I went to a concert last night. The stage was nicely lit but for some reason there was fairly full lighting in the audience as well. I couldn't find a single guy who wasn't balding. Especially because of the staggered seating you could see what you typically could not. And it struck me. Jeepers... That really does happen to a lot of guys. Maybe there was an unrepresentative sample there or something... But it really does seem to happen to a lot of guys. And now I'm thinking of the adds on TV and that kind of stuff. And I think that is important to a lot of guys re their self image. And it did look a bit odd (it is interesting how different people seem to go bald a bit differently...) but I figured that though it looked a bit odd... If you really loved someone... Then I think you would grow to love that little quirk about them. I'm most self conscious about my stomach and my thighs and my upper arms. Really very self conscious. So hard to think that someone could love me in spite of that. Could grow to love that. If I thought someone loved me... Who am I kidding... I would run away in terror. I'm sorry.
