I'm a skinny 24 year old who can't grow a beard, and people usually guess my age as 18-20...to be honest, I enjoy it. But to have that combined with balding sucks, because some day, probably quite soon, I'll have a contradictory mix of boyish and oldish features. Right now, I'm using dermmatch...

Haha I just wrote a short screenplay inspired by this post. That barber is comedy gold!

I wouldn't say it's denial, it's simply because if you have recession in your twenties, and no hair loss any where else, it's statistically far more likely to be a mature hairline than male pattern baldness. Around 95% of caucasian men get a "mature hairline", but I think only something like...

Good post...the last time I felt that way I was only 17. It's amazing just how much mental energy worrying about my hair loss drains from me, and how much stress it creates...the wind, rain and bright sun all bring their own problems. I yearn for the days when I didn't have to care. Just threw...

Yes, I do have fine hair, but I used to have quite high density for a fine haired person, and to lift up hair and see scalp like in the first two pics is highly unusual for me. Another thing I should point out, n the first 2 pics I was wearing concealer making my hair look thicker than it...

I've been on fincar for just over a year, and wasn't sure if it was working. Well, now it looks like I have my answer. In the last couple of months I've noticed thinning in the area where even a nw7 shouldn't notice any loss. So basically, I'm fucked. I have the most aggressive form of hair loss...

13. The embittered norwood 6. The guy who has the advanced hair loss - he started to go very bald, very young and very quickly. These individuals will deny that anyone who's hair loss is below a norwood 4 is going bald at all : "a 3 inch recession at the temples? That's a barely a mature...

Given that I live in northern scotland, and am naturally fair skinned, I seem have a skin tone similar to that of an albino through most of the year. I am also, ofcourse, going bald, and am less than eagre to shave my hair because I just look ill. Well, the last week the weather here has been...

Woah, woah! Is this a joke? The OP said he has the same hairline now that he was born with; some people have naturally high hairlines, and that doesn't predict future male pattern baldness, because obviously being born with a high hairline is sod all to do with androgens. Not much DHT in the body of a newborn as...

Okay, I just went onto inhouse to place an order for fincar, but they discontinued all products containing finasteride apparently. Are there any other reputable online pharmacies out there? I need some alternatives fast.

Yeah, I was really trying to occupy a middle ground with my post between the extremes of "hair loss will ALWAYS destroy your career and relationship opportunities" and "it's ALWAYS in your imagination - noone cares you're going bald and it will never affect you negatively". I wanted to say...

Why is it that people on this site constantly try to discredit the views of others by taking them to a totally ludicrous extreme? I didn't say anything in my post which suggests I holds views as utterly deluded and laughable as this. I'm sure most people don't give rat's *** if I'm going bald...

Hey Boondock, I have a degree in social science, and I've studied psychology as part of that so I'm aware of the phenomena you've described, and can't help admit from an objective, scientific point of view that you have a point. Ofcourse, subjectively I can't help but feel "I know what I saw", I...

I'm afraid to say, that people who will try and claim that this kind of thing is just in your head are perhaps over estimating the culture they live in...Or perhaps just over estimating human nature itself. The petty nastiness that supposedly normal people display. In my first yeat at uni, in...

Back in 2007, I used to live in a flat just above a solicitor's office. I used to have my hair longer in those days and styled it to hide the recession, and thankfully the thinning elsewhere concealed itself. Anyway, an attractive young lady who appeared to be about the same age as me (I was...
