Ok.... still a couple of years under the big 30 but since coming here to the land of the adjuma I have really started to notice a general mass evacuation (well.. at least so far just a major retreat of the foward flanks...) of my head fur.


My solution has been to grow it longer it the hope that the oily scraggy locks and half mullet will draw any attention from the forward barer patches.... thus preserving my dignity and youth..... If i can get my hands on some brill cream.... I reckon a comb-over would really help..... Confused

But i've started thinking..... is it time for the buzz cut??? Never quite got the whole "shave the head to disquise the baldness" thing.... but..... maybe its time to bite bullet...........

Comb-over... nobody will know, it'll be our little secret.

Shaving doesn't disguise it, it exemplifies it.

Thankfully I haven't gotten to that point yet. My plan is to buy a beret and start speaking French all the time.

Exactly.

buzz that fuzzy crap off with barber's clippers every month...no attachments just adjusted up to where you don't nick the skin. And shave your beard back into a goatee every month or so.

It's easy, cheap, and it feels GREAT...long as you wear a hat or bandana in the bright sunshine. Best of all you'll look cool like me and all the other white trash sumbitches that do it...even if you aren't white...

You can wear anything and look good...except a cheap suit. And nobody looks good in one of those anyway.

It looks way better than strangly bits of non-hair grown like pubic hair on your scalp.

Keep it short and neat. You can shave it all off but then sometimes you run the risk of looking like a cancer victim. Lighten your hair too, if possible. Eat a lot of soy products and drink a lot of soy milk.

New research published in the journal Biology of Reproduction reveals that consuming soy milk and other soy products could reduce hair loss and male pattern baldness. How? When the body breaks down isoflavones from soy products, one of the resulting compounds is equol, which blocks a form of testosterone called DHT that has been linked with hair loss and baldness. The hair loss prescription drug, Propecia, works in much the same way by blocking the conversion of testosterone into DHT.

I'm a bit wary of anything that interferes with tesostorone in any way..... no point in having a healthy crop of hair if you start having trouble doing anything with the ladies that all start flocking to your door... i take it that DHT testosterone has nothing to do with the male patriotic-soldier function (ie- standing to attention when exhibited on parade...)

Shave it off! Hair does NOT make a man! If she only likes you because you have a head of hair...she ain't worth your time! Millions and millions of bald men can't be wrong!
The comb over...dorky! Nerdy! Just plain awful looking! And most women will agree.

Balding is incredibly UNsexy and unattractive if the guy deludes himself into thinking he still has a full head of hair if he leaves the rest of it long. If the remaining hair is kept short, on some guys, it's incredibly sexy. On others, it's just fine. Now, make sure you get some sun on that head because a gleaming white head doesn't look good on anybody. That's if you're white. If you are black or have some naturally tan skin, shave your head bald and you have nothing to worry about. Then, you look gooooood~

I vote for shaving it off. I personally think bald and bold is way more attractive than bald and trying to pretend you're not. Not that my opinion counts for dulce, just saying is all.
