157.0. "Hair today, gone tommorrow" by USCTR1::MAHER_B (MA-HA) Fri Feb 24 1995 14:10

    Gentlemen & Others,
    	Since this is a men's conference I have a question to pose, I'm
    reaching the age of 40 and have notice that the hair is thinning
    (Molting is more like it).  Since this is a common thing for men how
    have some of you handle this change both in the mind and on the head?

    I just tell them that I _earned_ every missing and grey hair I have.
    So I like it just the way it is, thank you ;^).

    I've heard this said:
    
    "A bald head is nothing more than solar panels for a sex machine..."

    A friend of mine said, "God made only a certain amount of perfect heads.
    The others he covered with hair".  :-)

       Your also the first to know it's raining. Just remember you have
    to be able to laugh at yourself. And besides it's what's on the inside
    that counts not what's on your head.

    previously.

    On a somewhat more serious note: remember that how you see yourself and
    how you carry yourself have a lot of bearing on how other people react
    to you.  If when you think of bald men, you think of Danny DeVito, I
    can see why you're scared.  If you think instead of, say, Patrick
    Stewart, it's a different story!

157.16Keep that RogaineGMASEC::CLARKWed Mar 01 1995 21:0610
    I have lost a few and refer to them as the cowardly hairs. Only the
    brave and tough hairs stay around this long especially after some of 
    the places I have taken them in life. It is also linked to the more
    sex hormones, the less hair. It worries me when I see someone going 
    through all kinds of emotional turmoil over this. Last I knew Rogain
    was over $40 per week and the week you stop, the fallout occurs at an
    alarming rate. Wonder what the long term effects of this drug will be,
    say 10 years after beginning it. Besides, anyone who doesn't prefer
    us because our hair is thinning/rapidly retreating, can take a suck
    pill and die.

    How about, "my forehead has become a fivehead".

157.19CHANGES IN BODY HAIR IN GENERALMR4DEC::RONDINAThu Mar 02 1995 09:069
    Anyone want to talk about loss of body hair in general.  As for me,
    I've retained about 95% of my scalp hair. However, hair on legs is
    thin, but hair on back is getting thicker. Also changing color, once
    dark brown/black, now lighter brown with occassional gray showing up.
    
    Sign me, 
    Another baby boomer realizing their mortality,

    I will agree with your note 100%!!! Also Sean Conroy of boomers 007
    fame carries well. And was into weights once... maybe still.

    Notes .23 and .25 were deleted because I've noticed that there were
    cultural diferences in the way we see the matter.
    
    Those were the kind of advice most guys would like to hear around here,
    and I intended to be helpful, not offensive. Sorry if I was.
