"Why is it that us men are so handsome even without makeup?"

I know you are kidding but it is a profound question anyway. Men and women all look nice plain. I don't see how there is anything wrong with the before pictures. Displayed like this how must these women feel when they are home alone? Why do we do that to people? Being clean and fresh and combed and honest and good should be the criteria.

I think men are handsome including those who are bald. I don't like all this hair transplant stuff. It must be like millions of dollars to businesses. TV ads try hard to convince men they need hair. My father was bald as a cue ball with a little fringe around the bottom. He won WWII and then came home and raised me. Hair did not matter in the important things.

A lot of it has to do with expectations. We expect women to be in makeup (or used to), but we don't expect men to be in makeup. Therefore, we ignore the slight imperfections in men that we notice in women.

As to bald men, the reason for hair transplants is that no matter what women say, they will avoid bald men, with the exception of the buff Mr. Clean head shaved guy. Most women want a guy that's fairly tall with a good head of hair. Bald guys have to offset the appearance of aging that balding suggests with a very good build if they want to have success with women. Unfortunately, many try to offset it with big sideburns and a mustache. If you top it off with birth control glasses, a white short sleeve shirt and a skinny tie, you have an assistant manager at Kmart.
