The vain line is to get you to close on the deal. This guy is a closer (demonstrated by your plunking down th deposit).

Yeah I’m having second thoughts after talking to family and introspection. I guess my hair loss right now isn’t that bad. I may just take a little minoxidil or whatever and see how that goes. Bottom line I think is that it’s natural for many guys to lose hair as they get older, etc. just need to be confortable on the inside, which most of the time I am. 10k really is a lot of money- I can add it to my son’s college account instead. F&ck that idea.
Why does this thread not have PIC’S yet! Wait you put down a deposit and now you have been talked out of it so quick?

F&ck that idea. I like the 529 idea, but just slow down. You need to shop and buy this on the merits of the product. Research this thoroughly - maybe it’s right and maybe not. If you can cancel the deposit I’d do that (stop pay the check or dispute or just talk to the dude or whatever). But you need to roll slow and figure out what it’s worth to you - that’s a tough decision. You need to really be 100% when you make a move, in my opinion… Only vain guys purchase hair transplants without being 100% committed to it 
OK, if you lose the money, so what, but what’s more important is actually that if you succumb to the treatment it may damage your skin for good… if you have some quack to do the treatment. Does anybody else see the problem at all? Since you talk about your son you obviously have a gf already, I bet she didn’t choose you because of your thick mop of hair of yours, but rather took one look at your dad and decided to go for it anyway although she by taking that one look knows what is to come later on…
The Dr. is supposedly one of the best worldwide…Impeccable credentials/experience/results. Not worried about the deposit, as it’s refundable up until a few weeks before the surgery. What I’m most concerned with is the fact that the hair I have already can still fall out unless I take propecia or something forever, and I don’t want to be taking a drug which basically interferes with testicular plumping or anything else for that matter. I ordered the minoxidil, which is topical, and acts in a totally different way than the propecia, and doesn’t readilly absorb into the blood, so I can see how that goes. Shaving my head isn’t really an as I am suseptible to eczema and also the back of my head is a little flat The main reason I’m contemplating this (and yes I know I do keep going back and forth which imo is all normal and part of the debate one should have) is because baldness to me makes me feel older than I am. As someone who is in excellent shape thinning hair/receding hairline takes away from how I feel. -Call this insecurity/ less than great self-esteem or what- nonetheless this is what’s kind of been programmed into my head. As everyone knows looks matter, and I guess if I can financially do it I might as well try. Do I think this is going to help me get hot girls?? No!!! That is not my expectation, however it may improve my self-image, which may translate to many different areas of my life.

The problem that after you will fix your hair, you will think you need bmw m5, otherwise you feel ‘poorer’ than other guys… It is all about self esteem that attracts girls. If you are fit and your bearthe doesn’t smell - you got the basics down now it is all about the attitdue
Look, go to Dr. Bernstein’s page and read the patient feedback. Every one of them describes it as a game changer, one of the best things they’ve ever done. I get so sick of people that aren’t bald saying bald doesn’t matter, it’s like women saying it’s attractive to be plus sized. While it’s anecdotally cute, it lacks any empirical evidence. You will never see a bald guy in an advertisement or on TV unless it’s either a Viagra commercial or he’s playing the goofy old Dad figure. Because the bottom line is bald simply does not fit the desirable image. Everyone thinks bald is great as long as it’s not them. And I’m with you L3Beat it (actually applaud your deposit, hopefully getting my first consult in Dec), I hate being type cast by my hairline in terms of age, behavior and dress.
^+1 to BS.
I agree with BS. Good luck L3. Keep us posted - there are, ahem, a few of us that might benefit from your experience.
Yeah brah - nicely done BS - I’m not saying don’t do it, just think it all the way through (but this might be one of those things you can’t be 100% until after the fact, and you just have to take the leap).
Sorry, but you guys are extremely vain. I think this industry makes people become more shallow than they would be otherwise. Edit: or maybe shallow people are attracted to this industry…you know, the whole models and bottles thing.

If you can afford it, why not? You spend money on new clothes? I mean, I could make the argument that if you drive anything other than a Ford Focus or Dodge Caravan you’re vain. But before I go on, let me preface this by saying that I am single, so it in fact has very little to do with me caring about how I look and a sh*t ton to do with caring about how much the opposite gender cares about how I look. Girls care a whole lot about how the guy looks in the initial stages of meeting them. You’d be foolish to think otherwise. Not to mention the numerous actual studies that confirmed that within seconds of meeting someone, girls know how the date will be ending. Romanticize away all you want though. Of course guys like to say, “would you date a girl like that?”. But in reality it’s simply hypocritical, because unless you’re Ray Charles, you care how your spouse looks.
I’m actually all for hair transplants and other plastic surgeries, because plastic surgery allows you to make your outer appearance resemble your inner appearance — fake.
- rough Tosh quote
You might not be happier, but at least you’ll look like it. That’s the ticket. Seriously, I don’t blame people for undertaking these procedures, I just think that they don’t really fix anything.
Looks definitely matter. Not just in dating, but in your career also. Anyway, the issue here is not just physical appearance. It’s the fact that people think that hair transplants are weird. If you get hair transplants, you might look more attractive, especially from far away. However, you will forever become the “hair transplant guy”. Is this weirdness worth the incremental improvement in physical attractiveness? That’s the question to answer here.
Hatas gonna hate, I’m 100% for it.
But if many of the people here are “haters”, isn’t that an indication of how this procedure will be perceived by people in the real world? If the purpose of plastic surgery is to alter the way other people perceive you, shouldn’t other peoples’ psychological reactions to plastic surgery also be taken into consideration, regardless of what the patient themselves think of the procedure?
Count me in BS.
