Hey Daveyou should go with option B.The more negativity you put into a situation, the worse you are gonna feel about it.In all honesty.. to ask for help regarding treatments to help your hair stop falling out..is just plain daft in my eyes. This is SlyBaldGuys, not the Rogaine for men club. I don't wishto offend you in any way, obviously you're finding it hard to come to terms with your hair loss, but the guys here can help you with that. What we can't do is wave a magic wand andmake your hair magically grow back. It's something you are going to have to come to terms with.If you listen to some of the testimonies from the fellas on here.. they've been through the samething as what you have. As of right now, you are not the only one, nor will you be the only oneto feel this way. But please..poke around a little more on the forum and do a little more reading upregarding other members losing their hair. I think it might help.
... I tried some different drugs, and to be honest, THAT was giving up. The longer I tried to stop my hair loss, the longer I postponed dealing with my hair loss.
Hey Dave

Some say that using drugs or doing transplants is way of battling your hairloss and not giving in. Like J Digory said, it's an inevitable fact that you will lose your hair, those "solutions" are nothing more than a psychological patch. Each day I am getting closer to the man I want/need to be, and I'm excited to enjoy each day, not just as a bald man, but as an original, honest, and respected person. And as it's been covered many times in this forum: Hair does not define that. period.Dave, I appreciate your post and thoughts. We are on the opposite side of the spectrums when it comes to our group of friends. I represent the guy in your group that was first to lose his hair. I know exactly how that guy feels, and I find myself resenting you for that reason. On the other hand, I have been in your situation where I have joked around with people on things they cannot control; it is only until I experience it first hand, that I realize what they went through.You will have concerns about your friends joking about your hairloss, but they have had ALL of the ups and downs that go with it. Find solace in the fact that you have another bond that will only bring you closer as friends.now shave it off.

If i wasn't a Dutch guy on the other side of the ocean, i would feel forced to ask for your phone number .As for your comments, you are absolutely right (well partly). The reason I am poking around this site is to find some reason. Maybe i should post my baldygo.com pics somewhere (before & after) and ask for some objective opinions.Cheers,Dave

I still find that thought pretty scary and can hardly beleive it. If i am really honest it feels humiliating to be an MPB- member. I know it is only hair and i have never seen a bald guy that doesn't look good with a buzzed/shaved look. I just cannot see myself 'on the opposite side of the spectrum' as you describe it. I know for a fact that my buddies would die to meet me 'over on their side'. You probably enjoyed to see members of your group go there at the time, no? Yesterday i went to my regular hair dresser. He was the first external person to notice and was very firm about it. He said: "Yep, ur thinning. No worries, that's what happens to us guys"! Damn, now i have it official (no worries, that's what happens to us...............well not him!!!!). He suggested a route: first keep the length i have now and go wild, next time he will cut it short and, depending on the progress of my mpb, buzz it one or two sessions afterwards. sh*t man! does that mean i will be bald in 4 months even if i do not follow this hairdressers route?Cheers D.P.s. feels like abusing this site for my 'gremlins', but sure does feel good to shed inner thought!
