Because no one is seriously discussing this problem. How often do you even hear about it? How often do you see on TV about the problem of baldness that destroys men's lives? How often do you hear from men that their lives are over because they are bald? No one discusses this and considers it a problem. Most people in the world don't even know what Minoxidil and finasteride are. They don't even look for any medicine. How many balding people take Minoxidil and finasteride? absolute minority. I met a friend at the gym a couple of years ago. He was obviously losing his hair, but he could save it. I told him that he was going bald and so was I. I told him that there are medications that can stop this process. But he wasn't interested in the subject at all. I then saw him a year later and he had a completely shaved head. Obviously, he didn't start taking medication because he doesn't care. Don't think that all men on the planet care so much about hair

Again your inability to use simple logic fails.

That dose not mean he doesn't care. That means that he preferred not to take medication. And first of all, taking medication does not mean you can save your hair. You are committing to something for life without any sort of guarantee, in fact many such people still lose hair because their baldness is too aggressive to be stopped by medication.

So, he did what a lot of people do, and other people do not. He probably did a cost-benefit analysis and did not want to be on a prostate shrinking drug for his whole life, and be a slave to minoxidil twice a day for life.

That does not mean he doesn't care. If you understand basic logic you can follow this.

So you are using the argument, well if it was important, it would be on TV. What advantage would there be for any advertisers to run TV programs for male pattern baldness. To gain a leg up on the generic finasteride/minoxidil pharmaceutical industry? Why would a hair transplant clinic pay money to advertise on television?

Further, ignore baldness for a moment, what problems "does" society encourage men to talk about? Maybe only PTSD after coming back from war? If you haven't been living under a rock, you would acknowledge that in general, it is not respected nor deemed acceptable for men to whine about problems in public.

This is not a positive thing, but it is not serious. And this so-called problem is very common. I would understand if a minority had this problem, but baldness is everywhere . It can only affect you negatively if you allow it.

It is not very common actually. It is common in your fifties and onward, but not in your twenties. This is a statistical fact.

I don't know where you live, but throughout my whole life I have statistically seen a very, very small number of men in their twenties with serious hair loss. In a university of 50+ thousand students I can only count on two hands the number of guys I saw with serious hair loss. And in a city of a million+ people where I live, I very rarely see it.

You can chose to believe this or not. But name calling someone that believes it, doesn't strengthen your argument. It makes you look like an imbecile. Google ad hominem attack if you don't understand this simple concept.

I believe you. I've already written to you about it. Baldness has ruined your life. I can only feel sorry for you because you will have to suffer for the rest of your life. But it's just your life. Don't think that everyone has the same problems as you.

Again you are a lying idiot. I never said it ruined my life, nor anyone elses. I won't speak for other people if they think it did or not.

He didn't care about his hair. He didn't even know that there were ways to stop hair loss, because he wasn't looking for them. He learned about them from me. He wasn't interested in the subject of our conversation. You can't believe that not everyone is so worried about their hair? But that's just your problem. This is how the whole world lives. How many percent of balding men on earth take Minoxidil and finasteride ? 1-2% percent?

Again your inability to use simple logic fails.

To gain a leg up on the generic finasteride/minoxidil pharmaceutical industry? Why would a hair transplant clinic pay money to advertise on television?

If you say that baldness affects a man's life very seriously, then everyone around you should discuss this problem. This is a terrible problem. But why is the world silent? Men lose their hair and lose the opportunity to have a good life. it's awful. Do you know why this doesn't happen? Because bald men live good lives, bad lives, just like all normal people. Just like men with hair live good and bad lives. Hair doesn't affect your life in any way. Get out of your house on the street at least once in a while. Bald men live normal lives like everyone else. There is nothing even to discuss and therefore no one to talk about the problem of baldness

Further, ignore baldness for a moment, what problems "does" society encourage men to talk about? Maybe only PTSD after coming back from war? If you haven't been living under a rock, you would acknowledge that in general, it is not respected nor deemed acceptable for men to whine about problems in public.

Tell me where are the millions and billions of men who suffer from baldness? Where are they all? Why do I always see bald men with beautiful girls when I leave the house? Why didn't my bald relatives have any problems? Why do my bald friends live normal lives? Why don't I have problems like you? If it was a problem, as you say, it would be discussed by everyone. Just like people talk about cancer. Look at you. You have serious problems in your life. You're severely depressed. You have no life. Do you really think if hundreds of millions of people on earth had the same problems as you, the world would not discuss this problem?

25 percent of men start going bald before they turn 30. What are you talking about? this is a lot of young people who are going bald.

Yes, you said your life was over. You said that baldness affects your life very much. Here are your words


However, to answer your question, it will affect your life in a big way, and it won't be positive. Just shave your head or give yourself a horseshoe haircut and see for yourself. Go out and talk to people (women), go on tinder, try whatever you want, and report the results back.

So you have very serious problems. Girls don't like you and you suffer because of it. It's terrible and you have to live with it for the rest of your life.

