Should I be worried about losing my hair?
My hair has been receding since I was 19. I never tried to cover it up, and was never tempted to do the Trump thing.
And frankly, it never particularly bothered me. I've got a lot (a lot) of other insecurities, including physical ones, but that one never bothered me.
And yet, a lot of people point it out. Children, my parents, colleagues all seem to remark upon it in subtle and not so subtle ways. I'm not sure why.
And it puts a man at a disadvantage with women: it signals a loss of virility, although I feel as virile as ever.
It's funny... it is the one thing I'm not self-conscious about... and the world is pretty aggressive at signaling to me that I really should be.
And I don't want to be. But I'm also not up to fighting the world, at least not on this battlefield.
