Chapters

• 00:00 - 00:30: Introduction The chapter discusses the obsession with cosmetic surgeries referencing the appearance akin to Frankenstein's monster due to excessive procedures. It shifts towards a more serious topic addressing a study related to the side effects of hair growth inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride, highlighting the potential risks recently uncovered by a study published on March 21, two weeks prior to this transcript.
• 00:30 - 05:00: New Study on Hair Inhibitors A new study from Korea reveals that hair inhibitors can lead to permanent infertility in men by decreasing sperm quality and volume during use. The study contradicts previous beliefs that stopping usage would lead to recovery of sperm quality.
• 05:00 - 10:00: Hair Systems vs. Hair Transplants The chapter discusses the dilemma faced by men using hair loss treatments for extended periods. It highlights a study indicating that prolonged use (over 19 months) can lead to permanent sperm quality issues, posing a risk of infertility. Those using such treatments must weigh the choice between maintaining hair and facing potential reproductive consequences.
• 10:00 - 15:00: Critique of Balding Advice The chapter critiques common advice given to balding men, particularly the notion that balding equates to infertility and a lesser chance of having children. It challenges the long-term impact of such beliefs, suggesting that some people may eventually deceive themselves into believing that their partners did not settle for them despite settling-related insecurities. The critique highlights how these ideas might affect an individual's self-perception and relationships over time.
• 30:00 - 35:00: Importance of Natural-Looking Transplants The chapter 'Importance of Natural-Looking Transplants' explores societal perceptions of hair transplants and the deep-seated need for authenticity. The speaker discusses how individuals, especially those in their early 20s, are often oblivious to issues like infertility and the pressure to conform to certain life scripts, such as getting married and starting a family. As people progress in life, they begin to care about issues that seemed irrelevant in their youth. The conversation reflects on the challenges posed by inevitable life changes, like aging and health, and metaphorically likens these challenges to fighting against the 'reaper.' It introduces the notion of considering medical interventions such as 'five pair inhibitors' without going into specifics. The emphasis remains on the universal quest for naturalness and combating the stigma associated with visible interventions.
• 35:00 - 37:00: Conclusion The chapter 'Conclusion' discusses the efficacy and potency of dutasteride in treating Norwood victims, highlighting that it is significantly stronger than finasteride. It explains that dutasteride is known to substantially reduce DHT levels, being three times more potent than finasteride. However, the chapter also points out the limitations of certain studies regarding infertility and the lack of a significant recovery in sperm quality. A notable weakness identified is the insufficient discontinuation period in the studies.

• 00:00 - 00:30 you look like Frankenstein because after you did like 500 million surgeries in your face and still look at you and be like "Oh my god you look beautiful." No I'll be like "You look like Guys today I've got some bad news for those in the community who are trying to keep the rep at bay Many of you use five hair inhibitors like finasteride and tasteride Potential side effects of these has been known for a while but now there's a new study that's been brought to my attention This was published on March 21 I mean only 2 weeks ago It basically shows that it not only
• 00:30 - 01:00 decreases sperm quality and volume during the intake when you take it but even after you get off it you don't see a significant recovery So it might lead to infertility by permanently reducing your sperm quality according to this newest study coming from Korea I mean it was known it was known before that reducing sperm quality was one of the potential sides but it was said that getting off it brings it back brings the quality back So the game plan for people
• 01:00 - 01:30 using it has been okay when we decide to have a baby then I will get off it I will start taking it But this new study shows that no significant recovery in men who use it for longer than 19 months It permanently makes your sperm quality go amp up That's tough in this case If you have been using it longer than 19 months it might be GG man So you got to choose between you know risking infertility or hair And I know some of
• 01:30 - 02:00 you are going to say "Oh yeah bro You know if you are balding if you are bald there is even a bigger infertility factor You won't even get to have the chance to have children anyway." So what is the problem here you say that you say that but 5 years down the line 10 years down the line a lot of views will be oofy doofies I talk about in my videos you will trick yourself into believing that the woman you are with you married didn't settle for you that you are not
