The Kinds Of Emails We Should Really Be Sending

[That Guy]

@hairblues shared a link to the latest entry on folliclethought's blog, recapping a most impressive year in developments for hairloss of all kinds.

Early in the year, when I started to lose ground rapidly, I didn't think there would be any hope beyond conventional treatments. In the span of a few weeks, I went from just learning what minoxidil and finasteride are, to seeing the Riken/Kyocera deal's announcement and more. I feel this describes why those pessimists bother me so much.

From the blog:

"Finally, looking ahead I will remark on a topic that I have spoken of in the past and that is gratitude. If you are looking for a way to improve your outcome of receiving one of these hair treatments then find gratitude now. Don’t wait until a treatment is in your hands to appreciate all of this work. As this post has illustrated there is a lot to be thankful for in the hair growth industry currently. Many people have taken the initiative to dedicate their lives to help solving a problem that is perhaps extremely important to you. Take a moment to feel happy about it, say a prayer or whatever you do, write a company an email or a hand written letter to say thanks for what they are doing – let go of the question “when is it coming out?” When it comes out, you will be well aware of it. We are all anticipating that day when one of these new hair treatments is available for purchase. That day will come. And during this waiting process it is important to “recharge” our outlook and keep our perspectives healthy. This post was designed for that."

I kinda agree with this. But on the other side, it's not as if they do it puely out of the kindness in their hearts. It's also about the $$$. However, I do think many of the researchers contributing to solving certain pieces of a puzzle and will never become rich out of their contribution.

As Spencer Kobren often says, Ray Woods, the inventor of the FUE procedure as we know it today ended up being a footnote and was never given the credit he deserved.

Without him, I would not have had my way out of this nightmare. No way I could be shaving my head with a Joker scar at the back of my head.

Typical human behavior, unfortunately

That "what can this person do for me" mindset

Sorry but you are kidding me...right? Those people don't do it out of their good hearts neither because they want to help humanity. They are trying to produce a commercial product, from which they will benefit greatly. They will earn millions,if not billions from it.

So yeah,I am not even at LEAST grateful about it. You should not forget that there are a TONE of scum academics (surprise surprise, you know very well one ) who just want to publish a paper, hoping to get some funds. And they do this perpetually, just to maintain some hope for a possible breakthrough and grab some cash.

I haven't bust your gratefulness bubble yet? OK listen to this. Many pharmaceutical companies, even big ones, release products that they are TOTALLY aware of that are not effective. You probably think that this is a foolish move,but actually it is not. There would be a while before their product will be considered unsuccessful but by that time,consumers will have paid with amounts that cover research costs and there will be a profit. (keep in mind that authorities like FDA are responsible to claim if a product is safe, not useless )

So I repeat this.Not only I am NOT greatful at all, but I DEMAND that they release an effective product THE SOONEST possible. They will have every right to price it as much they like and we, consumers, have every right to pay for a service we need and satisfies our needs. Welcome to capitalism folks.

Pharmaceutical companies? yes money
Researchers? I don't think a lot of researchers are living large.

What good is the cure if you already have a bald head? I'm basically be 2.5 moving to 3, along with losing density. If i sit on my *** for 4 years and remain grateful, what's that gonna change about my hairline being a nw7.

TBH I don't see myself on finasteride for 10+ years so one of These up and coming treatments better work.

I'm sure a lot of male pattern baldness sufferers were so grateful when RU and CB were supposed to change the game. Right now at this point we don't even know 100% if there's an effective cure/treatment despite the 3 or 4 big names claiming they have one. So I'm not ready to be grateful just yet.

You know, I thought this was a nice post, but it was inevitable it would be overrun with stupid people, wasn't it?

The point is you should be grateful anyone out there is working on solving your f*****g problem, because the medical field and society at large don't see it as one. Meanwhile, some woman is f*****g some other guy behind her balding husband's back, but tells him she still finds him attractive in their sexless marriage; you are the butt of jokes in real life and fiction, a teenager is contemplating suicide because he's losing all his hair and his friends at school make fun of him for it, another guy is living with eternal side effects from Propecia, a child cries watching all his/her hair fall out from AA and a woman sits, despising her reflection and afraid to go outside without her hat.

and yet, we somehow have people DEMANDING and bitching like spoiled children. It's f*****g disgusting.

