How Do You Guys Cope With This Condition?

[NorwoodingMyWay]

Balding, of the severe kind (norwood 4+) can easily take you down 3 points, especially in today's metro-sexualized society. The amount of time men are spending for clothing preparation, styling, grooming, has gone to unprecedented levels.

It leads one to question if winning the affection of such women who value these things so highly is even worth it.

No, no it's not worth it. If a lady denies you because you suffer from hairloss, then she is the type to go out with tanned douches who treat her like dog s***, but she doesn't care because they have hair. A mature woman would NOT care whether you suffer from Androgenetic Alopecia because she will settle for your personality, that grey matter in your skull and your heart. Believe it or not.

It can (take 3 pts away) if you let the hair grow out. And for some, even shaven can take that way as well. But, for a fair amount of guys, shaving it to stubble or gone all together can mitigate the point loss. For some guys, maybe only ends up taking a point or so away, and in rare occurrences, even gaining upwards to a point (aside from that some black guys just look better shaved).

In the end, if your hair is at the point of taking too much away from your looks, shave it. Too many nerds on this site and people in general keep that thin nw3 with that monster forehead grown out for far too long. Do not do such things.

Alas, that only happens when you're not only handsome but masculine as well ( broad face, broad frame). Maybe 1 in 100 are spared
Those who are good-looking but of the pretty kind, are doomed
Those who are average are doomed as well
Those who are short and/or frail ( certainly if combined with any of the above) are doomed too

Balding is mutilation, few things can so thoroughly fk up your aesthetic, which in this day and age, especially if you're young, is all-important

So true! I've always said there are literally 4 choices, depending on what suits you and what is possible:

1) finasteride and transplants to keep it full or those with incredible donor and a lowish pattern can rely just on transplants. This is pretty rare though.
2) Spread the grafts around if you've lost a lot and maintain a buzz cut. Some surgeons specialise in this and adding in SMP.
3) Razor
4) Piece

Literally the only way to look aesthetic. Of course option 1 is preferred but option 2 is not a bad one for those struggling with serious hair loss and can pull off the cropped look. Like you said and I've written a lot, black guys just look naturally good shaved or anyone with a tan benefits too. Seeing a good surgeon (not just recommended but tailored for your situation) helps a lot.

I support your point of view. I have relatives who have a serious disability and cannot move. Yes, now they have more options and they can use mobile scooters as on this page instead of ordinary wheelchairs. But I am glad that I am just starting alopecia. Yes, it will increase over time, but it is not the end of the world for me. I know that at this very moment there are many people who are much worse and this wears me off for nothing.

I also use to think that it's "just" hair, and others have disabilities, cancer, other worse conditions and so on. But i still can't get over the fact that i think it is sucking SO much joy out of my youth/20's, so life quality is going down quite a bit. I have focused on other things the last 6 months, so i'm not as depressed as before (im also having sex on a regular basis with a nice girl right now, that f*****g helps a lot), but still... I would rather lose sight on one eye, if that meant i would keep a healthy set of norwood 1/2 for the rest of my life.

How to cope with this UGLY *** condition?
Like.... I can't stand looking myself in the mirror..... I feel NO motivation to do ANYTHING in life anymore. I'm freaking 24 with a norwood 3v with diffusse thinning all over my scalp. And i know others have it worse.. That doesn't take away the pain.
BTW. Some friends have named me egghead. They don't know how much i suffer. Life is a f*****g joke.... The last year, i keep daydreaming about suicide, and i don't know how much longer i can take this sh*t....

Cold approach pickup. I meditate. I do scalp massages and I use Rosemary oil. I exercise. I take my b vitamins.

I am not a neurotic Nancy so, my accutane related male pattern baldness is whatever.

I love my hair but like youth and life, if or when the time comes, I will say goodbye.

Then, I will go do more cold approach pickup and meditation. Thus far no girl has commented. If anything else its a compliment.

Your neurotic narrator is speeding up hairloss.

By not being a neurotic Nancy, You will lower stress hormone's and avoid speeding in the process.

Do what you can. Slow it. Relax. Whenever the time comes, dwayne Johnson it.

I am practicing Buddhism so, monk mode is inevitable.

Good luck.

Learn game. Meditate. Pull girls on monk mode no hair. There's too much time spent on whimpering about hair.

Love yourself. Love the hair. Get on with life.

So you are valuing one of your eyes at less than €5-10k euros (price of one/two top hair transplants). Mental!

you really think 1 hair transplant (or several) gonna ever give you a thick full head of hair? if so you're sadly delusional.
plus they always basically tell you that you have to take finasteride for life along with those hair transplants or else your hair will keep getting worse.

1 eye in return for a thick full head of hair for life, not even gonna think twice.

imagine still believing in "game", no "game" in the world will help you get girls if you're unattractive, and no attractive dude needs to have "game" to pull chicks.
"game" was invented by average to ugly guys thinking confidence is what matters.

don't be one of those guys whos harassing girls on the street after wasting your money going to a "seduction"/"game" course done by idiots.

Whereas I do agree that the whole PUA world is quite toxic, there are a lot of men that could benefit for at least knowing some of the principles about what to say/do and what not to say/do to/with women.

You need professional help. "Delusional" aptly describes yourself.

I've already had one hair transplant and my head of hair looks thick, just waiting for my crown to grow in. I don't take finasteride. Think you need to do a bit more research before making bold statements.

Good luck with finding your way in life.

Spoken like a man who has never pulled before.

You have a choice. Cry about bei g Charlie Brown or chat lots of girls. Pull and pull. More.

Harrass girls? You sound like a male feminist. Jordan Peterson called them a weasel.

No, he called MGTOW men weasels and afterwards he said he regretted it. Probably because he found out that he was insulting a lot of potential followers.

No.

He called make feminists weasels.

Male feminists = weasels!

Guys who simp calling men approaching harassing are male feminists.

Inability to compete.

That is Joe Rogan, not Jordan Peterson...

Also, I am for equal rights and opportunities for men and women, but I still approach women when I want to. Am I now a weasel or not?

I'm glad you think so mate. I'll just stick out the big 3 as long as possible, and see how long it's going to maintain my hair. And yeah, that should probably give some peace of mind, but i'm kind og obsessing/stressed out about it - I just can't understand that i let the balding process go so long before doing something.. F*cking hell man, my hair is so damn important to me, and my dad has been telling (not directly, but you know, a lot of "heads up") that i was loosing my hair, and i didn't do anything.. But seriously, i started balding at 18 and if someone told me back then, that some men actually go bald in their early twenties (even earlier for some) i would have thought they were making a joke.... I guess i have to try and cut the obsession and just stick with my treatments.. It's kind of my only option! Maybe i look back when i'm 30 with a better set of hair than i have now, who knows.. Good luck keeping up with your treatments, and credit for being a genuine good admin with solid advice!

I know this is a relatively old post but it reminds me so much of me before I started balding. If someone had told me that men in their late teens can go bald I would have never believed them or taken them seriously.

well I'm a diffuser so it's a whole different game for me when it comes to hair transplants.

[Haironnu]

I don't because I'm scared af to take it because I already have issues that are possible side effects of the drug.