• 02:00 - 02:30 the wolfie Because like I said everybody thinks the next guy is the wolfy doofy Oh it is not me It is the next guy Many of you are just in your early 20s bro 21 22 You will eventually get married and stuff You will graduate start working start making some money and then get married The usual life script Then you will care about infertility I mean just tough stuff man What do you even do how do you even fight the reaper in this case because five pair inhibitors have
• 02:30 - 03:00 been the name of the game for many Norwood victims especially dutasteride because dutasteride is stronger than finasteride Literally nukes your DHT It is said to be three times stronger than finasteride Now this study has some limitations as well Of course it doesn't say that it will cause infertility 100% It just suggests that there was not a significant recovery in superm quality The weakness of the study I believe is the discontinuation period It is almost
• 03:00 - 03:30 6 months Bro I don't see the sample size as a serious weakness Even though paper cited as one of the limitations it is not the best 2,000 would have been better but 200 is okay I just wish they waited another six months But still guys this is a concerning study for those of you who are on the test right and I know for a fact that a lot of views are a lot of views watching this video are just brutal stuff man What have you been doing oh yeah bro I will cross that bridge when we get to it Currently I'm a
• 03:30 - 04:00 rehab viewer bro Like you will play your life script of stuff man You are trying to run away from the reaper You try to look smack You try to change things but it turns out that you can't even use dutasterite if you want to have children in the future What are you going to do you know what I'm saying like the other day the community member was telling me "Oh bro yeah I'm on finasteride and I am still losing hair." Imagine bro the guy is on finasteride He's nuking his DHD
• 04:00 - 04:30 and still losing hair I was honest with him I told him "Dude like it is like you were destined for boldness Some people were destined for greatness You were destined for boldness man Sometimes Reaper really doesn't take no for an answer." And then he was like "Oh RIP maybe I should hop on dutasteride instead of pinsterite since it is more effective right?" Then boom this time you are chemically castrated Tough scenes man I mean sure finasteride and tasteride are not the only ways to fight
• 04:30 - 05:00 balding but without them it is going to be tough Some say oh bro there's hair systems this hair system me bro it is a glorified wig I love how they try to give it a more intellectual sounding name cuz you know putting on a wig sounds degrading just like how instead of betabox deluxe they say oh being on your purpose being ambitious and generous at the same time You need to hustle bro Just call it what it is man Betabbox Deluxe Same thing here Oh hair
• 05:00 - 05:30 systems It is a glorified wig It is not real hair and you will have to maintain that bro It is a hassle Some people can't even do that because of their hair conditions sensitive skin I mean I personally would not recommend that unless you are like norwood five norwood sex too far gone to a point where you can't even get a hair transplant just maintaining that a hair system a wig is going to be a hassle you are going to feel itchy at times I wouldn't recommend that man my personal suggestion is and
• 05:30 - 06:00 always has been hair transplant along with finasteride if you don't see any side effects if you are fine with finasteride if you respond well you should go with that combination bro a couple people a couple of views were asking me about hair systems recently yeah what do you say should I just shave it off completely and use a hair system instead Bro it is a wake It is a glorified wake But I will say this I will say this Even the hair systems are just awake I would recommend even that
• 06:00 - 06:30 even that overgoing bald at such young ages like 21 22 Bro being bald is such a burd But even more so when you are a zoomer I mean under this video for example guys people were coping out of their minds in the comments Oh bro just embrace it man You're going to embrace it It is better to be bold than masculine That masculinity cop again The cop was unbearable Really this guy
• 06:30 - 07:00 instantly went up like four points instantly And coppers in the comments were still like "Oh dude just shave it off and embrace being bold." What are you saying man the kid instantly went up four points He went from a 38-year-old accountant to a cute Chedlight Zoomer Instant life change and all the commenters are like "Oh dude you know that is gay The cop is crazy bro." Then you have content creators like Bald Cafe Balden Cafe whatever Oh the confidence
