Don't ever recall saying wow look at the hair on that guy lol ( until he had some crazy hair ex a Mohawk or hair that side show bob).

Could just buy a nice hat ! Oh my god... no wonder hats for men are so popular. Got to wonder what all these men are hiding under those baseball caps !

I'm basically bald, and I wear a hat much more often than I used to, not to hide my bald spot but to protect my noggin from the cold and sun. Hair is a natural and perfect protector from the sun and cold. Without it or a hat I'd get some bad sunburns. I try to go without hat sometimes, just so I get a little tan up there, but my doctor says WEAR A HAT! (I've had a lot of skin cancer, mostly on my head and face.)

My late father-in-law was bald and wore a rug, a hat or nothing on top. It depended. He usually wore a hat to work but a toupee socially. At home (in the house) he was often bald. Might be that he got the rug at his wife's urging. Expensive, but it looked pretty good on him -- not too noticeable. He just knew, like I do, that he had to wear something on his head or it would burn.

The sun protection part makes sense. A lot of sense actually. Good facts to share. If my husband lost his hair it would not change my attraction to him at all. It is just hair. I did not get married to him because I liked his hair. If someone likes you less because you have thin hair or hair missing .... seems like the relationship is pretty trivial .

And it's certainly socially acceptable.

And the simple fact is every single rug looks totally fake. So we don't get why you bother doing it with it looks terrible and obvious.. Kind of the opposite of what you're trying to do.
There is nothing sexy (to me) about a man who spends time primping daily to shave off what hair he has left so that he has a bald pate.

There are lots of pictures of Hair Club, etc. online (mostly for men), and I don't know if any of those are toupees or wigs or weaves (or even microsurgery), but I always notice how much handsomer the men look with a fuller head of hair. Of course, all these are done well, no "bad toupees" that I can detect.

Only Yul Brynner (The King and I) looked handsome bald to me. He had a very nicely-shaped head, and it fit the main role of his career, so he looked exotic. Other than that, I don't find bald or balding men (with as little hair as Jason Alexander in Seinfeld, for example), attractive. Women often tell men (especially their own men) how sexy bald men look; however, whether they really mean it or not or have their fingers crossed behind their backs is another thing.

A fully bald-headed woman? That's likely a warrior battling cancer.

Joe Pesci has a pretty good rug. That's the best and most real I've seen. Ted Danson had a good one, but his only covered one spot in the back of his head, if I recall correctly. That was back in the Cheers days when he was still pretty young. Might have a bigger one now that he's older, if more hair has receded.

I would just shave my head, but a wear when I could. Some dudes look good with a bald head and some look really goofy, like Billy Corgan. Might be the shape of his head. My dad lost his at a young age and always wore a hat after that. With the job he had, he never needed to take off his hat.

I don't like them. They all look fake, although some are better than others. In 1993, I was in a position where I had to ask Ted Koppel to move because he was sitting on my coat. He is very short and I am very tall, so I got a good look at the top of his head. His wig was carefully placed and styled, but I could still tell.

Would rather a guy embrace his balding head and just shave it all off than wear a toupee or do a combover.

A shaved head is so much more sexy. Forget the rug, but shave off the rest of the hair so the bald spot does not stick out like a sore thumb. No comb overs either. Yuk.
