Make Your Peace With Middle-Aged Guys Wearing Ball Caps Indoors

Andrew Sullivan’s readers do not endorse hair transplants, are terrifying:

The problem is that someone experiencing balding that severely in his early/mid-20s, is likely going to continue to bald. Now, in his early 40s, my friend has the top of his obviously implanted head cut extremely short — making the unnatural pattern even more noticeable — because the balding has extended down creating a bare ring of head before the fringe of hair at his ear level. The worst part of all of this: because of the horrible scarring created by the removal of the strip of hair from the back of his head to create the transplants, fully shaving his head is no longer a reasonable option.

How bad is bald, really? Do you even care? Because, if you don’t care, ask out a bunch of bald guys right away because they’re probably significantly undervalued by the open dating market, and you might get a great deal on a low-mileage beauty.
