Or maybe raise awareness through women but research on men
Tricky plan. Sounds evil. I like it.
Or maybe raise awareness through women but research on men
I think the only viable way to raise awareness is through women's Androgenetic Alopecia. If I understand correctly, the mechanism is the same, - although they do not develop a pattern.. - so researchers can raise money to tackle that and men would benefit from it as well. Right? Or maybe raise awareness through women but research on men
I brought up the crowdfunding idea particularly with regards to Follica and he said the amount necessary is quite large. So I insisted on an actual amount and here's what he said: "US $2 million would bring out a product that would be more effective than Minoxidil and Propecia but would not give a bald person a full head of hair. US $20 million will provide the kind of funding necessary to give someone who is already bald a full head of hair but it will take more years to accomplish".
If someone has ideas on how to solve this problem, he should come forward.
I don't think anybody hates losing hair more than I do, but there SHOULD be more people working on cancer than hairloss. Androgenetic Alopecia sucks, but it's not going to kill you. I find it silly and petty to talk about raising awareness for something that doesn't kill anyone.

I can't almost think of a other condition that is characterized by so many lies, dreams and false promises throughout the years. Can you guys?
Cancer does not affect more people than Hair Loss, not even close! I find it more possible that they discover a câncer cure through hair loss research than directly studying câncer directly, or the other way around. It wound not surprise me at all. That is why I think they should try to cure all sorts of diseases without thinking one is more important than others. We dont value aesthetics because we are taught to. This value is inate, you will value aesthetics anyway, it is your nature that tells you to do it.
People always care more about the diseases they and their loved ones are afflicted with, and think everyone else should too. If you get cancer, you will change your mind. You'll start spending more time looking at the latest cancer research than Androgenetic Alopecia research.
Damn. I'm still waiting for the good news that came out of the conference. If there was any.
You wan't millions of dollars? You go to a bald millionaire that has money to give, convince him he needs hair.
The problem is the bald millionaire can pretty much just buy his way thorough life, be it women, or whatever. He doesn't need hair to impress
Catch-22.
I'm going to comment on what Fred said. Men in general are seen as the more disposable gender. Blame evolution, Men are not seen as valuable as women are. Never will be.
On top of that, we consider being vain a faux-pas for men. We are supposed to be busy with "things more important than our looks" like our careers and whatnot. That's why a guy who is a metrosexual is mocked, a woman who is high maintenance is praised. Unfortunately, women are as vain as men when it comes to looks and finding a mate. So how can they tell us not to be vain?
It's a ****ed up system guys. I wish we had a solution.
Looks are what matters the most in life, people who don't agree with that are delusional.

Sorry to derail the thread a bit, but I have noticed that you often claim to be a hard-gainer. I believe that some people find it, to some degree, harder than others to gain weight, but also believe that any man can pack on some muscle. If you don't want to, fine, but let me tell you that you should not use it as an excuse to not try. Obviously, you have probably tried, but have you truly tried a decent body building programme while being in a caloric surplus? If you progressively overload (get stronger or do more sets and reps) whilst eating (~500kcal) more calories than you need to maintain, you should gain on muscle ( and fat to some degree, depending on the size of the surplus).You can go from fat to fit (or skinny) easily, but sometimes you can't become muscular no matter how hard you try.
As I always say, just exercise regularly and keep a healthy weight.

Take it from a personal trainer who has seen people go from extremely skinny/skinny-fat to jacked.
