Baldness Makes Reddit Front Page - Ends In Failure

[hairblues]

They'll spend it, sure, but since the numbers are lower and the degree to which women lose their hair is lower.. I've never seen a woman with a NW6 full on bald scalp. Again, if the situations were reversed, the push for a cure would be unbelievably greater. Women are constantly scrutinized for their looks, you know first hand how important it is, but severe baldness is rare with women... however with men, it's rampant, but nobody is allowed to give a sh*t about that.

You will NOT see an NW6 woman walking around because MOST of them are wearing wigs--unhappily so.

The consumer is there

we are here

We are not on this site in numbers because unlike me and Pas and EL they are more about hand holding

but huge market is there.

 

[hairblues]

But why would it be some kind of criteria? Aren't you all affected by hair loss on different level. Though, the newby norwood 3 would want a cure even more than a norwood 7.

thats what i was trying to say

not comparing the severity of loss

but even as Mark said a woman thins loses density--thats a market and a demand and that woman is talking to her Dr about 'why' is she losing hair.

So the demand is there. If it was just about demand it of women its there.

My God every womans magazine has like 3 articles about hair loss and thinning blah blah blah.

 

[Marky]

40% of women
50% of women by age 50-

thats minuscule?

Im not comparing the degree of loss.

Im comparing the amount of money women would spend to keep their hair

IF a cure comes about

Don't be shocked if at least 40 % of the market is women who spend money on hair
They may not need it as much as men I'm not debating that
but they will spend it probably more so then men.

40% are showing scalp and wearing wigs or have lost density and cut their hair to some extent since their teen years? Big difference.

Spending money on hair spray and expensive volumizing shampoos from salons styling or wigs and hair transplants? Big difference

Yes thanks for clearing that up, and thats why woman are not associated normally with balding, the way society understands it. While men on the other hand, different story.......

You think a woman who lost 30% density is not going to go spend $30,000 on a treatment to get her hair back?

You are delusional

We spend that on face lifts.

Whats the point of tugging your face back into place if your hair is going to give you away.

Think man.

THAT is not what i even started posting about

Go back and read

Im talking about supply and demand. Simple terms.

 

[hairblues]

Got it. Are you that numerous to have it that bad in your teen years? And how many of you are experiencing menopause, I am curious...
Plus, just a matter of time, trust me. Women are severely balding (pills+ environnment+ evolution = more and more balding women)


Got it. Still, I presume most of you spend on both. Thing is, we are not good candidate for transplant! But more and more are doing FUES even though their scalp is not even showing.

The guys posting are not separating their emotions vs the reality that there is no cure for balding because there isn o cure for balding
its not the market place male vs female
its going to greatly benefit both
And to be honest more individual women with slight hair loss will spend more money (on average ) then men with more signifiant hair loss.
we already do with plastic surgery so what is the difference.

 

[rafiles]

The physicians are so busy with women stuff (because they spend more money), they cannot find any cure for baldness and why try hard to cure baldness, if there is a way to earn easy money by selling cosmetics.

Because men 'aren't supposed to'. We're expected to 'man up' and 'deal with it'... in other words; who cares, shut the f*** up and accept being a bald shitheel.

The case is a lot... LOT different for women. The current crop of products, fancy sprays, etc will do the trick for MOST women, so it's not as big of an issue.

If you had more women balding to the point of looking like this:

You'd get a lot more of a push for a cure. But that's not the case.

That Reddit comment really does speak the truth. And I really wonder if the person who actually ordered it removed is an NW1 who has never ever dealt with the devastation of hair loss before. There have been posts on here, asking if people wished that other people went bald. I wish that everyone went bald, just for a single day, and not because I am malicious at all. Because then all of these people who are not even close to being bald themselves would very personally realize firsthand how devastating hair loss can be. And then they sure as hell would be more empathetic and much less dismissive to hair loss sufferers. And who knows, then comments such as this Reddit one would not be removed.

 

[F2005]

Men are so reluctant to wear a toupee largely because the shame of getting "found out" can be worse than actually being bald. I was at a bar once where a bald guy with a goatee actually started loudly goofing on another guy who was wearing a toupee. At that moment, I would've taken being bic-bald over wearing a wig. Also, toupees are really not a viable solution to hair loss at all since they present so many flaws and drawbacks (the discomfort, the maintenance, the fear of detection, etc.).

Yes whilst there's no doubt it's problematic for both genders, if a man is wearing a toupee it's considered more shameful than a woman wearing a toupee. I mean you see bald men all the time, if you were 'confident' you'd just shave it like them. Whilst a girl being insecure about her looks isn't much of a turnoff for guys, a guy being insecure about his looks is a huge turnoff to girls.

That's the way I see it anyway. Plus the slagging and judgement you'd get from your guy mates.

 

[SmoothSailing]

Well, I think it's more because of that. Women, I think, like when men take care of their looks. I don't think I d be bothered by a man wearing toupee.

Fair enough, at least this is what I felt, so probably quite likely what some other guys also feel, even if it's not true for some women.

I have to say, in all honesty, that I'd be bothered with a woman who wore a wig.

 

[buckthorn]

Thanks to this forum! Hey... see, hair loss is not just bad lol I wanna die
(missed you btw)

What? ok, your english sucks again.

 

[hellouser]

Why are men so reluctant to wear a toupee?

Because we're not allowed. Any evidence of us wearing one is met with open public humiliation, criticism and the usual; man up and deal with being a bald shitheel.

There's no respect for balding men.

 

[Grasshüpfer]

Even though my opinion is quite different from Hellouser, especially regarding woman, I can see where he comes from. I guess he has had a wealth of bad experiences with woman, while most girls are (still) a bit too friendly to me. (Im still on the ok side of diffuse.)

Problem is that being bald is not that big of a deal for all men. Next fast&furious trailer is the best example.

Therefore the though process is that the problem is not the balding itself, but that you are a pathetic beta. Because look at Jason Statham.

It's kind of your fault as gymceilling will undoubtedly turn you into the rock. Problem solved.

Oh i did not see the comments that were removed

I just think it bullshit that it would be cured if women had it

Women have it

And older women are the women with the money to pay for expensive cures

40% of women get hair loss.

I see older women constantly with hair loss.

Older women are the ones paying for cosmetics and treatments that cost money.

50% of women by age 50 have some hair loss.

So i just think this notion of 'if it was happening to women it would be cured' does not make sense from a practical stand point.

When I started losing my hair I started noticing everyone else who lost it including women.

Whenever I get caught looking at a womans balding head I feel so bad because I have been caught staring.

I almost want to say that I wasn't doing it to be mean - we're in the same family

Uhm pretty sure because the people that cure baldness are not the same people to making and selling cosmetics.
