Lol, I was one year and a half with my ex and I was still putting on minoxidil (just skipped it when I was with her).
Yet baldness never came up on our discussions, for me, Fred 'baldest person at a young age in the world' the Belgian.
How did I do it? Simple, if you keep your mouth shut about it, women won't bring it up, at all.
I told one of the girls I broke up with for the hell of it. "I was bald at 22, and then, a hair transplant!"
Her reaction? "Yeah right." She didn't even believe me. A man can't be as vain, right? After that, our conversation was awkward and she started talking about her acne as a teen like it was even comparable.
Also, the crust of a hair transplant fall off after ten days, after that, you can tell her you had a bad rash, and she won't even question it.
My point is, nobody gives a f*** about your hair loss, your emotional turmoil and the measures you take to "fix" it, especially women, and especially the women you're dating.
They don't want to hear it. A man just cannot have insecurities, and if you have some, don't talk about them to her. She can talk about her insecurities if she wants, you'll find it cute and you won't lose your attraction for her.
But the other way around? She'll end up questioning why she even picked you. How can you be such a pussy and so vain? "It's only hair!" <= That's what she'll be thinking if she has never lost hair herself, basically almost all women out there.
Keep your mouth shut and she won't bring it up. Hell I managed to date 4 different girls the last few months and none of them brought it up.
Read this thread, buckthorn brought it up, not her. Why would you do this to yourself?
