Baldness can destroy a man's life

[CaptFinnBad]

An article saying Baldness can destroy a man’s life. Allegedly:

Donald Trump, ex-President, worth $2,300,000,000 US dollars, was unhappy about his appearance and taking hair loss drug, finasteride.
Rafael Nadal, #1 athlete in world, worth $450,000,000 US dollars, was unhappy about his appearance and did hair transplants.
Tom Brady, #1 athlete in the world, worth $512,000,000 US dollars, is rumoured to have hair transplant surgery

DR MAX THE MIND DOCTOR: Going bald can destroy a man's life

Going bald is bound up with a loss of virility and masculinity in a way that the menopause is often linked to a loss of femininity for women.

Medical doctor: “I have seen many men who have become clinically depressed as a result of starting to lose their hair, and several have tried to kill themselves because it made them so low and desperate”

Personally, I’ve never seen an article saying men are low and desperate because they don’t know how to “dress well” or how to “have fun with girls and let things flow naturally.”

Thoughts?

Shaved my head a good couple of years ago.

It bothered my for ****ing years, even when I had a decent full set of thick hair.

Weird a hell because when I shaved it. I loved it. Don't think I look any better, probably the same as I did with hair.

Personal preference though. I prefer it shaved.

If you are in good shape and can grow a decent beard it's a non issue.

I wouldn't touch that stuff. The side effects can be very serious and can persist even if you stop using it. Not worth it for something cosmetic

What are the side effects?

The Last place I would take professional advice from on any finasteride side effects would be on an ophthalmologists site.

As a counter argument,iv used Fin for years with zero issues. Finisteride side effects are overstated,any and all medicine`s can have side effects for the unlucky few,thats just how medicine is. a few of my mates have used it also without going blind,dropping dead,or not able to gain wood. OK,so a sample of me and a few friends proves nothing,but its been cleared worldwide as effective and safe by the regulators who deal with such things...you only ever hear about,as with most things,the cases who suffer reactions to it,not the many satisfied users..thats life I guess

In general you should never take lifelong medications for cosmetic problems, IMO. Not a wise choice for your long term health.
