Men like Louis Gomert should be required to wear a hat or toupee and hide his baldness at work. Seriously, who wants to discuss shiny heads at work? Thise people should just hide their identity!

(16,993 posts)I think people like Louie Gohmert should be required to hide their *stupidity* at work. Which means, he wouldn't be able to open his mouth or do virtually anything. Neither would Michele Bachmann, Rand Paul, or most of the Republican Party for that matter.
Congress might get a few things done that would actually benefit the American people: a foreign concept in Congress over the last few years.

(15,189 posts)Gomer missed out on that. I think he should have to go through painful hair transplants. His body should have a way of shutting that all down.

(66,462 posts)I have an idea:
I'll grow the hair on one side of my head really long, then comb it up over...the top... you see?...
Then nobody will know I'm bald!
That'll work, won't it?
Aristus
(66,462 posts)I mean, I'm not one of those guys who is proud-out-loud about being bald. For me, it's just a thing. But I'll be damned if I ever do a combover, get plugs, or just wear a hat all the damned time.
My wife loves baldness (Patrick Stewart is her fave bald guy) so I lucked out there...

The only time a combover is any fun at all is in a high wind.
I think Trump's hair starts at the back of his neck and gets combed forward and shellacked into a solid piece.

Besides, I'm older than 12 years old.
Warpy
(111,351 posts)I had a neighbor in Boston I never saw without a baseball cap. I think he even slept in that thing. He'd have looked a lot better if he'd just let it all hang out, polishing that balding head so it glistened in the sun.
To tell the truth, I never really notice whether or not a man has thinning hair and/or a bald spot. I doubt many women do and if they do, it's of far lesser importance than a whole list of positive (or negative) qualities.
Aristus
(66,462 posts)We live in a culture that celebrates baldness, and equates it with masculinity, virility and sexiness. Certainly many women I've spoke to on the subject find baldness sexy. Where are these guys coming from?
Plus, I knew from a young age I was going to go bald early. I'm a carbon copy of my Dad, and he went bald in his twenties. Never let it bother him. And just like him, I started losing my hair in my twenties. I was plenty warned. And no problem...
Warpy
(111,351 posts)except the appearance of youth seems to be important for a lot of men and might be tied to salary and promotion in a lot of corporate offices, which is a shame.
Men who are self confident enough to be bald are more appealing to me than men who try to hide it under hats, bad rugs, and combovers.
Aristus
(66,462 posts)'successful corporate executive' better than baldness.
However, I think we have the shaved look popular in the NBA to thank for whatever improved perception we have of baldness as a culture. There's no way to deny that Michael Jordan looked fantastic with his shaved dome

Anyone who would make a statement like that certainly does not have the where with all to think themselves out of a paper sack.

(620 posts)the amount of time it took for a haircut, what with my receding hairline and the bare spot in the back. So I started shaving from the neck up, and have been ever since.
It only takes a few minutes, shaving in the shower.
It was also about the time I got a small gold hoop for my pierced ear.
From time to time people in the gym will call me Mr. Clean.
