Quote:People around here will usually say that when your posts give off a vibe that you're overly paranoid about having your piece detected.
It's possible that you're just trying to collect info and learn, which is fine as long as you can get over it. On the other hand, if you can't get over it and you constantly worry about being detected then you won't be very happy and wearing will make you nuts.

The question is what are my alternatives ?

1. Continue going with a comb-over: gives an illusion I have a full head of hair, but can be destroyed easily by wind, and hence I’m constantly on guard. I can’t let girls touch my hair *at all*. I keep getting comments to switch to a different hairstyle since combing to the side is too old fashioned (lol, they think it’s a matter of choice for me). Eventually this comb-over will fail to give the illusion I want, then I can either shave it all off (see #2), or switch to a wig and *everybody* who know me will 100% know.

2. Shaving my head: I’m one of those guys who don’t look well without hair. Hair adds a lot to my personal appearance. Also, I’m close to 30. Currently with the combover people are sure I’m not more than 25 (and if I’ll color my somewhat greying hair, and go with a more up-to-date hairstyle, I’ll look even younger). When I tell them I’m close to 30 they refuse to believe. I usually have to take out my driver license to prove. I’m not willing to jump from someone who looks 25 (at most!), to someone who looks 35 (with the shaved head). We only live once, and I want to get the most out of it.

3. Getting a wig: The main downside for me is to be spotted by the looks of it (not by the touch, nobody ever touched my hair, and if it is an intimate moment with a girl then it’s only her that will know, and I think I could contain the situation). The problem is that I appear in front of a crowd every week, if this gets out and everybody knows and give me funny looks and remarks while I talk, this won’t be fun at all, I’ll be transferred from the “adorable guy we all love to admire”, to “that weird guy with the wig”, who wants that ?. Still, worst case, I can shave it all, but I can’t see how shaving will make things better for me if it makes me look much worse and much older.

Yes, I’m totally ok with my close family knowing. Actually one of them is wearing a wig AND give public appearances, but on the other hand it's easier for a girl to do that (yes it's a "she"), because the wig is longer and hence harder to spot, and also society accept women with wigs more than men with wigs.

I also want to tell one of my co-workers who is a good friend of mine, and kept my secrets well up to now (he could tell me if people are talking behind my back). For starters that’s it. My thought is that the less people who know, the less chance this will get out to everyone (actually I feel like I can tell all of my co-workers since they are all great people and I trust them all, but again, my thought is that the more people knowing, the greater the chance for an "accident").
