As I flip through old old posts in the general hairloss forums, It would seem people were much more friendly towards eachother, generally expressing a much more tolerant and helpful atmosphere. It seems many people around now are intent on ripping eachother down.


Stop the hate my brothers...

We're all in this together.

...and many others. Now the forum is populated by a new generation of posters.

That is why I don't post here too often anymore. There is so much b.s going on here.

I think the reason is: Everything that could be said has been said.
All the topics here have been discussed a thousand times before (except celebrity hairstyles)

Yep, I've only been posting for a month or so and the same topics seem to regurgitate daily.

I think some guys haven't heard what they hope to hear so they keep asking. Others are so obsessed that they seek approval for the way they're cutting proscar pills. Some are impatient and begin grasping at straws. Others are just too lazy to do a search to see if their question has been answered before.

That being said, I know the forum provides a lot of comfort to some guys who'd otherwise keep their concerns bottled up. I just wish more would realize that their lack of hair doesn't prevent them from living normal lives. I see a lot of irrational minds here, and that causes me pause. A lot of time and associated opportunity is being burned in self-imposed misery.

bullsh*t

Radio added some much needed humor and wit and actually knew when it was appropriate to use it. Now we have loads and loads of Newbies, who no very little and achieve very little and seem only to scare each other.

SE Freak was probably the most knowledgeable poster on here and was actually offered the chance to be a moderator.

I agree. SE Freak was very helpful with newbies. I admired his confidence. Newbies come on scare each other and then run off.

Guys...

There is Bryan, Bismark, S. Foote, Cassin, Gardner, Petchsky, and more that are here that are awsome when it comes to information. I think everyone gets busy in their life and people tend to do their own thing and maybe not pop in as much

But as far as the mood here, I will be honest, Gunner usually depressed the hell out of so many of us when all he would do is complain...his fairy tale stories he would make up are not personal favorites of mine and im not reffering to that, im talkimg about the fact that he was/is a very negative guy when it comes to it...


I think if all the seasoned posters "continue" to educate the new ones this site will continue to be a positive overall

You know, all of you guys who are complaining could, maybe for example, start helping people by sharing solid, logical, accurate information with all the newbies. Or you could just keep complaining. :)

Your choice.

It´s not only for the info, it´s the fun of it.


You know, not so long ago the forum was a lot more interesting to read. I know this is not made with the finality of giving the first chance to stand-up comedians, but I enjoyed the fun (Gunner, Radio, Gardener...) mixed with hair loss strict matters. Also the soap opera stuff with the love-hate threads was enjoyable. Maybe not adequate, but still quite enjoyable.

Besides of that, I´m not saying mods or gourmetstylewellness.com are culprit, it´s not your fault, and also, you are doing a great job with the site, specially since lawsuits and that disgusting stuff is being involved. Not for just dick sucking, but becouse I feel it´s necessary to say it.

What amazes me most is the negativity of newbies. I mean, if you are in a hair loss forum, it indicates that you are somewhat facing the problem, going to the treatments in order to improve or at least not lose more ground. But some people, even before starting treatment, complain a lot, claim to heaven "Why me?" and state as a fact that they are condemned to a higher norwood level, and, as a consecuence, death in loneliness and poverty. Specially when we are seeing the many success stories, last one: SE-freak.
Also people throw rubbish one each other with summun despair, I think this one is what cook´nmilkies was talking about, discouraging every chance of logical behaviour. And having courage is the key here, as treatments take so long to work, after an apparently useless routine and money waste.

The solution, IMO, is not putting a sticky in the forum area. A mentality change is needed in those who are approaching the hair loss treatments these days. And this only can be done by the mind user. The information, facts and myths are already clearly stated in the gourmetstylewellness.com web.

Yeah solo. If I can get serious for a minute, it's always been this way. When I say "man, I've seen this sh*t before," I'm not saying it to boast. I'm saying it because it's true to the point of being sad. I've identified 3 types of "negative" posters in my time here.

1. Some people who post are truly miserable, and too often, want others to share in that misery. Things seem hopeless to them, and they try to impart that on to others. They're terrified, and they can't handle the thought of someone else not being terrified. These are the guys who put up paniced, OMG I'VE BEEN SHEDDING FOR 10 MONTHS I'VE LOST 90% OF MY DENSITY posts. There's a weird sense of self-love mixed with self-loathing from these posters.

2. Other posters have redefined arrogance. There have been people that would adamantly maintain that 2+3=29, simply because they're too cocky to conced fault, no matter how much proof there is otherwise. These are generally the types that spread grotesque misinformation around, like masterbation leading to hair loss. You give a guy with a big ego a zero-consequences platform, things are going to get ugly.

3. The final group is what I call the anger management group. These guys are so infuriated that they are losing hair that they do and say crazy sh*t. It sucks so bad to be them that the rest of the world has to suffer with them. These are the guys who generally say the proven treatments don't work, amongst other things.

There are also combination posters, or posters that have all three traits. Either way, it sucks.

Also keep in mind that nothing ever changes here. Just the name of the posters. But it's all the same crap.
