wait for effect propecia or take the dunk
« on: March 21, 2009, 11:07:14 PM »
Posted this message under "miscellaneaous" where i used to chitchat about our weather or not to accept fate. Sean25 and SLYinKc advised me to put it in a new thread. So i did.

"Hi Guys,

I have been off this forum for a while and instead of taking your advise a did the opposite. I took propecia and still do. I've been using it for some times and i do not see any reaults as of yet, but i hope it will bring some results. Maybe i am too impatient and should wait for some more months, but maybe i am fighting an uphill battle. Fed up with this fate.

One of my bald buddies noticed and told me i should shave and i made a bet with him. If 30 different members of this forum vote: "Bald" within two weeks from now, i will shave it all off and stop taking propecia for at least 10 months. But if less than 15 vote "Bald" i get to keep my hair and can take propecia as much if i want and He cannot shave his head for two months (which will look   :D ).

Let us have ur votes plz.

Cheers Dave (and Tom)
"

Dude, we'll make sure 30 vote if I have to threaten to ban them.  I don't want to see you keep making the mistake of taking propecia.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Putting ridiculously dangerous chemicals into your body for the rest of your life (you do realize that you need to keep taking it, right?) is what should be making you nervous!

It's my understanding that Propecia doesn't cause re-growth for most people who take it.  Rather it just helps to keep you where you are at.  There is no guarantee, it is expensive, and you still must keep buying other expensive products, such as shampoos and styling agents for the rest of your life. 

The fact that you face this decision, and that you are leaving your fate in the hands of strangers on a sly website, makes me think that you want to shave, but that you just need some backup. 

Well, your backup is here. 

Head to the local grocery or "apotheke" and get a good razor and some shaving gel or oil.

Get the razor...do the deed...and enjoy the SLY lifestyle. You'll be glad you did that instead of injesting chemicals the rest of your life that could cause God only knows what side effects.
Our country demands all our strength, all our energies. To resist the powerful combination now forming against us will require every man at his place. If victorious we will have everything to hope for in the future. If defeated, nothing will be left for us to live for.

Feel a strong sentiment against propecia here. Don't want to start a discussion here but i haven't had any side effects, maybe that it why it doesn't feel like chemicals. if i ever do, i would quit immediately off course.

There's a good reason why bootedbear put those words in bold. Also, it's truly liberating to shave your head (a good reason I put those letters in bold). SHAVE IT.

Also, think of all the $$$ you'll save. That's good, but the confidence you'll gain by shaving it........PRICELESSO:O


 5t*mp

So, you shaved it yet?


Agonizing over what cannot be is an insult to what is.
