these rock guys can do that they want, their image consultant has no influence on what they do, what about rob halford?
ok he is hats a lot for promos, but i have seen him take stage without hat or glasses and just a goutee!
judas priest are pretty large!
jordan ruddess from DT is also recently bald, although is a beard compensator (although not always)

what about lars ulrich, that guy receeds like hell, ok it was early 40s but still, thats some high recession
also half the time the beard makes little difference on open air concerts, check system of a down or slayer, these guy still look like trash due to Hairloss.
anyway...
yes no one is saying you NEEED to be perfect in face (and hair is a big part of what makes your face look like),height,body.
that is just silly.
however all we are communicating is that the two big things for a guy usually is the face and the height, and hair or lack thereof can actually destroy faces (examples brad pitt, joe satriani + 100s of guys i see on the street).
and + there is still a lot of general negative social stigma of "the bald guy" who isnt 6 ft and looks like vin diesel, especialy when in the bar 99% of the guys are NW1, i mean occasionally i see bald guys in bar but at each time I have seen them they have
1. looked better than i did bald (which wasn't hard anyway)
&
2. and are at least 4 inches taller than me (again, not a hard accomplishment for most guys)
so what I mean when to say my genetic life is a joke would be an understatement since im basically the lowest end of looks guy (and due to baldness) and shorter guy in bar!
do I "NEED" hair, i would personally say...yes....yes i do.
do I "NEED" height, well i'd say doing one LL surgery to make me 5' 6.5" should make me more normal, I'd say I would highly benefit from that, i'ts not as if im sitting in a corner saying i need height or kill me, im just saying i'd highly benefit from being 2 inches taller.
so im not crazy, im just very much disadvantaged, it's kinda obvious, I can see that.
also as far as height goes it's been recognised since the dawn of human mating the importance of male height, it's almost well known in society that if you turn up short ( 5 7) or tall (6 0) that will affect the way women see you as a potential mate.
at the end of the day i do have real problems, im not crazy, i saw some guy who was 5 9 on a height forum, he has like 1000s of posts and is trying to obtain his dream height of 6 3 doing some crazy exercises
now THAT guy is crazy, I mean 5 9 is a good height for a guy, if i woke up 5 9 tomorow i'd be soo happy and have a great life, i wouldn be on a forum all day trying to become 6 3 or something lol
