I was a witness to attempted deception yesterday. I think it is called a “comb-over”. It has been awhile since I have noticed one. If you have never seen it count yourself lucky. A comb-over is when a guy who is bald on top lets the hair grow long on one side and combs it over the top of his head to try and cover up the baldness.
I don’t know why people bother. It is futile. It looks worse than just accepting the shiny pate. I am not sure why being bald is such a big deal. The only problem I have with it is dealing with the shine in my eyes when I am looking in a mirror and the light reflects. It is who I am and has nothing to do with my value as a human being.
Of course I feel the same way about dying my hair and jewelry. I don’t understand the concepts. I think of it as being like the ancient Chinese tradition of binding the feet of upper class women to keep them small.
So guys, if you have lost your hair embrace the reality. At the same time I am willing to let the ladies wear wigs if they choose.
