Nope I never applied Rogaine to an open wound, I have tried lowering dosage frequency / going from 5% to 2% for a while as well.. none of that worked.. some of the rogaine you will apply will inevitably go systemic since your skin is the largest organ.. the degree in which that happens depends again on your genetics.. also I think it's important how high your blood pressure initially is, if it's on the higher side you might not get this side effect, if it's on the healthier side the rogaine that went systemic might cause it too go too low.. and your heart will compensate by palpitating, causing chest pains.. Also the oral blood pressure medication which it initially was lomatil, is no longer being prescribed.. I think that also had to do with safety..
The only thing I didn't want to try was RU58841 (it being a research chemical), but that probably has the same potency as finasteride.. For me there's just not that much of a point in trying to spend too much mental energy / time on a sinking ship which I can never save without "big guns" like finasteride or RU58841 working.. stuff like dermarolling or even minoxidil will probably slow down the process a bit but if it is in your genetics to progress to a norwood 7 then it will never prevent it from your testosterone wreaking havoc on your hair follicles. And apart from that in all the scientific literature none of these FDA approved hairloss meds have been tested for safety for 10-20+ years (which is the timeframe you'll pbb be looking at if you're a hairloss sufferer).
anyway there's my long tangent on hairloss prevention, I've read way too much into it my initial phase.. but sort of just came to accept it..

hey man appreciate the feedback.. yeah I have tried finasteride and rogaine like 5 years ago when I caught androgenetic alopecia really early (hairline was looking really good back then.. unfortunately I got mad side effects from them both (100% not psychosomatic).. in the first month of using finasteride I experienced the following sides: stabbing pain with my nipples (onset of gyno), also delayed ejaculation and testicular pain.... with rogaine I had no problem using it for 6 months or sth but then I also got chest pains (some of the rogaine when systemic and pbb got my blood pressure too low)... so yeah I decided to prioritize my health over hair with that stuff.. unfortunately I am a bit limited with my genetics in that regard.. if I let my hair or beard grow out much longer it looks a bit unkempt... I am working on improving my fitness since reading your guide, also a bit a limited in that regard cause of back problems...
with regards to none of em work you mean my appearance itself for tinder or how the pictures are shot?

cheers for the response! I have trimmed it a couple of times.. looks pretty decent, but I think keeping it this short just looks a little bit better thought I'll have have to trim it to a 1-2 by force though lol... was thinking of getting some tattoos on my arm as well, what are your thoughts? what do you think of pic #2/3 ? I PMed you about private coaching btw, I'd be interested in that if you still offer
I have attached some more photos of the shoot here, apart from that I don't have any photos... pbb should add some activity pic of my kitesurfing / playing poker or something

thanks for the feedback.. hmm I liked the one in the white shirt lol.. what don't you like about it? that I'm looking straight into the camera / makes me look to posed? I think maybe the 3rd one also looks a bit too posed..
for the bio I'm just trying to play as wide of a range as possible, cause hardly getting any matches now.. I think tinder might've screwed me up in the algorithm cause I threw a bunch of money at it with super boosts and platinum right off the bat when creating it.. also I think the tinder pool just sucks over here in Malta..
