Should you just give up on dating as an ugly/bald/short male?

Im NW6 since 25 years old and I cant afford (probably) 2 transplants that will probably cost me around 10-12k euros.
Apart from rope, what can I do ?

You will need more than 10-12k euros for 2 transplants if you are Norwood 6.

I would suggest saving aggressively as you will probably need at least 20-25k.

It sucks but rest assured with elite surgeons you can get a good result.

Why did you not get on finasteride/minoxidil a few years earlier?

Actually it does quite a bit. Stop being a cheapass and get a good haircut, and instead of bitching all the time here lets see your hair so we can know what you actually present yourself with in public.

Good hair creates a halo effect which makes your other facial attributes look better. The same principle applies for women that have nice hair.
i pay for expensive haircuts

Also because I believed that hair didn't matter and only "confidence" did. I believed a lot of cliches that are spewed by people who were never actually bald.
i listen to rap music and i thought I'll look badass like my favorite artists.
But I just look like a dickhead and women are running away from me like Im a bad shoe shop.

It's ok to admit that, I mean who wants to be on a prostate shrinking drug for the rest of their life. And deal with the huge hassle of dumping greasy minoxidil on your head twice a day. All of these things suck. And blowing a ton of your savings on an expensive transplant just so you can look normal again for your age.

Do you know how annoying it is to go on vacation, and have to avoid letting your friends see you are popping finasteride pills... Or putting on minoxidil secretly in the bathroom and having your hair look even worse, people probably thinking you are suffering from some illness or something.

P.S. even those rappers know the women they are with are with them for the money, not because they look good with a bald head.

You're describing it perfectly.
Also, Im amazed most people think hairloss is due to stress, lol.
I have acquaintances and friends who were stressed 5ntimes than I was, but they still nw0/nw1 at 30 years old.
And yes, blowing all your money and then finding out its still not gonna work is probably suicide 100%.

Stress can definitely trigger male pattern baldness to progress faster if you have the genetic predisposition to it.

Mine kicked into overdrive during a period of particularly stressful events.

But yes, a failed transplant is completely devastating, for many reasons. The long wait, the anticipation, the money, everything. And then if your scars are bad then you can't even at least shave your head and keep some personal dignity.

This is why it's crucial to go only with the best surgeons, especially if you are a high Norwood and every graft is very precious.
