he felt angrier in character and now he feels focused, less body hair, younger face, good skin, etc.
This whole evening caught me surprise and I just had to log here and ask you guys cause I'm speechless. If anything, I thought finasteride would make you look older, because dht is important for kin elasticity, etc. So what do you think/know on this? He's 34, relatively fit I guess he works out, and been taking finasteride only for almost 7 years.
