This quote makes it clear to me that you dont understand that I'm not referring to "ego" with the negative pop-culture connotation as in "He has such a big ego". I'm talking about the bigger picture and the way the ego relates to your higher self.

Overweight women can at least do
something about the extra pounds, like excersizing and eating right.
Balding is just something stupid that happens out of bad luck. As men, we like to fix problems so its natural to feel a bit frustrated about this.
So, instead of reading some Tolle and meditate all day long I rather seek actual solutions to this. And you should support your man if he feels the same. All that ego and higher self talk just feels patronizing. Eventhough, all things considered, it's not a big deal its still annoying.
