Is it just me? So many NW1's on this forum

[Tyler_Durden]

Firstly, SurprisedGuy what's the heck is wrong with you?? If you wouldn't mind explaining, what does it matter if I'm a hundred years old with a NW7 or twelve years old with a NW1? I honestly don't see how it relates to the original issue? You asked me the same thing twice as well. Why? You saw that this thread was already deviating from it's original destination, and you insisted on hastening it's derailment by repeating an irrelevant question. You can act confused all you want, the fact of the matter is, repeating your question was unnecessary.

Secondly, GeminiX please.. You're the first person who started calling people "Troll" and "Dick", read through all my posts, the worst I managed was "Dad". I may be a new member, but I'm certainly not new to the world of male pattern baldness and the lengths some will go to prevent it. I've been reading this forum for a while now and never really felt the urge to join, but I felt I had to speak up against these misinformed members encouraging NW1's to get on finasteride ASAP. It is, in my opinion, utterly inexcusable.

You can make all the accusations you want, in a desperate attempt to make every thread about yourself, that's your choice. I'm here to help, not to add my 2 cents to threads that don't concern me, or to spam threads with pictures of Kanye and Pandas f*cking.

In response to your claim:

"If he has a genuine concern, I'm sure he has the intelligence to know the polite way to get his opinions across instead of the bombastic approach he's taken here."

Here's my original post (before you attempted to hijack this thread with your ridiculous accusations and shenanigans):

Has anyone else noticed there's a WHOLE BUNCH of paranoid NW1's on this forum, concerned about their 'hairloss' wanting advice on 'what to do next' and instead of members saying "mate, you're a NW1, don't even worry about it" or whatever, they're suggesting he start the big 3... Surely I'm not the only one to pick up on this?

Wow I'm really "laying down the law" there huh?

Let me get this straight, in your mind, I'm a NW1 who has absolutely no experience with finasteride or minoxidil or any other types of miracle hair regrowth procedures, who joined this forum solely to troll and rock the boat with my completely harmless thread entitled "Has anyone else noticed? So many NW1's here" Ok well, if that makes sense in your head, then that's fine.

Whatever the case may be, I still believe the original purpose of this thread should be addressed. There are mods on here who seem to do nothing when obvious errors in judgment are being made all the time which could possibly see a perfectly normal NW1 individual unnecessarily jump on the finasteride bandwagon for life. I've had people on here tell me things like "hey relax it's just the internet", that couldn't be further from the truth. This isn't just the internet. These are actual human beings, taking your advice - in real life! Young men who, in many instances, are clueless about what they're potentially getting themselves into. My one and only motive for starting this thread was to shed some light on this issue which, from my perspective at least, was running rampant on these boards.
Some of you have even said things like "Oh there's just as many threads on here that disprove your claims" Which is great! BUT realistically, the consequences of deciding to not get on finasteride too soon, are tremendously outweighed by the consequences of taking finasteride for a NW1 hairline. The worst that can happen by holding off before you start finasteride is that you may lose a few more strands of hair, on the flip side however, jumping on finasteride impulsively without first understanding it's effect on the body and it's side effects can be catastrophic.

I just don't think a desperate, impressionable, naive kid in his late teens or early 20's, who believes he's balding because his mother's brother's cousin went bald at 80, is going to fully appreciate the nature of what physiological changes must first take place in the human body in order to regrow something as seemingly insignificant as a follicle of hair.

That's honestly the only reason I felt the need to start this thread.

pointless

Anyone wanna play WOW :hairy:

ps the mods on this forum are like..., sh*t.

 

[Hate2LoseIt]

correct me if i'm wrong, but linking umad jpegs is a little immature and should be on some online gaming forum full of keyboard warriors? grow up, i myself are new to this forum and in my opinion newbies dont wanna see childish sh*t like that, especially when they're looking for help with their problems

imagine if by chance this is the first thread a new user looks at

 

[ifonly]

that speaks volumes, take care

 

[PileOn]

And there are plenty of threads that show the opposite. It's not that I don't believe you, I just wanted to show that users on this forum don't copy&paste "Big 3" whenever someone comes on here thinking they have male pattern baldness when in fact they do not or at least not yet.

I'm guessing you've joined to tell NW1s that they have nothing to worry about. If that's the case, carry on.

My earlier statement couldn't have been more true. It's too bad you couldn't comprehend it, OP. Instead, you wanted me to partake in a pointless exercise. Just to make it clear, you can touch my nerve anytime. :gay: waitwut...

NW1s are frequently told to 'hop on finasteride' on this forum.

It's completely f****ing stupid but there's no stopping it.

This forum (and society in general) has changed greatly in the past few years. Years ago, when a NW1 came onto this site, he was told the truth about his hair and to stay off propecia because he doesn't need it. But these days it's the other way around.
I also got boo-ed off the site recently for daring to tell someone that he has no hairloss and to stay off propecia.

But like I said, society has changed. We seem to have a"miracle" pill for everything these days. Whether it be for misbehaving children, obesity, mood swings, hairloss....... and don't worry about the side effects, we have pills for them too.

That's not true. Most of the "nw1" people told to get on propecia are not NW1s, they are diffusing, receding NW1s. They do need propecia.

You obviously can't tell the difference between a stable hairline and one that is receding.

Neither can you. Unless you have photos of this guys hairline going back 5 years, then as far as you're concerned he may have been born with this hairline.

I was born with a NW2. Always had high peaks. But no amount of propecia will turn me into a Norwood -12.

then you could produce photos of a non-thinning NW2 hairline. That's fine. That's why I specifically said a "stable hairline" and one that is receding. Obviously, you didn't read my post thoroughly and knee-jerk reacted to it. There are movie stars out there with thick Nw3 who aren't receding at all. I wouldn't advise them to get on propecia either.

 

[Nashville Hairline]

Lots of NW1s and 2s on here and I have no problem with that, its the ones among them who talk about their life having no meaning anymore cos they've lost a miniscule amount from the hairline that drive me nuts.

My worst feeling ever on this forum has been the guy with more hair than I had 8 years ago saying this is it and he wants to die. Is this what people really think about hair? Made me feel awful. Now I just feel sorry for these sad, sad b-stards.

Im still an Norwood 1 but have experienced thinning and slight recession, my derm ran a test and informed me im in earliest phase of male pattern baldness. So I came to this network, yes ppl harass me because I have nice hair, but really they're just pissed that their lazy asses didnt do anything until way later in the game. Now their bald, and prob cant score any pussy so they hate on those who are in the very earliest phase of male pattern baldness.

Im on this network because I hear that treatments work best if hairloss is in the very early stage, so the earlier the better. I wanna maintain my Norwood 1 however long I can, so im on treatment because I hear treatment works best at maintaining what u got.

But as for me, I could care less about another mans hairloss severity. yes I will give him my input. But Im not gonna get mad about it whether hes bald or has an Norwood 0 because we're all here to provide help, not to bust other peoples balls because their hair line or progression bothers them

Here is the thing. The person losing the hair knows a lot more then anyone else can see or guess at. My dermatologist said a person needs to lose 50 percent of the density before he could notice so pictures might not even show a problem until half your hair is missing.
