My BF just started using Rogain, I'm so glad that he's on the cutting edge of this. His father has hair plugs -- should I be worried about our disposable income?

@Chaim Gnadelstein:
"What to they got over there that we ain't got here?"

That's classic Texan!
I lived in Texas for two years back in the early 90's. A couple of my observations: One of the things that drives this type of point of view is that Texans take great pride in the Republic of Texas and will be quick to remind you that Texas is the only state that was once it's own country. And I have never seen a state that so prominently displays it's state flag -- EVERYWHERE. (bonus points to the NYers who can even identify the NY flag much less describe it).

And if you REALLY want to know what is behind the Texas character, go visit the Alamo and sit through and read the presentations. Then you will know what it means to be a Texan!!

@drunkexpatwriter:

He actually does. I reckon that's about as far as deducing "that certain je ne sais quoi" in a woman goes amongst your typical Texan good ol' boys.

I've also heard him decry the idea of traveling to other countries, forming his central argument around the question, "What to they got over there that we ain't got here?"

The kid's entertaining enough to drink a Rolling Rock and a shot with, but really, fuck help him.

That's the ad that 's being marketed at gay consumers? I mean, I guess they did ask Nick Swardson to gain 50 pounds for the role of the "Rogaine foam user," so that's a start.

@Gloppy:

I have a friend (with a full head of hair) who for some inexplicable reason gets really mad at the sight of bald men with shaved heads because he feels as though they are trying to "trick" people. He's like "Dude. Everyone knows you're bald." It's amongst the most retarded reasoning for anything I've ever heard. Apparently bald men must maintain their natural "crown" or "receded strip" or whatever as their default look, as choosing the shaved style makes you a bald, lying bastard.

Anyway, he's from Texas.

BettyCrocker — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 12:07:03 EST

@drunkexpatwriter: That theory works. Also: by the time in a gay courtship that dicks are being compared, the only dealbreakers are usually dirty or seriously tiny.

@bettycrocker: I also read once that statistically gay dudes have somewhat bigger dicks than straight dudes so they may have less reason to worry about their dick size.

It could also be that since gay dudes see more dicks than straight dudes they worry less about their own size because they know what normal sized dicks look like.

@drunkexpatwriter: Actually, that's true to a point. But the subset of gay guys who worry about baldness are usually in their 20s or early 30s, and those who can also afford male escorts + pricey baldness cures are not that numerous.

After 35 or so, a Gay is officially an Old, and migrates from Splash and Chelsea Piers to Gym Bar and XL.

It's like Logan's Run with no boobies.

They probably are hitting the right market.

If you go to sites where dudes are looking for female escorts are the ads are for pills to make your dick bigger.

But, if you go to sites where dudes are looking for male prostitutes most of the ads are for baldness cures.

This makes me assume that gay dudes worry about baldness the same way straight dudes worry about dick size.

I heard they had a really hard time telling if his hair was real or not. They made him take a swim, blow dry, and run his fingers through his hair, and they still couldn't tell if it was fake!
