I'm 5'5", burly, bearded and bald. I'm very comfortable with my "little sturdy Irishman" looks. I've been bald since my early 20s and I've never been uncomfortable with it. I have more fun with it than displeasure and it's amazing how many attractive ladies like to rub a bald head! To paraphrase Dr. Bernie Segal, "My daughters say a bald head makes me easier to find in a dark movie theatre!" Nope, I'm not gluing that dead cat rug onto my pretty scalp! I prefer to shine. By the way Dr. Phil, have you ever thought about going the Yul Brynner route and doing a clean shave? Every bald man needs to try it at least once. It would make a great segment for one of your shows! Best wishes always, David Hi Dr. Phil! I’m 5′5″, burly, bearded and bald. I’m very comfortable with my “little sturdy Irishman” looks.

Saw it one day on your site when my wife (who is an avid viewer) was discussing one of your stories and wanted me to read it online. Like you, I've been saying those same bald things for years. My dad was bald, his dad was bald, and I imagine its been that way for generations. I've embraced baldness- it too has become who I am. As a school psychologist (I'm known as "that bald one") and I have found myself assisting others in navigating their world with hair loss. For some, it is the usual male pattern baldness. However, for others, it is co-wprkers or friends losing their hair to chemotherapy or other medical-related hair loss issues. I eventually started a website to help others. I was hoping that one day I could use the site to generate funds to donate for pancreatic cancer research- which my father succumbed to a few years ago at 59....

I know you and Robin joke around alot but when she looks up at you the love in her eyes says it all. My grandfather was bald since before I was born. That man raised me and my two sisters and brother as my father was killed at the age of 28. My fathers parents wanted nothing to do with us but my "Pappa" did. I think that is why I am so partial to bald people. He like you just gave and gave without being asked. As I tried to say, its whats inside that counts and you'e got it. Just look at your wives eyes. I too love a bald man. He was my high school sweetheart that I gave up and I have paid for it everyday. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to speak with you. You don't need a wig - you've got it all.

Please don't mess that up!! As you are always saying, we live in a society that often has the wrong priorities -- like putting baldness at the top of the Maslow scale lol. Don't let the 24/7 infomercials for fake hair get to you. Hal Hey Dr. Phil,
