    I had a similar experience with my girlfriend recently. I chose not to say anything about it for the same reasons. It did become an issue eventually, but I stand by my original feelings. I think awkwardness is impossible to avoid so you just have to be confident in the decisions you have made for yourself. Unfortunately some women are immature and they need to learn the hard way that at least half the men they meet are going to be struggling with hair loss in one way or another.

    I think it is absurd that we feel we need to bring it up. I don't need my girlfriend to explain to me what makeup she wears or require her to show me what she looks like without any makeup on. If her makeup gets on something or smudges I don't demand an explanation or apology.

    However there was an instance where we were in bed and she put her hands in my hair and complained about the fibers getting on her hands, not understanding what it was. She assumed it was hair coloring because of the dark color. I explained it was fibers and that it doesn't stain or anything like that. She told me that there was nothing wrong with my hair and I didn't need it. LOL. Kind of the obnoxious thing where people decide for you how you should best groom yourself without actually knowing how you look when you don't. I shrugged it off and told her that they sell it in the drug stores and it's very popular, but expensive stuff. The next time we were in the drug store I pointed it out to her thinking that was the end of it. We never talked about it again and I never made a fuss or any comments about it.

    Sometimes she would want me to go swimming or do other things I couldn't do. In my opinion this is one of the worst aspects of hair loss is all the ways it makes you think twice about doing all the things you used to enjoy carefree. In these cases I just explained to her the fibers are expensive and I can only partially go in the water. She knew I was very insecure about my appearance, but we never discussed what specifically. I think she believed I was dying my hair and that it is wrong for men to dye their hair. Again these are issues that she has, not me. If she doesn't want to be with a good looking man with a good heart over something so insignificant then I'll go find another attractive woman who does. If hair fibers give me more confidence then I'm going to use them. If a hair system gives a guy confidence then he should wear it. I don't care about her opinions on something so insignificant. If she doesn't like men caring about their appearance then there are a ton of sloppy lazy ungroomed guys out there for her. Take your pick of the unshaved, toothless beer belly crowd. She tells me I'm the best looking guy she's ever dated.

    One day we were fighting and she made a dumb comment about me using hair fibers, still referring to it as hair dye in the most repugnant way possible. I was shocked, but it was another revealing moment about who she is. So I told her that was hurtful, she apologized profusely, but I'll never forget that she wanted to hurt me. I don't know if she is really sorry, but I see her as deeply insecure and flawed to attack someone's appearance, someone she claims to love. I would never do that to her or any woman that I cared for. I just imagine her cutting me down like that and belittling me in front of our children one day. That's the difference of a quality companion or not, do they cut you down to feel better or do you build each other up so your family can thrive. She wants to get married, have a baby, live together, but honestly things like this make me question whether she is a good choice for me. She hurt herself more than she hurt me when she showed me that side of her.

    I've never used a dating app before, but just out of curiosity I put a picture of myself on Tinder with my shirt off. I got dozens of likes in one day from 20-something girls. I know I have flaws just like everyone else, but if a girl won't respect you and speak to you in a dignified and uplifting way then she is showing you the biggest flaws a companion can have.

    I think you would all be surprised how little other people care about your hair.

    Generally speaking, nearly everyone has an insecurity/insecurities about the way they look but most people wouldn't even notice it unless it was pointed out explicitly and looked at closely, and even then they'd question the insecurity.

    It can be hard to come to terms with how your appearance is changing but if you project anxiety/loss of confidence, that will be much more visible than any hair issues.

    In relation to the Toppik - I'd think of it more as makeup. A girl never sits down to tell a guy that they are wear make up. Many girls/women won't leave the house without makeup in the same way you may not without Toppik. If she asks about your hair, tell her. It's a none issue. And besides - if she really likes you, she won't care.

    If you don't pay attention to your flaws, your partner will not notice it. Be more confident and love yourself.

    In this type of tree trimming, the focus is to remove terminal branches to preserve the main limb. Crown reduction should be done with great care by someone who understands the tree growth pattern.

    Man, losing your hair is terrible. I can relate. Confidence is shattered. The Head is always cold. Looking like that guy from Seinfeld. The short and stocky one, not the taller guy. I get you,
    my guy. Your integrity should be stronger than your anxiety, so I think you need to do option number 3. Just be truthful. I know, it's scary. But it will be better in the long run. You will be building trust right from the get-go of the relationship. Dating is like building a business, trust in your partner and your community needs to come first. Just like our window film protection business.
