    Ever feel like you keep (inadvertently) offending people?

    I laughed cause that's EXACTLY something I'd do too. I understand that you can't please everyone in life; I just never realized (till recently) that this also means that you could piss people off when you have no intention/reason. Oh well, just one of life's lessons I suppose. Either way...

    Ever feel like you keep (inadvertently) offending people?

    I don't know what it is, but I feel that I've aways put people off by saying the wrong things or acting the wrong way. It's not THAT bad; I do have a lot of quality friends and I go out a lot. But I also know that I've somehow pissed off people without meaning to. Sometimes I'll sound sarcastic...

    Propecia 'risking men's sexual health'

    I've reported/edited for a local paper for 3 years, and in my opinion this is a really, really poorly written article. The research is totally lacking. You can tell the writer used only two sources: 1. the boy with hair loss and 2. the internet. The writer says something like "many doctors in...

    my hair isn't really like yours. but if we're both diffuse thinners, it means we have at least a few things in common.

    I'm 24 right now. I think you should just jump on the minoxidil. Some people have claimed that it led to a unrecoverable shed, but my theory is this: 1. the minoxidil urges your hair to grow. meaning it sheds the old follicles 2. BUT, your male pattern baldness is so progressive that it can't grow new hair 3. so it...

    A year in review

    So I apologize for not having pictures. And I'm sure this "success" story isn't as awe-inspiring as the rest. But I felt that, being a year into my regiment, I owe it to the forum to give an update. And I think that every little bit helps to boost morale. Anyway. I was disappearing at the...

    A tad confused with this one girl I'm seeing

    Yeah. It's a definite bet that, before she leaves, I'm going to come out and ask if: 1. she feels the same way about me 2. she thinks we could ever be exclusive But the talk about communication brings up an interesting question: what if she IS communicating the right way, and I'm just being...

    A tad confused with this one girl I'm seeing

    Africa is a pretty big place hahah. But yeah, thanks for sharing your opinion. I can see where you're going with it. So...would a canister of Raid get rid of these fly maggots?

    A tad confused with this one girl I'm seeing

    I hope its not too selfish of me to post this here. But I've been thinking about my situation with this one girl, and I thought I'd asked for opinions. Here's how it has gone so far: pro: our dates have gone great. we drank, we danced, we bantered. we found out we like all the same...

    lowered libido. but not finasteride's fault (?)

    ive had some troubling developments in the past couple months. it started when i was getting a little playful with a gal pal. we ended up under the sheets, but i was surprised to see how difficult it was for me to get and maintain an erection. this happened again a month later. then i got to...

    what does DHT do again?

    (note: i know i this has probably been discussed before, but doing a search on "dht" only leads me to a big can of worms.) so what is the purpose of DHT in an adult male? from what i've been able to find online, it seems that DHT's primary purpose is to carry out the maturation of the genitals...

    Rogaine 5% After 5 Months (Just Started Sheeding Again?)

    i have the same story, more or less. i added minoxidil and nizoral to my regiment last march (i was already taking propecia), and saw good regrowth for the next 3-4 months. then in august i noticed that my hair was worse. after freaking out a bit, i decided to jump on liquid minoxidil (i had been...

    Success on KSR [with pics]

    hey casperz, sorry to see that youve lost ground. if i may make a suggestion, i think you should maybe get back on the 15% minoxidil (which i believe you said you dropped). i think that, of all the changes you made, the 15% minoxidil is the leading candidate as being the biggest factor.

    Avodart Success after only 4 months and how I did it.

    I don't want to be an a**hole and tell you what to feel about his or that. I've never tried dutasteride, and I've never had any bad side effects from finasteride. So obviously I've never been in your shoes. But there are two things that make me worry about your account: 1. Why haven't you tried lowering your...