• 07:00 - 07:30 confidence you deserve is finally here More like the cop you didn't need but you deserve finally here That is the funny thing about channels like Balding Cafe If you really need to watch Bald Cafe Balding Cafe whatever to cuddle and comfort you if you try to be confident there is something fundamentally wrong there The same paradox you see with the MT community They are just trying to comfort and delude themselves instead of
• 07:30 - 08:00 actually facing the truth Real MT men don't need to label themselves as such Real confident bold men don't watch bold confidence In today's one we're going to be talking about why it's actually better to go bold when you're younger rather than when you're older I mean the cop is actually insane I don't know if you are going to remember this guy Bald Cafe He's not as popular these days He's not getting views anymore but he was one of the bigger JBW channels back in the day who went to Asia to make a living
• 08:00 - 08:30 Surprise surprise right british balding YouTuber Wannabe goes to China to get a girlfriend What a shocker And he's actually above average looking too Like facially crony facial level He's above average He actually reminds me of that actor from the movie Upgrade I don't know his name but he reminds me of that actor Like bald British version of that actor And despite being above average shadowite what did he do he went to
• 08:30 - 09:00 China to Geomax From the safety of JBW behind the safe glass he's telling young men to go bold He decided to shave it off wave the white flag against the Reaper instead of fighting it But what did he do what did he do did he stay in the UK and compete there he fled to China You know what I'm saying oh dude No you're you're just jealous bro He was just traveling He did it for cultural reasons He was just respecting their
• 09:00 - 09:30 Chinese culture from the safety of his status in China He told the young man in west to go You know just like a Ukrainian refugee woman in the UK rooting for mandatory conscription back in Ukraine Be safe and sound in the UK She left the country Doesn't have in the game but he's like "Oh yeah all men must go to the trenches." Balden Cafe and other JVW YouTubers who are telling you to shave
• 09:30 - 10:00 it off are like that Oh yeah bro Just go bone go B It is considered being confident Don't mind me Don't do what I do Despite being above average facially I had to flee to China But you don't look at me You go get bald Guys just imagine Just imagine how many young men did not recover their hairline because of this guy Because they were following the advice of this guy under the disguise of fake confidence How many
• 10:00 - 10:30 lives did her ruin just imagine bro the sort of inspiration for this video He made an awesome comment on one of my videos and I really like some of the things he said in that comment and I'm this is such a pitiful cop man This entire comment is "Oh it is just better to be bald when you are young than old cuz you get it out of way earlier." What kind of logic is that man it is like "Oh it is better to lose one of your kidneys when you are young because that way you get it out of way earlier." What kind of logic is that man you just willingly
• 10:30 - 11:00 embrace all the negative consequences of something that you could have avoided in this day and age with all the available technology and medicine instead of saving it Saving your hairline just forget about it Point two is also another cop of course playing with words to justify and cop it is not the only thing that makes a man good-looking Sure it is not the only thing It is not needed for a few selected naturally good-looking men like
• 11:00 - 11:30 Jeremy Meeks But for a lot of men for the vast majority who are not like Jeremy Meeks it is one of the essential parts of the total package For a lot of men being bold or not will be the determining factor will be the difference between being attractive or not I mean there are so many examples of this The Tik Tok I have shown you earlier The kid literally went from a 38-year-old accountant to an actual cute zoomer Four points different Instantly I
• 11:30 - 12:00 know some people in the comments are going to be like "Oh bro I know a guy I know a guy I know a short bold guy who is pulling like crazy only because he's comfortable in his own skin." this I know Geico they are almost always either a cherry-picking or b leaving out some serious context that would explain the situation like a short bold guy being a white American in a country like Cambodia or something using his money and status there But sure they always
