Most men are slowly losing their hair...Some doctors have reported that 50% of men will show significant signs of balding by their 40's and the rest will be bald by the time they are in the senior category. Are there exceptions? - sure, but let me impart some wisdom on you. I realize that a lot of bodybuilders are concerned with appearance. It takes a strong person to admit that this stems from insecurities. I'm insecure. I race because I want to beat the guy next to me. When I'm on a group ride, and climbing a mountain or in the woods, and someone passes me - I feel inadequate. A guy who body builds is probably doing the same thing on a different level. You want to be the most jacked, cut, guy in the room....even if subconsciously. Nothing wrong with that - many great things were borne of this drive - but don't let it become neurosis. Of course people are initially attracted through appearance, but this is a very initial thing, and if it isn't backed up by genuine human qualities then it's gone in 60 seconds. The guy who is the most liked, and most successful (however you judge success) at the end of the day is usually the guy who is at peace with himself, and wants to share that peace with others. It's charisma, attitude, charm...it's the intangibles. One of the biggest movie stars in the world is damn near completely bald, and he started going bald before he ever became a big time star......now that I've said all this I'm going to run to the bathroom and check my hairline.
