Don, I don't want you to get offended when I say this, but what did you come here hoping to find? You clearly feel incomplete without hair, and I don't get the sense you are trying to wrap your mind around being bald before taking the plunge like others here. It almost seems akin to a hair transplant rep or user coming to this site, and freaking out when people are comfortable with having no hair, whether via MPB or by choice(as in my case).
Not that I myself(not speaking for everyone here) don't welcome a different viewpoint or anything, but the idea that adult men(and what constitutes an adult btw, because some people lose hair in high school) are lucky if they don't lose their hair is the exact opposite of what this website is all about having spent a great two months or so here. And i'm not sure you are going to be comfortable with that.

What I really meant by some men are lucky enough to have their own hair was taken out of context. What I was saying was that if a balding young man sees an older man with his own full head of hair it's certainly not falsyfying adulthood as Professor Melon said. It's just that everyone is different with different genes.Age has nothing to do with baldness.It's testosterone and heredity.On the other hand if a man wears a hairpiece why should it be publicly stripped off. That's viscious and nobody has the right to do that.After all there are still enough bald men walking around so balding young men can identify with them.So how are adult men with hairpieces falsyfying adulthood.It's just personal choice. Like I said there are plenty of bald men out there for young balding men not to feel like a minority.Also I only wear my hair once in awhile if I'm going someplace special and want to feel more dressed up.I'm not totally dependant on it.There's nothing wrong with that.

I think the eloquent and pensive professor was employing a literary device known as "hyperbole" or extreme exageration to make a point.
Kinda like if the professor were to say, "if that obnoxious student ever said that in MY class...I'd knock his friggen head off." I wouldn't say, "man....murder ain't the answer, sir....isn't beheading the poor boy a little extreme?"
I dunno...that's my 2 cents
Whether I agree or disagree with the good professor....I sure like the way he says it.
