As my hairline continues to recede I have been thinking a lot about baldness and society. Why is it that people like to make fun of bald men? Why am I a bit apprehensive about the process? What is it about being bald that could be so bad? I know I will always have to wear a hat outside in the summer because bald guys can get terrible sunburns up there. But other than that, what is so bad?
There could be advantages too. For example, think of the money bald people save on shampoo, hair products, and time doing their hair.
As I have thought about it, most of the influential men in my life are bald.
My Grandfathers.
My brother the Md, PhD.
My dad. A stallion.
Bald men are prominent on the stage and big screen.
The King.
The Master Jedi.
The Master Spy.
Mr. Jackson.
The Professor.
Mr. Clean!
The Bulldog.
One of the scary things about going bald is not knowing what is actually under that hair.
His Airness.
The Mailman.
The doughnut man.
The Champ.
The Bruce.
I have heard it put like this, God only created a few perfect heads. The rest he covered with hair.

I think I will shave what little I have left.
Alex says "God gave men hair who He didn't give testosterone." Apparently, there's some link between excess testosterone and baldness. You'd have to ask him exactly what that link is.
Well said! You could totally pull off a Picard.
LOL!!! Love this post. My hubby is bald too. Bald is HOT!!!
Just remember it is all in the attitude. Don't consider yourself bald, just taller than your hair.
