[quote=These anti-wig guys are usually not confident enough to pull it off themselves, and are victims of ignorance and stigma. I'll bet he's seen dozens of people wearing and had no idea... then he sees two bad ones and assumes they are all like that. It's easy to fall into that trap if you don't know any better.[/quote]

Amen to that. There's no way these guys can comment on the good wigs b/c they can't detect them. That's why they can only talk about the bad ones. In my opinion, try no to worry about: rumors, people noticing your hair length, etc. In the real world, we are among many much more important people... meaning, no one is gonna pay that much attention to us. Jrob is right, it's just paranoia.

Even if they find out, so what? Did you kill somebody? Did you commit a crime? Cheat on a test? Nope. It's funny we aren't ashame when we get a speeding ticket (we do it over and over, breaking the law), yet we're so embarrassed when we wear a piece (something that doesn't hurt anybody)...

You could also think of it as: women improve their appearance by putting on makeup, as balding men, we could improve our own appearances by putting on a piece. It's not like we have a disease. It's mostly for aesthetic reasons.

Lastly, comb overs are more "amusing" to people who are inclined to laugh at others, than are pieces.

Good luck!
