MPB or BBC

Saw another thread and there a discussion started about BBC being better than MPB and people questioning the defenition. Hope this poll ends that discussion, just either or.....

Do we have to have this divisive post every month?

I agree.  its all been done before, and usually ends up with arguments.  What's one man's idea of MPB is someone else's idea of BBC.

Some guys on here go on about being cursed with MPB and when i see their hairline I think, 'WOW!  That's just like my hairline, but I only consider myself BBC!'  It's all a matter of opinion.  I CAN grow a full head of hair (it's just receding at the temples, so therefore I'm BBC! 8)

This topic has been brought up more than once.  If someone is still interested I say use the search box on this site and type in MPB or BBC and all the discussions will come up (after all that's what a search box is designed for).   Cheers.

Just answer the question! Think i made it very clear. No discussion about it! The only way out is: "i ave no clue", but than u should visit another forum.

Enough already! Didn't we already have quite a few discussions/threads on this?

Like Math said, look up past threads if you want any discussions and info.

Put it to bed already!      :/O

Nope don't want any discussion, just want an answer? The fact that guys in here think this Q is such an issue, i cannot comprehend.

But the answers are found in the discussions.  So the guys don't feel like repeating themselves over and over and over and over.  You get what I mean?

Plain and simple: it comes across as an attempt to identify who's "more sly" than others. Divisive and not in the spirit of this site.

Anyone who shaves their head is bald by choice. Anyone. Just because someone is MPB doesn't mean that a razor accidentally fell on their head and removed all their hair.

Now if you wanted to start a poll asking whether guys have a full head of hair or not, that'd be fine. But characterizing anyone who head shaves as not BBC is going to raise rankles.

Whatever guys, if you don't want to have the discussion then why are you posting???
Dave is new I am more than happy to let him know as well any1 else who asks that I do not have a full head of hair.
so I voted MPB.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, That's why it's called the present!

Back when I used to hang out on travel forums, there would be endless discussions of "tourists vs. travelers."

On my skiing and snowboarding forums they debate "are you a 'skier' or just a 'person who skis?'" On one of the sites a poster once assembled links to a whole bunch of other forums in which there was the same kind of debate going on: are you a surfer or a just a person who surfs? are you a kayaker or just a person who kayaks? are you a golfer or just a person who golfs? Etc.

I've always puzzled over this seeming need to create artificial ranks and divisions of supposed authenticity among people who share a common interest.

As usual, The Bear nailed it.  EVERYONE on here is bald by choice, unless every strand of hair just FELL OUT one day! :D
