You're probably right, as i haven't read a whole lot. I got lucky enough to realize early that people who get too hooked on reading end up even worse off than before. It's clear to everyone that the reason people get involved in the community is because they're not getting laid. However, what isn't clear is the reason for THAT. That reason is, quite simply, because they're great at reading, discussing and arguing, but completely incapable of getting themselves to continually, consistently ACT. This mindset is the polar opposite of the "naturals," who you don't see in the community because they have no need to learn how to pick up chicks. The reason for that is, naturally, because they do very little talking and a whole lot of DOING. Realizing all this, i decided to be extremely selective about what i read (to this day, i can name no more than 6 people who's advice i'd follow), and spend 90%+ of my time acting. Anyway, all that being said; i've been out of the game since mid-summer, since i've finally found myself a girlfriend. We're falling in love with eachother and its hella sweet
Best of luck to ya. My advice: listen to Woodhaven.

Shaving's absolutely out of the question, guys. Chicks may think it's sexy, but my business associates probably won't appreciate it. I sent in a couple of photos of my head to one of the clinics, and am expecting them to get back to me with a quote in the next couple of days. I'll probably go ahead with the procedure in February.

The true brilliance of the community does not stem from getting laid. It comes from understanding human behaviour.

What's the point of doing it when you're old? At 60, hair is the least of your problems.

What about when the hair where you didn't get the transplants starts falling out? Oh man you'll have like a reverse mullet by the time you're 30.

thank you mom and dad for moving to Latvia b4 I was born!
these facts and d1abolic's posts scare me! sometimes I doubt i'm russian...
Large number of shaved heads has a different reason my friend! |
?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
ummmmmm ok
The Russian Latvians have it great
..........
Niveole your from Burlington right. Go to Park Lawn, Lakeshore, Larose, or even North York. The prodominately Russian communities. Most of the people will have shaved heads, not because they dont care about themselves, or because they are all fascists, far from that. Its just that there are more important things that a MAN should concentrate on.
btw I do have hair, an inch or two... But its still short.
Theres nothing wrong with long hair... Just "na lyubitelya"..
As concerning whether your Russian or not... In your situation, its for you to decide...

Male pattern baldness does NOT mean you'll go bald!

Not true - back hair, ass hair and ear hair are big problems at that age.

Before spending any money on a transplant, give heed my suggestion above.

Script only.
Finasteride was originally prescribed for men who had prostate problems. They found that men who took the drug (for prostate purposes) experienced a reduction and cessation of hair loss and in some cases regrowth. Typical prescription for prostate issues is 5 to 10 mg / day. Finasteride marketed for the prostate is called Proscar.
Upon the discovery of it's actions in blocking DHT from receptors within the hair follicle (causing the follicle to die) - the researchers (looking for ways to extend their patent of course) determined that a dosage of 1 mg / day was sufficient to achieve the desired hair "protection" effects (finasteride binds the to DHT receptor instead of DHT allowing the follicle to thrive). Finasteride marketed for hair loss is called Propecia.
If you have prescription drug coverage at work - they will not cover Procecia as it is considered "cosmetic" and not medically necessary. At last check a Propecia regimen costs over $70 / month (full cost).
There is a way around having to pay full cost however. Ask your doctor to prescribe Proscar - which all drug coverage plans will pay for. The smallest dose of Proscar is prescribed is 5 mg - so you will need to buy a pill cutter and cut the pill into quarters (1.25 mg each). The extra 0.25 mg / day will not cause any unwanted effects. Since Proscar is covered by drug plans - you'll have to check to see what the cost is (each drug coverage plan has different co-pay or %-pay options - but paying a $2 co-pay or 20%-of-cost-pay is better than the $70 / month).

I think im gunna be losing my hair in the next few years.
The Japanese should stop creating realistic looking robots (which are obviously made to become sex bots for nerdy loser guys who cant get real woman) & focus there attention on more important matters!
Like:
- How to stop losing hair on ur head when older (and figure out why it keeps growing on ur ass)
- a pill to make us 100% sober (when intoxicated or high on drugs)
- a tree which actaully grows money on it
- create a cellphone/mp3/video camera/Swiss Army Knife/XM radio which is actaully good (and an added vibrator feature for the ladies.. or men, if ur into that kinda thing)
- a device which increases my pheromones to make me irresistible to the opposite sex
You know, shit like that. Please feel free to add more.
