    If baldness only affected Women, do you think we would have a cure by now?

    Its ridiculous and outrageous that as of 2013, not only do we not have a cure, but all these companies are taking there sweet as time to find one.

    Why is that finding a cure for male pattern baldness is not taken seriously?

    Is it because it mostly affects men?

    For **** sakes, COSMO is doing clinical trials for an acne medication which affects women and men (we already have effective treatments for acne), before coming out with a treatment for male pattern baldness.

    Are men not considered human?

    Gaurantee you if MPB only affected women, we would have rallies and fund raiser marathons, support ribbons and lobbying to find a cure.

    Nope.

    How about Alopecia Areata? It affects women and children as well as men. Where is the advancement in Alopecia Areata? How come we are able to treat MPB better than Alopecia Areata?

    There are no FDA approved medications for AA, there are no experimental medications equal to RU or CB for AA sufferers. There are no HT's for AA sufferers.

    Could it be that it's just that damn hard to figure out the puzzle of MPB?

      Almost verbatim to one of my posts expressing this. I truly believe this. I truly in my heart believe that if it were the other way round and if in a parallel universe females had this disease, there would be a cure already.

      I know for a fact that the best and cleverest scientists of our generation are not working on a cure for this disease. You are totally correct that there would be all kinds of uproars forcing a cure to be found were it the other way around.

        At the very least, there would be more awareness and acceptance of it, not to mention better treatments.

          Because it is not life threatening and it does not need to affect the quality of a mans life. It only affects the quality of a mans life if he allows it to do so. The truth is most men are not so bothered by their hair loss as the members of this forum are. Most men simply don't care about it.

          If it only affected women, there would be a cure by now - because hair loss DOES affect the quality of life of a woman - whether she allows it to do so or not. That is reality.

            The above post is so hypocritical to the point of ridiculous. Not to mention extremely insulting.

              It is not hypocritical at all. If you find it insulting that's your problem. Just as the way you are refusing to cope and get on with your life because of your hair loss is your problem. Grow up!!!

                  Read through your post and evaluate what you have just said. You probably know this already though. It sounds like something a feminist would say. Just being born a man in today's society puts you at a disadvantage and the baldness is the icing on the poison cupcake.

                    Maybe because most men didn't have to go through hair loss in their late teens and early 20s like most of the forum members.

                    Of course, if your hair loss starts at age 35+, you'd have probably had most of the fun you'll ever have in life, and have probably settled down already by your late 20s-early 30s.

                    Any balding man you see with a hat, then it definitely bothers him. He doesn't want to show his unattractive head around.

                        Or he doesn't want to get sunburnt...

                        Or maybe he just likes hats...

                          Because there are more serious crap out there like cancer. Being bald won't kill you but there are plenty of other genetic issues that will.

                          Men bald most of the time due to testosterone and dht-something we all have. Women bald for a lot of different reasons so I think it would take longer to address.

                            It would only be ridiculous to a person who is far from reasonable and does not posses even an ounce of sense... A person like you for example.

                              The delusion in this thread is pretty remarkable! To think there are multiple people here who actually believe that being a man, you know the sex that as pretty much dominated the world from the dawn of man until present day, is a "disadvantage" is pretty unbelievable.
