I am a 32M experiencing hair loss and it is causing me severe anxiety and self esteem problems. So far I have had the advantage of looking like I'm still in my early to mid 20s and I feel that if my hair loss progresses I will lose that and become invisible to women. Because of this, I am considering Propecia, which works to stop hair loss, but has a small chance of permanently causing sexual dysfunction.
Most people are of the opinion that it would defeat the purpose of keeping your hair if you lose your libido. But the way I look at it, I don't see that there is much point in having a sex drive if I don't have the looks to attract women. As of now I have no intention of getting into a serious relationship and I am not paying for sex. I am also not going to lower my standards to the point where I'll go have sex with ugly obese trailer park women in their 50s. Seeing as how pretty much any decent looking woman can find a younger guy with a full head of hair willing to bang her, I don't see a balding 32 year old man ever scoring a casual fling. Even a 14 year old boy has a better chance(yes, even with adult women).
So that being the case, isn't it only reasonable for me to try at all costs to keep my hair even if that means losing my sex drive? Isn't being able to get dates with women I'm attracted to but not being able to have sex with them better than being totally invisible and not being able to get any dates?
