my brother is a second stage type M at age 23 while i show no signs whatsoever to ever going bald
but we also have different dads so go figure
Zachary Collins
type M is the most bearable
Hunter Price
>20 >type M >second stage
My hairline to my eyebrow is 8 fingers long
Austin King
his hair is probably why he is a skinny fat chain smoker. No compensatory forces pushing him to change.
Cameron Russell
who cares I've spend to much time worrying about this shit, if you have a good jaw (square ish or diamond) get a buzzcut and pluck your eyebrows if they're dark (I'm naturally tanned with thick black eyebrows and black hair), buzzcut is the best decision I've done..
Now if you have no jaw no eyebrows and no facial bone structure your prolly fucked.. sorry man
pic related I have the same eyebrows when plucked and same jaw (mines a little more defined)

>fapping, which boosts DHT makes your hair fall out No.

DHT is good for you.
Have low DHT and your dick can break.
What's more important, your dick or your shitty hair?

i started balding at around age 20, i'm now a second stage type o+m at 26. i shave my head every couple of days. hair is just a hassle. plus i have exceptional beard genetics and look better bald than i ever did with hair. going bald isn't the end of the world. just embrace it
Samuel Young
I drink, fap, and creatine every day.
At 25 I have better hair than most women. Its genetics; you shouldn't reproduce brehs.
Jordan Cruz
26 years old type M here. Somewhere between first and second stage. Gonna get a buzz cut soon for the first time. Problem is my jaw is Meg and I wear glasses. Will I ever make it?
Jordan Sullivan
I fap regularly, breh.
All bodies produce DHT, you sperg.
Ian Richardson
>going bald isn't the end of the world this depends entirely on how you look bald. some people get away with it easily, while others look retarded. getting buff, growing a beard and getting a tan helps a ton, though. if you're a skelly you'll look like you just escaped from auschwitz
Jaxson Lewis
32 here, about 20% grey, head and facial hair. Just started finding grey pubes and chest hair. No hair loss in family though, so it's all good.
Levi Martin
This desu. My grandpa had a full head of hair @ 75 when he died.

Parker Wright
DHT is produced in every single male and makes up about 10-15% of your total testosterone, it's also extremely potent and more powerful than regular testosterone. Regular testosterone is good and all, but it's DHT that specifically controls our sex drive, hair growth, and all aspects that make us man.
Without it you will not only become feminine, you'll begin to lose regular testosterone which will result in muscle loss and fat gain. Increasing estrogen and eventually spiraling down into full blow obesity to go along with your lack of body hair and gyno.
So yes, going bald is genetic.
Juan Adams
Dad started losing his hair at 22. I started at 20. Im 25 now and with fin, minox and ketozole i've managed to keep most of it, Just slight receding on forehead. Brother and cousin were completly bald at 25

You're knowledgeable on the subject.
Is this a good guide for getting testosterone to healthy levels?
My hormones are a bit imbalanced due to a stomach bug which lead to an anxiety episode, things are better than they were but I want to get my homeostasis good.
Jordan Allen
>implying Go ahead and take test conversion blockers than. See you in a few years gyno fag.
Asher Ward
I am taking finasteride
Carter Morris
Gray hair can look awesome
Xavier Ross
As a general rule yes all of that is fine user. Sleep quality > amount of sleep (though how long you sleep is still important). Stress ruins all hormone conversion and hurts blood flow, which can make what free test you have available take longer to circulate through the body. It's comparable to smoking as far as what it does to your circulatory system, just take out the nicotine and free radicals damaging the immune system.
For test production though, anything that increases blood flow is your goal. Being muscular can actually hurt test production if you aren't doing the cardio to support such a body type. Along with proper nutrition, blood flow pushes the nutrients to your testicles (and other glands that control hormone creation/conversion) ensuring they have maximum efficiency. On the other side of things the better your blood flow the less time it takes testosterone to circulate through the blood stream. Your body is always measuring chemicals in your body to determine what needs to be filtered and what needs to be created. So the faster it reaches these chemical marker readers the sooner it can send the signal to create or convert more.
Restricted blood flow to the penis and testicles is the number one cause of low sex drive and testosterone. Fix this first, take time to correct other problems as they come.
Brandon Edwards
>few years ago >was interested in one girl >had mutual female friends >tfw one of her friends told me she would NEVER be with me cus I'm balding (her exact words)
just imagine the feel :'(
Jason Cruz
Cheers man. Good advice.
One of the main symptoms that has remained since I was in anxiety town is having a tired feeling in my dick at times (mainly morning or after a wank), like there's not alot of blood flowing down there, so cardio is definitely a focus now (started c25k today, quite fun).
It's weird how it all works though, I occasionally have a day where I wake up with good wood and get horny as fuck all day, but then it can swing to no morning wood (not even semi) and weak erections.
Kayden Long
>>fapping, which boosts DHT makes your hair fall out >>creatine makes your hair fall out
Way to ruin your whole post OP, because those two are straight bullshit. Also that shit only matters if you're prone to balding anyways. If you're not prone to it then go nuts.
Alexander Martin
>not a single legit source
Why am I not surprised?
Elijah Torres
Everyone in my family has thicc hair
I fap and drink on the daily and my hair is so thick, i get dreadlocks if i let it get past 6 inches (full white, 1/8th italian is the darkest genes i have)
It actually sucks because i cant grow long hair without looking like an unshowered hippie

