I have been teasing my brother about his thinning hair, but I think he is starting to feel bad about it and I feel baaaadddd about giving him a hard time about it. Is this really something that men get offended about? Now, I have to make it up to him. Any ideas? other than buying him a bottle of Jack Daniels?

I never got offended about it. Started loosing my hair in my late 20's, it continued to progress, and all I could do was cut it shorter to not look like a Trump cover up. I finally decided to shave it, what was left, about 5 years ago, and don't look back. Love the clean look, very easy maintenance, less then going to a barber, and the ladies say it's sexy!!!

For what it's worth, I never make fun of any physical characteristic, especially if it's something they have no control over. Life is a lot smoother that way.

You hurt the ones you love, right? You could shave your head to show you really care.

I get more "hair" comments now that I am shaved bald, then I did with a very short cut. I personally don't care, somewhat big shoulders here, but you are right, some people offer offensive comments to things I can not control. I just take it as ignorance, and blow it off. They don't know me, and why I am this way.

Well, I did find something that should make him feel better. I discovered that bosley offers free consultations and I told him about it. I think he was not happy with my suggestion, though. What is it that they say about grief? He is in the denial stage ... ... I am not a mean sister. In fact, I am a lot nicer than he is - he used to make me cry teasing me about my weight, but this is really something that I think is too sensitive to discuss. I guess I learned my lesson the hard way :(

Some may shrug it off and go on with their lives not caring if their head started losing its hair but there are some (like your brother) who’s a little bit conscious and would be hurt by your teasing. Make it a double bottle of Jack Daniels LOL

Hey, I know you! I'm sorry if my insensitive remarks about women approaching you in casinos, and your inability to master the Mandarin language offended you.

If and only if he brings this up again I would say if transplants are good enough for Touchdown Tommy Bundchen-Brady then they should be good enough for "my brother". But that's me as a guy talking, who keeps making the mistake around women of offering solutions to problems like this when only later do I realize they really just want sympathy. Can't help but wonder your ages when he was teasing you to the point of tears over your weight. If it was years ago in your youth, I think we'd be heading down the rabbit hole...

WAIT-I know! Just change the subject!!! "Hey- How about them (fill in sports team here).

I started losing hair in my 20's. I was self-conscious about it then. My girlfriend even refused to marry me because she knew I'd be bald. I started the comb-over to hide it, but a friend who was a beautician, offered to cut my hair saying she had numerous male customers too. After getting in the chair she chopped the comb-over off, and said I'd look much better without it. I never looked back. I since found the woman of my dreams; married her, and we have had a great marriage for 34 years. I can laugh at myself, and enjoy any of the bald jokes at my expense. Today, I feel hair is over rated!
