Hair loss in women is more common than ever before. Even though hair loss happens to every woman, it can be sped up in several ways. One of the most common causes of hair loss in women is hormonal changes. These changes can be brought about by pregnancy, menopause, or even coming off of birth control pills. Anything that may cause hormonal changes can cause hair loss in women. The different causes of hair loss each have varying degrees of hair loss.

The big difference between hair loss in women and hair loss in men is the pattern in which it happens. A man usually starts off with a receding hair line followed by the thinning of the hair. Over time, a man eventually loses everything.

The pattern of hair loss in women is slightly different. Even though it is common for hair loss in women and men to happen at the same age, it does not follow the same pattern. Women do not typically lose all of their hair like men. Hair loss in women is usually accompanied by gradual thinning, but almost never complete hair loss. This is easily noticeable over the years. Many women use wigs or similar items to hide the hair loss. My own mother used a wig to cover up the fact that her hair is thinning by quite a bit.

Hair loss in women can be combated with a product similar to Rogaine for men. It is called Propecia and has been clinically proven to help slow down hair loss. Propecia works by controlling the hormones that shrink hair follicles. Propecia for women has about the same success rate as Rogaine for men. This is a treatment worth considering if your professional concurs.

Just as in men, hair loss in women can also be combated by topical solutions and natural remedies. Though not as common, women may also receive hair transplantation surgery. Most of the time, surgery is not necessary in women as they do not lose all of their hair.

Hair loss in women can be treated. If you are experiencing this problem, it would be in your best interest to contact your family doctor or an experienced professional to get an initial assessment before you take action. The causes vary and you need the advice of a professional to determine if you need a particular treatment or maybe something as simple as a change in habits could be the cause.

DEFINITIONS

Caring - Being concerned about outcomes; paying just enough attention but not too much; to feel trouble or anxiety; to feel interest or concern. To overlook the progress of others and projects, but to have faith and confidence in other people to look after themselves and do things well enough.

Caring too much - Being too concerned about outcomes; paying too much attention; feeling too troubled or anxious; feeling overly concerned; not believing other people are competent and capable. Hovering over them and transmitting your anxiety to them so they become dysfunctional.

COMPARISONS

Supervising a project vs. Hovering over the person

Being concerned about someone and interested in the outcome vs. Worrying anxiously over someone and trying to take over.

Managing vs. Controlling

Transmitting emotions of confidence and self-assurance v. Transmitting fear, worry and anxiety

EXAMPLE

Alice cared about the outcome of the project and made herself available to the team for input and supervision. She had high emotional intelligence and was flexible and creative in planning and outcomes. She delegated easily and well. Because of this, the team worked well, and had the stamina to finish in style with plenty of energy left over for the next project. Everyone enjoyed working with Alice because she brought out the best in them and they built their self-esteem by completing successful projects.

Harry was overly concerned about the project. He was critical and demanding of himself and others and had low emotional intelligence. He could not be satisfied with less than perfection and drove himself and others. He hovered over everyone which destroyed their self-confidence, confused them, and pulled their focus away from the work. His worry caused them to worry and undermined their self-confidence. As the “primal leader,” he transmitted his anxiety to others. Every team and project he drove this way became cynical, insecure, exhausted and burnt out. No one wanted to work with him or under him, and the best people would transfer out of his department. Eventually he was fired.

KEY POINT

When you become overly concerned and caring, you cross a line into what’s called an overdriven striving. You focus on it too much and can affect your own thinking and functioning, as well as that of others. You demand too much and usually get too little. It’s exhausting to everyone concerned.

BENEFITS

We are truly helpful to ourselves and to others when care enough, but not too much. It’s important to have faith and confidence in others, and give them room to breathe, grow and blossom.

RELATED DISTINCTIONS

Managing vs. Controlling

Overseeing vs. Hovering

Having faith in others v. Having faith only in yourself

So your having a hard time turning your visitors into posters And have no idea how to get your forum going? Well, if your someone with that problem and want things to change, look no further. In this article I will teach you different ways to encourage visitors to join your forum.

1) Help New Members feel Comfortable Things such as the terms of service or the rules should be easy to find and not hidden two or three pages away. Lead by example and have all the staff and moderators do the same. This way they already have know what the rules and don’t have to worry about braking some rule.

Have an Introduction area in your forum for your new members and make sure you or someone else in the forums welcomes them, this always makes them feel more welcomed and not so much as an outsider.

2) Top People in the Field post at the forum - If you can get one or more well respected people in your topic area to post it will make it look more professional. When visitors see this they will think that the forum must be good or why would someone respected like that post there.

3) Having the right mix of posters - It’s important to have both professionals and new members. The new members will ask the questions, while the professionals can answer them and discuss new and big things happening on your topic.

4) Contest - An other way to get visitors to become posters is by using contests. For example you could run a contest that would give the first ten new members to post 100 messages wins 30 dollars, game, software, etc. Bring out the worst in some members, so they can get the prize. It can make your forum look terrible. So make sure you make it clear that it must be quality post and don’t do this often.

5) RSS feed - Allow other web sites to put your web site’s forum most resent posts on their site though RSS feeds, it doesn’t even have to be the most resent post, you can allow them to set it up how ever they like. This is a great way to get links and to build you targeted traffic. You’ll find on those controversial subjects will generate many new members.

