I'm interested in knowing where you're getting these numbers. Words like "maybe" and "believe" sure don't instill confidence in your assessment either. But all your points are still moot given your original argument.

And there are millions of men balding in the world with only a small fraction doing anything about it. I guess that explains it all regarding the viability of any hair loss solution, if we're going to take the stance that the minority on any issue is always wrong simply because they are, in...

Yup, I noticed it a few months ago. Slight recession in the temples and early thinning in the frontal hairline. I guess I'm not the only one who's over-obsessive in noticing these things.

Stewart's receding, but he's doing really well for a guy his age. Don't think he's at a point where has to worry about it.

That looks like it's beyond a mature hairline. Your crown looks perfect, doesn't look like you have any balding back there, but you're definitely receded pretty bad in the temples and your hairline is thinning . Personally I don't like propecia and I don't think it's worth the risk of sides in...

And every time they mention a hair transplant, it's "hair plugs." Point being, why would you go ask a group of women for hair loss advice?

That's the biggest BS ever!!! You are saying, just because a man thinks of a girl as a long term thing, she's supposed to open her legs and shut up? What century do you live in? I'm not as old as The Dude, but I have been around the block a few times. If she finds out you were pretending to...

Hey look man, I am 40 years old. I have had male pattern baldness since I was 17 years old. I have had 3 hair transplants. I have been around in the "hairloss" community for about a decade. How old are you? Let me guess, you're another one of these "20somethings" who knows everything there is to know about...

DUDE! A girl who leaves a guy because she finds out he has a rug, is a normal female. IMO, Almost ANY woman is going to do just that - LEAVE a guy who is wearing a rug! Why? Because it shows MAJOR INSECURITY! NEWSFLASH TO YOU (The Rake): WOMEN ARE NOT ATTRACTED TO GUYS THAT HAVE MAJOR...

If a girl leaves you because you wear a hair piece, I think it's pretty safe to say she didn't care much about you to begin with it. Not enough to be in a relationship, anyway. And yeah, I'm not gonna say there's no embarrassment if people find out that you're wearing a hair piece. And that...

No wonder you're so ignorant on the matter. You can't even properly research my own posts in this topic, let alone the internet. And your logic is the equivalent of me saying "Every single person in Boston is a jerk! I once knew these 2 guys from Boston and they were both assholes!" NEWSFLASH...

It's the same with hair transplant's though. I don't see how a guy can complain about being bald but at the same time refusing to do something about it because he's afraid what everyone that he knows might think if he actually does get an hair transplant, hair system, etc. It's a choice you have to make. Do you want to...

A reasonable rug costs thousands per year. There's a reason not to. Wrong. If you go to a quality hair piece company a good hairpiece only costs around $200. You're gonna need to exchange it every 3 months or so (this becomes longer as you get better at it) and then there's the cost of...

Rake, you didn't read my post very closely. I read that "rugs" never look realistic. That's wrong. That they're overpriced. Also wrong. Pain in the *** to maintain. Don't have the experience to comment, but from talking with others and researching it myself and also using a little a common...

So, in other words, you buy into the social stigma that all hair systems are "rugs" that look like crap and can't look realistic. Sort of sounds like the social stigma that surrounds rogaine, hair transplants (AKA hair plugs in the real world), and hairloss treatments in general. Kind of ironic...
