My boyfriend has thinning hair, and he’s 26. No big deal for me, and I don’t think it is for him either.
Bald can, indeed, be quite sexy. Relax, it’s hair. Bald women don’t look so great, but bald men…yow. 🙂

All this “bald is sexy” talk is overlooking the fact that some people _just don’t good without hair_. Further, some people aren’t that good-looking to start with; along with the disappearing hair goes the little bit of external beauty they had.

Magic wands are for getting a 6-pack & a pizza to appear on your coffee table at 11: pm while you’re watching a small army of Uruk-Hai get slaughtered by 4 of Middle Earth’s Finest ( **one of whom is bald, by the way** ) in FOTR (yeah, baby! I got plans for tonight)!

Which one was that? I remember a lot of greasy hair but no scalp particularly showing.
Oh, and for the record, I had to stop kidding myself when, at the age of 28 I went for a stroll in the rain . . . and felt the drops pelting my head.

IIRC Gimli takes off his brain bucket for a scene & reveals his Gallhager-do:nuthin on top with lots of tresses off the sides.
He’s not particularly sexy but he does have that Scottish Midget mojo thing going on with Eowyn nonetheless.
