It's a problem that has always plagued men, but there is an upside to hair loss according to new research which has found bald men appear tougher and more powerful than others.
Guys with shaved heads are also seen as taller, stronger and having greater potential as leaders, researcher Albert Mannes has found.

BS. Have we ever had a bald President?
ABSOLUTELY LOVED BREAKING BAD (on Netflix, all 4 seasons)
It could make perfect sense, if we’re not picking our political leaders for strength, power, and leadership abilities. We pick generals based on that stuff, and we’ve got plenty of bald generals. I think we just want our politicians to be convincing liars, so they can tell us what we’d rather hear instead of the truth.
He shaved his head, then went crazy, then tried to kill Rick, then turned into a zombie.
He's coming back in season 3, to apologize to Rick and try to reintegrate into the group.
“increased testosterone increases DHT, which causes male pattern baldness.”
______________
It is passed on by the mother, though, right? And also, women sometimes have the same pattern, it just isn’t as severe. My mom was thinner on top and still thick on the sides as the years went on. Did she really have extra testosterone? Eww!
For that matter, I”m almost 50 and I have to admit my hair is thinner on top than it used to be, although I doubt anybody but me has noticed. Eww! Eww! I don’t wanna be a dude!!
Mussolini is a great example, worked out well did it?
/s
God only made a few perfect heads. The rest he covered with hair.

My experience exactly and nearly the same time. I shave in the shower - face every weekday, head M/W/F. The wife is good with it but I haven't noticed any other females attracted by the look. I'd start a personal poll but I think the wife might see that as fishing in strange pond...:-)
I, too, remember that head shaving was strongly discouraged when I was in the military in the 70s and 80s but I had enough that shaving was not under consideration until I was well out of the military.
Remember Deep Space 9, when it first started Capt. Sisko was a wimp with self doubts and a full head of hair. In season 2 or 3 he shaved his head, and suddenly was a bad ass warrior, and the show got 100% better.
Who loves ya, baby?
You’ve got a point there, but the way your hair is combed nobody can see it. /s

One Eisenhauer was bald as far as I can recall.
That would be Erland Van Lithe de Jeude. Sadly, he's passed. I went to high school with him. A gentle giant, an opera singer (like his brother Phillip) and a helluva wrestler.
I'm not bald. I just have more face than most people.
It never bothered me. When I was in college I had a lot of visible piercings and wore a really long goatee, so I understood back then.
Now I’m a buttoned-up shirt-and-tie guy, and people still go quiet when I walk in a room.
Ask my wife or anyone who knows me, and they’d tell you I’m the biggest softy you’ve ever met. It’s all about image.
Interestingly enough, when I was growing up, my mother used to always tell me how her father never shaved his head despite having the classic horseshoe shaped hair line, because back in the day, shaving one’s head was considered extreme. It’s interesting how mainstream it’s become.
I blame James Tolkan (AKA Mr. Strickland from Back to the Future)
Very sorry to hear that.
Shane was such a dumbass.
Why carry an eight shot 12 gauge when all you need is a .22 and can carry enough ammo in your front pocket to take out a small town?
Yeah, yeah. Dramatic license. I just can’t think “badass” when the character is demonstrating “little winky” syndrome ;^)
John Adams
John Quincy Adams
Martin Van Buren
James Garfield
Dwight Eisenhower
It is just a bunch of bull crap like about every thing else you hear from the so called experts.
