CHANGE how people see bald men

Holy **** Channing looks damn good with buzzed hair man. But he has high cheekbones and a very marked jaw, plus he has a perfect height! Absolute model material.

Baldozer is pretty hot himself. At least he claims to be.

This is a great thread/discussion. Men will have been balding for the whole of human existence. It's difficult to believe somtimes it's become such a major issue.

It's a major problem now because the entire world has turned into such a superficial place. Most of the human populations has no real problems to conquer. The generations before us lived in pain and agony where it was all about surviving war, plagues etc. We've that no more. All we have is a battle of distribution.

I will go as far as say that balding in this era is the worst era to be balding in. Before it didn't matter much. And in a few generation baldness will be cured, limb lengthening will be advanced to such a point where you can choose how you want to look. And new problems arise...

But we... We're ****ed.

In my view, the fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties, and possibly the nineties were some of the worst of times for a young man to have visible hair loss. In the seventies for instance, there were no effective treatments except hair transplants and seventies hair transplants sucked big time. We're talking 4mm open donor scars all over the back of men's heads and very unnatural appearing results in the recipient areas.

Also in the seventies and eighties in particular very few men shaved their heads. A young man in the seventies with a shaved head was viewed as very odd, like someone who underwent experimental shock therapy or lost their hair due to disease or radiation treatments.

Maybe there is more acceptance now? I guess it's men in general who need to push the notion that it's 'ok' to be bald. Seeing as the overwhelming majority of us will go bald anyway.

[LeonardoD]

Depends on your environment.

Question...are there statistically a lot more bald men in the UK/Europe? I'd say (anecdotally) it's a lot more common where I live.

We will never change the way people see bald men. I don't know about the rest of the world, but in the US, everything is about looks. Bald for the most part just doesn't look good on the majority of men. So we all could say screw it and shave our heads, but that doesn't mean that all of a sudden society will view us as attractive. They might view us as men that "don't give a shit", which is all fine and good, but it wont put us on top of the food chain.
