there are ads all over the television and sports page about treatments for hair loss for men. But why bother? Baldness and receding hairlines are very masculine. It is true. Many men lose their hair, but most chicks do not.

It is said Bing Crosby used to refuse to go outside unless he was wearing his wig or a hat. Even though he was getting plenty of trim on the side, he still had to worry about his image. when all he really needed was a decent singing voice, lots of money, and a passable soft shoe routine.

On some primal level men realize this. More and more women have been joining the police, the military, and the prison population. The average hair length of policemen, soldiers, man athletes, and convicts has likewise been decreasing. Men have to find new ways to showcase manliness as women take traditional male roles.

It even happened with adult-level soccer.

It doesn't just stop at hair. As chicks keep getting more and more tattoos, dudes are getting even more tattoos. It is science.
