I'm trying to identify the feeling I have about what must be a serious issue for the 45-year-oldish attorney I saw today, who had a full head of hair at one time, but has lost most of it rather ungracefully.
Nature, which we know can be very cruel with its practical jokes, has chosen to leave this particular guy with the regular balding pattern, the ring of hair around his head above his ears, and then, cruelly, as it seems, hair on the very front part of his scalp. I suppose that looking at him straight on, it could appear that he has a full head of hair, when properly coiffed.
That's the problem, though. Looking at him straight on was well nigh impossible because the guy was, by my best estimation, an inch or so over 4’ 11” on a good day.
I am not making fun of him, but -- what's the line in the Clint Eastwood movie -- "A man's got to know his limitations." What might look pretty good staring full face on at the mirror might not look too good from a slightly higher angle, an angle that most of the adult population has.
I didn’t mention anything to him. I'll leave that to his barber …
Gross!! If I was a man, I would shave it off - often totally bald is more sexy than little threads or tuffs of hair.
