    JayB's Story

    I think the first step would be to get a little perspective of the situation. How on earth can you be in the"worst postion"? You've stated yourself most people don't think you are balding. Would being a NW7 be a better postion to start from? Alot of posters have very signifigant loss at...

    JayB's Story

    Well I'd guess you probably have male pattern baldness, as has been said many times on this site, you are always the first to know when you are losing your hair. Propecia / minoxidil / Nizoral are possible treatments. Personally I find that the shorter my hair is, the less I think about any loss etc. A...

    anyone else completely obsessed?

    I'm not saying to scrap you jeans, and t-shirt. But just make sure you are wearing a clean / flattering / in-style / and property fit pair of jeans and T-Shirt. The ladies are not impressed by a t-shirt or jersey of you favourite football team, even it is the great Minnesota Vikings...

    Here's how you do the shaved look:

    I think most of regulars did end up losing their hair in their early 20's, at least Joey and Snake definitely did. That was show was classic Canadiana. But the best show to ever come out of Canada is "Trailer Park Boys".

    Here's how you do the shaved look:

    Does anyone remember the TV show "The Commish"? It starred Michael Chiklis. Here's how he looked in that show: He now stars in The Shield: He shaved his head, and hit the Gym. I'd say he lost 40 lbs of fat and gained 10 of muscle. He looks 5 years younger than he did 5...

    Keep up with the workout rountine! Perhaps bike riding/stationary is possibly with your leg injury. I'll bet near 100% of women are more interested in a 6' 190lb bald man, then a fat 6' 270lb man with perfect hair. I imagine you feel alot healthier, more energetic now that you've...

    Re: Lid's Scary Story and an observation If you ever see Kramer with his hair down, or wet, you'll notice he has a considerable on his crown. Of course I never noticed it at all until I start detecting my own loss.

    Well, I’ve just been humiliated/abused at work by my boss.

    Minoxidil without Propecia

    Forever is a long time, Propecia hasn't been on the market for long enough for anyone to real know. The 5-year propecia tests were quite positve, and I think there are a few posters on the site who have been on Propecia since 97.
