i’ve had one too many online dates with guys wearing hairpieces. yes, sometimes i feel like the liz lemon of my own nyc media comedy. it’s embarrassing but at least i can laugh at it … after the fact. most of these guys are attractive, if it weren’t for the science hair system. it’s sad that they feel compelled to try to pull a trick on the world. you’re not fooling anybody, bro. BTW i know plenty of dudes who are cute baldies. you just have to embrace the tide and take it down. still, i kinda feel bad for media personality dan abrams getting eviscerated by keith olbermann for rockin the rug. it hurts just to watch it.
be bold, be bald

You have to embrace the bald, I do and once I did felt way more comfortable for sure. For guys, going bald is like having to grapple with a mixture of ‘No girl will ever think I am cute again’ and ‘All anyone can look at is my bald head’. I think it is nature’s way of at least attempting to even out the insecurities about body image across the sexes.
interesting thought re: evening out body image issues. lots of baldies are cuties. it’s the whole package that we gals are attracted to. sometimes that package has little or no hair on his head!
… meanwhile when i was in my 20′s i was super insecure about my looks, my body. it took a decade to grasp that anybody worth my time is going to be attracted to the whole package and won’t obsess over my flaws the way i do.
embracing the bald and the bod — it’s a mark of maturity.
I love that Seinfeld where Elaine with righteous indignation chastises George for not wanting to date a bald woman. “But YOU’RE BALD!”