6) No one wants to be first - Let’s face it, no one posts on a forum that is empty, they feel like they are talking to their self (We do that to much as it already is). Make sure you signup with different nicknames and post. Try to add about five everyday, you don’t need 100s of nicknames to do this. Also don’t post the same thing to much, make it look new and try to post on controversial subjects.

Astrology can be a very complex science. There are a great deal
of aspects to consider when determining compatibility between
two signs. One of the best, easiest, and often overlooked way to
see if two signs are compatible is by simply understanding the
elements.

There are four elements, and each one is attributed to three
specific signs. They are as follows:

Fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Air: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Earth: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Water: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Now each of the elements have certain characteristics, and I’ll
give you a brief summary of what those are.

Fire: Positive, Assertive, Determined, Active

Air: Social, Intelligent, Doers, Communicators

Earth: Stable, Enduring, Structured, Introverted

Water: Passive, Receptive, Reactive, Intuitive

It’s possible that you are beginning to understand which
elements are the most likely to blend well together. As a
“general” rule, when dealing with the elements, Fire mixes with
Air, and Earth mixes with Water. I know it seems far too
general, and much too simple to be taken seriously, but in my
experience this has been a solid foundation in considering
compatibility time, and time again. If your a casual Astrology
fan, and calculating planetary aspects between two people’s
charts is not your bag, then this is an much simpler formula you
can incorporate. You’ll find that it sells itself in the end.
You can also get insights as to why you are most attracted to
certain types of people, when the “general” rule does not seem
to apply to you specifically. Of course, a chart would most
definitely compliment this, because you would be able to see
just why you might find yourself leaning towards a certain type.
For instance, my personal chart does not contain a single earth
element, and therefore, I often find myself drawn to the earthy
signs. There are many ways to use this knowledge, and you just
might get a better understanding of who your attracted to and
why.

Remember last week’s column when I talked about that annoying
little habit women have of wanting to eat food off a man’s plate
when they’re out with one of us at a restaurant? Well, I had a
certain lady write me an email in response, and she told me that
she somewhat agreed with me re what I was saying, but, added
that it really didn’t matter too much as, “…getting upset
about us eating food off a man’s plate is strictly a guy’s
thing. It’s no big deal to us.”

A guy’s thing. I’ve heard that terminology since back in high
school when I first started dating. What it refers to is the
fact that there are just some things that men like that women
don’t. Those little things that separate the sexes, and make
them what they are. And, after thinking for a good twenty
seconds, I’m gonna be kind enough to list what some of the major
“guy’s things” are:

1. The Three Stooges - For some unknown reason, guys love the
Stooges and women don’t. What’s not to love? They exhibited some
of the greatest physical comedy ever, and some of their sayings
were priceless. Remember some of these routines:

Curly: “Whatja say?”

Moe: *gives Curly a two-finger eye poke*

Curly: “That’s what I thought ya said.”

Or:

Shemp: (Looking into a mirror) “There I yam - and as pretty as a
picture.”

Moe: “Yeah. Of an ape.” (Then slaps Shemp hard).

Isn’t that great? I’ll bet lots of you guys out there are
laughing out loud. On the other hand, I’ll bet that most of you
ladies are saying, “I just don’t get it, I never thought the
Stooges were all that funny.” This is a great first example of a
“guy’s thing.” But there’s plenty more.

2. Mountain Dew - Diet Mountain Dew is my favorite soft drink in
the world. I love its mellow, citrus based taste, and it has
more caffeine in it than any other soft drink. But, what I’ve
discovered is, try offering one to a woman. For some unknown
reason, experience has taught me that eight out of ten women
will turn a Mountain Dew down, saying, “I just don’t like it.”
What’s not to like? It tastes good, keeps you awake, and it
looks the same leaving your body as when it went in. A totally
useful product.

3. Burping loudly - I’m not going to say anything else here or
I’ll get in trouble, but just suffice it to say that most men
get a big kick out of this, and all women despise it. No one
ever said that Mother Nature is always pretty, you know.

4. Hating ties - Any man that has a testosterone count higher
than Liberace hates neck ties. Absolutely despises them. They
had to be invented by a fervent man-hater - the problem is,
women love for you to wear one just as badly as you hate doing
so. I’d rather spend a Saturday poisoning wasp nests than to
wear a neck tie to a formal social function. Unfortunately, the
women in our lives can give you pretty convincing reasons to
wear one, so, we have to do it. But it still stinks like a dead
frog in the hot sun, though.

5. Not wanting to use strange toilets - For some reason, women
can go into a restroom in a restaurant, gas station, or other
public facility and use it without hesitation. Conversely, most
men hate using a strange toilet. For us, images of mutant
bacteria that could eat whole cows alive live on those toilet
seats. I’ve even resisted going to the bathroom instead of being
forced to use a strange one. Honestly, I think most of you
ladies out there need to rethink this one.

And there you have it. Some of the most well known “guy’s
things” there are. Probably, if I’m guessing right, I’d say that
some of you ladies out there might want equal time, maybe a
future column about “gal’s things.” The only thing is, I’m not
biologically qualified to write it. My suggestion would be to
contact my good friend, columnist Amy Eason (www.amy-eason.com).
Tell her I wrote a column about guy’s things, and that you think
a response is in order. That’ll get her back up enough that I’ll
guarantee you she’ll produce a wonderful, women friendly
masterpiece for all you ladies…
