DATING AND HAIR LOSS STRATEGY #3: A SENSE OF HUMOR

• Monday January 9, 2006 in: Hair Loss Tag(s):
  Here's the last of a three-part series on dating for bald men. Hope you enjoy this as much as we took time writing this (not that we're putting you on a guilt trip or something).

  Jerry Seinfeld once referred to dating as a job interview that lasts all night.

  And it's true that going on a date can be stressful, nerve-wracking, and that's before you even pay for dinner. Throw in some hair loss and you've got all the ingredients for a nightmare evening.

  But worry not, prospective dater. While you're waiting for your Rogaine or Propecia to kick in-- or even your hair transplantation procedure-- there's something you can use that will instantly affect how your date sees your hair loss.

  A sense of humor. You have hair loss. There's no point in trying to hide it with a really bad hat or an even equally bad combover. (Are you listening, Donald Trump?)

  So why not make a joke about it. Like "I don't have hair loss...I just shave too high."

  Or "A fool and his money are soon parted...but nothing can part a 2 dollar toupee."

  And the best of all, just simply say, "I'm too sexy for my hair."

  Studies show that women care less about the state of a man's scalp than the state of a man's shoes.

  What matters most to women is confidence and self-assuredness and nothing says confidence like "I know I have hair loss but I think it's funny anyway."

  When you show your date that your hair loss is not an issue for you...it is unlikely to be an issue for them.

  And when your hair restoration procedure finally starts to work you can rest assured that the person you are with cares about the real you, not just your scalp. Just make sure you've got a good pair of shoes.

  
  That's it for now. Keep posted.
