That's weird, because women these days seem to really love dogs. There's a stereotype about women loving cats (which do not normally have a strong body smell at all), but these days women seem to greatly prefer dogs over cats. I think it has something to do with the fact that dogs require far more maintenance than cats, so they basically act as surrogate children. Cats are independent and don't need to be bathed (you…
I meant that a specific strong body smell in men has been shown to be attractive to a lot of women, it doesn’t specifically smell like dog, but the study also showed that men dislike this odour – unless it’s exactly theirs ;) hence me calling it “dog smell”, but it’s inaccurate.

Be careful though. It's found to probably cause suicidal thoughts to some people (myself included).
How do you know it's from fin? And are you sure it was caused directly and not from another side effect? Eg sexual disfunction.
Could be unlinked, but for me it just wasn't worth the risk.
You can find various articles of you search the web for this btw.

Oh sorry, I misread that and thought you meant that women don't want strong-smelling men. I'm rather surprised it's actually the opposite.

#214Minoxidil is the only thing that ever "worked" for me, but I got tired of the routine very quickly and it wasn't nearly as effective as desired. The real cure is to stop worrying about it and to buzz off whatever remaining hair. You will look and feel 10x better than if you try to patchwork your way through it. Think about the end game - hair loss is probably only going to escalate over time. This is an uphill battle…
> The real cure is to stop worrying about it and to buzz off whatever remaining hair That's the Hobson's choice we're left with.
A Hobson's choice is a free choice in which only one thing is actually offered. The term is often used to describe an illusion that multiple choices are available

#215A cure for baldness is one of those holy grail drugs like a drug to treat obesity, or a drug to de-age your skin. The profit on this is potentially vast and Im assuming the 10 year patent limit wont apply to it.
It’s worth mentioning that we actually did get the holy grail drugs for treating obesity - Ozempic and it’s generic versions…
- Semaglutide - Tirzepatide - Liraglutide - Exenatide - Danuglipron
Those are just some.
And like others noted, it's not an absolute miracle (there are side effects, it's hard to get right now, somewhat contentious) but it's definitely miraculous in effects so far.

lonely […], no life and no social prospects Let’s say there’s a magical pill that gives you amazing hair. You’ll still be a lonely IT guy with no life and no social prospects. I don’t mean to offend you, but don’t you think that you could work on these things for guaranteed massive benefits instead of hoping for a pill that might work somewhat? Whenever I hear people this desperate about their hair loss I notice how…
>Let’s say there’s a magical pill that gives you amazing hair. You’ll still be a lonely IT guy with no life and no social prospects. >I don’t mean to offend you, but don’t you think that you could work on these things for guaranteed massive benefits Let's look at an extreme example: suppose there's a lonely IT guy who looks like Quasimodo or worse. Someone that unattractive is not likely to have a great social life o…
which if he's correct, would probably improve his life to some extent.
I would tell him to work on himself physically, mentally, and socially. Just like I said in my previous post: even if you give a loser good hair, he will still be a loser. I don’t think his life would improve at all.
He may get some fake self-confidence (take away the hair and the confidence is gone again). But women would not find him attractive because of the hair but because of the confidence, but they’d snuff out that it’s fake very quickly. He can have confidence without hair as well, and have the same benefits. In fact bald men exhume vast amounts of confidence for saying “fuck it, I don’t care, I will shave it”. Meanwhile balding men look like they can’t come to terms with what’s gone being gone, desperately holding on to the last sickly strands of hair because they think that’s their ticket to getting a partner. Even women who make bald jokes will find a man sexy and manly for reacting to it confidently.
You speak about baldness as if it was some festering disease that’s always negative, but it’s not. Physical attractiveness is based on looking healthy. If you’re Quasimodo: fat or scrawny, have no muscle and a zombie face (no energy), a woman might ask herself how a cancer patient is going to have a healthy baby with her and provide for the family. But if you have some muscle, some tan and look rested, they will assume it’s natural.
And like there are hairstyles some people can or can’t pull off, a bald head or buzzcut are the same. Some people genuinely look the best without hair, because of their head shape. I don’t think The Rock would take a hair pill, because he looked silly with hair. And even if you look bad without hair, it will always beat the balding look by far.
What I mean by psychological issue is that it’s rather evident that the parent loves to focus on things he can’t control rather than what he can. This a common pattern. People will blame their erectile dysfunction on age, genes, and microplastics, rather than not doing any exercise at all since they became adults, stress, bad sleep and garbage nutrition So they take a pill, have surgery or buy devices like pumps to fix the problem, like we also see for balding.

Show me someone 55 or older with a successful stack and lush head full of hair that isn't due to genetics. Musk is one of the richest men in the world and he's had multiple transplants, yet is thinning aggressively again.
Is he on dutasteride?

As someone who started to loose his hair in the mid 20s and thinning until I buzzed it in my mid 30s. I will say that being bald sucks especially considering meeting people, sexual attraction and possibly your own perception of yourself. Having said that I don't think about it at all normally, but I'm not gonna pretend it doesn't matter. Loads of people take the 'high road' and say it doesn't matter but having hair i…
Yea ppl saying "just accept it" don't know how much of a challenge it is to be bald. I started blading in my teens and considering getting hair transplant in my 40s since balding has mostly stabilized in the last decade. I am tired of being bald.
Re: Cure for male pattern baldness given boost by sugar discovery
#220I hope there's a cure for hair loss but it's too late for me. My doctor doesn't want to prescribe me finasteride or deuteroxide because of the negative health side effects, even though I was persistent. I was told by my doctor to "come to terms with it" because he's bald. Guess what, you're a doctor buddy, you'll be attractive to anybody you talk to. I'm just a lonely IT guy with no life and no social prospects, so a…
You know you don't have to let yourself be gatekept by a doctor, right?
