why aren't treatments more well known? only rogaine is known about because its a meme. no one knows about propecia. even hair transplants aren't hardly known. because people MOVE ON WITH LIFE after going bald. they get a job, wife, success just fine. if hair loss really mattered then all of this sh*t would be more famous

Please. People know about keeps, hims, and Roman which means they know about generics.

I mean hair loss treatment is a multi billion dollar industry so idk if it is that unknown, the money gotta come from somewhere.

I think the shave it bro route is just so ingrained and forced in society that people just don't bother looking into actual treatments and may assume the ones that do exist are just scams or too expensive or too risky because of side effects and just go into the shave it route. I tried to read about hair transplants in my country and literally 90-95 % of the comments where some variation of the boring *** "just shave it bro" "Jason Statham bro" "bald is a sign of high T and manliness" bla bla bla.

And in general I don't think most people care extremely much about hair loss, most people just have slow hair loss over decades, so there isn't as much of an "urgency" to treat it (if my hair loss was super slow over multiple decades I'm not sure I'd care as much as I do now). For people with fast aggressive hair loss there can be more of that urgency, but then the above applies, and people in general have a tendency to bury their head in the sand and just ignore problems, and then whaddya know they're bald. Life of course isn't over when bald, but they will still have lost a big part of their identity and ended up looking worse than before due to baldness.

I do think treatment will become more popular and widely-known in the future, I've seen youtubers in recent times sponsor stuff like keeps and such.

good points. also the sexist archaic idea that men should suffer in silence and certainly shouldn't fret about their appearance. thankfully this mindset is finally dying out, and that's why you see a lot more younf men being candid about the many issues hairloss causes and fighting it proactively. instead of ignoring it out of some warped idea of masculinity and then coping with the usual spiel

of course, on the flip side, this is also by far the worst time in history to bald in as a young fella. now men are less valued for the resources they provide and more for being objects of lust

doubt it. if hair loss was really hurting peoples life then they would seek that stuff out. but they dont.

Downright "hurting peoples life" I think is a bit of a stretch (never even claimed it did in the OP), but bald is certainly not a positive. People often start styling their hair in a different way to cover hair loss, and start wearing hats all the time when they're balding, which is not exactly a sign that they like it. If you were to ask someone with a full head of hair if they would want to go bald, I sort of doubt any remotely noteworthy amount would say yes.

AbsoluteZen's way of thinking is : the majority. Must be an utilitarian briton. According to his avatar, he probably thinks he's the smartest men on earth...

Yeah sure, whatever the majority of the population says. What ? Not every single person on earth is on finasteride ? Then it must be because hairloss isn't a problem :D

It's not ideal of course but balding is not the end of the world
