That Prince William should just bite the bullet and get that hair transplant

I get the feeling he’d love one. He looked so handy with hair. Being the future King probably precludes him from getting one as it’s seen as trivial etc but I reckon he secretly wants one.

Do they do royal tours of Turkey?

Similar age/similar bonce issues to the prince there. Sometimes you see hair transplants that are worse than just leaving it. I've seen fellas with oddly thin or patchy hair, or a weird hairline that looks like they drew it on themselves.

Not to suggest William would be visiting some budget clinic in Turkey, but it's not always the best option.

I say this rarely, but he really suits a beard.

He doesn’t “suit a beard”.

You mean “a beard suits him”.

Could you post a picture of yourself @upandleftthenright, and we’ll let you know what we think you should have done to look “better”?

What on earth has someone else’s hair (or lack of it) got to do with you?

Not everyone wants to be a plastic, identikit clone.

I love the “he suits a beard” turn of phrase. Don’t be zebophobic @MoriftedinaFrenchEscapeRoom!!

Is zebophobic a fear of zebras? 😉

I googled 'zebophobic' and found nothing! Please enlighten.

It’s a fear of Zebedee

(one for the older folks there, plus for people just looking at the Ops comments and thinking WTAF is that about)

Why should he get a hair transplant? Just to fit in with the aesthetic ideals of others? He has better things to worry about - mainly his family and the health of his wife and father. An experience of cancer gives you an 'slap in the face' wake up call over what is truly important in this life and it isn't 'conforming' to hair transplants.

I agree. That's really sad to hear about your friends ds. I think too many people take the piss out of men going bald...i can imagine it could be really traumatic especially if you're young

Obviously his DF had male pattern baldness too. They were both very good looking men. Both his parents tried to reassure him that women really don't notice baldness. I don't know the outcome as I haven't spoken to my friend for ages, but I remember thinking at the time that it was very sad.

Just imagine if a man told a woman she should get surgery because she's look better

'i get the feeling he'd love one'

How do you know he feels ? mind your own business.

Of course they do.

They might still find a bald man attractive, but baldness is not something you don't notice.

Speak for yourself. Can't say I ever particularly notice it. I look at a person as a whole, not individual body parts unless they are very extreme! Even if someone was completely bald, it would be one of the last things I would mention when describing them.

Can’t be that bad as so many shave their heads nowadays.
Notice it yes, care about it? That will depend as some might prefer blonds, or beards v clean shaven, short v tall, or skinny v chunky, bald or shaved v long, short or curly hair with or without the receding hairline

It’s past time people stopped being shallow about natural aging and look at the personality etc . People are getting so….plastic , fake …these days. Vanity, self obsession. It’s sad

Fancycheese · 18/07/2025 11:00

Ew. Reverse the genders here and women would be up in arms. Why is it acceptable to tell a man to modify his body so he’d look more socially acceptable? Gross.

Everydayimhuffling · 18/07/2025 11:25

It's incredibly grim to be suggesting he should have cosmetic surgery this way. The way men are treated over going bald is disgusting. I think it often absolutely destroys their confidence.
