People who make fun of toupee's or hairplants.

[senor boogie woogie]

Hola!

A bit humorous, but not really in the end.

There is a lot of things I wish I could change about myself. I wish I was better looking. I could be 2 inches taller. I could stop being a fatass (my problem).

One thing I can salute to my parents and my father's family that as a 44 year old man that I have hair like a teenager. I will never be bald unless I get chemo or some other disease. I also have blonde, nice hair. I am 44, the shit really grows.

I wish I could sell my hair cells to poor bald bastards for a fee but cannot.

What I hate is when people are made fun of for wearing toupees or hair extensions. I think that is a bit unfair and I think people should do what they have to do for what they think is a good appearance.

People who wears toupees are made fun of. It is seen as a lie and a joke which embarrasses the men who wear these pieces. Some of these guys dont want to go full bald. White dudes mostly look bad bald (unlike black dudes)

Jason Alexander this year did a guest spot on NBC's "Harry's Law" with a short styled toupee, and honestly, if I did not know who he was, I would have never have guested. I thought it looked good on him. Why make fun or light of him because he is wearing some false hair? Some think of it as lying. I think it's stupid. I hope Alexander gets more work.

If i could trade hair genetics with Jason Alexander, I would be a millionaire.

i fully admit, i mock hairpieces.
i also wear wigs and extensions for the same reason most men do, thinning/falling out hair.

just consider most people don't seem to mock people for their thin/bald/etc-ness, they mock the hairpiece itself for being poorly made. at least up here, i hear less of "omg that persons wearing a hairpiece, they must be so bald" and more of "omg that wig looks like matted fur". if a wig is well made you cant tell it is one without really examining it.
i dont see it as any different than mocking any other poorly-made product, like electronics that break the day after the warranty expires.

It's not the mocking of the hairpiece, it's the mocking of a bad hairpiece. A good one is hardly noticeable unless you really get close and start looking. A bad one on the other hand can be spotted a mile off and just plain looks abysmal.

I love the look of a balding man with very close cropped hair. Receding hairlines are sexy.

My husband's hair is receding, so he wears it very short. I like it. I'd be horrified if he decided to wear a toupee.

For the most part, I love bald men. (It started when I was 7 years old and developed a crush on Telly Savalas. )

That being said, I can name 2 men who are unattractive bald: BIL#1 and BIL#2. Believe you me, I do not find them attractive without hair. (And it's not because I don't like them personally - BIL#2, when he had hair, resembled my husband, so it's not that).

Also, even though I love bald headed men, I'm happy that hubby has a full head of hair. Like senor boogie woogie, my husband has great hair genes. However, he has dark brown hair.

From what I know of both sides of my family, I will never lose my hair. Ever. Which I think is more important to my brother than me.

But, yeah, most people when they mock are mocking bad or fugly replacements.

^-.-^

I would never make fun of a balding man, let alone person, because women can lose their hair too, and I hope and pray every day these hairs stay strong.

I don't think I've ever seen a toupee or hair plugs, but I have seen some ridiculous weaves and hair extensions on girls. How about just take care of your hair, rock what you have, and grow it out?

[wolfie]

Exactly. Honest baldness like Picard? Fine. A well-made hairpiece? Fine. Wear a Tribble on your head like Kirk? Be prepared to be the butt of a lot of jokes.

I have to agree. There are three classes of hair pieces.

1 - Is the "Hair Piece so well made that you don't even know it's a hairpiece". This is the one that goes right under our radar because you could look at the person and be totally unaware that the hair is fake.

2 - Is the "You can tell, but it doesn't look bad" type of hairpiece. In the SCA we would call it the "5 foot rule" meaning that from a distance of 5 feet you can't tell. It's only when you get closer that you can see that something is not right.

3 - This is the "dead tribble on Shatner's head" kind of bad. This is so poorly made/fitted/color matched that some dude on the Space Station looking down can see just how poorly it is made.

The third type is the style I laugh at. Perhaps I should be the better man about it but when the class 3 hairpieces and many of the class 2 ones are the same cost, one would think that someone would opt for the Class 2 one instead. This is as baffling to me as to why some man in Nunavaut would order the neon-pink camo stretch pants is to Gravekeeper.

So when I see the "dead rat" on someone's head, it is amusing to me.

At least I do not point and laugh when the person is in earshot. I have some class.
