In other words (MPB sufferers), who struts their genetic disposition in a way that makes you proud (not so ashamed) to be one of the ‘lucky’? Me uhh, maybe [Randy Couture](http://www.sherdog.com/news/picture_popup.asp?pic_id=3337&f_id=166), [Bruce Willis](http://evergreenlife.org/uploaded_images/bruce-willis_0001-723338.jpg)? Shit, I don’t know.. Help me out 😕 ---

Definitely Bruce Willis, Bill Murray, and Jason Statham. They show that balding can be cool, and even sexy. I shave my head now to combat my thinning hair, and everyone seems to like it when I just have a week or two of growth. ---

[Patrick Stewart](http://www.vulkon.com/images/PatrickStewart.jpg). I second Bruce Willis and Jason Statham. ---

Bruce Willis and Patrick Stewart don’t (usually) have a shaved head, they just get a buzz cut–which is probably the best cut for baldness. Of course there is always the samurai cut… ---

Just any guy who doesn’t try to hide it. While I wouldn’t list “bald” as my favorite hair color, well-worn bald is nice (it says “this is me and I’ve got no reason to hide it”). ---

Bruce Willis and Patrick Stewart are good. I’ll totally throw in [Adam Savage](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Savage) and [Jamie Hyneman](http://www.m5industries.com/html/staff_jamie.htm)🙂 (I’m assuming about Jamie, I guess). ---

Phil Silvers Friar Tuck, though his may have been a tonsure. James Taylor I still have most of my hair, but I admire men who have come to terms with their baldness. It takes courage. ---

Patrick Stewart, of course. He’s been my crush for 20 years now. But lately I’ve had a thing for [Enrico Colantoni](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enrico_Colantoni) from Veronica Mars. And of course my tv boyfriend [Alton Brown](http://images.egullet.com/u2/i7361.jpg) is…folically challenged. ---

[Vince Vaughn](http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2005/07/11/images/vince_vaughn_wedding_crashers_interview_top.jpg) is my inspiration in the mornings. Not bald yet, but we all know where this is going. ---
