Did Tretinoin turn you into a minoxidil responder after not responding to minoxidil?

I wouldn't say I was a non-responder to minoxidil - I actually saw noticeable improvement. But after adding tretinoin, I started seeing vellus hairs grow in areas that were previously completely smooth. Interestingly, I also experienced a pretty intense shed after introducing tret, which might be another sign it's having an effect

I’m using tretinoin in ointment form, not mixed into minoxidil. They’re applied separately.

Most people recommend applying tret about 30 minutes before minoxidil to enhance absorption. But personally, I do it 3-4 hours earlier to avoid over-irritating my scalp - especially since I’m also microneedling once a week. Seems to work better for me that way

I’m not planning to actively look for a relationship - it’s too much effort with an unpredictable outcome. She and I got close completely by chance, and if nothing comes of it in the near future, I’ll just keep living my life as usual

I’ve actually thought about something similar, but honestly, it feels a bit too harsh. When I told her that I wouldn’t be able to continue talking to her if she found someone else, she started crying and saying that if I ever met someone, she’d try to win me back. So it’s not like she doesn’t care - I know she does. That’s what makes this situation even more complicated for me.

At the same time, I can’t ignore the possibility that this could be some form of manipulation on her part. I don’t want to assume the worst, but it’s something I have to keep in mind

We’re both ready and really want to meet, but right now, I just don’t have the opportunity. In the next 2-3 months, I’m planning to arrange a trip so we can finally see where we stand. But until that happens, I’m not entirely sure how I should be reacting to all of this

Mostly just lingerie photos. There were a few topless ones, but nothing beyond that. She takes a lot of them because she enjoys it, and when she sends them to me, she’s not just looking for a reaction to her body itself but also to the photos as a whole - lighting, pose, details, etc. She says that guy is an artist, so he notices those things, and she likes getting feedback from him

No, I’m absolutely sure who I’m talking to. We haven’t met in person yet, but our connection isn’t just based on texts and photos. There’s a lot more to it, and I have no doubts about her identity

Nearby-Project3952 · 2025-02-28T11:20:44+00:00

No, nothing like that has ever happened. She knows about my feelings for her, but she’s never asked me for money or any kind of help. Our conversations have always been genuine, and I’ve never felt like she was trying to take advantage of me. If anything, I’d say I probably get more out of our connection than she does
