There are a couple of good hairstyles that benefit from a little balding, if it gets to much just go full bald. Its just superficial in the end anyways.
Instructions unclear, I went kobold
Damn bro. Life ain't over because your hairline went bad
Nothing wrong with a little male pattern baldness. Disrespectfully OP, you are wrong.
The Vegeta hairline hit me at 25 so I just buzzed it all off... I never lived life at all lol
look up pp405
those new research chemicals for hair loss pop up every year with lofty promises, and always end up being nothingburgers when the results come in.
if you care about it, try the treatments already available. they seem to help most people.
I mean, it's just hair. We're certainly not vain and superficial enough to let that "ruin our lives", right?
I have a widows peak and I get mad compliments on my hair. It's only over when it's over, buddy.
I didn't know what a widows peak was so I googled it and figured out that's just what you call that type of hairline in english.
Personally I really like the german word for it which is "Geheimratsecken". It literally translates to "secret council corners".
Germans have the best words.
entire industries exist simply because of it. lol

My genetics 🧬 are making sure 👍 that I won’t get bald
Strelok?!
Alternatively, you can just decide not to give that much of a fuck about losing hair.
I would be fine if I was losing hair symmetrically, but I'm only losing hair on the left side so is pisses me off a lot.
That sucks fr
Part it the other way ;)
Yea that's me rn. It hasn't hit me yet (at least not noticably) but when it does I'm just embracing it. I know there's medication/treatment but between cost and potential side effects (as someone who already struggles with mental health the possibility of Post Finasteride Syndrome scares the shit out of me) it's not worth it.
Plus I have a personal aversion to the idea of clinging on to youth or denying aging. Nothing against people trying to look how they want to but I'm embracing aging, it feels so much less stressful than the alternative
What's Post Finasteride Syndrome?? Just curious.

Some men experience side effects like reduced/absent libido, depression, and other negative mental health effects. I don't know how rare they are but to me it's not worth the risk just for my own vanity. Sure the pharma companies deny it's a thing but they have a clear profit motive so I don't trust a damn word they say
Oh, Jesus. That's terrifying to read.
Man, my only regret about shaving my head was that I didn’t do it 15 years sooner!
Bald early to mid 30 dudes are currently all the rage as streamers.
The rest have become vtubers.
It's rather funny watching the slow take over of bald bros on twitch and YouTube.
Top-shelf zaza disrupted my circadian rhythm!
Got any more of those Sequoia banshee boogers?
At some point in their life most men have to make the greatest decision in their life... Keep their hair or keep their erection. I've started shaving my head!
Please explain
There's a certain drug that prevents baldness but reduces your testosterone
I'm ugly with hair, losing it won't make me that much uglier.
Bald is an improvement in a lot of cases. Unless your my dad who has a vendeta against his skull and has given him self more lumps then Elmer fudd.
eh you probably look fine. imo very few people are actually “ugly”
So about ⅙ of people are ugly if that adjective means 'one standard deviation below'.
I started taking pills for it a few years ago. It was ridiculously easy to do. I did it online, it auto-renews, and it's an easy chewable I take every morning.
I think a lot of guys have the impression that hair treatments are bullshit, because for a while there they were. But the new shit works, at least for me.
No side effects or downsides for me. My hairline is just paused, even rewound a little bit.
This the stuff where 2% of users lose their boners, then 2% of that 2% don't get them back once they stop taking it? Nah I'll take the chrome dome.
Which med is that?
Everyone’s risk tolerance is different, but a 99.96% chance that I would not experience irreversible side effects feels like pretty good odds
When I see people complaining about losing their hair to male pattern baldness I'm thinking "just take finasteride" or "why don't you just take finasteride" or "just block the DHT this isn't some inevitable thing and that'd probably help so why don't you just do that?" But I'm not a testosterone enjoyer so I lack their perspective on things
It's not that simple for some men, but for some other men it's exactly that simple. I'm sure I'm a little lucky, but it was such an easy decision for me with no downside.
Estrogen is the answer to this problem :3
transfem intensifies
I've had a pretty intense widows peak since teenagerdom and have also gotten regular compliments on my hair since teenagerdom. Coincidence? I think not!
i passed that point at like 22.
I shaved my head clean, I'm pretty luckly I've got a great head shape for a bicked head. Unfortunately I did it just to see and I have a really full head of hair at 42. I'll never get to share my beautiful bald head with the world.
