Final Days: Chinese Scientists Have Solved the DP Culturing Problem! (2014)

[hellouser]

They were so many companies doing commercials and other tidbits on local and national T.V. and radio that slighted bald MEN that The American Hair Loss Council" created a form letter to scold these companies because they were having to send out these letter so often that they got tired of typing new letters every-time a company put out some ad or something that insulted bald people. It was common. That was about 10 years ago.

It's probably still going on but I don't see it anymore because I don't watch TV anymore. I'm on the internet or renting movies for my entertainment. I don't even have Dish or direct TV or any of those TV channels. I get my news and my entertainment by renting movies and surfing the internet.

It's still happening. Old Spice is running a campaign for their shampoos which implies that:

hair = success
no hair = failure

Here's the commercial:

It's because society has made it clear that balding men don't deserve the respect they should.

You're the one who's right.

People are actually comfortable with it to rub bald MEN's noses in it that they've lost their hair. Grown ups do it right out in public with no shame. They don't do it to me but that's because I keep to myself. And it's not just the blue-collar folks, or the lowlife's and loudmouths, or the dumb people who are doing the ridiculing of bald people - it's professional people as well. It cuts across socio-economic lines, races, religion, everything. People with hair are totally comfortable with ridiculing bald people and rubbing their noses in it that they're bald.

Keep in mind that baldness is a disfigurement. So what's going on is that the people not dealing with it are rubbing our noses in it that we're disfigurement and our lives are damaged because of that disfigurement.

I suppose Canada is not an uncultured country, i don't believe that somebody underestimate someone cause of this situation, it's all in your mind.
I was until my 28 full of hair and now i am close to NW3 and i'm getting better with women i have lost many women from bald guys you are racist about baldness, you need to improve your personality.

Hellouser's right.

You're wrong.

[nameless]

Hmm I didn't think Toronto was artificial like that, well then only you can change your mindset, they sure as hell aren't going to change. I live in Scotland you see....quite a different story. Lot's of bald guys, short guys, ugly people, everyone's pale and a lot of the Scottish girls are usually orange with fake tan!!! haha Maybe you should move here?

You're the one who's wrong and Hellouser's the one who's right.

I don't know if The American Hair Loss Council" is still in existence but there used to be an organization people could call about their hair loss called "the American Hair Loss Council. It was located in Texas. They were not a support group. All they did was give factual information to sufferers about their options and they talked to the press about hair loss news.

They were so many companies doing commercials and other tidbits on local and national T.V. and radio that slighted bald MEN that The American Hair Loss Council" created a form letter to scold these companies because they were having to send out these letter so often that they got tired of typing new letters every-time a company put out some ad or something that insulted bald people.

Hellouser's right! There is widespread open public insulting of bald men in America. People feel comfortable insulting bald men and they feel comfortable insulting men who want their hair back or who get their hair back.

And the same blowhards who are insulting us now will be in this forums asking for information to get their own hair back if they look in the mirror tomorrow morning and notice they're losing their hair. They're hypocrites.

Although I like reading everybody's opinions, but please try to stay on topic.

This thread is about DP cells, and how they are able to be cultured. So they say.

[hellouser]

I think all of us should have a 2 year plan. Mine was shave it off to see how that fit me. I looked like an x-con and don't get me started with my ears. Next step was meds for a year then a HT if that went well. I'm little over 1 year. Hope in a few Months things will be better. I was on the fence about a HT till Welker came out of the closest. Hats off to him.

None of us should have to have a 2 year plan. It should be a cure. Period.

Agreed. I feel for you guys that can't cope, but you need to get a shrink (especially hellouser.) I've never once heard someone talk shit about someone else being bald. of course people notice it, but it definitely has never made any of my friends lose respect. Three of my friends are completely bald, all are married and happy and among the most respected people I know. Sure, hair looks good, but bald guys often look great to women, I know lots of girls who have fallen in love with bald guys (including my ex, who married one). The whole point is that if you think society is out to get you because you're bald, then you have serious issues. society as a whole looks at baldness as something natural and common. If your experience is different then you should maybe move cities or change friends or just get therapy, because you sound like a crazy person.

vis a vis movie stars, yes that's maybe the ONE career where going bald might change your chances or stop you from success. but it can just as easily make you even more hire-able. bruce willis would be a pretty average looking joe with hair. look at that dude mark strong, he had garbage roles before he went bald and now he's doing great, and also popular with women. If anyone is helping villify bald people, it's people like hellouser who advertise this idea that bald men are crippled.

None of us likes going bald, but it sure as hell isnt going to make me less respected. and if you base your worth on how much women find you attractive then you're pretty pathetic. Especially cause as you get older, the only thing women really care about is whether you can take care of them and make them laugh. 90% of men lose their hair, and women know this. Women's breasts sag, their asses get fat, their faces get wrinkled, and their hair gets worse too. They know this also, and are looking for a man who is comfortable with the way that life changes us, and has the confidence to not give a damn if his hair falls out.

All that being said, it would obviously be really cool to have a way to not be bald if you don't want to be, which is why it's good to support the people that are working on that. let's keep this thread on point, and hellouser go get some professional psychiatric help dude, i'm worried about you and you need it.

The fact is: Having hair is more attractive than not having hair, almost all the time.

This is correct, but what is worse is a balding guy. When I meet a balding guy I see him as a follower and weak. When I meet a guy with a shaved head and you can tell he works out I take notice. When I meet a guy with a full head of hair styled to fit his head and body I think that lucky bastard.

I hate all of this "Just shave it! It's all about your attitude, I know a NW6 guy who gets loads of girls and a NW1 who doesn't". Those situations are the exception. It's all completely irrelevant bullshit coping tactics.

Instead of lying to ourselves and saying "yeah but look at Vin Diesel!", let's try to fix the problem and find better ways of dealing with it.

Yep, like an actual cure rather than some crap hair transplant with limited donor.

Nicely said.

[HairBane]

A successful actor headed toward a Norwood 6 can afford a transplant or an extremely realistic hair piece if they're so inclined. I have a friend who is decent looking with a full head of hair. He is in his fifties and has had one girlfriend his entire life because his voice drones pity and despair. Another friend is a Norwood 6. He is about 5'7" and shaves his head. He has a positive attitude and is a good talker. Women love him. I remember one time his ex was giving him grief. He went out the next morning to meet women and by the end of the day, he showed me around six women texting him, wanting to get together for either dinner or a movie. One time he and I went to a Starbucks and the good looking lady behind the counter gave him a gift. She was in love.

Sure many young women prefer hair on their guys. As you mature things change for the better with the right attitude.

Hmm I didn't think Toronto was artificial like that, well then only you can change your mindset, they sure as hell aren't going to change. I live in Scotland you see....quite a different story. Lot's of bald guys, short guys, ugly people, everyone's pale and a lot of the Scottish girls are usually orange with fake tan!!! haha Maybe you should move here?

[hellouser]

I don't get where you're even getting this whole 'Society treats bald guys like shit' attitude from? Do you live in the states? I never notice this going on AT ALL! I'm being serious. And I've never looked at a bald guy even before I started losing my hair and been like 'this guy deserves less respect'.

I live in Canada... Toronto, more specifically, an incredibly career driven superficial city filled with hypergamous whores. Someone once said baldness is STRIKE ONE in the beauty department... the others are obesity and shortness.

But if you haven't noticed it, I envy you. I'm far too attentive not to see how people perceive things.
