There is no cure for balding because there is no cure for aging.

People with baldness induced through sexual excesses can reverse theirs with cessation of sexual activity. Most won't though. It's harder to quit or even reduce than drugs.

No one has to be bald in the 21st century as long as you do all these three things you can look just like Musk. The only reason not to do this is if you have some kind of health issue so you can't take dutasteride and minoxidil like Trump has.

Because it's nearly completely irrelevant how you look. on /sci/ you should realize this.

Intellectual persuits don't get hampered by the amount of hair on your head. And if you see the dating scene you see that there is no correlation by being an intellectual baldy or intellectual hairy and being able to score women since in the intellectual spheres the relationships get mostly decided on how matching your personalities and perspective on life and career are.

If you are college aged then I realize that it might look like that but that's not the actual reality of the situation in the adult world.

Why focus on something like that. You could name a lot of things that makes you potentially inferior to other people yet you tend to focus on baldness. You are probably poorer, smaller, less fit than the chads at the party as well. Yet you don't focus on those traits because you don't give a shit because it's always been that way. However your hair is something you lose and so you put more thought into it.

Just get over it dude it doesn't really fucking matter. Go out and still go partying the biggest determinator of you fucking girls is not your appearance, wealth or even personality. It's exposure to women. Meet more women and you will smash more that's how this works.

I'm bald and married my nigger. I'm a 5/10 bald dude while my wife is at least a 7/10. Yet we match incredibly well and live life like best friends.

You aren't going to meet a woman with which you can have such a good connection by sitting inside being sad about hair falling out. I know the early 20s are an age of anxiety and when the mid-twenties depression comes kicking in. But get a grip on reality my dude. Go outside some more and expose yourself to more people. 4chan doesn't have a view on society that is even close to how it really is. People here are miserable because they spend all their time focusing on the negatives and isolating themselves from society. Making up all kinds of hypothesis of female behavior and how relationship dynamics work. Instead of actually going out there and doing some field based experimentation themselves.

Life is fucking great, but you have to make it that way for it to be so. Go outside and expose yourself to it or stay inside and wallow in depression and made up downsides and adversaries. Your decision.
