IMHO-doing something about his hairloss would imply acknowledging genetic imperfection and thats something unacceptable for royal family- kings were seen as supermans who have hereditary right to rule. They were not ordinary people and everything on them was perfect and no one could question that, even if it was not true.

But hes "lucky" anyway. Do you think he could pick up girl on level of Kate Middleton as ordinary young baldie? Noooo way.

How people judge, and scrutinize someone over their hair loss in anonymity and privacy behind their computer screen is exactly how people perceive, and feel about those who are balding in every day life.

I like when people showcase themselves for their true nature instead of the false perception they show in every day actives. But that's part of being a 'grown up' is numbing, and hiding how you actually feel about someone for proper social dynamics and every day etiquette. Ever notice how children can easily make fun, poke and tease others for flaws? Well that's part of being a child having little repercussions, consequence and low inhibition for their actions. Grown ups feel the same way, but have to give you false hope on how they actually feel.

Sorta like when a women goes out with her friends and drinks, and has unattractive men hit on her at a club, and bar. She feels invisible to tell you how she actually feels with disgust.

Yes!! And they are usually they same people who will straight up tell a guy that hair loss is no big deal.

But once they get together privately, or behind their computer screen, the real truth is revealed. They will mock any man for trying to save his hair. Or, god forbid, he has a hair transplant.

being a man is all about learning to handle suffering. that is so true about how you have to wear a mask and fake toughness when you get older (or are a man).

To be honest, William does look awful. He should at least shave his head at the side and backs to a number 1 or 2.

To say he couldn't do anything about it is also false. He's got no worries about money, can hire the top specialists and have a decent hair transplant. He can at least create a decent hairline which would already be a huge improvement. He could then fill the back with a hair piece. The problem is the mentality in the UK is pathetic - let's go bald and have natural crooked, yellow teeth because anything else is ''vain.'' The majority follow this terrible logic.

Is the UK really this uniform when it come to people's appearance. I keep hearing this on these threads.
Surely there are some areas of "alternative" types?

We have to keep quiet otherwise we get shouted down that we're vain/superficial. Hair loss is ''f"""" all to do with that, look at William he looks an ill man. The mentally is terribly backward.

If you're in the UK you should never not do something big for your aethetics for fear of looking vain. Everyone below 40 is vain. Most people above 40 are vain and those that aren't are usually because they're the ugly ones who've spent the last 30 years being ridiculed for it.

Good post. And this is exactly how I learnt years ago about girls saying things about bald men, ugly men e.t.c.

Prince William is "balding gracefully" like a Royal, it's historical and traditional. It has been mentioned before. Also I don't think his hair loss bothers him that much, if it did he would take action as he can/could have. I know he has it all but in his position the hair loss would still bother me for personal identity and feel good factor.

 

[Agustin Araujo]

Notice that the worst rated comment is also related to hair as well, and it's about William shaving his leg hair. Hair itself really is pure proof that it effects every single aspect of aesthetics, whether positive or negative.

Anyone who's stupid enough to go on the Daily Mail regularly (I'm not a regular, but sometimes I'm stupid enough to browse it, and I don't even know why I just get sucked in) knows how inconsistent the comment section is. I know this looks pretty conclusive, because the top comments are voted on by everyone, but those people are all idiots, you'll see for yourself in many articles there's a top comment which is actually false, and someone will reply to the comment contradicting it, and they get a huge amount of green arrows as well? I mean, which is it?

Obviously people are "cruel" about baldness (maybe cruel isn't the word, just, honest or realistic) but the commenters tend to get in a frenzy with certain thoughts that for some reason other people quickly buy into, and in this case I think the completely fleeting nature of how they discussed baldness is not usually how they would feel when discussing it in more sympathetic terms, if they really thought it through and realised that they're referring to a human being, and empathised with their situation.

The unfiltered brain certainly thinks cruel thoughts off the cuff, but humans are more complicated creatures than that, and I couldn't put a number on this but more people aren't as eternally blunt about baldness as that comment section suggests.

No doubt that there's plenty of people out there that practically laugh at baldness or take some kind of sick enjoyment in acknowledging it though.