• 12:00 - 12:30 know a guy or I know a guy I know a guy who knows a guy who knows another guy But the number three in this comment is actually my favorite here Peep this guys 200 IQ You don't seem to age as fast when you are bald Look at Patrick Stewart when he was 20 And when he was 40 he looked identical Comedian You know what that means right that is because he looked 40 when he was 20 Patrick Stewart didn't
• 12:30 - 13:00 look 20 when he was 40 It is the other way around I just find it so hilarious how desperately he tries to frame it as something positive Oh you don't seem to age as fast brother That is because you start the game as looking old When your starting point is looking old of course you are not going to seem to age as fast Framing this as something positive is such a laughable cop It is like a dude with a busted kidney bragging like "Oh
• 13:00 - 13:30 dude I am so lucky I am so lucky that I had this happen to me at age 21 This way I got it out of way early It is better to live with one kidney anyway Cope after cope man I mean what do you even do what do you even do bro said that you know going bald in his last year of school was a really tough thing to deal with But he goes on to lists all of the positive things that come from that test that come from testing yourself Instead of fixing a problem just go through the ringer bro It will make you stronger
• 13:30 - 14:00 This is such a normie meme too Oh bro You know they call it paras What was it paraspera Adestra Oh only through adversity you can reach great heights Oh just endure bro That is the meaning of life Pasper Oh whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger No Whatever doesn't kill you takes you to the rehab room get it out the way early and you can learn how to deal with it And so it's not
• 14:00 - 14:30 something that's going to be hanging over your head or hanging on to your head for a long time You know you're not going to be going through life worrying like I'm sure there's some men worry out there you know because it happens to a lot of guys Hair loss and guys aren't sort of thinking "Oh when's it going to hit me when's it going to hit me when's the hair loss going to come?" You know constantly checking even though there might not be any signs of hair loss Sure bro Going bald early is better Even if you don't have any balding even if you don't have any hair loss only because you might worry whether you are balding or not better off just shaving it off I
• 14:30 - 15:00 wonder if his viewers really believe this Like nobody actually believes that right um even things like timekeeping I spent a lot of time working on my nutrition and things like that And I made a lot of friends in the gym I was more social Overall just so many awesome things came out of going to the gym And it's a habit I've sort of carried throughout since I was about 14 15 you know It's a habit that I've carried on on doing And I cannot recommend enough um you know having a a regular exercise
• 15:00 - 15:30 routine as part of your day and as as part of your life For a lot of guys when they go bald young they kind of develop these habits a lot earlier on And I think that is such a massive positive of experiencing this hair loss at a young age And then he goes on a rant about Jim Max and how being bold is going to force you to look better in other ways Therefore it is better to be bold That is the logic he's trying to run Bro you know you ain't got to be bald to work out right he goes on a rant on gym
• 15:30 - 16:00 maxing but like everybody works out these days He said it himself He started working out before he started losing hair Say 20 years old all the way to sort of 40 50 you pretty much look the same right there's not going to be any more dramatic changes to your appearance And he gives the example of Patrick Stewart the actor there And I have to agree if you look at him when he's younger as he sort of aged over the years he sort of kept this same look And so it kind of appears that you don't really age And again I think that's
• 16:00 - 16:30 another benefit of losing your hair younger is the fact that people perceive you and you just kind of look the same age You don't later on suddenly get this bam you suddenly go from 40 years old to like 60 years old Instead you look 40 at 20 and 60 at 40 So much better alternative right i mean as bad as hair systems might be I think it is better than being bald at 20 Shaving off really should be the last resort If you get sides from finasteride or you know if you are norwood five nor wood six and
• 16:30 - 17:00 simply cannot do a hair transplant to save your hairline and you don't want to deal with the hassle of putting on a wig then yeah you know you might have to shave it off but apart from that like this guy could have saved his hairline now I said it in the beginning there's a new study that shows it might lead to significant change in sperm quality even after you get off it even after 6 months you are off it and there might be other potential sides associated with it but I
