Spending untold thousands on pills and creams for the rest of your life is a waste of time and money. If you stop, any gains are lost, and nature wins.
If you wear a hairpiece, everyone can tell. EVERYONE. You are the same as females who wear girdles to strap in their fat rolls and stuff their bras. In denial, uncomfortable with yourself, and announcing it to the world.
Transplants are expensive, and if they turn out good, great. But if they turn out bad, you are SOL. Just as obvious as hairpieces. Look at Stan Lee.
If a woman dismisses you because you are bald, she isn't worth your time anyway. Being comfortable and confident about yourself will attract worthy females. Fake hair, obvious cover-ups, and trying to be something you are not has no long-term sustainability. You will eventually be exposed.
Yes, our culture is obsessed with appearance and superficiality. But in the future we will all be hairless anyway. Evolution is heading in that direction, so baldies are just ahead of the curve.
Even if they do cure baldness, the underlying insecurity and enslavement to the meaningless opinions of others will remain. A strong man "owns" who he is, everyone else be damned.
