[quote=svelte]You guys worry way too much about hair.
If you lose it in your 20s, yeah that would be a bummer. But by the time you’re 40s or even 30s, no big deal.
Agree that large and bald isn’t too great a look, but svelte and bald is pretty sharp.
My wife and I went to see Furious 7 due to something that was in it that piqued my interest. My son told me his GF was dying to see it, they went and she loved it. Now she’s not a car or action movie person, so I figured it had to be the guys in the film. To my surprise, most have a shaved head! Not sure which one had her interest, but I found it interesting.
Shaving my head is actually very liberating. Minimizes get-ready time in the AM. Looks very masculine. Haven’t noticed any difference in how I’m treated. Only drawbacks: when it’s very cold (but a black beanie looks really good!) and it’s hard to shake up my looks (so I change facial hair styles once in a while).
Other than that, no regrets. I think it looks way better than gray hair actually…those dudes walking around with large manes of gray look o-l-d.[/quote]
Shaved heads look good if you are buff/fit/muscular…but if you are skinny or scrawny, a shaved head only looks like you have cancer and are undergoing chemo…
I think no hair at age 40+ and people not caring is only true because a lot of people have kids and are married so they “loss” the need/desire to impress the ladies (to get married/sex/etc…).
Without that care, some people (me included) see it as a waste of time/resources to look great/etc or spend a lot of money to achieve it.
This applies almost only to men as women seem to care even at age 70+. See those old grandmas carrying umbrellas on a sunny day? No one cares if you look old and wrinkly!
