I deal with it by working out daily and staying in shape but don't get me wrong... I'd rather be skinny with hair than buff with no hair. Everyday I wake up and am forced to make the decision of whether to shave my head again or let it grow out and use concealer, those are the only options.
I have a widows peak going on (sort of like Vegeta from Dragonball Z but not quite) and all of the guys on my dads side have the same hairline as I have (Norwood 2-3) but on my moms side all of the guys are NW6 or worse. So either way my hair is going to go to **** without taking my medication everyday.
It's depressing, some of my friends (if you can call them that) have perfect hairlines and a couple even have skater haircuts with no thinning whatsoever ad a full fringe. When I look in the mirror I see someone who is 34 instead of 24 and it makes me feel that way too.
Yeah, I'm in the best physical shape of my life now but it's all just to compensate for my ****ty hair and I still never get any dates despite having bigger arms than all of my friends which proves that baldness is the best female deterrent you can have. At this pace I'll be in my 40's before I find a leftover woman who will accept me being bald since most other guys will be balding at that age as well so the playing field will be level.
My parent's really wanted grandkids but I don't think it's going to happen and my younger brother isn't faring any better than me as he is balding too. Even if I did find a mate I'd still be wary of having kids because of the fact I could potentially pass the hairloss gene to my offspring and it would kill me inside if that happened and they had to go through what I am now.
So for how I deal with hair loss... I honestly drink a lot of hard liquor when I hit rock bottom (every other week or so) and end up passing out which has got me by for the last few years, it's not healthy but it works and I usally do okay for the next few weeks until it happens again and I grab the bottle once more.
At the moment I'm jobless with only $4,000 in the bank account so things are looking especially bleak. I'm probably going to eventually end up homeless but my parent's offered to let me move back in with them again as long as I pay them $200 a month and give them 2/3rds of my food stamps so that will help. But damn... I can't get bailed out forever, my parent's are nearly 60 and they aren't going to be around forever so I'm doomed in the long term.
And if my luck with the ladies stays the way it is I might get laid 3-4 more times in the rest of my life and go on 6-7 dates because in the last 15 years I've only had sex once and have been on 3 dates.
Man, this is depressing me... reality hits like a train :sad:.
