#12Loosely related video, Star Trek actor talks about being bald: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqm_Iq8rFeg . I'm linking it to remind that perceiving baldness as something negative (here: a criterion for removal from a photo) can be a cause of distress and loss of confidence.
I know this article is trying to be tongue in cheek but I definitely think it's worth highlighting this issue.

#13George is by far my favorite sitcom character. His schizo-nuances and paranoia and hilarious! I can relate.

I do understand why people would feel insecure about baldness. Is it changing for the better though? Loads of "cool" bald people, think Vin Diesel etc. I still have a head full of hair and just turned 30. Not sure how I'd feel as I've had long hair all my life. I do feel that the volume isn't as high as it was in my early 20s..
I hope we make some progress in a cure either way.

I think it's kind of interesting that, thirty years later, the CEOs of SpaceX and Blue Origin are bald men.

There is medication that can prevent baldness. It has very rare, but very scary side-effects though. Eventually we might have something that fixes the genes responsible for baldness.

Very much agreed. That character is so memorable that it's difficult for me to think of him playing a non-George role. I think the actor had trouble with post-Seinfeld roles too.

I am not, strictly speaking, bald--I have about as much hair as Eisenhower did when he was president. My vanity is much more committed to not caring (or not showing that I care) about such matters than it is to the full head of hair I had years ago.

It also, as far as I know, requires taking indefinitely. Once you stop, if you were going bald before, that process will continue.

Baldness is something negative, it makes you less attractive. Like being fat, or having big ears, or being short. And? Should we change that? How? Should women be with bald men out of pity even if they are not attracted to them? All of this sounds ridiculous.
