    That has to be the dumbest link I have seen in my life.

    Will smith is not bald? He just had a terrible hair style.


    Wow that article or w/e it is sucks.

      Same old bad examples, which range from Mr. Meatball (Stratham) to a druggy (Agassi). Oh, and the old man, Bruce Willis, who spent his entire career wearing toupees because baldness was oh so cool on a young man.

        Well done for posting it........its good to see positive examples out there.
        Fixed by 35 - Andre Agassi may be a 'druggie' to you, but he is also one of the most talented tennis players to have ever lived. A multi time champion.
        The same applies to Kelly Slater, probably the best surfer who ever lived.
        Again, lifes all about perception. You have a negative perception about everything........ even when blatant facts stare you in the face.

          The examples you give are sportsmen. Sportsmen are allowed to be ugly in a way that people in other careers are not, because it's a true measure of raw talent. That's why so many sportsmen are unbelievably ugly, like Agassi or Slater. Of course, their talent still doesn't get them the best sponsorship gigs - we all know sponsors want pretty people like Federer on their products!

            Yeah, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Billy Zane, Taye Diggs were all sportsmen too. Your completely right.

              Andre Agassi has been retired from professional tennis for several years now, so why hasn't he reverted to being "ugly"?

                  Really. Despite his undeniable talent, it's not as if this guy ever got any lucrative sponsorship deals:

                    Another flawed argument by 'fixed by 35'......

                      I think that all the bald celebrities and athletes mentioned would be just as popular if they had hair or not. Lets face it Bruce Willis was a star way before he started losing his hair and Jason Statham was the best thing about Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels and he was an Armani model before that.
                      Most of the people that are mentioned on this site who do shave their heads are effectively their own bosses. Michael Jordan, Andre Agassi will never have to take orders from anyone. A lot of them adopted the look at the height of its popularity and they made it work them. Which is great. They are defined by it. No one is going to give them grief because they are bald.
                      Now lets go to the regular world. Some guys look fantastic with a shaved head. They spend time at the gym, dress great, and have excellent facial features and head shapes that make them look even better then the celebrities mentioned. Plus they have jobs where the look works and is accepted.
                      But a lot of people feel they look better with some hair framing their face and they feel more comfortable with it.
                      So while I don't need to defend Fixed by 35 (he does a great job of that on his own) I can respect and see his side of the issue. Especially when it comes to the straight corporate or political world, you see a lot of politicians and heads of corporations who are losing their hair but a lot of them are not shaving their heads.
                      In the end all you can say to each his own.

                        I think its great that fixed by 35 has an opinion.......the world would be very boring if we were all the same.
                        The thing i have an issue with is the way he tries to present his argument as fact. Bald maybe grotesque to him...... but it isnt to everybody.

                          Black men often shave their heads, and they seem to get away with it in a way that white and Asian people don't. So okay, you've found an exception to the argument.

                          God, has hair loss really led to this? Arguing about just how shit it really is? I can't believe I even need to argue the point. Bald is crap and most of the world agrees.

                              In other words, all bald men are discriminated against -- except the ones who aren't, of course. But there's always some excuse why the exceptions don't count.

                              I can't believe I even need to argue the point. Bald is crap and most of the world agrees.
                              The people in living in the world in your head, perhaps.
