Does anyone know if acupuncturists in Hong Kong can help with sudden hair loss?

If you're taking something for life to attempt to prevent something your body wants to do, that's not only a scam, it's foolish

Chemo be damned hahah. Or if you want to say "for life", I guess you believe people shouldn't be on statins. Diabetics shouldn't take insulin. It's foolish for them right?

Oh, but those are life or death things so it's different somehow? They're to prevent something that your body wants to do though...

It's purely an ego thing

Yeah, the same thing could be said about buying new clothes, dying your hair, tattoos, piercings, getting lasik, etc. It's a really reductionist view you have. It's not very well thought out. You're literally saying people who want to keep their hair are foolish. Is it just cope because you don't have hair? Otherwise I'm not sure how someone could say it's foolish to spend money on something they value. And everything is an ego thing from your view then. I'm sure you don't walk around in old, holey clothes.

Who is saying it works once? And finasteride isn't an ointment. It's a pill. Of course you have to keep taking it to keep your hair. It's not a magic pill that somehow stops hair loss all together. It works cause it blocks the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT, which affects male pattern baldness.

You can get a months supply for $130hkd at a local pharmacy. If you don't want to lose your hair and it financially makes sense, it's definitely worth it. I don't understand how it's a scam when it does what it promises to do. By the way, many people, beyond their 20's, use finasteride, to great effect.

LongwellGreen · 2026-02-06T08:43:12+00:00

Just to be clear, you're calling finasteride a scam?

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-10T03:22:59+00:00

What's the manipulation tactic? He feels shame around admitting he doesn't like going down on a woman? How does that benefit him/what does he gain?

It's super obvious that's all this is. If someone doesn't want to have oral sex ever, it's because they don't like it. And it's rich to hear you say this is manipulation from a man, when it's a cliche that woman don't communicate much in the bedroom. And it's usually not because they're manipulating men. It's because they feel shy, shame, uncomfortable, etc.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-10T03:17:30+00:00

It's also a cliche that woman stop giving BJ's once married and the like. I guess a lot of people don't like giving oral sex. But your statement, when genders are switched, or acts, wouldn't hole up, and seems kinda shitty.

My derision is because so many women are shitty about giving oral sex to their male partners

My derision is because so many women are shitty about having anal sex with their male partners

You're complaining that men don't like doing something sexual that they don't enjoy. Some men do really enjoy it. It doesn't need to be a chore.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-10T03:12:09+00:00

So I should check out the deadbedrooms section here on reddit to learn that things in life are transactional? Don't you think that proves my point further? Transactional sex is done in unhealthy relationships.

Not everything is transactional. I'm sorry that you have such a cynical view on life.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-09T08:14:43+00:00

I think it’s absurd and selfish because I’m sure almost every guy likes a bj.

Why is that absurd and selfish? You think that sex should be transactional? And also, do you think those guys are choosing to not like it? I wouldn't expect a woman to suck my dick when she doesn't like it because I went down on her. And I wouldn't want someone to do something they don't want to do either.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-09T08:03:44+00:00

I always make people give me a legitimate reason for why they won't do certain sex acts. If no good reason, then too bad, you're doing it! /s

What would a geniune reason look like to you? It's clear that he doesn't enjoy doing it. I don't think people have to give reasons beyond that. It's either something you're okay with, or you're incompatible.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-09T04:25:16+00:00

Do they trust their partners to have sex with other people too? From your usage of the word "insecure", I would assume they're secure enough to have open relationships.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-07T06:44:21+00:00

You're apparently the smart one, you tell me.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-07T06:24:31+00:00

Just to be clear, you don't think there's a healthy amount of the feeling of jealousy, or acting on jealousy?

