Hi, I'm Andy.
« on: May 10, 2012, 05:24:19 AM »
What's going on? I'm 22 with a receding hairline and rocking a #1, that's that. I stumbled across the forum and had to join, I'm not troubled by my hair loss issues, I've successfully gotten over it over the past few years (thinning since 17). It sucked at first... I got best hair in highschool and am ironically the first out of my class (only 180 graduating kids) to go bald  :*)) At first, I hated the idea of having to run into my high school friends and watch them laugh about it... Especially since I was very successful with the ladies back then. So I just started working hard at life so when that 10 year reunion comes up, my hair will be the last think they think about.

I'm about to graduate college with a degree in graphic design. I also produce, compose and record music. This forum appeared as an awesome networking opportunity so don't hesitate to leave a comment. Also, I was thinking about redoing the logo for this place, what do you think?

Welcome!

Your comment about succeeding in life, rather than succeeding in...hair...is great.  Everything starts to come together with the proper perspective.  Thanks for joining and introducing yourself.  Stick around.

Welcome Andy. Big thumbs up on making the decision to control your balding. It shows confidence and it's good to see that from a younger guy.
As far as the logo, I agree with Mike,  you can't come in and just make changes. Hang out a while and get to know all of us. Maybe then you can make some suggestions and show us some of your work or ideas.
Stick around, enjoy the forum.

Thanks for the warm welcome! And apologies regarding the logo, I definitely did not intend to make that first impression  :XX

Thanks dudes!

I thought it could be cool to also introduce myself with a little image timeline that simply shows how much I've changed over the years. When I first started dealing with hair loss, it was rough.. especially at such a young age. I'd look back at old facebook pictures and compare the (old better me with hair) to the (new getting worse balding guy) I was trying to fight off. Putting all of these images together helped me stop fixating on the negative things and see it all. I'm not sure if there is a thread on here like this already, but it definitely helped me.

Also, I apologize for my goofy faces, I was never very photogenic  :px
