these heinous faux heads of hair. I've never seen one that didn't look laughable, or like Road Kill. Many stick up or out in the wrong places, while many don't match real hair color or length. Texture is often different from real hair. Some seem to be "stapled" on. Others look like they're attached with bobby pins. Do men think they are fooling the world with rugs? Seems they are fooling themselves and MAKING fools of themselves.

I totally agree. It's ridiculous at how bad those things really look.
I'm 48 yo, and I started loosing my hair at the young age of 25. I never really let it bother me but, when it became fashionable, I did start shaving my head. It really does make you look younger. It's better than the "horseshoe" look...lol.
But not for. . . you know . . . ornamental hair.
It's not as bad as some of the more "innovative" solutions to baldness. Hair folicle transplants and such. My hairline is about one third back. I have wondered how I could make it look better, and I've considered shaving my head and going totally bald.
I never got desperate enough to try the rug, though I did have a liking for ball caps there for a while. Probably I'd feel worse, but my hair was never that good anyway. Very thin and fine, flying in all directions. My hair isn't important.
My teeth are important. I would mourn over losing any of those.
I just which as it started to thin on top, it would stop thickening down the body.
I've managed to lose a lot of weight on a "diet" primarily of Mountain Dew and Power Bars.

I have one meal a day, usually consisting of chicken, beef or soy with a side of something like chips and salsa. For vegetables, I have a V8. For exercise, I try to walk for a half hour, but I've maybe done it once a week on average.
I've lost 18 pounds since January.
I used to have a huge appetite, but las year I cut it by using nicotine patches for a while. (BTW, I was a non-smoker and always have been.) I stopped with those after 4 months, but in the meantime, they cut my inclination to eat too much, and I guess it shrunk my stomach and changed my eating habits. So far, I haven't felt inclined to eat more sense. For the rest of the day it's those empty calories that keep me going.

People do things that make them feel better about themselves all the time. In cases like this I would think that it's more about how they feel inside as opposed to anything else.
If it's not on you're head, why do you care? If you feel they look that bad, just take heart in how much better it must make you look standing next to them.
Those are definitely more unattractive than a toupee and will ruin your social life.
It seems these men are not in the world of reality, thinking a fake looking wig will make them look better.

For some, I guess any fig leaf will work if the fear is that they are getting old.
Or, there's guys who think that they're otherwise so studly or good looking that they could bring it off anyway. William Shattner might be an example, but maybe his wearing toupee is actually because he knows he's too identified with how he looked in his 30s, and anything he could do to mimic that however badly will keep him in business.
Ironically for him, that toupee has now almost become his trademark.
Let's face it, we've seen them. The skinny girl with ginormous bolt-ons. Plus, it was the doc's first day on the job, so the nipples don't point exactly forward.
At least his fur hat can keep him warm on a blustery day. Thankfully, I'm just an observer at this point, because mine is thin, but still there.
I LOVE 'em!! Cause they can bounce around forever, and there's never that 5 second lag while their boobs catch up. And they just love it when you pay attention to those cute little titties!!

bald guys were gay--like part of their genetics.
