So ive been fighting hairloss ten yrs. im lucky in that im still a nw2 and Finasteride seems to have been my saving grace.
Im 30. I recently made friends with a guy thats 25 and a nw6. Normal thing to happen yes. It dawned on me though that even at 30 my group of mates my age actually contains no fully bald guys. So speaking to this guy whos even younger was a real insight into the life of a 'baldy'.
Obviously we dont speak about baldness as a topic of conversation but other conversations (mainly about women) have brushed on it im engaged but hes single so we often banter about women as all guys do. Hes a happy chap and quite a confident guy but i noticed even with all the confidence he still puts himself down whej it comes to the dating game and women.
He sometimes talks a big game with them but always says things like oh well she wouldnt be interested in a bald dude/ id need togrow some hair/ hope she likes baldies etc etc. I try to pick him up sometimes sutely by saying things like dont be silly and i compliment him when he shaves and neatens up his closely trimmed horseshoe.
Hes a cool dude and it sucks what hairloss has done to him. No matter how good mood hes in or how confident it always comes back to that. He may say it as a joke but it shows deep down that sh*t has scarred him. He lives the nightmare i have avoided for now. As much as i am glad im not in his shoes hair wise i cant help but respect him to the fullest.
