I agree and the same goes for comments on weight too

Yeah, that's one of those things I'm trying to work on with my own mindset.

I've tended to be quite judgemental of overweight people, but for a good proportion a lot of it will be down to genetics.
I'm a skinny man, but I've always been skinny regardless of what I eat or drink, that's just luck of the draw with my metabolism.
It's slowly catching up with me as I get older, but there are plenty who'll put weight on a lot easier and quicker than I do from eating the exact same thing.

Obviously to an extent you can definitely control it with diet and exercise, but I'm coming around to the idea that it's not that simple for many people.

I wouldn't say it's sexual harassment, but I do think it's the sort of comment that should be discouraged in today's society.

Most people don't choose to be bald, so it's not really fair to negatively comment on it.

Totally agree and it’s also true baldness is a trait that is linked more to men than women but I don’t think that’s enough to make it a sexual harassment case.
 
I'm kinda bald. I say 'kinda' because I've let it go gracefully and shave it weekly. I really don't know why anyone tries to hang onto a few wisps of hair😂

I couldn't care less if someone called me bald. I definitely wouldn't call it sexual harassment. I imagine if you went into HR and said 'I've just been called bald and it's sexual harassment' you'd get laughed out. Now if they had said 'I'd love to f*ck a bald guy' then yes it's of an sexual nature.

Offensive? Maybe depending on who you are saying it too. You definitely wouldn't say it to someone you'd just met.

Yep that's my first thought. You could make a claim to it being sexist perhaps as its a male problem (generally speaking), but it's nothing like sexual harrassment.
I agree it's one of those things that people think is fine, and for most on the receiving end it probably is, but there will be plenty who are sensitive to it and don't need it mentioning every half hour.
 
Losing one's hair can be devestating (for some) especially when it happens in your 20s.

I noticed the thinning starting at about 35 - I acted quick and shaved it early. Embracing it is the best way forward, trying to hang on to it adds to the stress I think.
I know someone that has had a transplant - he just got it done out of the blue - I thought he looked good bald - his new found barnet just doesn't quite look right to me.

Wayne Rooney's seems to be standing up to the test of time though.

Has anybody thought about getting this done?
