"Every day I take finasteride I am grateful of what it has done for me. When I was in my early 20's and really started to notice how bad my hair loss was never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I'd ever experience having hair again. Now here I am today just south of 40 years old and I can say confidently that my hair looks better today than it ever has in my adult life. When I first sought out help everywhere I would go people would tell the same cliched one liners... "Just shave it bro!" "Try the faux hawk style!" "Being bald is more attractive!" However I noticed a common trait amongst these individuals. They were bald themselves so I was able to easily deduce that they wanted me to go bald not for my sake, but for theirs. The more people who could join them in their misery, the easier it would be for them to convince themselves of their own biases. I know had I followed that path I would be doing everything I could to seek re-assurance. I would be on the bald-acceptance forums and channels trying to find whatever sort of solace I could in other people's success and maybe I would even be able to find some degree of acceptance; Deep down though I know a part of me would always feel lament over a piece of my identity being gone forever. I am proud to say in all the years I have fought the male pattern baldness gene I regret nothing, other than perhaps not starting treatment sooner."