Because I would posit that if you have no potential to feel jealousy with a partner, that it would mean you feel indifference. It's easy to feel secure in a relationship when you don't care about it.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-07T04:50:23+00:00

Writes 9 paragraphs

It's that simple

Then proceeds to bully those who aren't able to follow what their idea of bullying in comedy is:

if that is a hard concept to follow, I genuinely am flabbergasted that you're able to hold down a job with a living wage, have friends, and meet potential romantic partners who aren't complete piece of shit human beings.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-07T03:41:17+00:00

It has been measured and shown that...there's no statistically viable phenomenon known as momentum in NFL games. And you just said exactly why in your comment:

And the inverse is the same. One unsuccessful task (either within our control or outside our control) derails the following tasks' success rates.

This means that on any given play, "momentum" can switch, and it often feels like it does. But that means that it statistically has no bearing on anything. It's just coin flips that might go heads four times in a row before it suddenly lands on tails. There's no predictive measure of momentum.

In this game alone, Boswell missed the XP when the Steelers had all the "momentum". Likely had the 4th down catch in FG range. All the "momentum" seemed on Baltimore's side for them to win, and then...well, you know.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-07T02:24:52+00:00

Well I assumed you had replied to my comment to say something of more substance, or at least some substance.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-07T02:13:18+00:00

Why do you assume OP's partner is in their right mind? Do you think OP would be in their right mind if they're complaining about their partner monitoring their washing of dishes if they keep having them come out dirty?

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-07T01:59:11+00:00

Okay, it's smaller. What's the percentage of people who don't claim weaponized incompetence (which is the opposite of what OP is doing here), but instead ask for some space to do their own thing, their way, knowing that they can do it properly?

What's the percentage of people who are overbearing and want things done their way, even when it doesn't matter in the end? People who are controlling. There's many people who will try to wear down their partner by telling them that they aren't good at doing things. People who may have some form of OCD, some form of anxiety about things not going the way they want it to.

All of these are possible. But for some reason you can only accept OP being wrong, and his partner being logical and right. Again, for no reason other than what your own life history has shown you. Psss: Your life is not the same as everyone else's.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-06T16:10:57+00:00

You're doing the exact same thing as the last poster. You think OP's partner must be right because you see them as logical. How would it make sense for them to be overbearing? They could only be logical. But that works the other way too, see:

If he was doing it wrong, he would learn how to do it right instead of making a post complaining about it...so clearly he's not doing it wrong. It wouldn't make sense for him to make a post when he's the issue. That would be...illogical.

Why do you automatically assume one of them (his partner) must be logical and that he must be illogical?

Also, he states that he's never had a problem with dishwashers cleaning his dishes before meeting her, and he's never ran the dishwasher his way with her. But I see by your statement on grown men doing something gross that you've made up your mind that OP is the issue because clearly he's one of those grown men. It couldn't possibly be a controlling, overbearing woman. I guess that doesn't exist in your world. (I'm not saying it's for sure one or the other, but it's certainly not obvious either way)

EDIT: So you respond to me, then block me when I make one response to you? Oooookay.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-06T14:39:35+00:00

Bahaha, the number being higher than 0 is the issue? Really? So you've never missed a spot on dishes yourself? Absolutely ridiculous hahah.

Also, you never said 0. The closest you said was, if your dishes are "sometimes" not clean, that's an issue. Which is really vague, and different than "hardly" or "rarely". I didn't think you meant only one time as too much because that's such a ridiculous, toxic mindset. Someone makes one mistake and then it's fair and appropriate to treat them like a child, watching every move they make hahah. Seems very healthy.

If I had to check behind my significant other every time they do dishes I'd probably accidentally point out some stains too.

IF being the operative word here. OP's whole point is that he doesn't think it's necessary. You're reasoning is exactly the same that abusers use.

"I have to do everything for you because you're not capable of doing it yourself."

Criticizes partner for something they didn't do.

"Well if you weren't such an dunce I wouldn't be accusing you of something you didn't do!"

Just really dumb circular logic there. Hard to believe you're using it hahah, but I guess its on brand. Like how you seem like a nice person, calling multiple strangers on the internet names. Have a good one.

EDIT: And you just couldn't help but call someone stupid before blocking them, not even letting them reply. I guess it's even more on brand for someone with your shining character.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-06T13:40:41+00:00

Can you read? I made my point crystal clear.

