Who Else Would Kill Just To Be Above Average Height And Nw1?

[Matt3535]

I would give my entire life savings (over 100k) to be norwood 1. In fact I would give up my entire paycheck for the next 5 years of my life to be back to Norwood 1 (meaning no bullshit finasteride, minoxidil, hair transplant mutilation, etc. Just the original hair I had before this disease). I'd give up 4 inches of height as well.

Would do the same.

You would end up finding out that you're still not satisfied and sh*t wasn't worth it.

Lmao at everyone here thinking they are the new Brad pitt with a nw1.

I'm happy with everything in my life right now except for losing my hair mate. I'm in great shape, at a great place career-wise and am liking the dating life. Sometimes it really is just the hairloss.

Childish post. Who said anything about looking like Pitt? It's just about looking your (genetic) best.

You would really give it all up just to be a bum with NW1? Sounds extreme to me.. it's not like you're bald. Having a solid career really helps with women too. Hair loss does suck though don't get me wrong.

Me too
And it has nothing to do with women, It just for myself. Ye I may have severe bdd and hairloss has ruined me completely...

You could always get that back tho. You're never getting the hair back. I told my buddy once who said he would trade my body for his hair that I'd do it in an instant because in a year I'd get myself fit again while he would never maintain the physique. Then I'd just be a fit dude with great hair again!

I'm happy with the career I've chosen. It fulfills me, just doing the work alone. Getting paid well for your work means a lot and gives you opportunities of course, but I'm mostly doing my job out of an intrinsic motivation. Not doing it to get rich or getting women, but just continue to live comfortably.

With women I am happy about the attention I get and the relationships I've had. There isn't really something I need to catch up on, hurry up with, or just work my way through. I've experimented enough and am now old enough to just... be content - and mean it. It's more about feeling yourself and the rush of getting to know someone. That's what I like about dating right now but it's not the biggest focus in my life right now.

No, it's as @karatekid says. It just mostly has to do with me and how I like to see myself. My hairline has receded a bit (maybe about a centimeter) in the last 18 months and I lost quite a bit of density in the front. Just two years ago, it looked like a system in the center. If I pull my hair back, I just don't like what I see. How that little loss frames my face differently and how it changes quite a lot. I just don't want to worry about it anymore and I'd be more than willing to live "a quiet life" for a period of time if it meant that I wouldn't have to anymore.

This sounds a lot like me even including the type of hair loss (prior to my transplant). If this is your only major problem, then you should have a transplant about 6 months from now! A good frame can make a huge difference. Once you've been on finasteride for a while and you tick all the other boxes (slow pattern of loss, age e.t.c) don't hesitate for surgery. One day of surgery and your insecurity/aesthetics will go in opposing directions forever. The earlier, the more time you get to enjoy the results in your prime.

Yeah, it would definitely improve what I'm dealing with but since I got rather long hair and bangs no one ever thinks of me as a balding guy. Styling goes a long way for me. The longer I am researching this whole issue, the more I am convinced that I will never get a transplant (IF finasteride works for me long-term). I just look at all these examples online of great results and they still don't reach an acceptable level of naturalness for me. There are exceptions of course but I don't want to spend 20k+ on a transplant right now because maybe I can accept a natural receded look in 10 years or so. And if I get one now, I would be stuck with a juvenile hairline for the rest of my life which is not something I think would work out.

I dunno, it's a mixed bag and a difficult subject. Everyone has to draw their own conclusions as to what's best for them. If finasteride keeps what I have right now, I am good. However I can totally understand the idea. I use a little bit of toppik in my crown every now and then and got the spray applicator. A few weeks ago, before a shower, I went wild and filled in the temples to the levels of where a transplant might get me and it definitely was an improvement. I looked younger, fresher ... it's just better.