He writes that he is ugly, girls reject him because he is bald, says that baldness has very much affected his life in a negative way, whines constantly that baldness is a serious problem, and then this cretin says that he never said that his life is over. No, you have a wonderful life. A life where you think you're ugly, you're ashamed to walk down the street without a cap, you don't have a girlfriend and you'll never have one. And if you ever have one, it will be ugly like you, because no beautiful girl would dare look at a bald freak like you. If this is not the end of life, then I don't know what is the end of life.

No where there did I say my life was over, more lies. Hopefully the mods here ban you for spreading lies, but then again it doesn't matter, it's a public place so everyone can see it for themselves.

You are probably ugly as hell so the quality of women you get is terrible if you are bald or not...I'm sorry your life is like that.

Let yourself go bald though, I'll happily continue to take treatments to actually prevent myself from being bald and eventually get a transplant when the time is right...

Being bald is awesome man I bet you can't wait, don't worry it will happen soon and your perfect bald life will await you. Just like the rest of your bald friends with beautiful wives and girlfriends. Your bald paradise will come soon enough, don't worry about us poor finasteride and minoxidil users keeping our hair.

I'll be exiting this thread as debating with this simpleton simply isn't worth the time or effort...I only did it to warn the young guys out there that being bald is not as "awesome" as this idiot makes it out to be. Unfortunately some people will find this out for themselves the hard way.

Spreading bullshit like this is dangerous, when they come back and lament not getting on treatments earlier I wouldn't want it to be due to some fool who could have been ignored. Hopefully someone in the future will read this and realize that being bald is not the great reality that this guy claims.

Lmao, the martyr of fighting for your hair haha, damn what a tard, who tf you think will ever take an advice from somebody who spends his whole life crying and whining on a hairloss forum... Let's be real, just look at this forum, only 10 users daily and that's with me included, who tf really cares about your opinions or something, go seek help mate, your mentally ill and that's that.

Your from 2015 here or for who knows how long spreading the same bullshit everyday on every single thread, get a life and after come here and tell others how life is, you need to have one before actually trying to advise others in it lol, f*****g retarded incel

You idiot I have nothing against people who use Minoxidil and finasteride. This is normal. If it makes you happy, then do whatever you want. I used Minoxidil myself and I had good results, but I had to stop taking it as there were serious side effects. I never wrote that being bald is good and everyone should shave their head. It's you who's lying now, not me. I would love to have hair, but unfortunately genetics decided otherwise. I don't agree with your nonsense that this is the end of life and that baldness has a very negative impact on your life. Baldness affects your life very much , Yes, you wrote about it yourself, but I repeat it is only your life. About the quality of my girls, I will not even write anything because for me it is not even an achievement. For you, they are goddesses who are inaccessible to you. It's not even a topic of conversation for me. At least It's not me whining on the site that if you are bald, then you will have very serious problems finding a girl.

There are so many dudes in their 20's who are bald/balding. It's extremely common but yeah there are still dudes who get into their 30's and 40's without any hair loss.

Why are people thinking black and white again? Nobody said that if you have hair your life will be great and if you are bald your life is finished. The way I see it is that baldness unnecessarily affects my life negatively, so it's a problem that I want to solve. Or I could choose to ignore it and see myself lose 2-3 points on the looks scale for no f*****g reason. At the end of the day the question is how much your looks matter to you.

What's happened to this forum? This thread is filled to the brim with incel-types and other narcissistic pathologies.

It's kind of crazy to say balding has no effect on you and your appearance even if you have the body and head shape to carry it. It ages you like nothing else. However, it's also crazy to say "it's over", "ROPE", "No woman will ever love you".

Where are the it's over and rope people? I haven't seen any of those comments recently, if you have any examples I'd be interested to see that perspective.

What I see is anytime anyone mentions anything negative about hair loss, you have a certain brigade of butt buddies who a) aren't even on treatments and b) claim to not care about hair loss yet are on a hair loss forum, ready to spew insults and act like keyboard warriors.

If they don't see the negatives of this disease, then why comment to people who do? Not comment, rather, but hurl inflammatory language and act like neanderthals? There's no logical explanation. Especially the cro-magnon who keeps espousing he has better things to do yet...is always here responding (insulting).

Okay, that part may have been an exaggeration but you get my point. Those types certainly have proliferated on the forum.

I believe this subject is far more nuanced than a few others on here and have even pointed out. I agree with you that their position is ridiculous and an extreme, just as you appear to agree that the other extreme is also ridiculous. However, I am sure you would agree that broader society sees treating hairloss with drugs and other procedures to be completely outrageous, a sign of potential narcissism, and would cast a negative view on you. I have personally seen this. I am sure you wouldn't casually mention to people in the real world whatever regimen you are using and for good reason. You're suppose to take it on the chin. For some people, it's really not a big deal and they can move on with their lives. For many others, it is a big blow to their sense of self.
