@moonbus saidI used to think hair growth products for men were stupid. And I still do. My hair has been gradually thinning and there's a big bald spot in the back, but unless I'm holding two mirrors I never see it.. so out of sight, out of mind.

I used to think electric can openers were useless technology. Until I developed arthritis in my hands.
But the fact is I really don't care.
I'm not saying men shouldn't care about their appearance, but (imo) going too far with it smacks of narcissistic vanity.
I'm only speaking for myself, and not speaking for anyone else. So if there are any pretty boy gorgeous Georges reading this don't get your man panties in a twist, because
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK!!!

But in principle I agree with you. It’s a vanity issue.

@moonbus saidSufficient, but not necessary. My mother's father was bald, my father's father had very thin hair which my father inherited, but luckily I got my hair genes from my mother, who got them from hers.

@pawnpaw saidWatch any small child.They will be happily ignoring the telly while drawing or something until an advert appears and then they stop what they're doing and watch.
@Kilroy70
I once visited family, and while everyone was watching tv, I was holding the remote.
And when my habit of muting all ads that came up kicked in, everybody screamed at me. Can you believe it...
Brainwashed at its peak...
I've never worked out why.
The most used button on our remote is the fast forward button.We record everything and fast forward all the rubbish(like what do you do etc to contestants on quiz shows -(who cares?)and all the adverts of course
@venda saidI hadn't noticed that with my kids (or grandchildren) but I think you're on to something. Shows that interest adults probably don't interest most children, but adverts are specifically designed to grab your attention on a primal level.

And not all ads are worth ignoring. Some are so silly (without meaning to be) they can be more entertaining than the program.

@kilroy70 saidI was hoping to go bald a decade ago but my stupid hair just keeps sprouting like weeds. I hate having to cut my stupid hair every month.

Now to be fair, I would feel different if I was a bear.
