The whole concept of a forehead (hairless forehead) is strange.

Why is there no hair? It's completely surrounded by hair. The entire rest of the head (except parts of the actual face) is covered by hair. Other animals have hair.

George Carlin said it best, yes a receding hairline is annoying, but no where near as bad as an advancing hairline.
Who would want to have to shave their forehead?

Just really think in terms of bangability. You wanna bang someone with a hairy forehead? Neither did our ancestors.
- This is it, it's the perfect example of adaptation through sexual selection.

Better non-verbal communication with your peers. Same thing for having white eyeballs and dark irises, everyone around you knows exactly what your looking at.

  Man, I'd love to see her as a beleaguered ruler struggling with questions of morality in a fantasy show. Just imagine seeing her wrestling with life-or-death decisions concerning hundreds if not thousands of her subjects.

The furry community is very welcoming....or so I'm told.

It helps to think of your hair as essentially being a mane. Remember, lion manes also expose their forehead.

Male orangutans don't have their faces completely covered with hair. So it's not just humans.

- Ever have sweat drip into your eyes? Shit stings.
  
  That's why you have eyebrows.

I am a woman with a small forehead (low hairline) and it always looks like I'm wearing a wig. I hate it. I yearn for a normal-sized forehead.
- All women yearn for a normal-sized forehead. Regardless of actual forehead size.
- I am a woman with ample forehead to spare. Too bad I can't send some your way.

long forehead hair would be hard to keep out of your face. there's survival fitness in not having hair cover your eyes /speculation

other animals have hair but less around the face. The hair on top of my golden retriever is long but around the face it does not grow long. For all practical purposes the area around the snout and eyes is bare.
