Trying to get a report out but couldn't resist the lede, then read the whole thing. I'm so glad I took the time, it was beautifully written, made some great points, and perked me up considerably.

And Sasha is definitely hot, but I find "intelligent-looking" to be the hottest feature in men.

Thanks for such a terrific diary.

I really could not agree more. Well, "intelligent-looking" and "sexy Slavic accent" ... :D

It's just that he's gone and shaved his head completely. I don't understand what possesses men to shave their heads bald for fear that people will ... see they are going bald. Perhaps Jerome can comment on this very curious and upsetting trend. </ducks, runs>

And I am glad I could perk you up!

Obviously these men are not being adequately informed of all of their options...

Re: Many thanks (none / 0)

Because bald looks better than balding? To me that's a no-brainer.

I'm clearly in the minority here. Sigh.

So you think a receding hairline to the middle of the skull or two patches of hair above the ears look better than a smooth head?

In my defense (4.00 / 2)

I cut my hair very short already even when I still had some. It's just more comfortable to me.

Strangely enough, I know I'm bald but I don't see myself as bald. I don't know if that makes any sense, but here you go.

Re: In my defense (none / 0)

I'm fine with cutting it really very short. It's the "Omg I'm going bald so now I will shave my entire head!" panic I don't get. Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. I still have kompromat of yours truly after scary total-head-shaving incident! lol.
