Title: Advantages - lots. Disadvantages - cant think of any!!!!
Post by: The Scottish Ambassador on November 25, 2008, 02:53:46 AM
Advantages - no wet hair when you come out the shower, no wet hair running down your face when in the pool, no hair gel or styling products to buy, no time to spend in the morning when you are running late to make hair look half decent before you go out.

Disadvantages - cant think of any. Can you?

agreed.  being bald can have many advantages. 

Well, there is the one disadvantage.  None of us can run on camera in slow motion whipping our hair around.  Darn.   :(

 ;D

I can see that now.  You in your red and whites running with a torch in your hand.  The torch would have a bald guy's head on the top.  The flame would be coming out from where his hair would usually be.   ;D

Hey There - Have lurked around for a few years. But found this topic to be compelling enough to respond to. 

Advantages:
1 - Easier to shave my head then have what little hair I had trimmed.  Got tired of being the only bald guy in the barbershop.
2 - Outside, so much easier to get a good rubdown of sun protection, without hair getting matted up.
3 - No one can tell that I'm both prematurely bald and then prematurely gray !
4 - I'm always the first to know when it starts raining outside.
5 - Finally and most important - since I've been thin haired since late teens - up to full pattern baldness in my 30's - being bald gives my Doctor total visibility for precancer developments.  I'm in every 3-6 months to have spots frozen off.

Disadvantages:
1 - Very sensitive to temperature changes - it's like my head is a living thermometer.
2 - Cost of the 'really good' razor blades I like to use.
3 - Without my goatee I've been accused of looking like a 'male appendage' with eye brows.
4 - Have to maintain a good inventory of hats - of which I keep one in each of my cars / out in my garage / hanging by the front door - stuffed into my winter coats etc. etc.
5 - Finally - There are no other disadvantages I can think of...and the 4 above are a stretch.

In conclusion - advantages clearly out weigh disadvanatages....highly recommend it !
