Bald men comfort each other?!

I was recently surfing the web to see if I can find an interesting topic to write about for an anthropology class I'm taking this semester... and you won't believe what I came across.
I came across a post on a site for Japanese trends, and found an article about a site for men in their mid-thirties.
The site is mainly about men in their thirties sharing thoughts and worries, and posting them under categories such as work, money, love and HAIR.
The following is an excerpt from the article:
"When you log on you will be asked for your age group; if you are in your thirties you can then vote on the issues, though everything is still viewable whatever your age. The problems are color-coded into categories: work, money, love, and hair. Examples include: “Would you borrow money from your parents in an emergency?”, “Have you ever looked at porn at work?” and “Do you check out your thinning hair when you get up in the morning?”
Check out the link below for the article, and the link that will lead you to the site itself:

That's it for my first blog post! Thanks for reading!
This is very curious. I'm not exactly sure what to make of it. It does seem like a suitable topic for an anthropological study, doesn't it?
I would encourage you to investigate further. If so, you might want to contact the author of the blog post you linked to see if he any additional information on the topic.
