How confident does a man have to be to wear a wig?

[UK_]

Jesus Christ someone please cure hair loss.

Why doesnt a woman care about you realizing her nails are fake, eyelashes, hair color, lip color etc? It seems they have all the confidence in the world even knowing you realize those things are not really her? I am just saying why can you not have confidence even knowing that some will know? Seems like a double standard. Joke about it even. If someone mocks me and tells me "why are u wearing a wig" I will say "so I wont look as ugly as you"

I am not a person that would be comfortable with a wig. But I believe to each his own.

And I really-really-really dislike double standards but it can be true in this case unfortunately.

I am on a dating site and this has come up. To be fair some of the women admitted it was a double standard but still men should not wear wigs.

And I have a friend who years ago told me I should not try to fight it or try to hide it as that was a turnoff. Yet she thought it was ok for her to get lipo surgery...even though she wasn't even fat.

Oh man, the gender double standards that exist in our culture absolutely blows my mind. Women and men should of course be equal if every facet politically. But, socially, where there are no real rules, it just never will be equal -- some to men's benefit, some to women's benefit. It's obviously especially penetrating when the social injustice affects you and not most other men (ie wearing wigs).

I guess we have to live with it and decide which way we want to play the game - conform to the social standards or antagonize today's social standards. The former is probably the easier route and will be conducive to more relationships as we do what is expected, the latter is the difficult route that decreases the pool of women who would be interested in you substantially but maybe the relationships are more rewarding because you are innately more compatible with the hard-to-find woman. There isn't a right answer here, but that's something I've speculated my whole life.

Wearing a hair piece is the opposite of being confident. Shaving your head and being yourself is confidence. Women care less about hair than you think. If you're good looking, then you're good looking. If you're not then you're not. All kinds of good looking bald men make women hot and bothered :P

hair can make you good looking or bad looking,are you in denial

[youngin]

You all are in denial, not me. I am a NW6 with a hot wife. Cause instead of being depressed and complaining about my poor hair loss, I was out living mylife, being myself and having fun. This forum is full of NEGATIVITY.

Because I was young (17) when I started balding and started an account on HLH to get help back then, the name carried over to other forums. I was a NW5/6 by the time i was 24. That's why. Though I don't see how my name is relevant.

a bald man can get a hot wife,if he has muscles or if he is heavy or have money or he has great qualites,this doesnt change that being bald can change you entirely,yes ENTIRELY,it change your appearance completely!Some living in denial for accepting the truth that they are getting uglier,they know they get uglier but they cant accept it that's a denial,denial of accepting.So yes we are in denial of accepting the truth but you are in a much higher level of denial ,the denial of the truth itself,that balding makes you ugly,yes ugly,hair make a great impact of your beauty but you are denying it.Well done cause it makes your life easier better bald and happy than bald and sad nothing new.So dont try to tell us that it isnt the balding that make people ugly,you can tell it to yourself any day to make you feel better but i'm sure you would be a lot hotter if you had your hair and you could win girls hearts easier.

Wow I feel sorry for you. Beauty is truely in the eye of the beholder. Hate to break it to you but some women find bald men extremely sexy. And that fact destroys what you just said.

Well said. I'll rock bald if I have to and fit that niche, but my chances are better with hair -- I know it.

[dex89]

Yes, its rare when you see a women that likes bald men unless his physically ripped then the percentage will go a little higher. Has for wigs, fudge that, I rather be bald that wear a rug on top of my cranium all day. Imagine if your having sex with a lady that you just meet and your wig falls off, lol creepy.

I understand people claiming that the confident thing is shaving your head, but let's be real, the double standards really hurt on this one.

If it was socially accepted that men wore wigs like women do, there would be very little reasons for bald men to feel bad about they hair loss. Are you losing your hair? Get a wig that matches your hair and stop complaining. Would people find out? Probably, but without the stigma, they would understand why, like they understand why bald women choose to wear wigs.

The cure is already there, and it's hairpieces, but very few men choose to wear them.

[baldy1990]

yes if celebs wear hairpieces as a trend that would make hairpieces cool,so you wouldnt have the stigma,if a hairpiece was like choosing shoes,so you could express yourself anyway you wanted

as for shaving your head,no, actually you afraid of balding that's why you try to look less bald,so shaving isnt a solution,i dont like baldness so shaving wont solve my problem.It's really irritating to listen this all the time
