Any pics of the recent shed? How has your hair been looking lately?

This shed is probably the result of the all the newly grown hairs reaching the end of growing cycle all at one time. Ride it out and keep us updated.

Your neck lines look like the tide rolling in. But, yeah, go away.

Judging by your double chin, I doubt you a have a "good muscular bod".

How tall are your parents? Mine are only 5'7" and 5'4" so I was actually somewhat relieved to get to 5'8 1/2 on the dot.

Life sucks. Trust me, I know. But once things start working out for you, and they will, you'll enjoy and appreciate it even more. Height is not something to get hung up about. I know a lot of short guys who do very well with girls. The one thing they have in common is that they all wear...

I've seen this mentioned before on but have never even remotely seen any evidence to back this up.

My God, can we lay off of Jude Law for a while. He confidently displays his hair loss, and we bash and berate him. If he got a hair transplant, then we'd be saying how insecure he was. The poor guy can seriously not win. He's a good looking guy, and, even if you he lost a ton more hair, he's...

Ha. This really isn't relevant at all. However, I still think hair loss is a way to absorb more Vitamin D via sunlight. Say what you will, but I always notice that blonde guys of Northern European heritage tend to have high rates of male pattern baldness.

I don't think so. IGF-1 didn't increase in some of the people on propecia, which undoubtedly lowered DHT levels by bout 80%. I doubt there is a correlation between IGF-1 and DHT. Propecia probably increases IGF-1 via another pathway. MisterE, Stop posting contradictory studies on milk...

Funny you should mention this. John Entine in his book "Taboo" (a sports book) references studies that show African Americans do in fact have denser bones than whites. This is potentially why there have been no significant African American olympic swimmers.

Exactly...Here is an excerpt from either that study or one similar. Results: IGF-1 was up-regulated by finasteride treatment in 4 of 9 patients. Among the patients with increased IGF-1 expression, 3 of them showed moderate clinical improvement after 12 months of treatment and another patient...
