What do you think it'll feel like?

[Follisket]

Yeah, I bet you thought this was going to be your usual baldness cure fantasy circlejerk. Not happening.

Instead, I was wondering what you think it'll feel like, years from now, once you've balded beyond repair and science finally produces a safe and effective means of hair loss prevention -- while flippantly shrugging off the baldies and any significant regrowth? Because - oh, yeah, suddenly everyone is mega clear on the impossibility of reversal and the importance of maintenance and you ... well - it's only a matter of a few more years before you off yourself in misery and leave the fullheads in peace anyway.

What will it be like; just barely missing the train and being one of the last few people with this disfigurement - one of the last few fuglies? Do you think we'll still be so proudly zen, defending our past meekness, patience and faked indifference? How will we deal with the gut-wrenching realization that we should have fought harder while there was still a chance? In fact, how do you even deal with thinking about it now?

That didn't make a lot of sense.

If a maintenance cure was made available and I was beyond repair, I would most likely feel like ****.

While hair transplants are far from an actual "cure", they seem to be the only viable option for guys who are destined to be NW4+. I see you refer to balding as a disfigurement, in spite of the fact that (a) hair transplantation is on option, (b) there is mounting scientific interest in the field of hair loss. Instead of being so pessimistic about what is going on, why not save up the cash to get a hair transplant or dedicate some of your time to researching hair loss and trying to understand it. I might not be a hair loss expert, but with enough determination [and collaboration] I believe that the possibilities for us are endless. We're not motivated by money, instead we're driven by this seemingly inevitable dark future of "disfigurement".

I know what you're saying man. Won't be cool .. Won't be cool at all ..

This **** is the worst.

Got to hope I'm still salvageable with a transplant by the time a new maintenance treatment comes along. I hope one of Replicel/Histogen/SM pull through but I'm doubtful.

Pissed off that it wasn't sooner.
