I love how you can’t have a thread about who the most handsome player is (seriously, made one and it got locked) but mocking is totally chill. Weird standard is all.
anyways Laine might be in the running.
Womens magazine got most handsome in Patrik Sharp 201x (dont remember) and a later year Michael del Zotto. My guess is an exotic look take you pretty far in those categories.
Receeding hairline may not be the end of the world, but oh boy, how boring it is personally.

Lindy Ruff and Jacques Lemaire both seemed to have the same thin combover for over 20 years and it never seemed to get much thinner. In Lemaire’s cause I swore he had more hair in 2010 than he did in 1995.

Mangiapane. I'm sorry buddy, it's over.
Here he is normally.
And here he is wearing his toupee
Are you sure he didn't just get a haircut and style it forward? His hair is literally shorter in the second picture.
While it appears to be thin up front in the first picture, it still mostly reads as a large widow's peak.

It's a $15 cab ride from Matthews hair line to his eyebrows

Not a hockey player but Bobby Charlton had an Al Davis level combover during his playing days , he was only in his 30s and looked 60 years old.
If I am Laine, I would be trying to pull-off the Hulkamania Skullet for the entirety of my professional career.

Kings fans grew up with Bob Miller, and we laugh at your feeble attempts at combovers.
Bow to the King.

Frankly, it’s a personal choice and I waaay prefer having my hair with a big ole bald spot on the top than no hair. Although I’m fortunate in that my balding is almost exclusively the top, from the front I have a fairly typical hairline.
It’s funny when you hear things like ‘stop being vain, admit you’re bald and shave it’ - yet shaving it is actually ‘hiding’ it far more than not. I even had a coworker years back that shaved daily and insisted he had a full head of hair but liked the feeling of a shaved head. Problem was by the end of every day he was sporting a “5 o’clock cul-de-dac”.

This is Laine 6 years ago as 16yo. Can you go bald at 16?

Fair enough! I was struck with the receding hairline in my early 20's and after a brief struggle to hang on for dear life (Getzlaf style) I finally conceded defeat and shaved it all off. I do agree though that depending on the hair loss it can still look totally fine when not shaved as well. For me, it was starting to trend in the Al Iafrate direction and I'm sure by 30 I would've looked like Dr. Phil (not that there's anything wrong with that) had I not shaved it.

Sir Bobby Charlton is famous for many things
- Surviving the Munich Air Disaster
- Winning the World Cup with England in 1966
- Playing in the first English team to win the European Cup
- Having a cannon of a shot in the days of old, heavy leather balls
But that combover might be the thing he is best known for in popular culture.

I see now that the Trump is the final form of the combover; a two pronged attack from both orbital regions, woven together to produce a net of hair of intense strength and coverage.
Poor Charlton was attacking the problem from only direction, that's why he lost the war.

You guys are mean lol. Not like they can fight genetics.
also surprising that they make this much money and have some full hair near the back of their head that they can just transplant to their hairline and fix it. It’d cost like 10-20k? You might as well
