    Bald is a great look

    Baldness as a style doesn't suit everyone - I'd look ridiculous. :(

    I've always wondered do hair plugs turn grey later in life? What will Wayne Rooney look like in 40 years....Donald Trump?

    When you hit your 30s you do start to notice signs of aging (in fact most people notice from about 25). Fighting this is pissing in the wind. You're getting older, accept it. Spending huge money to delay the aging process is literally throwing your money down the drain.
    Looking around at my peers in their late 40's, hairloss funny enough isn't the most aging thing. I'd say outside of attitude(which is huge) weight gain, skin pallor and wrinkles trump baldness every time. Makes sense I suppose. If you shaved your head at 21, stayed the same weight and look after your skin, then you'll not look that much different at 50. However if you've a full head of hair(which will usually have gone grey*), a belly that would shame buddha and when you smile the skin on your face looks like a grannies elbow, you're gonna look like an oulfella.

    While women don't go bald nearly as much as men - though some do and now that's a real headfcuk - it's a lot harder for a woman to fight off the signs of aging. Hormonal stuff can play havoc with them, they've thinner skin which shows damage earlier than men and weight gain can require crazy amounts of effort to avoid. Cellulite in men is a near unknown(and by god I'd be getting to a physic pronto if I had any). Plus a smattering of age signs on men is often seen as "distinguished", the equivalent on women not nearly as much so. Throw in the constantly shifting sea of fashion to buy into and it can't be much fun. Basically we blokes have a lot less to bitch about re signs of aging. Baldness is about it really.




    *Actually IMH going grey ages a man faster than going bald. I knew plenty of blokes who were or going bald by 25 or earlier. I'd reckon at least a third of Irish men would be in that bracket. However I knew few enough that started to go noticeably grey before mid late 30's. So balding while certainly associated with adulthood, isn't the preserve of the middle aged as much as greying is.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
