What a wacky thread... those people on that other forum are way out there, IMO. I had no idea that there was still any segment of the human population still tripping on a head of hair.
Good call on citing the fact that baldness is not a disease that needs to be cured. Even if the guy's not in shape, it sounds like with a shaved head, he could still look pretty bad-ass in Korea where the population doesn't seem to be very comfortable with baldness.
Hope the guy can sort this out an avoid a transplant surgeon. I have known two guys personally that had that surgery. One looked like he used pubic hair... it was freaky. I was a bank teller at the time (this was 20 years ago and the procedure was way noticeable) and I was being trained; my supervisor whispered to me as he came into the branch "Don't stare." "At what?" and then I looked at him. And stared.
The other guy was a friend in my old neighborhood. His was done pretty well but then one day he clippered the back of his head and I saw his scars and my initial suspicions were 100% confirmed.
