Men choose hair over toys, says survey

  It is quite typical for men-men with male pattern baldness included-like us to drool over the latest gadgets out in the market, from the newest earth-shattering stereo systems to the coolest cellular phones. But if made to choose between state of the art toys and more hair, more than half would go for the latter, says a recent survey conducted by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS).

  Of the 2,338 men with male pattern hair loss polled, more than half (57%) said they would be willing to give up something they owned in exchange for more hair. For the 1,323 men who said they would be willing to part with a personal possession for more hair, a stereo system was chosen by the most respondents (26%) from the list of six items polled in the survey. In addition, 21% would be willing to give up their cell phone, 17% said they would trade an expensive car, 17% would hand over their laptop computer, 13% would ante up their plasma TV, and 6% said they would do without a boat for a few more locks.

  "This survey confirms that men place an extremely high value on their hair and would go to great lengths to restore it -- even if it means giving up something valuable to them," said Paul C. Cotterill, M.D., president of the ISHRS. "When most of us reflect on what would make us happy this holiday season, I think we would find that intangibles, such as looking or feeling better, would top more wish lists than expensive gifts."

  If a balding man who belongs to that 17% who'd trade in their expensive car for a few more follicles owned an Enzo Ferrari, then he'd probably be in one hell of a dilemma.

Desperation
I really thought it would be the opposite...that men would pick their toys over their hair. I wonder how far they will go then to have the hair they want. An article on patchy hair loss at easyhairgrowth.com was talking about men trying to hide it. fyi:the comb-over technique isn't terribly attractive.
Interesting point they mention in regards to patchy hair loss is to check with the doctor about a fungal infection.
