One of the best part of chromedomerry is the ability, on a hot day, to stick your head under a stream of cold water and be instantly refreshed. Just remember to reapply sunscreen. 
When Patrick Stewart was cast as Captain Picard, someone asked if the future shouldn’t be advanced enough to have a cure for baldness.
The answer was that they were more advanced than that- they no longer cared.
I started using Rogaine after letting my hair loss go for about 5 years. It’s allowed me to keep what hair I have, which is plenty.
So, my answer is about a hundred bucks a year for Rogaine.
Unless it was fairly cheap (like a couple hundred bucks, maybe a thousand at the most), I don’t really care. It would be kind of fun to see what I’d look like with hair again, but I’ve never felt baldness to affect the quality of my life or ability to attract a mate in any way.
As I stated in the other thread, I’ve been using Rogaine and Propecia since my surgical procedure over a year and a half ago, and don’t see any difference at all. After my upcoming final refill for my Propecia prescription, I don’t think I will have it renewed.
I have been forced into baldness (Basic Training, Police Academy) and I normally have hair. I look much better with hair. So I would pay 1,000 Doper Dollars.
There’s a book for everything.
Don’t most hair transplants cost a few thousand dollars? Still, there are plenty of bald men.
I know virtually no women who are in the workforce who let their gray show. And while plenty of people are active into their 80s and 90s, there is a big difference between 40s and 60s in terms of how people see you, whether or not that is fair.
And I agree that many men are not neurotic about being bald. That’s because there are plenty of bald men of all ages. But if the vast, vast majority of young virile men had a full head of hair, I think that would change.
Very few, but I bet if there was no strong association of gray = post retirement age, you would see more.
As advised above, my transplant procedures cost $20,000, so I think information indicating a few thousand should be suspect.
depends. I thought about trying rogaine but it only works on the crown. my frontal thinning hair is more what I’d like to fix. but I don’t think I’d spend more than a few thousand over the course of my life.
proscar pills cut into quarters are less than ten bucks a month. But I’ve never tried it.
$0. I am married almost 20 years. No need to impress anyone any longer. The way some people talk, they make it sound like there is something wrong with baldness. It has not prevented me from doing anything. Each to his own, I guess.
And, what Chief Pendant said.
Nothing wrong with baldness, but the preceding statement is kind of unpleasant.
I don’t really like the implicit assumption many people seem to have that the only reason a guy would want to cure his baldness is to be attractive to other people.
I’d love to not be balding, and it has little to do with how other people think I look. (It’s a factor, yes, but by no means the most important to me.)
$0, I’m 45 and just starting to thin. My longtime girlfriend (who’s in the hair biz) is way more invested in my hair than I am. I keep threatening to buzz but she’s hanging on to my locks for dear life.
Ever look in the rear view mirror and see a guy shaving, while on his way to work? When I worked as a contractor for the Army it was normal to see guys shaving… their head.
Two women I’m friends with let their hair go completely gray. Both are employed. Both are in their 40s. They were sick of coloring their hair, and one was afraid that the dyes were harming her.
Maybe $10. I don’t really care.
I believe Hair transplants are not the answer from what I’ve read and seen, look at soccer star Wayne Rooney now, had hair transplant, look great at start, had photos of him watching Andy Murry win Wimbledon, looks like all transplanted hair is rapidly falling out and he has the money to get the best.
Going bald used to bother me, but I’ve come to realize that being buff is way more important than having hair. At least for the type of woman I’m attracted to.
Just because he may have had the money to get the best, that doesn’t mean he did. It is now 2 years after my second procedure, and my hair is growing normally. Looking at me, you cannot tell I was ever bald, or that I had anything done. Of course everyone’s results may not be similar.
