Ok, that picture is not me, but I have a similar problem. I have lost a lot of hair on top due to unknown reasons, and I've been wearing a hair piece on top to cover the thin areas. With the hair piece, I look can look like a 8/10, but without it, I look drastically different. Otherwise, I think I'm attractive with a great body and face. I am only talking about looks here as I know guys are very sensitive to looks.
Just wondering if guys here would have an issue with this or if they'd freak out? Also, when should I reveal this to the guy I am dating?

Not all guys would react the same, OP. You have a right to look presentable. You'll have to be very selective with the guys you choose to continue seeing past the first couple of dates. But you'd want someone with deeper values anyway, wouldn't you? You can discuss it at whatever point you feel comfortable enough with the guy that you want something more serious with him, and you feel he's the right one for you, or could potentially be.
My hair was heading there too. You could leave the piece on, by the time it comes off, hopefully the guy will like you for you, and not run screaming when he sees. Reveal, I would say after the relationship has gained a bit of substance. Though than can be seen as entrapment possibly.
Thankfully, it's something you can mask. My eyes are messed up, but there's no hiding it, unless I wear a wig or an eye-patch lol
If you want a guy that's a bit more understanding though, then telling him earlier on in the "getting to know you" phase would be best. Because it can be upsetting building a relationship with someone where you feel you need to hide stuff to get them to like you.

I don't think a lot of guys would have an issue with this. That being said, since it is due to unknown reasons, you could very potentially be bald. I think the fair thing is to let guys know early in the process, so you run off guys who are going to have a problem with it off the bat.
No I can imagine most guys would be just as attracted, particularly if she still had her smile etc. Would probably want to change shampoo's etc to help keep a fullest look though. With one of my illness flair ups the hair on the top of my head went thin... Not hard to keep it looking full enough.
Sure, it's just hair; nothing a wig or hair transplant cant remedy, if she chooses to. Just be up front and honest about it and most guys, I believe, will be cool with it.
It shouldn't be that big of deal. I wouldn't blurt it out first thing, but after a couple of dates or so, you could mention that due to some health issues you have to wear a hair piece. I do think that you should mention it fairly early just to weed out those types that would have a problem with it.

I wouldn't have an issue, but I'm looking for a lot more in a prospective partner than just hair.
When to tell him is a difficult question. There might come a time when it seems like the right thing to bring up, I guess. How often to you guys talk about potentially sensitive topics?

You seem very sympathetic here to her problem but you have in the past referred disdainfully to old bald guys. I guess old bald guys should also expect someone with deeper values, eh?
Also, why do so many people encourage women with hair loss issues to wear wigs but most make fun of men who wear toupees?
Hair loss is no fun for either sex and each person should find his/her preferred way to deal with it without derision.
