Maybe it's because I've been watching a lot of old movies and comedies from the 70s/80s where actors didn't shave their heads to deal with male pattern baldness (think Jack Nicholson, Sean Connery, Richard Harris, George Carlin, Bill Murray, but I kinda admire how they didn't give a flying f*** about balding. I tried to imagine these guys growing up today, with their heads shaved and pretty much none of these guys would look better bald. In fact they look more masculine by keeping their hair.
But these days people say it's "pathetic" and "clinging" to be visably balding and not to shave, but surely it's more confident than shaving your head because you're NW2.5 or have a bald spot? I know sometimes shaving is better - especially if your badly difuse thining - but often even balding guys still benefit from having some hair to frame the face.
I've got nothing against head shaving, but I think it's over-prescribed and I don't like how people act like every man HAS to shave once he's balding.
