*sigh*

I get tired of these fear mongering threads where finasteride sides are an assumed thing

Reminds me of that thread a few months back where the dude was talking about possibly killing himself, and then a few pages in it came out that he was "afraid to try finasteride"

ffs

he did the worst thing in my book because so many people tagged him multiple times and he never said "hey guys thanks for asking i am good' just randomly starts posting as if no big deal. Just weird.

Most people will have to try it at some point. Bobster's fearmongering is dumb. So is denying sides exist. Choose your fate

I think you're thinking of bobster....?

It wasn't him, it was a different suicide thread

Was considering suicide rather than taking a medication with a good track record for treating the very condition he wanted to kill himself for

.....

You can't make this sh*t up

Form your strategy on the worst possible outcome, not on the assumption that a "cure" will come out in the (near) future. Do as much as you can in the present moment.

What if a cure doesn't come out in the next 10 or even 20 years? That possibility is there, it's crushing to our hope, but it's the truth.

If PFS even exists the chance of getting it is probably extremely low. Sides should be fully reversible.

I guess the following quote goes well with this:

"A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for."
truth pill has been swallowed.

Even if this cure came out in five years, What then? I will be 30.

|Every year that goes by we get older, and loose out on the opportunity of being young, viral and being the best possible version of our selves.

I could of purchased a home by now, but in foresight this purchase is nothing special. It wont take me back to my prime years where I felt good about my self. Will sitting on materialism make me feel better about my aesthetics, and situation?


the cure, the cure.. :D

i cant take back time, but i can make the most of my situation when it matters most. Twenties are a special time in our lives, before we know it. everyone will be going there own ways. the typical life of owning a home, getting married, and a possibly having kids in your thirties. It wont bring me back to my rapid, fast and fun twenties where everyone is having loads of fun.

Guys, can I just say that being in your 30s is not so bad.

You are more secure in your career, you get more respect, you know yourself better, you have had loads more experiences then youngsters - the list goes on.

It seems worse on the outside because we aren't doing what you may find fun - clubbing and drinking to 3am. But when you get older other things become more interesting. You'd much rather go watch a film and have a long walk rather than some mad party.

Your perspective changes and that's something you need to consider.

I agree but i don't think everyone has great years in 30s..I LOVED my 30s--still danced on tables. But i never had kids..once you have kids--unless you are wealthy--its over LOL.

Yeah, I think if you don't have kids and are doing well in your career (comfortable) then your 30s are often your best years.

But for me, I actually think I suit getting older. It is like I was destined to be self deprecating educator with a penchant for rebel rousing.

When I was 13, I realized that what I most wanted out of life was to be a dad. I'll be happy when that happens, I expect those will be my happiest years, from the first baby up until the last kid hitting puberty and thus becoming a brat.

And if I don't have kids I'll probably never be truly happy.

I'd honestly rather sit in a puddle for an hour then go to a nightclub.
Same, but only because I'm f*****g ugly.
Would you go back to being a teenager or being a pre-teen or a baby?
Yes, I'd go back to being a baby, that seems obvious. I would live longer and the cure for hairloss might be out by the time I'd start losing my hair again. I could also avoid making the mistakes I made when I was younger.

sh*t music, too loud, overpriced drinks, filled with drunk wankers, bad dancing.

I never saw the appeal.

Once I realised I could skip all that and just date via tinder I stopped going.

Guys science is advancing rapidly Billionaires dont want to grow old and invest in reverse aging research people like google founders forming callico a company with 1.5 billion in bank to do exactly that. So dont worry we will probably never go beyond 45 age-wise thing is we gotta keep our hair until then cause else we might end up like depressed losers.

I don't see scientists reversing ageing in our lifetimes, sorry, they might be able to slow it down though.

If they do slow down ageing very well, you might be the last generation of old people ever. Within 200 years, you will look absolutely disgusting. You'll be at the top of the wikipedia entry for "old person".

I don't mind not doing it now, but I regret that I've never done it. I've never picked up a woman in a bar, I don't know what it's like. When I did go to bars or nightclubs I subconsciously understood my place and made no effort to nab women. Some friends have told me that cocktail bars are the place to go to pickup women.

Looking back though drinking culture is kind of absurd. I would sometimes drink 10+ beers a night, that's 1,500 calories in addition to food and other meals that day. Other people did that everyday, or at least, more often.

Even if they do manage to slow it down and not reverse it you will eventually reach longevity escape velocity which means every year you live another year will be added to your expected lifetime due to rapid medical research innovation making you basicly biologically immortal.

It's weird with me, it's like the older I'm getting the less and less the idea of having kids carries any appeal. When I was in my teens/early 20's, I pictured myself getting married fairly young, and raising a family, partly influenced by family and religious upbringings. Now I'm already past the age I expected this to happen and it couldn't seem further from what I want

I want to build the next 10-20 years around the things I enjoy. Working out, managing my aesthetics, motorcycles, binge watching TV shows while gorging on food, and hopefully getting around to working on the novel I started writing a couple years ago but stalled out from

I don't see kids doing anything but holding me back from these things. My time, and money no longer my own...a feeling of guilt and weight in my mind anytime I allow myself freetime

If I'm honest, I would like a long term committed relationship with a female, although at the moment I'm in a good place where I don't really think or care about it. The thought is still lodged in the back of my mind. I see my lack of desire to have kids as a very probable obstacle in finding a long term mate, as 99% of females I know seem dead set on having children

Its nothing special and your usually drunk so the sex is sloppy and not really remembered.
