a man who accepts his baldness will have a better quality of life than a man who chooses to use finasteride, because the bald man gets all the neural effects of DHT that give you that supreme sense of well being, whereas the finasteride user, although clinging onto his identity still, will invariably become a beta biitch in the process as per his 'calculated risk' (lol)
I was in the same boat as all of you. I know how important hair is to your identity. you're deluding yourself, hard, though, if you think that it's worth it. the difference is you can eventually get used to your baldness, and overcome it. so long as you're on finasteride, however, you're always going to be a shell of your former self.
