Do you tell your girlfriend you're on propecia?

I hide nothing from my g/f.

Apart from the sausage.

My g/f knows. Hell, women use oils and lotions to keep their skin young and vibrant, special shampoos, push-up bras. My g/f knows and thinks it's cool that they make a pill for it. She also likes the results and the fact that I have not really had any side effects.

I also have coworkers who know (guys) who are also concerned about hairloss. To me, it's not a big deal. It's not something perhaps to go out and preach to the world, but as far as I am concerned, if it comes up, you can mention it just as someone might mention that they wear contacts (or have reading glasses).

Most people I find, are fascinated by it, because it works and because so many men are obviously thinning. No one has ever been like "what a loser, you take finasteride?" It's just not a big deal.

I can't imagine dating someone for any length of time or with any intimacy and being afraid to share that.

My ex (who i'm still on really good terms with) recently asked me why my forehead was covered in greasy smelly stuff. Normally I would have cringed in embarrassment and run away, but in a completely out of character way, I just told her that it was minoxidil. It was an incredibly enlightening experience which led me to a greater insight about hairloss and stuff.

-I personally think that people who are all secretive over their regimen are doing everyone in the same boat in a disfavour. The only way to get around social stigmas is to be perfectly open about them. Look at the gay rights movement as a perfect example of this. Fifty years ago pretty much everyone was in the closet. The mere fact that people have been coming out more readily has been a self-fulfilling prophecy, because gayness has become normalised in society. I have absolutely no doubt that if everyone was completely open about their vanity and desire to keep their hair, there would be no (or very few) hairloss jokes. Therefore a big round of applause for all of you who have been honest about their regimens (I'm still not quite there yet.)

I told her before I even started taking it that I was considering it. Now obviously she knows I take it. She even tells me it's probably not good for me, and just let it go, but I still take it

ya some b*tch *ss niggas, I wish ya lived in my neighborhood so ya can learn how to be mens. Even if hair loss wasn't your problem ya still will be insecure

 

[Resultsnottypical]

I might live in your neighborhood. I live in Washington , DC.

Would you like to meet up and see how "b**ch ***" I am?

Or maybe you didn't read my post above.

Insecure? Go climb back into your souped up Honda Civic with the tin spoiler and neon lights. The one you cashed in your life savings to buy in the hopes to thwart people from realizing you have a small wee-wee.

P.S. WESSIDE! 8)

Haha. So how am I supposed to take someone seriously that is so inept that they cannot spell "Losing" correctly in their user name?

I'll wager that my 12 year old niece would toss your punk ***, internet tough guy.

How pathetic.

I have an absolutely drop dead gorgeous girlfriend who has told me she would love me if I was completely bald or 400 lbs.

I suggest you all be patient, work on what really matters in life, and eventually you might find what I have.

If I lived in your neighbourhood my insecurities would stem from the poor education system and the fear of being bummed.

^ I'm hanging on to that notion.

Everyone always thinks their own girlfriend is gorgeous

I gotta say, looks play a part the first time you meet someone, but after that they tend to concentrate on other issues (humour, self-esteem, etc)

You people who are worried about telling your girlfriend; imagine the situation was reversed and your gf was taking something for her hair, or for another ailment. Would you mind? No

My girlfriend had a semi-embarrasing problem she was afraid to tell me; when she did; I just laughed lol.

The fact is, if you love someone, you won't mind what theyre doing.

Hell no.

My propecia pill I take every day is for my "bad prostrate" and Regaine is my "dandruff cure". She's none the wiser.

My mum knows however and I get the usual "don't come crying to me when your balls shrivel up" sh*t.

Propecia contains finasteride which can cross the placenta and cause damage to the male foetus. A woman therefore should not even touch the pill. Whether or not it can be transferred in the semen is a question which has not been fully answered by the manufacturer of this powerful drug.
A woman has a right to know, to make her own decisions. You don't want to take any risks with this drug. You know what to do.
Spread the word.

I agree. I think if you are really connected to the person, you shouldn't have to hide anything. I think i'm going to tell her.

in fact I tell everyone. it's just a treatment. My gilfriend knows it of course. And I have explaned her why she can't even touch it.
