I can barely keep a straight face. Men look much better bald. I'm so glad it's fashionable, too. I see quite a few very attractive bald guys.
Thanks! Appreciate that.

From a bald man's perspective, the comb-over is a sign that the guy doing this is clueless as to how truly terrible it looks. I used to think guys that had this "hairstyle" were concerned about the top of their head being bare in case of sunburns - however, just wear a hat if you're worried about that. Plus, some strands of hair over a bald pate will not protect your head from a sunburn...

I think comb-overs come from early in the balding process, when a guy can move his part out a bit to de-emphasize the appearance of balding temples. At first, it works. Where he gets in trouble is keeping at it after it quits working.

I have and I would.. as long as he does something flattering with any remaining hair. Which characteristics he possesses on the inside is what matters.

Didn't bother Mom. I have a picture of Dad at close to 20, hair receeded behind his ears. My son was going to be him or his dad's dad's full set of now white hair. My dad won. His wedding pictures he looks sooo much like my dad, including dad's hairline.

He's not making an issue of it. Neither is my dil.

I really wouldn't mind it. Oh, at times, balding can be rather attractive, especially if they're not balding at the front of their head (or near the forehead) - Think, Bruce Willis in the 90s.

Bald > Balding > Toupee > Wig

If you look terrible bald, I'd look into the non surgical high quality toupees.
