so not to be mean or anything, but it's suddenly come to my attention that a large portion of the my-age-ish men that i come across (and consider stalking before noticing the wedding rings or discovering the girlfriends) are unambiguously balding.
my first instinct was to succumb yet again to the wrist-slitting depression that accompanies the repeated realization that i'm rapidly aging. yet again i ask myself if i'm doomed to choose between slightly revolting men or dying alone with my inevitable cats.
then again, maybe it's better to know about the baldness up front, becoming smitten by a slightly imperfect, a-little-less-shaggy-than-he-used-to-be grad student, bald spot and all, then it is then to wake up one morning to discover that the shaggy head of hair you used to love is insidiously thinning.
when life hands you lemons...

two things to consider:
1) one has to be cautious with the guys who still have shaggy heads of hair. i think we owe it to ourselves to at least see pictures of their families before letting the hair weigh heavily in our attractions to them.
2) i give a plus-minus to the moby solution of buzzcut. i think it looks great on some people - otherwise athletic guys with a reasonably positive attitude, or if not positive, at least artsy or charmingly neurotic. but those pouty people with little-man complex cannot wear buzzcut (makes them look foolish; they're better off with a combover or something to at least make them look academic). also nobody with terribly strong religious leanings; makes me feel like they should don a robe and head back to the compound.
