Experiences Balding After 40 Years Old

[baldozer]

Tell me, who was the last bald president that we had?

Eisenhower.

During his tenure as president, Televisions became more and more common in American households.

There has not been one bald-headed president elected since.

All presidents since then have been over 40 years old.

You think hair loss doesn't matter after age 40?

Wasn't Gerald Ford quite bald too?

Wasn't Gerald Ford quite bald too?

And by "Bald" I mean advanced cases of balding (above Norwood 3).

Gerald Ford was appointed as vice president after Spiro Agnew resigned.

Then, after Nixon reigned, Ford became president.

He ran for re-election, and lost to Jimmy Carter (who had a full head of hair).

Bottom line: Ford was NEVER voted into office by the people.

Nixon was a Norwood Three.

Lyndon Johnson was a norwood three, but was not elected when he first became president (he took the job after JFK was killed).

He did win his first re-election bid, was eligible for re-election, and did not run again.

George H.W. Bush was about a Norwood three, but was a one-term president who lost his re-election bid to Bill Clinton, who had the hairline of a twelve-year-old boy.

George Bush was maybe a Norwood 2 and Barack Obama has zero hair loss.

Read this if you people don't believe me.

When Eisenhower was elected, about half of Americans had a TV set. Look at hair loss among presidents before Eisenhower- and then look at it after.

You can deny it all you want but there's a clear pattern here and it speaks volumes about how the public perceives baldness, whether you want to admit it or not.

Only American public. I see plenty of bald presidents in other countries.

I am with you 100% bud. Us older guys have lives too.

I am still married but I know my wife would love my full head of hair back and have me feeling great again. No matter what age we are , if hair loss bothers us, we need to look into possible treatments.

Good luck with your dating. There are a lot of fine looking women in their thirties. I think older women are often more attractive as they are more confident.

Thanks Drybone! I didn't want my divorce, but I still ended up divorced and single in my mid 30's. It sucks to be out there again dating, but at least I have a full head of hair and can feel confident about that.

And those of us living in the U.S. can't escape the cultural attitudes that exist as long as we choose to remain here.

If you live in a nation where balding is accepted/ embraced, I offer my sincere congratulations and hope that one day the United States evolves to match your country's mindset.

But as I write this, that is not how things are.

If balding is considered sexy in Italy, that's wonderful for Italians

It's not helpful to those who live in countries where it's considered not sexy.
