When I met my husband he was balding on top so I persuaded him to shave it all off and be bald. It’s so sexy, I love it and so does he now. Be confident in your bald beauty it’s so manly.

Glad he embraced his baldness. +10 alpha-baldy points for him!

When I see a man with an obvious comb-over, my opinion of him falls off a cliff. Such a gambit shouts, Look ! I’m bald and so ashamed if it that I’m prepared to resort to this desperate expedient !

Such a strategy fails dismally, because the man’s baldness is still obvious even if partially concealed, and also obvious is his sense of inferiority.

If one is bald, it’s far better to be bald. It’s confidence that matters, not hair

Truer words have rarely been typed. I was so moved by them that I spontaneously ripped off my hair system!

Strange how calling men 'eggheads' etc isn't regarded as 'body-shaming', something the internet censorship watchdogs are keen to eradicate.

Anyway, it all goes to show that the current generation are woefully ignorant of famous actors who were as bald as can be: Yul Brynner, Telly Savalas ...

In general: why the fluff are we - male, female - letting ourselves be driven by some Hollywood-plus-marketing bosses who tell us how we ought to look like? Resist!

Quite. You just have to embrace what you have and be confident. And the further you can get away from anything being touted by the likes of Hollywood et al, the better!

Precisely! Well, I find solace in watching and re-watching old, b/w films like 'Passport to Pimlico' (I just love the ending!) or indeed the films of Kurosawa ...
