first of all, this is just a horrible ad. who creates this crap? We all are well aware that there is absolutely no sympathy for men with Androgenetic Alopecia, none. I don't know if it's different outside of the United States, but I doubt it. I have talked to so many people about how this disease mentally plagues me. aside from this forum, there is one man that understands and only because he is mentally suffering like myself, and open to discuss. You have those two factors, and yes, you will get sympathy and an open ear. There will never be a woman in your life that will give you sympathy, because they don't possess these two factors. 90% of men will not give you it, not because they don't have Androgenetic Alopecia, but because they are not open to discuss. It's a stigma that we have to man up and simply face everything. Gaining weight? Try having an emotional conversation about this being a man. Being a woman? Sure, you will get all ears open. Losing hair? Hell, if you're a woman and you accidentally dye your beautiful thick hair the wrong color, flocks of women will be crying at your feet with sympathy. You're a man? You disfigure yourself with a hair transplant, then lose what you have left and the entire top of your scalp looks weird as hell? "dude, just shave it"..."own it"..."wear a hat"... "here's a picture of a man with alopecia areata, look you don't have it that bad". F*cking hypocrites. The whole lot of them.