Nope, all genetic
Joseph Phillips
call me a bullshitter here, but i think it might be some sort of evolutionary thing
like, if you really want long hair during your growth phase, you're not as prone to balding, but if you don't give a shit then your body doesn't give a shit either and just discards the whole thing
i have nothing to back this up with of course, it's just a thought
Carson Miller
i never gave a shit about my hair and started buzz cutting my hair at like 14 years old
still do
so if your theory is true, im an exception
oh and also im hairy as fuck, we're talking back, chest, everything, gorilla mode

Dylan Butler
i'm saying i do have nice hair, i just choose to buzz cut it to very short
oh and while we're on this topic, since DHT apparently increases body hair, is there any correlation between being fat and DHT?
rarely do i see gorilla mode dyels, but i do see a lot of fat people with loads of bodyhair, myself included. was 6ft3, 320lb at one point
Jordan Reed
When does masturbation become harmful? Is it a problem if I masturbate every day?
Owen Peterson
Not really tho. I'm 20. I Fap almost everyday and I drink every 3 days or so. And everytime I go to my hairdresser she's astounded by how dense my hair is. >It's all genetics bruh
Aiden Brown
This isn't how evolution works f'am
Leo Powell
I wouldn't think so; I've seen plenty of hairy skellies -- but I suppose eating little won't give the body much energy for test production.
Being fat on the other hand gives nutrients for test production but leads to high estrogen and lower test
Nathaniel Hernandez
My derm was really trying to give me a prescription, but I just opted out for minoxidil
If it doesn't work, i'll wait till it gets worse and then just buzz it and see if I qualify for a transplant/graft in the future. being a manlet and a hairlet is a death sentence.
here's a flash pic since the last picture was ass
Kek
Joseph Adams
>consume 1-3 hard alcohol beverage per week
That's barely anything even if it was a woman on her first night drinking. Your hair doesn't start falling out from alcohol until you're drinking 6+ drinks every night.
Sebastian Roberts
I wouldn't trust that shit either, I've read of a few guys getting bad sides
With those pharm drugs you're taking a gamble
You could end up with anxiety, depression, and low testosterone and still have shitty hair
Cooper Evans
the sides for minoxidil seem considerably worse than the dick crushing concoction that is fin. I barely started minoxidil 4 days ago, so i'm still still expecting sides
Ryan Torres
sides for minox seem considerably better

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of Veeky Forums are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

Isaac Morgan
pretty normal way of balding, i'm 31 and have the same shit
best anyone can hope for is to have all their hair through the 20's
in the 30's women have so much of their own shit to deal with that having a full head of hear isn't critical anymore

