We get a lot of hits on the website from people searching keywords like "Women's opinions of bald men". Well, here's a pic of Mike with a couple of ladies at the St. Paul Saints game last summer. Looks like the ladies are liking his bald head just fine:

From "The Cueball Chronicles" by Suzy Hansen:

Hansen asks: Who discriminates more, men or women?

Kuntzman answers: Very glad you asked me that. There are academic studies that deal with this, and I updated them for my book as well. Men are much more likely to think of bald men in negative terms than women are.

Hansen: Do bald men know that?

Kuntzmann: No, that's the problem. The results are quite shocking and should hearten bald men around the world. I'm trying desperately - and hopefully with this interview - to get these results out because not enough bald men know. I've sent it to the Associated press but for some reason they just didn't have the guts to prove it.

We were contacted a few weeks ago by Elizabeth Bromstein with Now Magazine in Toronto, Canada to do a phone interview for an article she was working on relating to baldness. Here is the story:

Growing stable of hunky, hairless celebs is rebranding baldness

I found this article while surfing the web today:

Slaphead, chrome dome, baldie - people can be nasty when you lose your hair. So what's the solution?

At the age of 16, I was confronted with the stark realisation that God found my face too pretty for my fringe. I had started losing my hair.

I went to my GP to ask if he could please, please halt the hair dropping like stone from my adolescent head. He suggested a crew cut. With adolescent hormones raging, the news that I'd be bald before some of my peers' voices broke hit hard.

Each week, local "women about town" Anjl Rodee and Marilynn Mee answer OnMilwaukee.com readers' questions about relationships, romance and whatever else is on your mind.

Dear Anjl & Marilynn,

I have a question regarding men's hairstyles. I am balding and decided four years ago to shave my head completely bald for a cleaner look. I received a lot of positive attention from women at the time. However, over the last year or so I have noticed more men with longer hair and women paying less attention to bald-headed men. Is bald out and long hair in?

Have you ever seen a really attractive woman either dating or married to a less than average-looking man? Well, it happens. In fact, it happens a lot. So what have these men got that some really good-looking men don’t?

Well, our readers want to know if women love bald men, so I've attached a little proof. Take a look and you'll see what I mean!

Ummmm…. Yeah!  

We often get readers on the site who enter these exact key words when they’re searching the web: “Are bald men sexy?” Well, at the Brotherhood, we believe that bald men can be very sexy and we believe that the majority of women agree. In fact, we’re in the process of taking a survey to find out EXACTLY what women think. Yep… We’re going to bring you some proof in the form of survey results.

 I was on the internet one day and noticed that in the MSN Lifestyle section, there was a blog full of messages from people regarding men and receding hairlines. The question asked was: Should men even bother doing anything about a receding hairline? If so, what works? Here are a few of the answers that came in on that blog:

Julie Olson, Mission Coordinator 

So, I was getting my hair cut and colored a few weeks ago. I’ve got a new stylist and she does a great job. We started talking about the Brotherhood. I was talking about the guys who just don’t seem to understand that a balding head is not necessarily unattractive; but rather, it is all about the styling. She wholeheartedly agreed with me. If you’ve read some of my articles, you know that I don’t believe that shaving it all off works for every balding male, but I do believe that balding men have great options available to them and I’d like to see more of them take advantage of those options!
