This is a very tricky question VWdude and I couldn't give you a straight answer. I feel very ambivolent (I both love and hate male pattern baldness) about my current predicament.
Of course I hate it and I wish everyday that I was never effected by male pattern baldness, but then suffering from male pattern baldness changed my life. It made me look at the world differently. I realized that I am this imperminent being that could be menuvered by fate at any moment, anywhere. male pattern baldness made me learn things that I needed to learn, but I guess I didn't want to, like a lot of things in life.
I'm guessing that is why you asked this question VWdude if this strife can somehow be a good thing...

Paradise, I'm shocked by your reply.
You know... you hit it right on the dot and things like this makes us who we are... and we are all human. If life was perfect and we all had a good healthy head of hair then the world as we know it would be pretty dull. Not only that, but given the situation we would not be challenged by our own human nature. Every experiance we have in our lives we learn something new from it and grow from it, be it good or bad.
somtimes I look in the sky at night and say to myself in the head... "why me god why me". If God were to speak to me I know what he would probably say "This is what I have for you, make the best of it". And that is exactly what I am. Dealing with male pattern baldness makes me emotionally fit. Some may take it lightly, some may totally freak and some people may even try killing themselves. I believe dealing with it makes me a stronger person, and that benefits me. Mind you I don't like balding but i'm doing what I can and just that alone puts a smile on my face.
