Prince Williamwill apparently be completely bald on top of his head by the time he's 40. Justin Beiber the irritating little twerp thinks he should do something about it Hmm

Am I alone in thinking that William will be fine without hair and it's a shame baldness is disliked so much. No wonder young men are so distressed when they start to lose their hair.

Warning: link is Daily Mail for those who are fragile about such things.

I have NO idea why it is an issue. Am not clicking on the link Wink

I find baldness very, very atractive Grin

Young men or older men look fabulous.

So YANBU,

A soft spoken, quiet bald man is welcome to have his ego stroked anytime Wink

It looks ok if the man shaves his head but I don't know if William will do that. Prince Edward went bald young and always looked bad because of it.

tiddlypool · 10/08/2012 21:20

but Prince Edward has no charisma, so wouldn't have been attractive with or without hair

Grin tiddly.

YANBU.

Justin Beiber is a twat.

DP went bald at 27 in keeping with family tradition. He was quite pretty with hair, now he's much more handsome. Obviously I have no problem with bald men Grin

Justin Bieber may find that statement bites him on the arse in about 20 years!

ClaireRacing · 10/08/2012 21:25

Do something about it? Like what?

ivykaty44 · 10/08/2012 21:27

I find bald men rather sexy Grin not all bald men I have to like their face - but then I look at them and think if you had hair on your head I wouldn't find you half as sexy IYSWIM

mmmmmmmmmmm JeanLuc Picard

That is all

NotMostPeople · 10/08/2012 21:34

Well they can't do anything about it so it's a pointless statement. Personally i don't find baldness attractive fortunately my FIL has a full head of hair at 85 so it's looking good for dh.

limitedperiodonly · 10/08/2012 21:35

A gay male friend from NI said about another gay male colleague who had an elaborate comb-over: 'God knows, there's not much to be said about being gay where I come from. But at least in London you can shave your head and people actually fancy you.' Grin

SwallowingBombs · 10/08/2012 21:38

absolutely ivykaty Grin

the baldness itself isn't sexy per se, just like all men with Jonny Depp style hair aren't sexy just because they have his hairstyle..

But when a bald man has that je ne sai quoi... WOW Grin

Jason Statham,
Peter Gabriel,
Idris Elba
James Nesbitt.....................

WorraLiberty · 10/08/2012 21:38

Bald men look fine as long as they shave that little 'island' at the front...otherwise it looks a bit weird.

Wayne Rooney should have left this hair alone

All that money he spent trying not to go bald and yet I don't think he'd look much different if he did.

financialwizard · 10/08/2012 21:44

My husband is completely bald and very sexy.

NarkedRaspberry · 10/08/2012 21:50

'Fortunately my FIL has a full head of hair at 85 so it's looking good for dh.'

Sorry, it's not. My FIL is very bald and has been for decades. My DH isn't at all.

NotMostPeople · 10/08/2012 21:51

Well dh is 47 and no sign of thinning, increasingly grey which I rather like.

MrMiyagi · 10/08/2012 21:52

My dad is 70 has a full head of hair Smile

He's been grey since 27 though Sad

AmIthatbad · 10/08/2012 21:52

Not clicking the link, but I wonder why it is considered so awful for a man to be bald.

Shaven head, little goatee - much more attractive IMHO than someone with greasy or dandruffy locks.

Mendeleyev · 10/08/2012 21:53

You have to look at maternal grandfather to predict baldness.

FannyFifer · 10/08/2012 21:54

Can't stand seeing men with extremely thin hair on top trying to style it or comb it over to hide the baldness, it doesn't work.

Just shave it off and be done with it.

MrsKeithRichards · 10/08/2012 21:55

My dh isn't yet 30 and has a receding hairline. I don't mind at all! I did spot some grey hairs when snuggling the other night and I actually felt really privileged. Does that make sense? We've been together for ten years and I'm chuffed I'm going to see his hair go through these changes.

I might just be weird.

MrMiyagi · 10/08/2012 21:57

Never seen the man and can't recall his photos, time to phone DM!

ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs · 10/08/2012 21:58

I love the bald/ shaved look (but then I am somewhat biased being in posession of a very sexy follically challenged DH Wink

I actually think it's sadder when men DO try to do something about it- plugs, shampoos, urgh. Makes me think Barry Evans. Whereas bald, I think Vin Diesel..

tiddlypool · 10/08/2012 22:02

That's very nice, MrsKR.

Justin Bieber is an annoying little twat. Prince William is a dear and I'm very fond of his fuzzy head but I think he'd look awesome with a very-modern shaved head.

Besides.., Stanley Tucci Smile.
