I have a full head of hair but I'm honestly looking forward to getting a buzz cut once I can grow a full beard. I'm kind of sick of the long hair look and half the time it's super messy because I don't have time to make it look neat. Grow a beard if you're I secure about it op

If you simply ''accept the way you are'', then why do you lift? Shouldn't you be happy with the body you were born with?
Just lol @ thinking anyone is a pussy just for striving to look the best you can.
Why go bald if you don't have to? Why have crooked teeth if you can get braces? Dumb logics.

How good do you think the HT are in turkey vs in the USA?
I want one in the future but since it's such an important surgery, i always have the mindset that i rather save a few years extra and get it done in the usa, than possibly make a huge mistake by getting one in turkey.
But i have no idea how the quality differences are. Also probably depend per surgeon.

legit changes your life and how you are perceived

go to a good derm who has a MD, not take advice of a random miscer.

getting on finasteride is basically your only option to stop it

lots of dermatologists don't really have a clue either to be fair. the one I went to didn't want to prescribe the 5mg (cut pill into 1.25mg) because he thought that the dose needs to be the exact same every time and cutting the pill up would not allow for that. that's a buncha crap.

Because the body I was born with has a range of looks depending on how I use it. It is natural to have muscles if I workout, its my boy's natural adaptation. The side effects of lifting are better heart rate, faster metobolism, stronger bones....If I stop lifting what happens? My body adapts back to my new lifestyle.

Getting an operation or taking hormone manipulating drugs does not translate in the same way. The side effect of a bad HT is living to rest of your life with that embarrassment. If you stop getting surgeries your natural hair will keep getting thinner and the transplant will become more and more obvious. Eventually your hair will likely outgrow your transplants and it will show.

Side effects from propecia are potentially life altering too. No comparison to exercise and fitness.

This isn't about possible side effects though. It's about armies calling people a pussy who try to keep their hair.
That's similar to calling someone a pussy for getting braces. Why not just accept the teeth you were born with?

Also i wouldn't care about being bald at age 50+. I'll shave my hair no problem even after getting a HT.
Being bald in your 20s to 30s however is completely different.

It's not ideal and I wish I had thick NW1 hair but my head shape isn't chit enough that I need to care all that much.

Paying thousands of dollars for likely multiple HTs until I'm satisfied, dealing with months to many months of recovery, and having to take meds the rest of my life = no thanks jeff.

It's hard to compare, but from what I've read the best ones in Turkey seem to be as good if not better than the ones in America, but I am not sure, you should do research on your own. Problem with the guy i went to is they were doing too many people per day, but mine turned out.

I would just tell you to stay in America IMO, but honestly it is really hard to say, it's sad but it's not really standardized at all.

Turkey can be hit and miss in general, I've seen people get really great work in the 3-5k USD range, some people get meh work for the 8-10k range and everything in between.

Where did you go to medical school at? Go to a good derm that deals with men's issues. If they're good it will take a long time to get an appt.

If you decide to shave your head, the following things are an absolute necessity:

1) Low BF
2) Facial hair (full beard preferably)
3) Thick neck

Everyone does.

When I got mine, all the men were saying how good I looked bald, I showed the women there a pic of me with NW2 and they all insta said I looked better with hair lmao.

Men are just pussies when it comes to looksmaxing, muh femininity, yeah nothing more feminine than attracting more women and looking better.

Women are infinitely more self actualized in this realm, there are 16 year old girls with more common sense when it comes to looks than 90% of men.

Because how your body looks often correlates with how much hard work you've put in.

Nothing wrong with not wanting to go bald but to me the earlier you accept your flaws and own your mortality the better. One day life is going wreck us all and then you'll feel daft for ever worrying about the small stuff.
