LOL dude it took me years to figure this out but when somebody makes fun of your appearance they are actually just doing it to make them selves feel better because you have internal issues.

Happy people don't really LOL @ anybody, and your retort to that may be something of the lines of, "most people are not happy", which whilst true is an error in critical thinking.

Yes, I am happy, and people can feel it - it's called charisma.

I'm like that happy little bald dude who pulls all the girls that people talk about.

Women don't care about it that much, at least the ones who you find you sexually attractive.

As soon as they see my big strong, shiny head, they be like, "oh daddy", and they submit to me, and I take care of them - as in, they KNOW I will and can take care of them.

Charisma is all.

You don't go to the gym or whatever to get rid of mental illness, you get rid of the mental illness then go to the gym so see those real lifestyle improvement.

Does that makes sense?

Like like atm I am 225 6'2 at maybe 15% body fat, and I don't feel that big, but to everybody else, I am big.

Then the mental illness or spiritual disease manifests as you sort of noticing stuff because the area 'glows' and is exaggerated in size - if that makes sense?

Like you never think you're good enough is the name of the game, and it manifests some weird stuff and people into your life.

If it works for you without sides that's great, but not my experience at all.

You’re telling me that if you never lost a single hair on your head, you’d shave it bald?

since starting fin I got some recovery back on my temples and my pace of hair loss was halted.

after 1 yr i started microdosing fin, started using min daily, still have the new hairs on the temples I can only imagine im getting the same effect, more or less. if those fell out I would experiment back @ regular dosage to see if it helps but im happy so far.

using dermastamp to rejuvenate more regrowth as an alternative to PRP.. worst case scenario I fly to Turkey for a HT for a few thousand not the end of the world most importantly my dink works when I need it. not interested in giving up as I approach my prime srs

fin doesnt eliminate all DHT, its like 70% or something. depend on dose though i think that might be at 5mg not 1mg

dursterine is supposed to eliminate almost all DHT


also they have topical fin and they have RU which acts as a topical DHT suppressor. Some will get into your blood stream but a small amount.

I did. I was using a 0 guard when I was 20 and didn't start to lose my hair until I was 26 or 27. I probably wouldn't have started razor shaving it if I still had it all and it would be nice to only have to worry about shaving it once every 2 or 3 weeks with clippers instead of every 2 or 3 days with a razor but it's not that big of a deal, for me at least

lmao at people who listen to retards online rather than looking at scientific studies
In order to evaluate the direct effect of 5ARIs on sexual life, investigators studied erectile function in patients taking these drugs. Cunningham and Hirshkowitz (1995) designed a sleep-related erection study, with the aim of measuring erectile function objectively during double-blind administration of finasteride or placebo. Their purpose was to find the answer to the question, “Does finasteride impair erectile function?” Sleep-related erection studies provide objective measures of erection physiology and pathophysiology. Naturally occurring, spontaneous episodes of nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) occur with consistent regularity during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in all sexually potent men.Twenty healthy, sexually active men were randomized to receive either placebo or 5 mg/day finasteride for 12 weeks according to a double-blind study design. Erection physiology was assessed by a polysomnography device. The investigators found that finasteride did not consistently suppress sleep-related erections compared with placebo (Cunningham and Hirshkowitz, 1995). They explained the most likely reason that finasteride did not impair erectile function was that it did not sufficiently inhibit 5 α-reductase activity in critical areas of the brain.They acknowledged that DHT involvement in the maintenance of libido and potency is not excluded.
The effect of androgens on the physiology of the penis has been a topic of discussion for many years. In 1974, Imperato-McGinley and colleagues (1974) discovered an auto****l recessive form of incomplete male pseudohermaphroditism, which was shown to result from 5 α-reductase deficiency.This disorder, also known as pseudovaginal perineoscrotal hypospadias, or type 2 familial male pseudohermaphroditism, is characterized by a 46,XY karyotype, ambiguity of the external genitalia (female phenotype at birth), and virilization at puberty. During fetal development, the decrease in DHT results in incomplete masculinization of the external genitalia. Later in puberty, affected individuals develop a muscular male habitus with growth of the phallus and scrotum, and their voices change into adulthood. In adulthood, they have decreased body hair, a scant to absent beard, no temporal hair line recession, and a small prostate.However, subjects have normal erections and ejaculations and a libido directed towards females(Imperato-McGinley et al, 1974).
In this review, we summarized the effect of 5ARIs with respect to erectile function. It is likely that androgens are vital for the development, maintenance and function of penile tissue and regulation of erectile physiology. However, the critical androgenic substance for these effects is most likely T rather than DHT.

A lot of balding cucks taking fina want to cope and believe DHT is not important.

But in reality it is.

No rationalizing here, choice was clear: You can either have hair or a fully functional dick.

Easy choice there.
How long were you on it? I was on it for like 2 or 3 years but I started cutting the tablets in half and then take it every other day, the first thing I noticed was tender nipples, and then after a while my skin got softer and less body hair and beard growth, my hair stayed thick but then I got depression and insomnia, the first couple of weeks though I had gotten horny then my libido dropped after a few months thats when it got scary. So I quit, the messed up part is ive been off it for years and my erections still suffer and I stopped getting morning wood.

Scalp Massage supposedly works I watched a video from some Japan study where they massaged their scalp 15 minutes a day morning and night aggressively while watching TV and hair grew back.

How do you know it's out of your system? did you do any bloodwork? sounds like your dht is still suppressed which is not surprising considering how long duta's half-life is. Its metabolites possibly even longer.
Due to the long half-life of dutasteride, serum concentrations remain detectable (greater than 0.1 ng/mL) for up to 4 to 6 months after discontinuation of treatment
The reason dink is 50% most likely has to do with decreased nitric oxide in penile tissue. DHT was shown to play some role in rats at least. You got another 3 months to go. And then it's not going to be an instant switch but your dht should build back up over time. You gonna be aight.

You can also try an experiment based on papers like this, where you megadose creatine for more DHT if you don't give a f about hair and just want to get back to normal sooner
