Well...I'm almost there....I'm going to post a pic if I can figure out how to do it!
Quote from: dave523 on May 04, 2010, 09:39:00 PMi have been here before, trying to find a solution. Still not giving in. Now my hair situation has developed into recess of my hairline as to where an island of hair might form in the middle of my (fornt) head. Also the crown is thinning fast since a couple of months. Question: what treatment can i still try (tried finasteride, and every hair growth shampoo out there). If i don't get something quick, the front and crown might meet. Normally i have very thick and full hair (used to).Need something or am i destined to becoming a genuinely bald guy. Really still not for me imho!Truly sorry that you have used drugs & hope that nothing adverse to your general health develops in the near or distant future. Also, regret that you've been unable to accept the fact of mpb--but guys who can't fund a multi-billion dollar market for drugs, rugs and surgeries. I hope that as you mature you'll realize your only choices are to accept the appearance of a balding man, horseshoe & all or can accept the fact, move beyond it and get control of your life. You're wasting time, money and no small amount of your engery worrying about something that cannot change, that isn't a defect or disease. But it can be tough, I think most of the guys here have been in front of that mirror where you are now, felt the pang of a change that was not in many cases welcome. I also think that at some point you will embrace the life you have been provided, realize it's only hair, and that the hair time of your journey of life is over. Good luck, God bless.

Wow powerfull post. Especially the second to last sentence came on strong! No one ever told me the hair time of my journey was over. You're a pretty harsh dude.
You're a pretty harsh dude. Next month i am going to NYC, looking to find a career there. On the one hand it would be great to start over again there, on the other hand it would feel awkward to start over there as a baldy.

You think I'm harsh, and you're coming to NYC to look for a job That's good, try stand up comedy--then put on your real battle gear for the job hunt! You are totally out of touch as you will soon find out.
I used to feel self-conscious about being the only bald guy in a group; now I feel like I'm privileged. That feeling didn't happen overnight; it takes a lot of positive thinking and knowing that you've done everything you can to improve the aspects of your appearance that are within your control. Once you've done all of that, hair doesn't seem that important anymore.
Today is day one for me. I was on the fence....and now I know I shouldn't have stayed there.Do it.
