Physical Attractiveness, Same-Sex Stimuli, and Male Venture Capitalists’ Financial Risk-Taking

Having hair improves social interactions and treatment by others, with hair transplants and finasteride enhancing confidence and attractiveness. People often receive more positive attention after addressing hair loss.

A user shared progress pictures after 3 months of using finasteride, minoxidil, and a derma stamp, showing 2.5 weeks of hair growth. They reported no side effects and take 1 mg of finasteride daily.

Finasteride use resulted in increased hair growth but reduced libido for some, leading users to consider topical versions to lessen side effects. Opinions varied on the trade-off between hair benefits and sexual side effects.

Some men have strong balding genetics that treatments like Dutasteride, Minoxidil, or Finasteride may not fully address. Early intervention is believed to help, but many accept hair loss without treatment.

A bodybuilder's hair transplant appears unnatural with a straight hairline and low density, possibly worsened by not using finasteride. The Turkish clinic is criticized for poor design, and the transplant may have been free for promotion.

A user convinced their 45-year-old dad to use minoxidil and finasteride, resulting in significant hair regrowth. The dad now uses 1mg of finasteride daily and topical minoxidil twice a day, and has also started using 1% ketoconazole shampoo.
