'Baldy' is a compliment as it suggests great beardy qualities. Some Dwarves can, through sheer force of will, relocate the hair-growing energy of their scalp towards their beard.
Real (male) dwarves look like Cousin It.
Real female dwarves only look like Cousin It from Certain Angles.
Not just toward the beard!
Indubitably!
They don't call me Three Legs McDuff for nothing!

When two of them are artificial, it doesn't count.

Jealousy is an ugly thing.
So are most dwarves, but I don't hold it against 'em.
Their lasses, I hold 'it' against 'em, but that's because they like their men like they like their ale - dark and filling.
(because some things make up for not being rich)
You poor lad. What'd we do? Show up some sissy elves yer fond of? It ain't that hard.

I learned this when I was little kid, watching Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs, but I didn't want to play dwarves in FRPGs until I was an adult. Just sitting here, looking at the Dwarf Fighter (looks more like a Dwarf Champion, to me) mini from PFB: Heroes & Monsters, I gotta say: Dwarves are Awesome.
Discuss.
Ah, Mairkurion... of course we are awesome! It's a proven fact! And yet among the clans the noblest and proudest stand the Chelaxian dwarves, we who outshine our lesser cousins and other races, just as Cheliax outshines all other nations on Golarion!
I'm delighted to see you have not yet lost all your wits, and I have to admit that your comments brought a tear to my eye...
The Tarrasque tried to eat a dwarven kingdom once.
Once.
You poor lad. What'd we do? Show up some sissy elves yer fond of? It ain't that hard.
That's what she told you!
*rimshot*
But seriously, I don't have the hate-on, it's just that short-wides make easy targets.
Also, evidently appreciation shown for the dwarven lasses was Frowned Upon™ in this Establishment.
That, and too much exposures to neckbeards who think a dwarf is 2 parts scottish accent, one part wee homicidal maniac.
And even then it was cookie cutter. Give me more Teddy Rooseveltian dwarves.
A dragon once attacked my kingdom while I was visiting. I remember that battle with great fondness every time I put my boots on.

In fact, now that I think about it, one of the most awesomely fun things about dwarves is that they take insult and abuse in stride, up until you insult their booze. Crack wise on their mother? They'll agree. Insinuate their sister is easy? They'll ask what took you so long to find out. Mock one of their brother's craftsmanship? MAYBE a 'dude not cool', especially if the brother is a screwup.
But one word about their booze? Don't say I didn't warn you.
Mind the kneecaps.
A fellow dwarf was once surrounded by a bunch of zombies and bitten multiple times. Thankfully, they were all returned to life, fully healed.
