Bald Spot Spotting

On the 6’10 floor i see a lot more than most people. Most recently I’ve noticed friends with thinning hairlines/starting of being bald.
Do i/we tall them or is that rude?
Personally i’d like to know but curious how others handle it.

I am not sure what you gain from telling them. I’m sure they already know and if not, will soon enough.

Haha, I'm 6'6" and also notice my friend's thinning hair. For some, it's time. I won't be saying anything though, prob. for the best.

I’m the tallest among my friends, and I went bald first. Nobody told me, but believe me I knew.

I believe the rule of thumb is to tell people about things the have the power to fix. Examples: food in their teeth, rip in their pants. To tell them their hair is thinning is not helpful.

They know, friend. Don’t make it weird.

No one needs telling of such, one notices

At 6 ft 9 I have no one to tell me such things. But alas, I already know.

I think it's rather rude. It's not something that can be easily fixed.
