yes you are right, lots of us are waiting for mystery man, he gets many offers
but he spurns most of them, his dating card is full at the moment

122

Hangin…

First off…

  1. Cat got my tongue? LOLOLOL FAR FROM IT young man… Its funny how you have in the oast insulted people about having no lives and posting on here, and how you have a life, but yet you freak out when i didnt respond right away? Did u miss me? Its called that I dont post 3, 4 times a time. I post in the morning and MAYBE at night if the mood strikes me.

  2. Dating card full??? Maybe… if I was a shallow, conceided A-Hole… I have someone in my life who was there for me when I had absolutely nothing (in many more ways than one), and I have never at any point disrespected them by having a full dating card. I am a man of respect and honor.

  3. Dude… theses links you kindly provided us still dont prove that you are NOT AN ARMANI HATER… I never at any point said that you had something against ME, but ARMANI… I mean the first link you provided you bash work of ARMANI LOLOLOLOLOL and the second was FAR FROM A TYPICAL HANGIN response…

I mean do you remember IN THIS THREAD when you said that Armani DOESNT ADVISE HIS PATIENTS of future needs and future transplants??? You see thats what I mean, Personal attacks… How do you come to these closed ended judgments on Armani? and WHY?

He does phenomial work… BEYOND top customer service, great employees, INCREDIBLE artist (in both the field of HT’s and his photography), very charming man on a personal level, well articulated and marketed company, great company image and design…

What is it man?
Why do you dislike his person so much?
Why is it that I have yet to see you attack any other doctors person before? Or their ethics?

Once again bad experience?
Heard stuff?
If so from whom?

And of course…

AGAIN… WHY ARE YOU HERE???

Are you looking for an HT?
Have you had one?
Getting one?
If so with who?

Why dont you contribute some positive things to this board and if you so wish to continue being negative and bitter that is your choice and I encourage it… But where is your credability? huh? Why are you credible? What is your motives for being here?

And once again man… “Be Cool!”

Cheers

MoM

123

Never Again…

Well said man…

I still cant figure out how 2000 grafts is aggressive either lol

We have already proved that the estimate of 2000 grafts being 30% of donor area is completely absurd hence no issues at all…

You mentioned it being FUE and not FUSS and that means no grafts needed to fill in the scar… on average how many grafts just to fill in a scar for a FUSS procedure of 2000 grafts?

Cheers

MJ2003;

I appreciate and respect your opinion…

However something doesnt seem right with him…

The red flag that went up ion my opinion was him stating that ARMANI DOESN NOT WARN his patients about the future…

I mean thats not a opinion but a closed statment.

Why? I mean thats plainly an attack on his business practice and not the results he gets…

Just my $0.02

Cheers man

Ummmmm…

Ugh…

I dunno what to say I mean, obviously looks and image matter a great deal, whoever says they dont is wrong. Ill give you a small example…

Before I got my transplant, I walked into a Mercedes Dealership (before I went bankrupt because of my parter taking out a mortage under my name) to look for my first ever Mercedes.

I was 25/26 at the time and I at the time had a 2003 VW Jetta Turbo, with all the trimmings, 17inch perfomace mags, leather, roof etc… Not bad for a kid out of university and still in debt with no mommy and daddy help mind you…

Obviously I walk in, no one pays me any minds because im young and in a 35000$ car what make them think i can afford a 75000$ car (i was looking at the ML 350). Long buying part made short… I bought the truck with the manager because no one would serve me…

Fast forward to today… right before my transplant I was balding/thinning very much as you all saw… when i would get out of my car (which is now my second ML), people would treat me like its my moms or dads, No matter how i was dressed (even though youd figure that balding mean you are older somewhat lololol).

I get a transplant… and now even in my gym clothes sweating bullets, I get people in competing high end brand or even the same one asking me if I enjoy ownership of my vehicle…

Looks matter… At a younger age… Looks greatly matter, positive and striong mindset GREATLY MATTER. I exude a confidence now that i didnt have 2 years ago but did have 6 years ago.

I know this story isnt 100% clear but if youd live in my before and after shoes youd understand…

Its not just the looks, its the feeling you have for yourself… that x factor if you will.

The way you carry yourself… Because I can tell you this…

I am a highly educated man… a sales ANIMAL, i am told a fantastic producer, a honorable businessman and a man of respect, but what I feel like today… the way that i present myself, ISNT IN THE SAME UNIVERSE as to where i was mentally and physically before my transplant.

But none of that matters as much as the way you carry yourself and respect yourself… and for me… my inner strength comes from my outside… insult me (which Hangin will do inevitably) but we are all differernt. And in my youth, without millions (yet), thats whereI harness my strength.

When I get older, my looks wont be as important to me, because my strength and confidence will come from other places… Life experience, busienss experience, relationship expereicne, and the things taht are really important that make change… thats later, this is now…

Yes looks are important… but its so much more…

Cheers

MoM

LOL @ CLAY!!!

I would go as far to call him an A-Hole but he is a very “special” person…

Hey Hangin… Im curious…

Whats ur status once again…

Looking for an HT?
Had on done?
Happy? Botched?
Which Dr. if so?
Why are you here?
What info are you looking for?
Have any pics of your situation?

Cheers

MoM

Might I also add a comment that I heard on one of the videos.

It was a doctor that received a hair transplant and compared a nice head of hair to a balding man by using terms like “healthier looking”

I like that… Being someone ona very very strict regime of intense weightlifing and cardio… I have to admit that nice hair does give an image of health…

Im not saying some some baling men in great shape dont give off a similar image… however would I be off by saying that if two men, average shape, average build, identical in looks but one was balding and one wasnt, that one would be inclined to chose that one that wasnt?

