Any scientific basis to the first claim?
Finasteride was first developed as a prostate inflammation treatment. In testing, they discovered that some of the balding test subjects grew some hair back, so they saw a bigger market in it as a hair-loss drug.
So if something that fucks up your testosterone production gives you your hair back, would it be safe to assume that testosterone was the cause of your baldness patterns?
Yes, probably.
Only flaw in that is that there cant be an EXCESS of testosterone. It would be like saying that a Tijuana Donkey has too much cock, thats the whole point of it.
Question here is, whats more important to you? hair, or testosterone?
Hair was important to me too. I used to get complimented on it all the time, even by random people. Hadnt had that happen in years. I was thinking about getting Finasteride, down here in Mexico you can buy it over the counter for cheap. So I did my research and found out that a few men have this side effect.
Ok, only a small percentage of them report side effects. But, whats the percentage of men taking it that are so lame, so fat, so pussified blue pilled slobs to notice any, ANY change in their testosterone levels?
Surely is more than the "1 to 2%" of Finasteride takers that have reported loss of libido, strength, or more.
Coincidentally, this student of mine began taking it, so I told him of my findings and asked him to keep me updated. This guy is a legitimate rockstar, has long, thick caveman hair, exercises regularly, and had regular gigs as a recording artist. A year went by and he said that there where no side effects that he could notice.
But I did. In that year he broke up with his 3 live-in bisexual girls. He complained about the pettiest things where he used to be stoic as fuck. He got depressed and frustrated over things like a girl not returning his calls. He started struggling to get bars to let him play for tip money (from recording with international artists a year before) He was sporting a beer belly when I met him for coffee, where he was a fit freak that rode his bicycle everywhere in the city.
Finasteride did that to him? Would be hard to tell. Would be too much to say it did. But he went from alpha to beta chump with a year.
About my own hair, my hairline is slowly but steadily receeding. Last year for Halloween I shaved my head. It was something I had been thinking of doing for a while, Halloween gave me an excuse, and I figured that if anything, I would have my hair back by december.
I shaved my head, got a pair of glasses and a green shirt and went as Walter White.
I fucked a 20 y.o. college girl that same night. Hardly any effort involved. I met another girl that night whom I started sleeping with a couple weeks ago.
So that night I learned that hair, like money, like looks, are irrelevant.
Game trumps it all.
And testosterone is tightly related to game. It provides the boost, the focus, the motivation. And I wouldnt change that for all the hair in the world.
