Lol, nice job forgetting to mention the most important one: Getting a future wife, which OP will likely never have the pleasure of experiencing. What's the point of living if you can't experience the touch of a woman ?
No sh*t, but in the absence of hair and top notch aesthetics, what is it that you think attracts good quality women and potential wives to men? ... A good job and good career and a secure future...
When I met my long term partner at University, I sold her the idea I was going places, hard working, ambitious and motivated, do you honestly think any decently atrractive "potential wife" is ever going to be interested in a guy's who's long term plan is to work dead end minimum wage jobs and feel sorry for himself because of lack of hair??? Delusional.
It's a million times more powerful than any amount of muscles or money or education.
I agree, that's why he should worry about "muscles" and women later down the line and right now, concentrate instead on getting a career and a job which will make him legit high status and genuinely desirable and attractive to women, if women are still a problem then, he will have the finances to go hard on the hair transplants or hair pieces, so either way it's win-win... "Common Sense" Theory really when you think about it, not hard....
Let's not forget that baldness will still f*ck up his chance with potential employers. Got a 25 year-old with a lush thick head of hair, and then another 25 year-old who looks like he's 50 years-old. Which one do you think the employer is going to choose to represent his company ?
If he's applying for sales, marketing, fashion or some other bs wishywashy field like that, then of course, like everyone else who's not a 7+/10 he's screwed, but all other professional fields will hire almost purely on your skills and experience, as long as he grooms himself properly and doesn't come across as a socially inept retard at interview stage, then the resume will do 98% of the work for itself!..... Just look at the massive proportion of nw5+ guys on the boards at these big multinational firms ffs. How did they get so far with their premature baldness??? Superior skills, qualifications and related work experience perhaps... "Common Sense" Theory again my friend...
The only reason I haven't blown my brains out is because I still have a glimpse of hope that a cure is possible within the next few years. No f*cking way I'm going to spend the rest of my life like this.
Well I suggest you do everybody here a favour and cap yourself now because a potential cure ain't f**king coming anytime soon my friend and to pin all your life hopes on such an event is laughable and quite sad really. It's always "just around the corner" "only 5 years away" but 20 years later, Finasteride aka "penis poison" is still the most proven and advanced treatment we have.
Lets get this straight here I'm a 100% realist and pragmatist when it comes to living and dealing with a lifetime of male pattern baldness, the best and only thing you can do is improve your finances as much as possible long term with a good career, in order to make the best of the treatments and solutions we currently have, e.g. meds, hair transplants, hair pieces, smp etc.. and any future treatment that MIGHT, in the the very unlikely event, be discovered.
No one on this forum is forced to live their whole life as as slick nw5+ bald man if they don't want to, we ALL still have options available to us, yes they might not give us a real full head of hair that we can stroke with our hands and have orgasms about, but they will give us the "aesthetic" difference and in society and the big, mean real world, the aesthetic difference is all that f**king matters.
I don't for example, get the stigma here about nw7 guys, too far gone for a hair transplant, wearing hair pieces...You wear a wig? So what? As long as it "looks" like hair to 90% of oblvious non-male pattern baldness suffering people out ther, that is literally all that matters, hairloss depression 90% solved!
Being outed by less than 10% of people Vs Being ridiculed and looked permanently down upon like a 2nd class citizen by 100% of people.... Hmmm, I know which I'd prefer. "Common Sense" Theory ftw!