Belgian scientists found a fu**** possible way to cure obesity / type 2 diabetes. They found this by accident... The hope is one day we will wake up and read in newspapers(first on HairLossTalk.com though) scientists found THE cure for us. Scientist If you read this ^^: Keep on searching. Ty

This is super interesting. Obesity research was first super popular due to the insane sales figures for a slim pill, but then soon deemed impossible as there is no pathway better protected than fat synthesis.
Being obese as a girl has quite the same impact as being young and bald foor guys (men like confident girls lol) so it would bring tremendous happyness to have this resolved.

Also on a sidenote: Being a researcher in biotech is one of the worst jobs you can have. Research is most of the time extremely frustrating, you are always struggling for funding, you payment is quite average compared to a guy researching eg. rocket engines and the startup you are working for might run out of money anytime. Even Tsuji will not get rich with his research, after all those years of groundbreaking work.

I will explain:

You are having difficulty separating your personal experiences and what you assume to be true, with the way things generally are for the overwhelming majority of the population.

The problem is we don't actually know factually that balding is the least desirable trait a man could have. There's tons of articles and surveys where the majority (over 50%) of women claim that hair alone would not dictate whether or not they date a guy. The problem is, every time someone posts that, "of course they'll say that, they don't want to be shallow! Trust me, I've seen with my own eyes a woman reject me because of my lack of hair!". That doesn't make it a majority, and most of the time we don't even know if that is the reason, but it's the easiest thing to blame. I'm 100% sure that some girls care about hair, but like I said earlier, there's also girls that care about height, money, fame, status, education, family, etc.

In an ideal world, everyone would have every desirable trait, but this isn't an ideal world, you need to make compromises one way or another.

Face>hair.

If you're ugly and go bald, you're still ugly.
If you're good looking and go bald, you drop maybe 1 to 2 points.

Stop making excuses and posting that PUA psuedo science bs

Please stay on topic because people who come to this subforum want to read objective stuff, not what we think of each other's wife.

I have just read Dale Carnegie's super famous book on how to win friends and influence people.
It is actually demonstrated that encouragement works much better than disapproval.

So it is definitely a good idea, albeit a bit counter intuitive at times, to underline the little steps we are making rather than complaining about what was not done.

This is really good. I look forward to reading more of these.

I especially hope you do more interviews in the near future.

Thank you

He deleted them because I reported your posts.

Do yourself a great favour and really,go see a psychologist. I mean super-fast. You are completely brain damaged from hairloss.

What is really f*****g disgusting is having people like you who think they are depressed for some f*****g hairs while there are other people who struggle daily with way more serious health issues and yet they manage to cope with their situation and move on to their lives. Those are the real heroes.

YOU are the spoiled f*****g kid who just can't accept the fact that he has bad genes for... hair! BIG DEAL! And you are the kind that cries and is bitching about it in forums and problably in real life too. Wow, cry us some river.Go tell that you are depressed and you think that everybody makes fun of you to people that are crippled,blind,amputated, in a wheelchair or with cancer. Go tell them.

PS.Pay a visit to a shrink immediately.

PS2.Don't bother to answer. You are from now on in my ignore list

 

[Abelibano]

Fred you can also add disfigured too.
But just let me ask you a question and please answer honestly... Is hairloss your biggest "problem"? Or do you face other serious issues in your daily life? (please try to answer as objectively as you can)

 

[EvilLocks]

I have a mild social anxiety problem, a mild bipolar disorder that can f*** up my mood from time to time, mild BDD (one acne spot on my forehead and I might not leave the house until it's resolved) too, I suffer from low self-esteem and hypersensitivity.

What you might notice is that all these problems will be magnified by hair loss, so it's no wonder that I lost my mind when it happened.

Word. I'm exactly like this as well. You pretty much described me. It's not a walk in the park having a huge flaw like baldness when you have this personality type.
