Here's my background: I'm a 19 year-old male, diffuse thinning with some temple recession, who has been on finasteride for the past 15 months. Recently I've been experiencing mild muscle weakness/numbness on the right side of my body and went to my family doctor. After nothing out of the...

Do you have a source for that photo? That's crazy recession in a little over a year. I feel bad for him.

When I see another balding man walking down the street, what are the odds he's on treatment? Do most people just let their hair loss run its course?

Damn I actually like this look. He has the same hairline as me (although he probably has better density), and I agree it looks better than his lesbian NW0 days; it gives off its own personality. What norwood does he look like here?

Probably a little bit of both tbh. At the end of the day, who you associate with is a representation of you, so of course, people want to associate with others who are attractive, even if there's no romantic or sexual interest there. However, people shutting themselves out is probably still the...

I've been noticing that my friend has been diffuse thinning for a while little now, almost on the same trajectory as me. He finally brought it up to me and I'm trying to show him I can relate and tell him about the options available. Before I can even begin he just says "Nah bro I guess I'll...

Well sounds like I'm on a pretty similar trajectory tbh and that's terrifying :(. Guess I'll start minoxidil asap and pray

Yeah you're right. Guess I just have to snatch by Dad's Costco card so I can get some of that cheap Kirkland minoxidill. I still need to get through college right now haha no real money to save up for a transplant so I'm just hoping finasteride can hold me over until then. At what age did you get on...

Yeah I'm scared for when the girls start finding out (maybe they already have and I'm waiting for them to tell me). Random side story, before I left for college last year my best girl friend told me as a joke: "You better not start balding while you're away haha". I laughed and said "Well I...

I know right? It all happens so fast it really just feels like a nightmare. I just feel like there has to be an explanation as to why mine (and yours) is ao aggressive. I started puberty at 12. How can DHT just suddently start attacking the follicle so severely at 18? It doesn't make sense...

Thanks man, I really appreciate the reply. That's awesome that you made it out so well! I totally agree, I see so many people put it off and then choose to fight it when it's getting too late. I'm happy with when I started fighting it but I'm concerned about the lack of progress. Do you have any...

No other way to start this off besides saying this is truly UNFAIR. I get it. In comparison to the whole world, I've been very blessed in my life. I'm conscious of that and truly grateful. But everything is relative, and relative to my direct peers I am currently massively f*****g disadvantaged...

He has the best kind of hair loss IMO. Temple recession but with super great density actually looks pretty good initially, it adds some personality.

Thanks man. How would one really know if they're done with puberty though? I started at 12 (impressed all the girls with my hairy armpits) but still could have a much thicker beard, maybe an extra inch of height, etc. Edit: And also I have a super small frame and would really like to fill out...

My Dad still has almost a full head of hair at 57, just starting to thin on the crown. However, both of my grandfathers and 1/2 of my uncles are bald and went bald quite young from what I am told.
