I’ve been called names because of it. Pretty sure it contributed to bullying and work place harassment at my last job. I’ve been told people literally do not believe me because of my looks. The women that rejected me based on my hairline are the least of it.

Sorry to hear that.

I’ve been told people literally do not believe me because of my looks.

FWIW I've been told the same thing when I wore a beard, and have heard the same of other people for other physical traits.

For me, the biggest impact is health. I was recently diagnosed with a very benign skin cancer, but I dearly love open air driving, so trying to figure out how to enjoy my Jeep while not inviting melanoma is tricky.

Isn't hair relatively low SPF? So wouldn't applying sunscreen solve that problem?

From http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2008/09/12/2362010.ht...

> Overall, the researchers found hair offered a protection factor ranging from 5 to 17, which is significantly lower that the average sunscreen, which offers a protection factor of 30.

Quite probably.

Since I was a kid I've hated sunscreen so I do my best to find other solutions. Or pretend it's not a problem.

Yep sunscreen is very nasty stuff. Wish it wasn’t such a pain to work with and wear.
