But I've heard if you're an unlucky 1% the side effects are permanent, even if you stop the drug when they occur

honestly try a combination of dermarolling, scalp massages daily for 20 minutes and some natural oils like castor oils. i went off dut/min for a few weeks and at the very least I'm still seeing a little regrowth. might work for you. but maybe it's too early.

get a really nice dermaroller though with longer needles that are wider. concentrate on massaging a part of your head each day. srs. assess after 6 months.

I think it's 1% of people who exerpience sides in general. If you stop the sides will go, and then for an unlucky few sides will be permanent. However, you have to remember being bald also has the side effect of zero attention from women.

There are also hair systems as a last resort

Going bald is fine, as long as you aren't thin as ****.

It is simple really -
Bald + Jacked = Fine
Bald + Skinny = Everyone thinks you have cancer.

100% of the women thought this way.

On a similar topic, being fat was not a disqualifying factor for any of them so killing yourself in the gym is really not something they think is that great.

Confidence and eye contact were the main things they all desired.
Yeah bro, girls love fat bald guys

DHT is useless after puberty.

DHT gives you hair where you don't want it.

DHT takes away hair where you want it.

DHT promotes acne.

Finasteride works just fine for me, nearly 10 years, no sides, all benefits.

Suck my weiner, pal.

I believe him. I also used to work with women and the topic would come up and every one of them agreed that smaller penors is something they like, "the big ones hurt" they all said.

believe it or not but there's women out there that are attracted to a man irrelevant to the size of his bank account, penis, or muscles.

You can say that generally females who are more superficial are attracted to that though, so it just depends on the girl's personality and the culture she stems from.

Like i said before in this thread im bald and 6'2 240-250 lbs at 20% bf and plenty of attractive 18-21 year old girls are attracted to me, yet when I was 21-22 and 10-12% bodyfat and had plenty of female attention it meant nothing due to my insecurities.

Looking good helps, but you have to have the 'inner confidence' to match, if you have both you'll out mog every one - but it's rare to have both, since most normal, confident men don't take the measures required to physically mog people to begin with, it's mostly insecure guys overcompensating by using steroids, fat burners, strict diets and melanotan to 'stand out' and feel in control.

But if you can have both, you'll mog HARD.

But confidence > looks as long as you're not disfigured.

The hardest part of being bald with a beard is trying to figure out the best beard style for your face/head shape. And you have to maintain it or you look just like a bum. I'm still trying to figure it out.
