Being bald.

If you wear your balding without shame you'll come off as confident and self assured. that's sexy.

Because, bald people will never find another way to have sex...

...ever

...obviously

Who loves ya, baby?

Personally I find balding men irresistible, but that doesn't really help you, does it?

This has led me to recognize that Rod hairstyles are as much of a sign of pratness as, say, the bald foucauldian grad student look of the 90s.

In fact, if you begin to see the paste-down combover not as an attempt to conceal baldness, but to ADORN it, Bobby Charlton begins to look less objectionable than nineteen of twenty boys at, say, Shout, or Tiswas, or Trash.

If I were to go bald I would keep the remaining horseshoe of hair tidy and my pate shiny, and buy bespoke dark suits and spectacles made of bakelite.

Luke, all this could be yours if you would just embrace your incipient baldness. Suede? Have some ambition, man!

Personally, I keep it short. It makes me feel less paranoid. And once you realise nobody gives a fuck about your hair loss except you, it tends to make you feel a bit better...

I'm drunk, BTW

What's wrong with being bald or balding? People like Michael Stipe or Moby looked like cockfarmers when they had hair anyway, so don't let them fool you into thinking that bald = less attracive.

Besides, Brian Eno is the sexiest man alive and he has very little in the way of hair.

Luke, you're going to have to face this. IT HAPPENS, and all you can do is make yourself neurotic about baldness, about styling it just so, about feeling a fake etc. etc. It's a pain in the arse, sure, and I can honestly say I'd LOVE to not have lost 90% of my hair, but them's the breaks.

If you are lucky and have a good shaped head, then going short is absolutely the way forward. You never have to worry again about whether it's got mussed up, looks dirty, is obscuring your vision. All you have to do is buy a mirror and a clipper and cut it once a fortnight (or more if you want it really short).

When I bit the bullet (6 years ago now, after 8 years of floppiness), I went out that night to a posh do in a tuxedo. I felt like the bouncer. But I got used to it surprisingly quickly, and so did my then girlfriend.

It's impossible to compare how attractive I was before I had it cut to afterwards, but obviously I felt so self-conscious at my thinning floppy fringe that drastic action was, I felt, necessary. But I honestly don't think I'm missing out on the laydeez because I have a grade 1. And you definitely get your head stroked more often!

If the worst comes to the worst, it WILL (what there is left, anyway :-)) grow back. But being honest with yourself is the only long-term approach. Take advantage of the fact that crew-cuts are pretty much fashionable and wear it without self-consciousness.

Not even Simon? Seems to me he started out very well and has aged even better!

Well, he couldn't be yours, he's gay. ;-)

I decided to shave my head because i got sick of dealing with my hair. Every 2 weeks my girlfriend shaves it for me. I love the no-hassle life i get now. You only get a shock once and then you get over it. No more bad hair days - u get a perfect consistent look.

I'm not sure if ladies like it more but my girlfriend says she does. She says unless your hair is done perfectly it is better to keep it short. Messy hair is apparently a big turn off for women.

One of the good things about shaving your head is that you will be less obsessed about your hair. Some things ive learnt is that you should redesign your look. For me i changed my glasses, got an earring and bought some new clothes. Dont dwell on your old look (with hair).

Even if they find a cure to baldness i will still keep my hair short. The cycle of hair is sick to me. Haircut - look different - wait to grow - perfect for 5 mins - time for haircut again and the gel, shampoo...power to u if u plan to shave!

Irrational fear of bald people.?

I've been having chronic sinusitis for 8 months, and within first first couple weeks of having it, I didn't think I had sinusitis, and I thought I was gonna lose my hair since, i felt tightness around the forehead area/top of the head, which is a symptom of sinusitis. I soon became anxious about being bald, even though I haven't and still not losing any hair. This spiraled into me being afraid of bald people, as If I had a bald person, meaning someone with a receding hairline and/or shaved, not someone with full head of hair and shaved, I felt extremely anxious and uncomfortable, and I feel i have to leave.(which usualy i do.)
Another thing is I like listening to James Taylor's music, but he was losing his hair in his 30's and hes completey bald now. This made me feel weird if I was listening to him even though I enjoy his music. Same goes for other bald musicians.

This phobia makes me not want be in the sight of bald people. This is ruining my life, I need help.

Soon or later if Im gonna have a job, I have to deal with bald people and bald coworkers.

And this isn't a joke, this is really happening to me and Im feeling miserable. I am no shape or form having hair loss and my dad has full head of hair and my mom side of my grandpa isn't bald. So i should have no reason to think im going bald, but this is irrationality was cause by sinusitis, which i still have right now, and tightness in my forehead convined me i was gonna lose hair there. But now I know that I have a condition called sinusitis and I havent lost any hair.

You no problems other than over thinking something.

I think a solution might be positive reinforcement. Could you arrange for some bald people to give you little treats and do you spontanaeous favours? Then you will start to associate baldies with happy and joyful things and always want to be in their company.

if I were bald, I'd keep it shaved, but would get an elaborate tattoo of a nicely styled, flowing hair all over my head

man, shaved was just an awful look on me.

Another thing is I like listening to James Taylor's music, but he was losing his hair in his 30's and hes completey bald now.

For whatever reason I have an irrational respect for bald celebrities and athletes, like Matt Hasselbeck. You have so much money and fame that it would be easy to get the finest/most realistic hair treatment avilable, but to just say "fuck it, so I'm bald" at that level of exposure deserves some kind of respect.

Any ILX baldheads use depilatory cream? I get as close to the skin as possible every few weeks with clippers, but I don't want to mess with shaving that last bit of stubble.

I've used a headblade for almost a dozen years. You get used to shaving pretty quickly.

for a second there I thought this was ilm and "Being Bald" was the title of the new Human League single
