I have shaved my head for 20 years. I know a lot of others that do the same. A lot of us think we look better and younger by shaving our heads. I like it more than the white fringe I shaved off. I had a lot of people especially women tell me how much better and yhounger looking I was after I shaved it off, especially my wife who said I looked 20 years younger. She would not let me grow back the fringe as she hated the old man look it gave me before I shaved. She and I have been married for 64 years so she has seen me with hair and without it, and prefers me to have the bald look. I have 2 sons that liked my look and shaved their heads 10 years ago and everyone likes their looks much better this way.
If you are offended by that add, you are not thinking right. Shave your head, and join the rest of the men that do it, some as young as their 20s, that hated their hair and tried going bald and will never go back. The ladies tell them they like the bald look, and several of the the single men young men I knew that went bald actually dated and married better looking women after going bald. The women told them they looked much more masculine when they went bald.
I started losing my hair at 18. Was bald by 25. I keep the sides short. I don't have the head for shaved look. I could care less. My girlfriend loves it. Look at Vin diesel or Jason statham.
Fat shaming SHOULD be a thing. There's nothing wrong with shaming someone for their unhealthy habits.
A man can't help losing his hair, but everyone can keep from being a fatty.
Nonsense.
There are many documented medical causes for being overweight or obese.
And you are stating that the obese should be shamed in a manner that society does not find acceptable for any other unhealthy habit. No one goes up to smokers and smacks cigars out of their hands, no one goes to people's homes and shamed them for binge watching Netflix instead of hitting the gym, even drug addicts get counseling and help to overcome their addictions. The difference is fat people get singled out for the way they look. No one shames unhealthy skinny people including you.
There are things that are "okay" to make fun of. Men in general seem to be fair targets. Husbands and dads in particular. And heaven knows anyone speaking the name of Jesus better get used to being scorned and scoffed at! PC doesn't apply to all.

True - as a skinny, bald guy who prefers larger women (BBW's/SSBBW's), I do think "fat shaming" is reprehensible. I don't think a lot of people who are overweight can help it - any more than guys who have male pattern baldness can help that.
Because baldness is so common and attractive in today's society...
Whether it is attractive is personal preference. But being clean shaven bald is not common, except perhaps in a Black community. I saw hundreds of men at the airport yesterday, only about 2 percent were clean shaven.

They should. All of those are self-imposed bad habits. You SHOULD be criticized and ridiculed for your self-destructive habits. Fatties, smokers, druggies... They're all fair game.

Shaming is not constructive. It doesn't help anyone's mental health, including the shamer. If you do not struggle with your weight, then you have a gift. If you work to maintain your slim shape, then you still have a gift. Many of us will never be able to be slim. I also do not agree that you can equate slimness with health. Plenty of people starve or purge to be slim. That's not healthy.
You really cannot know the challenges of people simply by looking at them. It is far better to simply reserve judgement.
And, keeping the weight off gets progressively harder the older you get.
