I've never met a new mother of a newborn who said, "boy, I can't wait to get back to the office." Is there a small percentage of women who are happier building a career than fulfilling a biological imperative shaped by millions of years of evolution? Sure, but most women - like 80%< - would love to simply raise children if only society would let them.
Nail, meet hammer.
Studies have repeatedly shown that the least-happy demographic are middle-aged women who have professional careers but no children.
Similarly, men stuffing their lives with video games and one-night stands has failed to make them happy.
Suicide rates, particularly for white men, are at the highest levels since the second world war.
Becoming a lawyer or going MGTOW and completing every quest in Witcher 3 3x over has failed to improve the lives of us in the way that having a family and human interaction always has.
That is my reason, silly as it might sound, for wanting to restore what I've lost of my hair.
If I'd been smarter in my early 20s, I'd have settled down with my first girlfriend. I always had this "oh, there'll be another". And there was, but then when I started losing hair (and fast) and it had done enough damage to my appearance (you don't need to lose that much honestly) by the time I got on finasteride that it ruined confidence I had. I've tried to get back into dating these last couple years, with some successes, but no women I'd want as a wife. If I'd met my first girlfriend with the hairline I have now, I doubt she'd have gone out with me. Already, meeting new people, they peg me as older than I am. In the span of a couple years, I went from people thinking I was 14 to thinking I'm 40.
Now, it's obvious that if I have a family (something I never wanted before) it will be in my 30s. Which is not ideal for a whole host of reasons, but this means I'll need a younger woman; especially if you want multiple, healthy children.
and while it's true young women aren't generally opposed to older men, they typically like older men who LOOK like younger men. Then there is just peace of mind.
It's people like me and misguided hedonists whom Shiseido and the like appeals to. So the idea that the japanese government is banking on this kind of thing for any reason aside from the hope it will attract more in the field of regenerative medicine for more lucrative endeavors is nothing more than HairLossTalk.com once again overestimating how much of a sh*t anyone but people like us gives about this tech.
