    I'm not going to pursue a project like this if the community is as lazy as it has been.
    I didn't refer to you, because I don't think I ever remember you saying it would be easy. I was referring to this and other posters in the other threads that seem to assume the money is a given and the hard part will be deciding who to fund and getting them to accept it. That's why I quoted the op's last sentence, because he all but assumed we could easily raise 1-5 million dollars like it was nothing.

    It definitely won't be easy. But it DEFINITELY is possible, to say it cant happen and toss the idea aside is ridiculous. We all know nobody gives a shit about our hair loss as society not only disregards it as a problem but also takes advantage of it to mock us and treat themselves to the privilege of considering it socially acceptable to ridicule balding men. That needs to change. A cure for the extreme effing stupidity needs to come just as much as a cure for baldness.

    But only US OURSELVES can do more than the snail paced researchers. So many guys here on the forums are saying 'itll happen in 10 years'... yeah? Well, people were saying that 10+ years ago.. and I dont want to see another 10+ years of my life get crippled by society's shitheads crippling me because of hair loss.

    Our strength is in numbers... the more of us there is, the easier the workload will be for everyone and the easier it will be to reach a greater audience to reach the 6 or 7 figure mark of money collected.

    I never said it was ridiculous or impossible, I just think some people are acting like raising the money is the easy part, when it is the hard part. People don't part with their money very easily and when they do it is only to trusted sources that's all I'm saying. You understand that, but I think some people don't, they think money will rain down from the heavens.

    No, I wasn't referring to you, in fact i dont even really know who i am referring to because I dont usually pay attention to names behind posts. I dont care who posts what, so im being pretty 'general'
