| What? Being bald is awesome! Baldness is caused by excess testosterone (not the muscle-building kind, unfortunately). It's associated with maturity and power. The best thing a bald(ing) guy can do is get in decent shape. You don't have to be Arnold, but a strong, bald guy exudes masculinity (look at Picard). You don't have to waste time with barbers or hairdressers. Just buzz what remains every few days. You're automatically considered lower-maintenance and more masculine because of this. You don't have bad hair days. The only things about baldness that suck are sunburns (this is actually the worst thing about going bald, because you're exposed but can't just slather on sunscreen), and hitting your head on stuff. Hair provides a bonus inch or two of sensory input which helps you avoid banging your noggin. Being young (25-ish) and bald(ing) is less fun, but a lot of the shallow negativity goes away when 50% of your friends start losing their hair by 30. Best of all: the ones who lose it later haven't learned to cope with it, and look hilariously desperate just as you're getting extremely confident. |
Behind door 1, baldness. You'll be bald and have a high risk of getting prostate cancer.
Behind door 2, keeping your hair. You'll have a thick, awesome mane to call your own and to do with as you see fit for the rest of your life (including shaving it off occasionally).
So you're telling me you prefer to go through door 1, right?
