I really admire your spirit and calmness regarding the wig. Too bad I can't really relate to anything you wrote. Once you're married wearing becomes easier since you don't have to hide anything from your partner (which is the toughest thing). Once you're older wearing becomes even easier (as you said). I think that if you were young and single, you simply wouldn't wear, definitely not from the reason of making you more attractive with the ladies, the challenge is much much bigger (dealing with making the wig look perfectly undetectable, dealing with the paranoia that people will know, dealing with the "when to tell your girlfriend" issue, dealing with the fact that you can never be seen in public without it... you never faced any of these challenges, but these are the ones I have to face).

YEah I did not wear when I was younger and balding. I understand the anxiety gap with the younger peer group. No way would I have worn a wig in my 20's and 30's. I definitely chose the anxiety of bald over the fear of ridicule. It was not until I GOT PAID to wear I started to wear. I started to wear full time out of necessity for the job and decided I preferred my look as well as my wife with the hair that I became comfortable wearing in and not terribly secret about it.

If more people were comfortable enough to claim they are wearing AND it looks great the stigma would definitely disappear like breast implants have on women. I have a different outlook because people already knew I was bald and already knew I wore and WHY I wore. I just kept wearing, I don;t think I look any more ridiculous to someone who knows then the guy who wears long hair in a pony tail with a bald top at a guy who chooses to wear his hair long and is balding. If you want longer hair FILL IN THE GAPS and be proud of it.

This is such a personal thing and for some baldness is extremely traumatic . For others mildly so and stil for other they would rather have hair but don;t really car enough to wear someone elses or deal with it, For still others they just shave and THEY are the most free in my opinion. Imagine a bathroom without a single hair care product...not worrying about wind, glue, drying and styling out of the shower. Vacationing,swimming, motorcycles, roller coasters, knots, color matching someone feeling it or worse. Damm Im talking myself into just going without it..........Actually for me its the opposite. People KNOW Im shaven but many have never seen it. Im building up the courage to release the "bond" :lol:
