Losing Hair

True! A tan will change the whole game! There was a book 20 yrs ago called "the game" (pick up artists were all the rage then) where the main dude went through this exact scenario that the OP is describing.

The USA is the only place where people actually want to be tan. In other countries the peasants and field hands are synonymous with having a tan.

Your are correct, of course. The oldest story I know, the Iliad, repeatedly describes the most beautiful woman in the world (Helen of Troy) with the phrase "arms as white as ivory". The non tan wasn't a statement of beauty but of status as you alluded to. In other words, being light skinned wasn't aesthetic in and of itself; it was a sign of status. I think most people look better with some color.

Another example: in 19th century america, a big belly was a synonymous with wealth and status but I think we would agree that having a gut is not where it is at as far as looking good LOL

I went to Ankara. Id recommend staying away from the hair mills in Istanbul. I spent $7k, looked like shit for about a week then it just looked like I shaved my head. I was quoted upwards of $20k by a few sites in the US and before and after photos never impressed me.

FYI, running primo is what caused my hair loss. I never had any issues with any other anabolics. Wish I never would have touched it

We’re you completely bald when you got the transplant?

How exactly does it work? Just curious.

No not bald. I was probably a Norwood 2, maybe a 3 on my worst day. I did FUE, plenty of YouTube videos that would explain the procedure better than me.

If I we’re completely bald I would have just shaved my head.

I remember that book!

Wasn’t a good looking dude but knew how to talk to women lol

He was a, writer, and interviewer for NY Times. He interviewed people and learned the skill of getting people to open up, and talk to him.

I get usually Ten to fifteen minutes ,with sun beating directly on me. The other few hours I'm driving , usually, sun shines on face, if window is down. I put sunscreen on some days. I do go to a tanned ng bed maybe once a month . Getting ready for bodybuilding competing, much more. I almost always put sunscreen on face, neck in tanning bed.