I think that there are not that many men that would excude that confient, and health and string look while bald (its a hard look to pull off)

I mean I know some CA’s that are overweight but they have this thick beautiful hair and i dunno, it works! Now i try to image him bald or balding and i dunno, it would just look “uncomfortable”

Hey Everyone…

I just found some more AFTER PICTURES in DIFFERENT ANGLES AND CLOSE UPS to share with you …

Let me know what you all think…

Im still in the process of making my website WITH FULL BEFORE, PRE OP, POST OP and more 2 years AFTER SHOTS… Stay tuned!

Cheers!!!

I understand about the inner confidence thing with hair,

perhaps the guys who succeed despite being bald as a cueball, have some other qualities that far outweigh their appearance, they have a personality, and vigor , perhaps a commanding voice, voice plays a bigger part of commanding respect than most people realize.

Try looking at a movie and see who they chose to play a general or a colonel in the military. Invariably it is some guy with a commanding gravely voice, that commands respect. Hair does not come into the picture

when i make statements that these guys have succeeded despite their hair, and are bald billionaires. This is true, obviously, because they are what they are.

However , if guys on the board want to disagree with that premise, they should give a logical rebuttal, Much like I just did.

The major reason that I think you are saying that hair is important, is not that it is important necessarily in a general sense in society, but if it is important to YOU and YOUR SELF CONFIDENCE is improved with hair, then in your life it makes a huge difference.

Sometimes i think back when i first started thinning at 21 yrs old and I think yes i thought the exact same way, so i definitely know where guys are coming from , from the 20 something panic you experience from thinning .

130

Mom, the bottom line is that you look great and that you are happy. That is all that should really matter.

HangingInThere, are you going to RTC’s annual BBQ? Swagger,PleaseGrowPlease and the whole team are gonna be there.:wink:

I think we all agree Hanging, hair does not make you the person you are. And of course there are many many successfull men out there who have thinning or have lost their hair. A bald person is in no way a lesser person then a guy with a great head of hair.

BUT, if thinning hair bothers someone, and that person has the funds to have it fixed with a procedure, such as MAN OF MYSTERY then more power to him.

Instead of sulking about his hairloss, instead of thinking “Why me”, he took initiative and had his hair restored. He looks great.

132

“A bald person is in no way a lesser person then a guy with a great head of hair”

Its so true but actually very hard to realise that sometimes… baldness seems to be a major confidence destroyer & its very easy to think negative…

Fair play to MOM for sharing his detailed reasons & thought process behind his procedure on here…
It would be nice to see a few more really detailed threads like this.

Thats actually not what I was responding to, but I quoted that post, my mistake. I was talking about your need to come on here and tell a guy who seems happy about his transplant how he was going to go bald around it and look awful. I was talking about your need to make other people feel bad, not your CEO argument.

my intention is not to purposely make the person feel bad, and I do not think a person happy with his transplant, as MOM is, Sits around worrying about what I think about .

My intention in the posts with the guys using up all the grafts is to offer an opposing view.
99 percent of the responses to successes like his look at the before and after and say HEY LOOKS FANTASTIC, CONGRATS,
they dont consider what might happen in the future

a lot of guys on the board are considering transplants and trying to make up their minds. Not all have had them already

I realize most wont listen to what I say anyways, but I have a right to my opinion.

The only reason that it gets so overblown, is once i posted my opinion on MOMs results, 1000 guys chime in with their conspiracy theories, etc,

if nobody had responded to my post, it would have just sat there and blown away with the wind

Even when I posted a major reason for my skepticism, the doctor who had
been highly respected in Denver who quit the profession in disgust and sent me
a letter detailing the reasons why, which was that most of his patients from 10 yrs ago had lost so much hair that he could not help them at this point. and at the time of the procedure they had looked fantastic…

this is a true story

so MOM comes on and says that this surgeon BOTCHED the surgeries, which is totally ludicrous, he never even saw any of the guys work. that kind of BS
is worse than any statments I have made. I do not come on the board saying this doc is a bad doc, I say that I am sure the patient pushes the doc to have such a thick hairline. But I also think there are docs out there who certainly would not discourage a guy from getting a very thick frontal hairline and using up 40 percent of his grafts in the process.

You really cannot blame the doc, or the patient solely. It seems like they both are happy because the result looks so amazing.

All i have stated in my posts is, if these guys later go to nw6 or 7 they are totally screwed and will be no way able to fix the future balding with transplants, and will be forced to shave their heads to avoid looking odd

this is a fact
I know most guys want to believe it will never happen to them , but
i feel 99 percent of posters choose to wear blinders to this possibility.

Seriously, this is getting absolutely ridculous now. First the HM forum, and now the transplant forum. This guy is obviously a troll, and keeps on blatently causing arguments. It’s obvious his agenda isn’t his opinion on hair transplants/hm but the agenda he has with almost everyone on this board. This is so childish. this board would be so much more civil and balanced if this guy was banned.

Honestly Hangin, you have stated your point and your conerns more then once. It’s time to stop making this thread about you.

You are a waste of time, that proves nothing, if anything it goes to show that you are being asked to attack competing doctors, which make perfect sense, why would someone only ask you to attack just one particular doctor and nobody else, use your brain !

138

What I find to be utterly ridiculous is how long this thread is AND why hairsite allows it to continue.

Lock the thread, and let’s move on.

139

MOM, this is one of the better final results I’ve seen…I echo others sentiments, you can literally see your confidence jump out of your after pics. Very happy for you my fellow Armani patient!

140

What’s his status? He is an attention whore, troll. The more you talk to him the more it feeds into his ego. He does it to the HM board all the time and now he is doing it here, spreads like a virus.
