I'm slowly losing the battle with my hair loss, I'm like 11 months in with 1mg finasteride/daily (I've only missed like 3 days total) and I just looked in the mirror.... to my horror even though finasteride has delayed my hair loss to this point my temples have receded yet another half inch. I didn't notice this due to being a bit busy all week but it seems to have happened rather suddenly, in a 2/3 day period which scares the hell out of me...
If this keeps up I'm effing screwed by 27 or so. My head is a bit rectangular so I look like crap with a widows peak and my hairline looks sort of like a -v- shape... It's crazy because my hairline was actually looking really good until this point. I don't know what the reason is, I have been a bit depressed lately and haven't left the house in weeks unless I had too.
And yeah, I do date around once in a while and every time I get comments about my hairline and getting told "I think your losing your hair" from girls, friends, and family members and it pisses me off! Most of my uncles still have full heads of hair as well as all of my cousins save one.
It just makes me want to sell everything I have and spend it all on alcohol and become homeless in all honesty.
In some ways I regret shaving my head because when I had long hair I could cover it up when wearing a hat but the wind always screwed me over. My head shape is like with a larger forehead and more hair

Obviously none of the women I've been able to pick up are above 4/10 looking like that, I look sort of rapey. And even the 4/10 girls don't always call me back even if we had a good date and all of them comment on my hair.

Well, I guess I have to come to terms with looking like a rapist and having an ugly wife in the future with kids that will probably inherit my hair loss and go through the same problems, I guess I could save money for a hair loss fund for them instead of a college fund so they don't try to kill themselves.
My dad certainly hasn't been supportive at all for me, he always talks crap and tells me that his hair looked way better than mine (and still does) and brags about the hot women he had and shows me pictures. My mom also comments regularly and feels sorry for me, she tries to hook me up constantly with girls but to no avail.
The only ones that ever call me back weigh 70+ more pounds than me or are unattractive (or both). Enough about dating...
I met another guy my age (24) at a chinese buffet who had similar hair loss to mine and his girlfriend was obese, I chatted with him while his gf was absent and told him how bad my lifes gotten since hair loss and he showed me pictures on his phone of him with attractive girls and he had decent hair in them.
I have gotten to the point where I've just given up really, I've stopped keeping up with friends, increased my drinking,almost quit eating, and just mope around the house all day. I've done nothing of note for a week now and have given up trying to find a job. If I could I'd just wither away somewhere, maybe even get lost in a foreign country and never find my way back.
