What do you want me to say? That I'm happy for you? That I'm glad it's you and not me who has regained their humanity? Sorry.

 

[slipy]

a little more enthusiasm for our ol' pal exodus wouldn't hurt, uc man.

i don't hear the sound of champagne bottles being opened. :dunno:

 

[DannyBoyy]

How long was this thread up? before you deleted your message? you could off waited im sure they would off been a response in the end.

 

[slipy]

It's more a post for the success stories section IMO. Whatever sense of comrodery I may feel towards some of you quickly evaporates with the realization that most all of you guys here are twenty something nw2s who will probably never ever go bald. It's like being in the sixth ring of hell looking up at you guys escaping from the first or second and wanting to claw my way up to follow you but I can't.

 

[Quantum Cat]

UC why don't you start your own messageboard for men who are completely bald? serious suggestion

I tried to rep you but apparently I need to spread rep around before I can rep you again.
Great post.

although some of us utilize cheating to buy some time and postpone later stages (anti-androgens), still geneticaly were all of the same flawed, inferior premature male pattern baldness breed. that does make us brothers in a way. being a Norwood 3 i can safely say im walking on a thin line, it will only take another step and there will be no going back.
besides uc man, exodus started balding noticeably while still in school, so technically this means his hair genes are even worse than yours. i doubt you can put either him or me in the never going to be bald category, even though i'd wish for it. theres only so much available treatments of our days are capable of doing. the next generations will most likely benefit from science, but it won't be us.

Sorry, I hate it when this forum turns into a Norwood pissing contest (as it frequently does) but to be fair to UCman it's not about the age at which you begin losing it, but more the speed at which your hairloss continues to progress, which is most mentally damaging...

I mean I also started balding noticeably in my last year of high school, but the loss has been steady and gradual since then, about a 1/3 Norwood per year roughly, which has given me time to adjust and adapt mentally, not like one of those unfortunate guys who loses almost 2 NWs a year, doesn't matter what age they are, those guys definitely have it worse than anybody else psychological shock-wise.

Im the same mine started in last year off secondary school (high school to you) i was 16 about a month away from 17 i believe...and i was shocked at first obviously but it went very slowly for me to and is still going (im 21 now) it also gave me time to get use to it and get over it also.

 

[slipy]

to tell you the truth, the begining of my hair loss had a shock element to it that was fear-inducing enough. imagine having decent hair one month, thinking ''fuk yea soon it will be as long as i always wanted it to be'' then out of nowhere the next month you have a massive thinning to Norwood 3 pattern. it was so swift i actually believed i was going to be bald in 6 months. luckily, if you can even talk about luck when having male pattern baldness manifest, the rate reduced drastically to the point where it seemed to have stopped completly and stayed at that for a long while.

that being said age matters, at least from my point of view. i'd prefer going bald within 1 year at 30 to slowly balding since my teens. but thats just me.
