This came up at work today, and I could not believe some women said NO. Hell, I’d go around bald for the rest of my life for a million dollars. ---

I’d do it for $500. ---

Yup. Sounds like a great deal. It’d grow back in a month or so anyway. And if I had a million dollars in my back pocket, I’d be on holiday for that month. ---

This is one of those “Would you do X for Y amount of money?” where there is no cost in answering “no” but a possible status/reputation cost in answering “yes”. Hence you get some people answering “no” when they would say “yes” if the money were actually offered. ---

Well, I’m only a man, but I’d shave a fucking swastika into my head for a million dollars. ---

I would shave my head for a lot less than a million dollars (offer me some real money, and we’ll work out the terms.) 😉 I don’t think I would shave a swastika into my hair for any amount of money. ---

Shit, I’d shave myself into a cue-ball AND shave a swastika into _both_ my cats’ fur for a million bucks. (The cats wouldn’t care anway, and we shave them every spring outsel… oh, dear. Must not let that thought continue!) Anyone asks, I’d tell 'em that I have Million-Dollar Cancer, and that the cats are both racist assholes. ---

Considering that 9 months ago I actually paid someone to trim my hair, after which point they systematically left me just short of bald…yeah. Sure, it took this 9 months to get my hair grown back out to where I don’t hate it anymore, but hey. IT GROWS BACK. No-brainer. ---

I don’t know why they wouldn’t do it for $1 million. It’s just hair! It grows back! And to answer the question oh hell yes. ---

a) I’m bald - where’s my money?! 😕 b) I’m a bloke - for $1,000,000 I’d have a sex-change, then shave my head. :smack: ---

I think the question should be, \*\*“How much money would it take for you to shave your head?” \*\* I’d probably hold out for $10,000. ---

Not everyone would agree with you, I once knew a Jewish man who shaved the SS symbol into his head because he didn’t know it’s meaning. The next weekend after I pointed it out, his hair was ALOT shorter. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ladies-would-you-shave-your-head-for-a-million-dollars/616537.md?page=2)