Hey at least if you are a tall fag you are not going to shrink. Hairlets on other hand can count their days because when it comes they will wish they never talked shit about baldness.
Ian Rogers
DHT controls all hair growth in men and women. Low or no hair growth is genetics or low dht. For most women it's just low dht, they barely produce any. Much like men still have a basic level of estrogen needed to function.
In men DHT is usually baseline, we almost always have the same percentage of our testosterone become DHT. No matter what our testosterone level is. So hair is more often genetic.
Adrian Peterson
if you have a receeding hairline as a baby, you'll get it again as an adult
this is a FACT
James Fisher
If it was all genetics how come you don't go bald when everyone else in your family is?
Benjamin Gonzalez
10/10, almost felt a little bit of shame.
Tyler Jones
Because he got the perfect combination of recessive genes from both parents, which let him have a full head of thick, good quality hair.
Joshua Hill
Can you guys post pics of hair and facial hair? I just turned 31 and am finding a few gray hairs on my chin. I seriously think it's from a rocky relationship i had with this gurl this spring.
Women are the ultimate gains goblins i sware on me mum
Ayden Foster
Sorry I never responded, I didn't see your post. Just so you're aware when you start doing cardio it will look like your dick is shriveling up. Your body when under cardiovascular stress reduces blood flow to your fingers/toes/penis/testicles and a few other body parts. So don't freak out if your feet go numb on a run or if you try to take a piss and your dick looks white or pinkish. This is part of the process. You can fix this after doing cardio (or even weightlifting) by stretching the groin and legs. Namely laying down on your back and lifting one knee to your chest, wrap your arm under the knee to hold it there and with your free arm massage across your buttocks to your gooch. Gently massage around the testicles and groin. Repeat with other leg, this stimulates blood flow again.
It takes a few weeks to notice cardiovascular gains. Much like weightlifting you have many processes that are happening. You have arteries opening up, repairing damage as they dilate. Plaque and excess fat are being filtered out, your blood pressure drops and your heart is having to readjust the way it pumps. Your body also has to create more red blood cells so you shouldn't eat at a calorie deficit (watching macros specifically). A month in you should see noticeable gains in your erection strength. Your penis head should stay a redder tint and when you do achieve an erection it should be noticeably thicker (length doesn't change much). If you still have erectile issues after, you may have a testosterone def or possibly neurological issues.
ED is divided into Function and Form(performance) Function is the actual ability to gain an erection, if you still get morning wood this is unlikely the cause of your ED. Injuries and diseases/deficiencies fall into this. Form is the ability to perform under stress or due to some neurological problem such as not being able to feel the pleasure, so no response is reaching your brain to stimulate erection.
Benjamin Hill
don't let this shit bother you I went on this board 4 years ago when I started balding and it made me feel like shit because Veeky Forums is full of insecure people
it's genetic, do what you can maybe do rogaine and get on with your life. don't go on Veeky Forums anymore. I didn't try with girls for like 2 years because I was insecure about my balding and now I bang 20 year olds like it's nothing because I just don't give a shit anymore

Yeah but I'm 5'6 and balding, not a lanklet like you

I'm noticing hair loss, but it's around my ears and sideburns. Nowhere in the graph shows mine. I've been really stressed lately, stopped going to the gym and scratch around that area a lot.

Aiden Morris
>drank, fapped, and ate fast food every day for two and a half years (from 20-23) >got 3-5 hours of light sleep every night for 6 months of that >went from an NW1 to and NW3 with crown thinning
Even now that I'm getting proper sleep, eating right, and drinking less, my hair is still falling out, just much more slowly (8 hairs when combing vs. 30+ before). I haven't regrown anything, and my hairline's receded somewhat. I accept that it's largely genetics, but I wish I knew that lifestyle could trigger it prematurely before I went fucking stupid with things.

Actually, no. People who get married early oft stay together longer and have healthier and more well adjusted kids then people who get married later.
People who claim otherwise honestly are believing in a fiction constructed to extend childhood and create weaker marriages.

>>tfw prematurely greying in my 20s Greying doesn't mean that much in terms of balding. I've had a few grey strands since like middle school and I still have all my hair (I'm in my 30's). Same with other men in the family. My 90 year old gramps still has quite a bit of hair and the dude is crypt keeper mode.
Ryder Morris
>Acthuadjelleee Good luck trying to prove that, divorce rates are higher in couples that get married before 25 and highest if you have a kid also during this time frame.
Financial strain is the leading cause of divorce, as it afflicts all aspects of the family unit. Waiting for yourself and your significant other to be in a position where you're still both reasonably young, but much better off financially to start a life and family is the goal. >hints 25-30
Regardless 50% of all children will see their families break up, something along the lines of 30% of those children will see a parents second marriage break up.
Your mother is probably sucking off 40 year old Chad right now while your dad sleeps for work. Sorry kid, your parents are getting divorced this year. 16 is going to be a bad year for you.

The only reason I'm waiting until 26+ to get married is to be older and look for women to settle down. I'm 21, the only reason to rush to to make sure I'm not a balding fuck. I don't even want to know what I look like bald. No fucking way, I need my fuccboi haircut
