One thing I don't get, is why baldness is considered ugly today. In other great apes, it's a symbol of alpha status and masculinity combined with life experience; in previous centuries, it was in fact considered attractive in humans as well—and since it's caused by testosterone, then it can't be bad if you're otherwise healthy?
A couple points, being bald myself. 1. We are not apes, we are humans, and yes, there is a big difference. 2. Quit comparing apples to oranges and you may actually start to understand women. 3. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 4. Women, as well as men, who make looks a major issue in finding a mate are shallow and are not worth the time of day. My number one requirement in a mate is a well balanced brain. This leads me to my final point. If you want to see a parting of the Red Sea, watch my gorgeous vivacious wife enter an officer's club. I did not chase after her because of how good looking she was - on purpose. Again, brains first. She chased after me - and when I discovered that not only did she have a brain, but a master's degree and a 136 IQ, and she actually cared for me because of who I am, yow! She is my soul mate and the most glorious days of my life have been with her. Yes, she's 7 years older than me (54) and she looks drop-dead gorgeous. Not one gray hair and she is in great shape. But aging changes things and the time will come where she will lose that. Nonetheless, I love her a google-plex more now than the day I married her. And that love still grows because, at the risk of making you puke, we have a Christ-centered marriage and that is why it will last.