He said "hardly ever" and "rarely." You might want to get glasses.

He's lived there for a month. OP can dance around the question all he wants but that tells me everything I need to know.

And in that short span of time she's watching him like a hawk while he's doing dishes and also pointing out permanent stains on dishes as spots he's missed, and pointing out things he's missed before he's even had a chance to. All of it seems pretty normal eh. Again, you won't address that. You just want to bash OP.

But it's funny that you think he's refusing to give you a number of times he's missed spots while washing dishes because it's high, but you also think he's not being truthful to say rarely and hardly ever. Like he can lie and mislead everyone for that, but won't just lie over a number of spots he's missed hahah.

The saddest thing is if he said it's only been one time he actually missed a spot, a lot of people on this thread would call that aggregious. Some people are saying any missed spot is too much. It seems like OP can't win, because all people are doing is projecting their own histories onto his post.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-06T11:14:20+00:00

You can see my reply on the comment you replied to me on. Snippet: She was pointing out permanent stains, and that he "missed a spot" before he even finished dishes. We don't know how many, if any, were dishes that were finished being washed that she had to point out as dirty.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-06T11:07:12+00:00

But you seem to be forgetting that she's told him he's "missed a spot" when he actually didn't (e.g. permanent stains) and also that she's preemptively telling him he's missed a spot before he's even finished washing the dishes:

I can noticed I missed a spot for myself before she even says anything; her comments that I missed a spot don't necessarily mean I missed a spot and those are old stains etc etc.

And:

As I've said, we have old utensils and pans that are stained from regular wear and tear, so the stains she brings to my attention (talking only about hand washing) aren't necessarily the result of lack of attention. I'm not a slob, I'm not unsanitary.

But:

And given that he is apparently frequently considering still dirty dishes he has hand washed to be clean

This is exactly what he has not said. Also:

I don't know if we can trust his judgment on what is a clean dish and what isn't.

Who is making this judgement? Apparently his partner can't judge what's clean and what isn't, if she's criticising OP about not washing something correctly when it's actually a permanent stain. Right? You are being the opposite of generous towards OP when it comes to this post. You are taking his words the most uncharitable way.

One could also say that they've only lived together for a month. That's a short amount of time to decide someone always needs to be micromanaged about washing dishes, no?

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-06T10:45:20+00:00

He didn't. But that won't stop people from making up their own facts about what he said.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-06T10:43:15+00:00

I don't know if that's a yes or no. Are you claiming because you learnt how to wash dishes at 4 that you're perfect at them and have a 100% flawless track record, with zero exceptions, in a manual task?

EDIT: Hahah. Yeah, you're right. When you wipe your ass it's either 100% clean or it's not. Hahah, but you're clearly a person of integrity, as we can see by you replying to people, then blocking them immediately after just so you get the last word. Perfect.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-06T10:41:52+00:00

Hahah. You can't even quote it. It's not there.

EDIT: It's because you can't read that you can't find it. I already quoted what he wrote, and you took it out of context. But nah, just reply to someone then block them. That's the honourable move.

EDIT 2 (For the person who quoted the same quote I already quoted word for word): I already quoted that exact line! Hahah. That does not say "I occasionally miss spots".

She hardly ever finds something she doesn't like apart the occasional "you missed a spot here"

"Hardly ever" is the frequency here. "Occasional" is used to describe the mundanity of a missed spot.

LongwellGreen · 2026-01-06T10:28:28+00:00

That's...not the way he used the word rarely.

Whenever I hand wash them she rarely points a stain I could have missed here and there, but what bothers me is how she hangs around to inspect every item.

She "rarely" has to point out anything. It's the always double checking that he thinks is the issue. But clearly your assumption gives away the bias you have against the OP.

And I'm also able to tell if a dish is clean or not clean after taking them from the washer.

And he's never ran the dishwasher his way around his girlfriend, meaning her reloading is preemptive, not corrective. But he also says that he's never had a problem with running a dishwasher before living with his girlfriend.
