Fooling girlfriends

[TourdeForce24]

A possible scenario to ponder. I have been on Propecia for about 4 months now and my hair has leveled out a bit. I know it's still too early to tell, but I'm not losing it as rapidly as I was before and the shedding has stopped, etc. As it stands now it's hard to tell that my hair is going the way of the DoDo bird as it's only receded at the temples as opposed to diffuse thinning. OK, if I were to "fall in love" with a girl in the next few months or even couple of years, should I tell her I am on Propecia? The stuff only works for about 5-10 years, right? Say I marry this girl who is really hot and digs guys with hair. She may think she is getting someone with a full head of hair only to see it probably rapidly disappear in a decade or so barring no change in current procedures. Do I owe it to the girl to tell her that she is getting a defective hair package but not a defective man?

As some of you might have figured out, I am seeing this really beautiful, intelligent girl. We aren't "in love" yet, but I see it headign that way. But she has told me that "she would get rid of a guy who started to lose his hair" half jokingly, but as we all know, jokes are often very true insights into people's character. I just don't know what to do here. I'd hate to lose this girl.

ignoring the fact that a girl that would get rid of a guy who started to lose his hair is not worth your time and certainly not marriage, if you are a good responder to propecia according to the studies you will keep your hair for the next 5 years. in 5 years there will be far superior topical and other treatments that will help you grow even more hair. your girlfriend will probably never see you significantly lose your hair -- again, assuming you respond to the treatments.

I thought the only next step was hair cloning, and that was about 10-15 years away?

Maybe you should tell her half jokingly that you would dump a girl who put on does not remain skinny (if that's what you like). While guys loose their hair, it's very common for women to "naturally" plump up when they hit their mid/late 20's. Just waits until she has a kid...whooo boy.

Saying that is just as stupid and immature as what she said about your hair. She sounds pretty shallow dude, sorry to say it.

This girl is not worth your time. She sounds really superficial...

Having said that, you have to ask yourself the following:

If she lost all of HER hair would you still stay with her?

if the answer is no...then maybe you two are perfect for each other.

yeah i would just tell her, i told my girlfriend that I use rogaine. She's in the bathroom with me when I put it on in the morning sometimes.

If your trying to "fool" your girlfriend. Then either you need help, or you need a new girlfriend (or both).

You guys all spoke my mind. I don't have to fool my girlfriend, and that's the way it should be. She's known about my hairloss and everything BEFORE I even started treatments. I'm only 19, 18 at the time, and I told her I was considering taking pills for my hairloss. She said that was stupid, and I shouldn't even bother. And this is from an 18 year old girl. All I've gotta say is you can find somebody who loves you for you bud...

As long as you are skilled at pleasing her with oral sex, can listen to her rant about her day for a half hour without butting in, and are smart enough with your money to be able to afford to take her out for dinner every now and then or surprise her with an occasional gift or card telling her that she's special, then she'll forget all about your hairloss.

I agree with the above, though. My ex thought my attempts to halt hairloss were stupid. She was somewhat entertained with my regimen.. she used to apply my minoxidil for me sometimes while I sat between her legs, and licked her belly button... she thought that was hottt.

If I were you I would end the relationship before it got too deep. However if you do decided to stay wwith her, don't tell her about the hairloss. There is no point in destroying the relationship yourself.
