If Joe had 'just shaved it bro' at the age of 25 he would not have had the career that he's had. He'd likely not have got the job on the News Radio show in the 90's. He's a rich well known 50 year old on test and hgh - very different to a skinny 20 year old kid shaving their head.
@@JakeKent he was good looking guy before steroids and balding and o firmly believe it allowed him to become who he is. I mean im not gonna say its only because of the looks but in show business i think either you have it all or you're done.
people always think that a balding man should approach stuff with an "alpha machismo" mentality of *hey i dont care about your opinion, and im too macho to care about my looks, so im shaving my head because i am confident and i look cool regardless* but thats not really the case for everybody...a lot of people had missed career opportunities, had become the laughing stock, and had to go through a lot of "why are you bald? maybe its just stress" kind of people with their lives. thats why a lot of people are trying to find solutions to avoid such cirmustances
@@paulocuento9949 Hi Paulo, yeh i think thats a very unusual case, yes maybe if youre an actor or a model and your job is based on your image.. but for 99.99% of people thats not going to happe
@@davidabkk yeah man. but its also prevalent elsewhere (though not as obvious, and outright mentioned).. the airline/hospitality industry, the sales industry, and even with teachers.. theres always jerk in the room who would point out someones bald. and in turn, becomes an inside joke.. this indirectly affects the level of respect and relationship of bald people among their colleagues, thus affecting their work ethic
@@paulocuento9949 I work in Healthcare and most of the dudes there are bald.. That's actually the reason why I wear a hairpiece because I want some individuality. But yeah baldness won't stop you from getting a job lol
I liked your video.. one thing to note, he mentioned back when he got the hair transplant there was not enough media to educate him which in our case we now have so much content. Anyways just wanted to point that out.
He talks about George Constanza's before and after with a hairpiece about 10 minutes into the video and how it's more acceptable for girls to have wigs/hair systems than men
I’m a Joe Rogan fan. I’m glad he spoke out about hair transplants not always turning out well for guys with aggressive hair loss. Shaving is good, hair systems are good. Choose something.
Hey Jake, thanks for this video. I had an FUT proceedure 20+ years ago and somewhat regret it, but I think the big takeaway here is that some dudes look good to great bald AND some guys don't. I applaud Joe for his position on this matter but it's pretty darned easy imo for him to make a case for rocking the bald look after the fact, don't you think? As you suggest, each of us need to make a call that we're happier with than a given alternative even if there ARE some vanity/insecurity issues involved. And let's be real...our culture (and many others of the human variety) is skewed toward a variable but certain kind of almost universal standard regarding the look and presentation of our physical outward selves. If you want to wear hair then go for it. The ladies DO. IT. ALL. THE .TIME. If not then don't but DO take your stand, do something definative and be okay with it...at least until you become comfortable with something else. Great video.
