I cannot believe that I am 18 years old and my hairline has receeded this much! My maternal grandfather was bald but my father (although thinned out considerably) is still a Norwood 2. This is just so inconvienient because I am sort of like an alpha male and because of this I am very selective who I am attracted to. But this is ruining my confidence. Even if guys are thick NW1s they still need to put in energy to get girls and compete for the girls. I recently broke up with my girlfriend (it has nothing to do with hair - she caught me with someone else) and I am in love with this girl. Sure I will try every attempt to get her but everyday I see hairs on my pillow and just now a hair fell in my f*****g dinner! Eventually I will go on the big three and add a topical dht blocker and a lasercomb but this sites negativity has really deterred me - I mean you get loads of people saying finasteride has destroyed their hair and some people even post pics showing it. ARRR! I want a thick Norwood 1 - hurry up stupid f*****g Intercytex - I am attracted to girls around the ages of 15 - 18 and there is no way - seriously no way trust me .. that they would want a Norwood 7. I am rapidly approaching Norwood 2.
