Well it would encourage unrealistic delusions, and generally lead to more frustration and upsetment. So i would say its not a good idea dude.

Funny how they chose someone with my level of baldness to represent the majority of nw2's on this site :mrgreen:. I was encouraged when I saw that picture by the simple fact that he had a hot gf hanging out with him. I didn't read the picture in a pecimistic sense...she doesn't look upset to me. The guy is good looking enough imo. Dresses smart and looks cool dare I say. I think it would be weird if he were smiling though, idk. You can sense that it is an issue with him. It's like this other thread where someone found a picture of a bald guy modeling glasses for some specs chain and you can see his lady behind him with a smile on her face looking at his ear or shoulder or something and some read into it like she couldn't bring herself to look at it, f-ing b1tch, etc. In that case I would argue that it would be worse if she was focusing on his head, starring at it. I just think we are not used to seeing bald people covered in a seriously realistic light by the media. :dunno:
Well I agree with the majority. They should keep the current picture. It is supposed to reflect those who suffer about their hair loss and get them to find solutions to it.
That said, there are only a number of guys who look good even when bald, because hair isn't the only attractive thing. It is just one of them. Bruce Willis/Agassi etc. have features that are good i.e. craniums that are big compared to their face, straight teeth, and they have no bad features from what I can see. The balding population shouldn't go with the notion balding will turn you into these superstars. Instead they should do self analyis.
So it's obvious why some want to keep their hair. It could be also so you can look the best you possibly can.
Personally hair is one of the few good features I have (I can go as far as saying it is kind of my only one) so I have a very good reason to try and keep it, for as long as I can at least.

I'm not sure why, but fat people look better bald. Just something less shocking about a bald head on top of a fat neck. :dunno: Maybe the same reason that skinny pale guys look so bad bald.
I think it all depends on facial and head structure rather than shape of the body.
When you think about it, hair that is good should make a bald person look better. If one thinks Vin Diesel looks better off the way he is because it gives him the badass/hardcore factor, I can see why. However with a head of hair he looks younger...so that can't make him look worse.
