Is it ok for men to wear a wig?

[Naveen2016]

Girls wear wigs and thats acceptable. But when it comes to men its considered a pansy move. I wear a wig. I look great in it ..people who find out say it fits me perfectly and I’m sure a lot of girls might find me attractive when I’m wearing it coz it looks really natural ...perfect for my overall look. I get good treatment from strangers or random people coz lets face it good looking people get good treatment or that initial respect everywhere. But I’m also aware that one day I will have to have that conversation with a girl about taking it off especially when its time to get intimate and that terrifies me…that she will see my true look and hate me after that or even if she doesn’t….i might hate myself for that situation and so I always avoid intimacy at all costs acting like as if I have something to hide...which I do. People say that if a girl truly likes you then she wouldn’t care if you wear a wig or not but there are others who disagree and say girls hate wig wearers period because it shows insecurity…..If I do shave my head then there is that hair transplant scar on the back like a line. I thought of shaving my head but what do I tell people who ask me about this scar? I don’t know what to do here. Dont tell me to grow it out n walk around like danny devito. Its a look I hate so much. Its like I’m stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. So the question is ...should I continue wearing this wig and get good treatment from strangers and but will have to avoid intimate relationships with girls or should I shave my head with the scar on my head get treated badly by strangers but accepted by a loving woman who can see past my scar? Please advice and discuss.

I don't wear a wig but I know from experience that many, many women like scars on a man. It's 'rugged', lol. You can always lie about how you got the scar, if you want. Make some badass story up. "Oh, it happened years back...". I got some really cool head scars if I shave my head. One in particular looks real gangsta...I actually got it from misjudging my height when walking beneath a metal road sign(!) But it always draws admiring comments should I shave my head!

 

 

I feel sorry for guys who lose their hair when they can't cope with it. Again, a case of genetics not being fair. I just think I'd go for the Statham look if I was bald...easy to maintain, no hassle in the shower/bath...loads of women love bald geezers. I think constantly hiding it would just create an inner sense of shame and anxiety. Because at some point, if you're with someone...there's gonna be that 'big reveal'...and you'll be worrying about it months before you get to it.

 

 

Be bald, be proud. I'm pretty grey at the front and don't dye it. I know if I did I'd look late 20s. But I'm learning to accept my silver streak right now because I'm gonna have it for life from now on in.

If it makes you feel more confident then rock the wig.

 

Do not avoid intimate relationships with women. Love and allow yourself to be loved.

 

When you begin to grow a trusting relationship with someone you might feel more comfortable telling her about the scar and how it makes you feel.

 

Perhaps in time you will begin to feel more at ease with it and no longer feel the need to wear it but that will be your choice, do whatever feels right for you.

Many can carry a bald head with confidence. That's what you need. What you can try is be without it inside home and when having people over who know about it and then slowly start going out natural ! If YOU are confident , that will show and attract the right kind of women.

Nooooo!!!!!!

 

Do NOT be "that guy" with the funny shaped bald head, the bad combover (Donald Trump), the bad bald haircut (the guys with the dome and a bit of hair on the side).

 

I mean, you can be the most attractive guy in the world, but some guys cannot rock a bald look (most Caucasian guys, IMO). I mean Jude Law is a good looking guy, but his receding hairline is just horrible. At least for the movie "Spy", they grew it out a bit and the way they combed it over, thank God, took care of how horrible it looks. I mean otherwise it's like he has a doggy tail on his forehead.

 

Look, years ago, I had sex for the first time with this guy in the military and he had his head shaved. Handsome, attractive, etc. But gosh, when he took off the baseball cap, even though he had a nice shaped head and all, I just couldn't stand it, so I dimmed the lights during sex. And he kept on wanting me to turn up the lights (which I normally do during sex).

 

So for me, as long as the wig looks natural (not like a ferret on your head), I could care less if you don't wear it during sex - I'll just dim the lights . But, I'm not most women. But, I thought women are more forgiving of a guy's looks than men are of us. I mean, I see so many couples with the guy pot belly, gray/bald hair and the woman is in shape, keeping up her looks, etc.

My boyfriend's grandmother told me back in her day, it was pretty common for men to wear wigs when they were out and about. When she met her husband he was wearing a wig and she felt cheated when she discovered it wasn't his real hair! Thank goodness she married him anyway.

 

Yes, of course it's okay for men to wear wigs. Anything that makes you feel confident and doesn't involve hurting others---wigs, transplants, plastic surgery, designer clothes---is fine by me. So long as you're doing it because you want to, and not as a result of any external pressure, you're golden.

 

I also think people become more tolerant to this sort of thing as they age. Everyone has at least one friend who started going bald at, like, 22. By 30 about half of us are either starting to go gray, losing hair, or have lost it altogether. That's just life.
