Do you tell your girlfriend you're on propecia?

[jayC99]

Or do you keep it a secret? Even if she lives with you, should you come clean or try to hide it. I mean, is she really going to want to stay with a guy who has male pattern baldness and will eventually be bald? If I was in her shoes I know I wouldn't.

Discuss.

When I was 19 I wouldn't dare let a soul know about propecia. These days (I'm 23 now), I'll openly talk about it. People don't believe it I'm losing my hair, but certain hair styling can do wonders!

I am 19 and wont tell a soul ( except for my imediate family).... maybe once I got a serious girl friend, I would let her know.

Right on the dot!

Was with a girl for nearly 2 years and when she confronted me one day about it when it slipped i was taking this pill... i told her it was for a sinus problem i had. From then on... thats what she thought... but she never knew what it was for. i also never openly take it infront of her though...

Wouldn't tell anyone. Only my immediate family knows.

 

[gonna_win]

Only I know about it. As for telling a girlfriend, it would have to depend on the girl, trustworthy, a good person or just a good f***?

 

[Chris Johnson]

I haven't told anyone.

 

[HairyPotter]

I havent told my girlfriend about, nor do I plan on doing so... I havent even told my family about it.

I plan on telling my future wife though, if Im still taking it by the time Im married (Dont plan on marrying til Im in my 30's)

 

[Luckyfrank]

I have nothing to hide...

 

[VWdude]

I don't think it will shock my girlfriend or anything, she's very understanding and supportive. Even though I havent told her yet, I believe that she won't think of me any different.

I hide it from my girlfriend. I don´t like the image of a self-comcious guy who is taking meds for his hair.


I hide it from my family. I don´t want my mommy telling me every day "you´r f*****g your health just for your hair" or my daddy "why you so stupid? Why are you taking snake oils for hair? don´t you know there´s nothing to do with baldness?"


I hide it from my friends. I don´t like the idea of being the centre of countless jokes about pills, hair and homosexuality. Even some of them have serious norwoods running in their heads.


But I feel Ok about it. I think treatment it´s the most clever option if you´r worried about it. And I know my girlfriend, my family and my friends prefer me with hair.

I don't say anything to anybody because I don't care to bring up my personal care habbits... just like I wouldn't bring up what type of toothpaste I use.

I don't hear anybody talking about their heart medication or their weight loss pills, so I treat Propecia the same way... it's not important to bring up, simply because it's not important to anybody but myself.

However, if somebody makes a statement such as "Your hair is thinning", then I do say something like, "Yeah it will grow back though, I take Propecia." .. something of that nature.

Either way, I don't share my personal medical information with anybody, unless they ask... which is rare.

 

[j25]

Haven't told a single soul, but sometimes i feel tempted to tell a friend who's hair is thinning with a whispering voice: 'Hey man, there's something out there that actually works..'
Always changed my mind, though.

I don't go out of my way to tell people, but I don't hide it Gunner-style. I leave my bottlles of Minoxidil lying in plain view in my bathroom; housemates must have noticed but have never said anything

 

[Stokes]

I live with 2 other flatmates, I leave my propecia and minoxidil lying around for anyone to see. I don't really care. I wouldn't make a big deal of it, I doubt she is going to care, you are trying to improve the way you look she will love it.

I don't hide it, I just don't tell anyone and if they ask then I say what it is, and then they just say, really you don't need to be on that or something kind like that. I have told my ex girlfriend about it and she was fine with it. She was even fine when I had my front tooth out and looked like a pirate for a while haha.

Go hard man no-one cares except yourself.....

my mates give me sh*t, but if you can't laugh at yourself then you truley have problems.

If she asks about it tell her, don't make it a big deal, she prob doesn't even know what it is.

 

[amrod]

omg

only my parents and a few internet friends know about it

although people know im self conscious about my hair because i wild out whenever someone asks me to take my hat off or tries to flip it off

my hairloss has caused huge problems with me and my girlfriend - for example i refuse to let her stay over and i had to explain i was self conscious about my hairline but i woudlnt actually tell her im going bald and on medication

its f*****g hard work - i even keep a hat on when im having sex

I have told my two dogs :shock: but they just wagged their tails :roll:
