Hello, I am a 24 year old male who is in dire need of help. since I was in 9th grade ive been very hairy, it started with dark black chest hair however I always liked having the chest hair and the girls honestly loved it they thought I was the manliest man in high school. I got to college and became cursed. dark black hair started showing up on my back and my shoulders. now it doesnt stop. my beard now has no distiguishing line it completely connects with my chest hair, and i have no hair line on the back either. it goes straight down my neck and connects to my back and shoulder hair. it gets worst, i have become hairy all over and for some reason the place it matters most, (the head) is thinning and receding. i used to be handsome and had a beautiful girlfiend who i loved dearly. well she ended up cheating on me with another guy and told me she was too embarrased by me going bald and being so hairy on the body. and was no longer atrrated to me. after 3 years.of course the guy she cheated on me with was ripped, body hairless, and had a nice wavy head of hair, oh and it gets worst. I live at the beach. i cant take my shirt off any more because im so ashamed. why does god hate me so much? the hair is dark and coarse much like pubic hair. and i have white skin. someone give me some advice please. i dont want to live as a bald guy with a full sweater. thanks for taking the time to read this, I fell like the only thing that will get my confidence back is to get rid of this sweater. I can live with going bald, but not with more hair on my body than my head. is there hope for me to become a happy normal 24 yr old that is not affraid to take my shirt off? is laser hair removal the answer to my prayers?
I’m sorry to hear about what happened with your girlfriend. You deserve someone better, so I hope that works out for you.
That being said, since you’re 24, you’ve developed most of the hair on your body you are going to. If you are pale and have course dark hair (i.e. SKin Type I, II, or III – you will have to figure out which you are), LHR will do wonders for you. If your skin type is I-III, look for someone with an alexandrite laser (GentleLase or GentleMax would do great for you). That will greatly reduce the amount of hair you have, and which you can follow up with electrolysis to remove anything that remains if you wish. Depending on your location, you may even be able to find some recommendations on this forum. Best of luck to you!
Laser can definitely kill the majority of course dense growth, if it’s done properly with a good laser for your skin type and at good aggressive settings. Please read the FAQs below to figure out how to get that type of treatment.
Meanwhile, there is also waxing, which provides a temporary solution.
What you’re experiencing is not unique. Many men have this issue. Sometimes those with certain thyroid issues get the baldness and body hair. Sometimes it’s hereditary. It wouldn’t hurt to have yourself checked by by a doctor regardless. You can read the Causes for Hair Growth sticky post on the forum to understand what all the different triggers could be. Sometimes it could be related to something you eat or drink or a supplement you take. Eating and drinking healthier can help too.
In terms of women and relationships, not everyone is as superficial as the women you’ve encountered. That’s a pretty rough thing to say to someone you’ve been with for that long. There are women out there who actually like and prefer hair. And most don’t judge simply based on hair. That’s not what defines a human being and hair is removable anyway
I understand what youre speaking about - its not that easy to live like that 
If you want to try laser, for sure go for GentleLase - the newer one with 18mm. And be sure they use the hightest possible settings you can handle - minimum 16J/mm2, optimum 20.
This could help you at least to thin out the hair you allready have, If youre lucky, you get the reduction you want. Then you can continue with electrolysis.
But the shoulders it could happen that you end up with no reduction at all.
And be aware that there is allso another route - you could go from the start with electrolysis allso for the whole back and allso if you have tons of hair.
Here you have some GREAT examples: http://www.hairtell.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/79590/Diary_of_a_European_guy.html#Post79590

But here dont forget - you need a SUPERB electrologist to get this results, otherwise you could end up totally unsatisfied…
Hope it helps. I know how hard it can be allso for a man.
