Bald Is Beautiful?

It all depends on which commercial you listen to. Some would have you believe that you're less of a man if you have no hair. Somehow women will find you less appealing if you have a shiny dome. Men are encouraged to slather on the latest miracle salve guaranteed to regrow a glorious mane making you the life of the party. And what about those hair transplants? Sounds painful to me.

Then again, if you have hair on your chest, back, abdomen or other unmentionable areas, you're suddenly a Neanderthal not fit to be seen in respectable situations. Shave it off? Wax it off? Rip it off with chemically treated strips. The choices abound.

So where does all this leave the man who refuses such measures? I've seen some pretty hideous comb-overs. One guy must have had a two foot long shock of hair growing behind his ear and then wound turban style about his head. Can you imagine the hairspray it took to keep that in place? The alternatives are hairpieces or the razor. Personally, I'd rather see a bit of skin than a crappy looking toupee.

To bald or not to bald, that is the question.
