Hair loss research needs to be a TOP priority

[Tracy C]

Living to 100 years old with andro alopecia is not living....

Most of those diseases do not have the same social stigma as hair loss...

Social stigma only affects you if you allow it to do so. Get your head right. Treat it if you can and move on to live your life to the fullest. Millions of men have done so for thousands of years. So can you.

Social stigma affects how other people treat you & this does affect you, keeping a positive attitude does not change that. How can you go from being admired to being pitied (or reviled)? when you know what one is like, the other side is death
I think you have said before, men who are 15 years younger than you approach you. How does that make you feel? Vs how you felt before you treated your hair loss when you were depressed/isolated? You know the difference. Humans need social validation to be healthy just like they need food, water, sleep

I don't know why women get so happy when men approach them, when all they want is sex with them, regardless of whether a woman is fat, old or ugly.

It's validation. That's why if you're too quick to fully validate them right away -- as if they're on a pedestal -- you're dead in the water. They'll seek something bigger and see if they can get validation from a dude up the ladder.

Literally BILLIONS of people suffer from this condition. It is extremely socially debilitating & psychologically traumatizing.

Get your f*cking priorities straight

I completely agree with this statement. Ive heard the same exact thing said about acne but Ive never heard anyone say it about baldness.

AIDS, Leukemia, cancer, Heart Attack and Stroke, Diabetes, Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's Disease, Muscular Dystrophy and countless others will ALWAYS trump baldness because these are life threatening killer diseases that take people of all ages to the grave.

I'd rather have any of those, except muscular dystrophy, than baldness. At least society still treats you with respect when you have those other diseases. Hell, you'll even get sympathy. Out of curiousity, how many men kill themselves every year because they are tired of being socially isolated and tired of being treated like they are less than a dog because of hairloss.

Bingo!

Although I like my look even with a bald head, I agree with you. Unlike me, some men's looks are totally destroyed by baldness. And it doesn't seem to be that much difficult to treat even. There should had been a cure already, but since its not a priority for them, unfortunately, we still don't have any yet.

These doctors need to get off their lazy asses. There should be a cure by now.

Yes, being treated like a dog only affects you if you allow it to do so. You're a man so your expected to just suck it up and live with it. Of course, if it was a woman being treated this way due to some aspect of her looks it would be totally unacceptable. Society would never put up with that.
