how do you even "feel" an increase in T? more irrational aggression? acute hair loss?
I feel like there's this explot in human psychology:
People are pretty bad at matching causes to effects.
Doing something novel / outside your usual routine can feel pretty good, regardless of what it is you're doing.
Therefore: People who try weird diets, snake oils, or letting the sun shine on their asshole really do feel better afterwards, at least for a while. That must mean it works!

It was supposed to be the taint, you fool! You've doomed us all!
Post hoc ergo proptor hoc
Good phrase
That's the placebo effect, baby. That's part of why's we's gots control groups in medical studies - to filter out the noise of just having hope now that you've got something new.
You are not that far off. For me:
Hair grows everywhere except where you want it to.
It's a bit easier to gain muscles with the same amount of exercise and the same diet.
And yes, more irrational aggression to some degree.
Obviously not because of onions, though
interesting with a bit of perspective. i started balding at 21 so i don't really have anything to compare to...
Funny, that's when I started growing hair where I don't want it to be.
So like male PCOS?
fwiw what i've heard is that testosterone doesn't make you aggressive; rather it like tends to make you feel things a lot, which can either lead to aggression or to being a human guard dog or whatever, depending on the circumstance and the person.
sorta like how being drunk doesn't make you violent, it makes some people violent and makes others profess how much they love everyone in the room while loudly sobbing.