• 17:00 - 17:30 am a firm believer in the importance of hair Even getting only the hair transplant without using the medicines is going to be much better than being bald Even getting only the hair transplant without finasteride is much better than taking no action Sure you are risking to keep losing hair if you are not on medication Even the transplanted hair can go hemp up again But still it is much better than shaving it off Now for hair transplants I have been meaning to make an entire dedicated
• 17:30 - 18:00 video about hair transplants everything about them what to expect what is the entire process like and stuff I just haven't been able to get around to doing it But some small channel that's been on my radar made a video about that talking about his experience what to expect So if you want a long and detailed video regarding a hair transplant in Turkey about all the finer aspects you can go watch this video I won't make this video too long guys but I just want to address
• 18:00 - 18:30 a couple points from that video 25 at 40 or you want to look 40 at 25 The choice is yours It is crazy because there is literally bold cap Instead of telling his viewers to look 20 at 40 he's telling them to look 40 at 20 so that they don't get demoralized about looking 40 when they are actually 40 Hey man instead of recovering your hairline just look like a 40year-old at 20 so that you don't get demoralized about looking old
• 18:30 - 19:00 when you are actually old That is his logic bro If you can believe that doctor himself will open the canals which is the step where they open here in the front where they're going to put their hair It needs to be the doctor You do not want to have a doctor who just draws the lines takes the money and then disappears Okay granted that if you're going to pay more than 5,000 that's already guaranteed that the doctor is going to be there But for the non good lifers who are on a budget just make sure that it's the doctor who opens the
• 19:00 - 19:30 canals Otherwise it's like health risk potential an array of issues you don't want to deal with Okay this is an important point and not only about hair transplants but in general this is a good advice This is especially true in third world countries because a lot of people go to Thailand Turkey Mexico you know to get it for cheap And in those places they often pass it down to some practitioner some nurse instead of doctor doing it himself And some places are so shady Even the doctor himself the
• 19:30 - 20:00 self-proclaimed doctor isn't actually a doctor you know So you got to be careful when you choose the place Make a proper research I think this is a very important point You are going to remember that French guy who tried to get a beard transplant in Turkey and it turned out that the doctor himself actually ain't even a doctor Like some of you is go to Cambodia and other you know go into the jungles of some unknown country to get your surgery just to save money and then you end up with suboptimal results Bro of course some
• 20:00 - 20:30 operation room in the jungles of Nicaragua What did you expect bro they will their main concern is how natural it looks how detectable it is But for us like screw that like just take the hairline that gives you the best facial ths The more aggressive the better it's going to be It being natural is merely a detail that you find out later I will tell you later how to deal with comments from people Okay but for now just take the most goodlooking Don't care about
• 20:30 - 21:00 how natural it looks Just look at mine If you look at it you can tell that I'm having a hair transplant But just take a look at my facial thirds They're almost equal And that is what I wanted And that's what I got by being aggressive She tried to sway me off a lot of times If I listened to her my hairline would have been here and I would have I would have had to done the whole thing I would have had to do the whole thing all over again just because if I was not aggressive with her Okay this was one
• 21:00 - 21:30 section I disagree with Looking good and looking natural usually go hand in hand They are not mutually exclusive I don't agree that looking natural is merely a detail that you are going to find out later That should definitely be a consideration before going through with it I agree I mean no doubt the facial turrets is very important You have to keep that in mind But looking natural hairline looking natural is also very important I feel like cuz it comes down to what I call the golden rule of looks
• 21:30 - 22:00 maxing It is support the signal genetic quality If a surgery if a trait can easily be detectable as fake from outside it won't have the same effect It should be undetectable by an untrained eye Then you got to make sure that both density and thickness of the transplanted hair looks good looks natural This is one thing he said in the video that I don't agree with But this is going to be all for this video guys Don't be a for agent in
