The struggles of a balding longhair and the double-standards between men and women

[McCloud90]

I think it's OK for a middle aged man to show some hairloss. But for a fellow who wants to date women younger than, say, 25, lack of hair would limit his options; I am certain his life would be better with hair. Whether a hairpiece or wig would improve his life more than it would hurt his life, depends on what kind of life he aspires to lead. If he plans to be a couch potato, always indoors, in climate-controlled environments out of the rain, snow, dust, wind, tobacco smoke, etc., a wig might be practical.

To be fair I'm not that interested in dating women under 25, but I think even the more desirable girls in late-20's/early 30's prefer men with hair, but it's as you said in an earlier post, it's for me more than for any particular girl. I doubt any method of wearing hair is practical for anyone, but then again neither is a persistent feeling of anxiety and hopelessness over your appearance, it's just a case of deciding which burden you prefer to bear.

In an ideal world we would all just be totally cool with balding as that's the only way to be free from it entirely, but I guess some of us just aren't wired that way.
