I have four amazing brothers, all incredibly successful and attractive but one has been forced to shave his head (ultimate hair loss due to massive stress, emotional issues) and he is NOT dealing with it very well. Add that to going through a divorce, trying to sell a business, needing to lose a bunch of weight and well, this is a guy in a bad spot. I stay in touch with him daily, hoping to offer a shoulder and some objective counsel, but can you suggest anything, other than reinforcing that "chicks did bald guys" that I can share with him?

That's the very first thing I did before even posting here - I really hope he finds support and encouragement on this site... I think what I've read so far is really genuine and could be just what he needs to embrace his new life.

Do you think its appropriate for me to send him website links, books, products, stuff to help him know that its a positive thing for him versus being so down on himself? He was seeing someone pretty seriously during his separation and she broke it off right about the time he shaved his head - now he's convinced she left him because of the way he looks. I say if any female should leave a man because of that they really didn't know or love them enough in the first place and he's better off (of course my brother isn't in a place to want to hear that right now).

Send him on over.
If she left because of him shaving then its her problem not his.

I really love your quote PBurke, really great. Its so surprising to be to hear the support in these postings - women are far too judgmental (most women) to allow themselves to be exposed to others this way - I'm really impressed with the level of communication on this site.

Trust us. Get him over here. We'll take it from there. I have never seen a bunch of guys look after their own the way we do. We'll him him out.
