in that case:

NOT FUNNY!

you are joking with a health issue that affects millions of mens and womans!
agassi is just one.

all the know and effective alopecia treaments have severe influence in the male sexual functions - hence the manhood point - nothing to joke about!

My hairline has been receding since I was about 21. I've been lucky that it has been slow and that I had a lot of thick hair to begin with. I totally freaked out at first. But I came to relize that it is only hair. If I define who I am and what level at which I am a man by a lack of hair then I am truly shallow. My actions and the way I live my life are what defines my "manhood" as you put it, and my character.

Being bald is not a health issue.

Bald people are perfectly healthy (unless, of course, they lost their hair due to chemotherapy or other cancer treatments or illness). For example, Agassi is bald and he's very healthy.

True, being bald is not a health issue but there are a lot of problems that come from being bald.

Gorecki you must really not look good with a shaved head if you are this upset about losing your hair.

I'm balding as well. Use rogaine and propecia and you will slow the hair loss.

Maybe it doesn't upset me too much bc I always kept my hair cut short and I look ok w a shaved head.

The thing about balding that gets my goat is the fact that I have to pay the same price for a hair cut as the guy with the lions maine even though I have 1/2 the hair.

I stand behind my original comment. Completely. I gave my opinion, or judgment as you see it, after Agassi wrote about the issue in a soon to be world wide published book. I am hardly being picking on some innocent bystander walking down the street.

Nah, he still has lots of hair. But he wears one of those bald head rubber pieces because he thinks it's stylish...and he doesn't have to shave his head every day. (page 246 of his Book)
