TIL what the word misandry means…
from the way i’m interpreting this meme, it’s mocking the people that do actually think like this. ofc there’s a whole life waiting for you whether you have mpb or not, but some ppl are superficial as hell and go “it’s so over” as soon as there’s a sign of baldness

most people enjoy a bit of good-natured slagging and don’t immediately resort to moral outrage
I mean, it’s just hair. We’re certainly not vain and superficial enough to let that “ruin our lives”, right?
I have a widows peak and I get mad compliments on my hair. It’s only over when it’s over, buddy.
I didn’t know what a widows peak was so I googled it and figured out that’s just what you call that type of hairline in english.
Personally I really like the german word for it which is “Geheimratsecken”. It literally translates to “secret council corners”.
Germans have the best words.
entire industries exist simply because of it. lol
The Vegeta hairline hit me at 25 so I just buzzed it all off… I never lived life at all lol
look up pp405

Alternatively, you can just decide not to give that much of a fuck about losing hair.
I would be fine if I was losing hair symmetrically, but I’m only losing hair on the left side so is pisses me off a lot.
That sucks fr
Part it the other way ;)
Yea that’s me rn. It hasn’t hit me yet (at least not noticably) but when it does I’m just embracing it. I know there’s medication/treatment but between cost and potential side effects (as someone who already struggles with mental health the possibility of Post Finasteride Syndrome scares the shit out of me) it’s not worth it.
Plus I have a personal aversion to the idea of clinging on to youth or denying aging. Nothing against people trying to look how they want to but I’m embracing aging, it feels so much less stressful than the alternative
What’s Post Finasteride Syndrome?? Just curious.
CW: suicide

Some men experience side effects like reduced/absent libido, depression, and other negative mental health effects. I don’t know how rare they are but to me it’s not worth the risk just for my own vanity. Sure the pharma companies deny it’s a thing but they have a clear profit motive so I don’t trust a damn word they say
Oh, Jesus. That’s terrifying to read.
Nothing wrong with a little male pattern baldness. Disrespectfully OP, you are wrong.
I can’t go bald if I shave my head every morning
The secret to immortality right there
Every morning? What do you use?
I dont actually
I do it every other day with an electric and it take about 10 min… If I forget then it takes about an hour because its to long for the electric.
I’m ugly with hair, losing it won’t make me that much uglier.
eh you probably look fine. imo very few people are actually “ugly”
So about ⅙ of people are ugly if that adjective means ‘one standard deviation below’.

Estrogen is the answer to this problem :3
I started taking pills for it a few years ago. It was ridiculously easy to do. I did it online, it auto-renews, and it’s an easy chewable I take every morning.
I think a lot of guys have the impression that hair treatments are bullshit, because for a while there they were. But the new shit works, at least for me.
No side effects or downsides for me. My hairline is just paused, even rewound a little bit.
This the stuff where 2% of users lose their boners, then 2% of that 2% don’t get them back once they stop taking it? Nah I’ll take the chrome dome.
Which med is that?
Everyone’s risk tolerance is different, but a 99.96% chance that I would not experience irreversible side effects feels like pretty good odds
Do you think maybe there’s some kind of demographical overlap between people who take hair pills and people who were going to lose their boners anyway?
the pills are just zinc
When I see people complaining about losing their hair to male pattern baldness I’m thinking “just take finasteride” or “why don’t you just take finasteride” or “just block the DHT this isn’t some inevitable thing and that’d probably help so why don’t you just do that?” But I’m not a testosterone enjoyer so I lack their perspective on things
It’s not that simple for some men, but for some other men it’s exactly that simple. I’m sure I’m a little lucky, but it was such an easy decision for me with no downside.
Have you noticed a loss on libido? My understanding is that those pills reduce testosterone, which can reduce libido and everything else t does for men.
Definitely not. My libido is as high as it ever was (which is fairly high).

Ok, but I’m not lying.
Do you think I’m advertising or something? What would be my motivation for lying?
I don’t know anything about you or these pills but typically one would tell a “lie” like that as part of their overall campaign to cope. The point isn’t to deceive others but to bulwark a worldview that emotionally benefits the person to hold in some way (ie, “I was smart to take these pills, wasn’t taken advantage of at all”)
Ok, well, no need for me to cope with anything. I’m not being taken advantage of. It’s been working for six years.
It also kept tigers away for six years! Personal anecdotes are not meaningful when it comes to something like medical efficacy.
See, the simple fact that you’re telling me those things when clearly I don’t give a single fuck tends to suggest the contrary, but of course it’s not conclusive and again, I don’t give enough fucks to actually find out.
👍
At some point in their life most men have to make the greatest decision in their life… Keep their hair or keep their erection. I’ve started shaving my head!
Please explain
There’s a certain drug that prevents baldness but reduces your testosterone
He couldn’t get his dick up while looking in the mirror I guess.
Male pattern baldness has something to do with testosterone I think? Like, ppl w/ more testosterone tend to lose more hair or summat
Man, my only regret about shaving my head was that I didn’t do it 15 years sooner!

My genetics 🧬 are making sure 👍 that I won’t get bald
Top-shelf zaza disrupted my circadian rhythm!
Got any more of those Sequoia banshee boogers?
