What's worse, being bald or...

[gmonasco]

Personally, I don't understand how baldness has been able to spread in the first place. Quite what allowed evolution to lapse so spectacularly is one of the mysteries of science. Those of us who are balding are less attractive, tend to be psychologically damaged and have no defence against the sun on our scalps yet we've survived through history.

But in the timescale of human history, the notion that male baldness is unattractive and makes one "psychologically damaged" is a fairly recent phenomenon. (The same could be said of obesity.)

You can't really interpret evolutionary processes solely by the standards of modern society.

But bald men have always been able to get intimate with women.

I think a lack of gender equality adequately explains the past!
