Doesn’t seem to have hurt [Sean Connery’s](http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hc&cf=gen&id=1800017874) appeal any. ---

[QUOTE=Seren] Since someone already said Patrick Stewart, I guess I’ll have to go with my second choice… [Gallagher](http://www.onlineseats.com/upload/concerts/818_con_gallagher.jpg) 😃 [/QUOTE] My God. When did Gallagher turn into [Ron Jeremy?](http://www.thefishbowl.com/multimedia-albums/album70/RonJeremy.jpg) (who is NOT on my list of balding hunks, BTW!) ---

Patrick Stewart, without a doubt. Oh, the swooning that man makes me do. And it’s not even that I find him to be incredibly attractive that makes me admire him–he’s an excellent Shakespearean actor and pretty damned intelligent, to boot. If I could hang out with him for five minutes, those would be a very happy five minutes indeed. [sub]Lord, he’s only five years younger than my grandpa. Too weird.[/sub] ---

Not male, not losing hair. I just wanted to say that I find [Michael Ironside](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/MachTurtle/ironside.jpg) (who has been balding since his 20’s) extremely hot. That is all. ---

Andre Agassi should be the idol of all men losing their hair. He had that beautiful head of curls, but when he started going bald, off it all went. None of that pathetic denial, which is the only thing most women find unattractive about bald men. ---

Starting with an apology…Sorry…I nominate myself. I’m not a hunk, and am not trying to appear as a smartass, but as a normal guy, I’m OK with my baldness. Just a confluence of genes and hormones. I speak for every bald guy out there. ---

Is it totally shaved, or is it a ‘normal’ cut, with all the ‘deficiencies’ pronounced for all to see? ---

My husband says Homer Simpson. 😃 Mr. Stasaeon isn’t actually balding yet, but he’s got this minor widow’s peak he’s not fond of. He prefers to shave it all off, and has said that when/if ever he does start going bald, it’s all coming off for good. He looks kind of goofy when it’s all grown out. Cute, but goofy. Until he goes completely bald, I get to rub his pricklies! ---

First, thanks, **Purl**. Yowza! Is it just me, or is that some kind of funny fold in his loincloth that looks like Patrick was…very interested in something when the picture was taken? **ana** - so that’s what you kids are calling it these days! 😃 ---

[Pete Townshend](http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6429/1326/320/DSC00221.jpg) He likes to say that his hairline has “_recede-ED_”. ---
