Please tell me you're not asking if the carpet matches the drapes.

I just threw up in my mouth a whole lot.

But are you a natural bald or a blade bald?

The road to baldness started in my early 20's (!) and by the time I was in my early 30's, I had the classic horseshoe fringe around the sides and back.  At age 40, I said to heck with it and started shaving my head every day.  My son is 28 now and is on the same road.

Mine's not that bad, but my hair started thinning in my 20's, and now there's more scalp than hair showing on top.

I'd like to take the guys who have thick hair cut to 1/4" long and slap them silly. If they're not going to use it, some of the rest of us would love to have it.

This; I'm pretty well set genetically for hair until 70, (much less so for life until 70, though) and I get tired of people trying to tell me I should buzz it or shave it.  I'll do a tight taper on the sides sometimes, and have the barber layer the top to beat the heat in summer, but I'm keeping the classic part-on-the-right as long as I can.

I'm one of those guys.  My hair is thick, wavy, and takes a set (not quite as curly as a "jewfro").  If my hair has any length, I can't wear hats, can't put on headphones, can't even take a nap without having to vigorously brush and/or wash my hair to get it to not be smashed down or otherwise unruly.  Headphones are a special hell because they leave an apparent dent across the top of my head.

I trim my hair every 2-3 weeks with clippers and a #3 guard.  I'd go 1.5 or 2, but the wife and kids don't like it *that* short.  Actually, they'd like it longer, but then it starts doing what I described above.

I've been on a hair replacement program for 20+ years now. I'm gradually replacing my hair with scalp.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

I lost some during chemo, but it all came back.  What had been somewhat curly, it's now straight.  Regardless, I still get a three on top and zero on the sides for a good High and Tight.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Guys your age shouldn't be allowed to have hair, because you invariably grow disgusting, long, hippy hair. Some of it's way over an inch. Hippies.  :mad:

Me too, but I can't figure out why the three doesn't do anything anymore.

Out of all the men in my family, I alone dodged the baldness gene. Naturally, I keep it short (3/4") to mock my brother and father.  >:D

Actually, I just hate having long hair. PITA to take care of.

Deal with it, man.

I'd honestly be cool with being bald. Having fast growing hair sucks, I keep mine buzzed as short as the clippers will allow. Too damn hot to have long hair...
