Corporate Sales Boyfriend. Wig Or No Wig?

[Allesandra]

Hi guys. My question is this. My boyfriend had hair transplants but it really didn't work. Now his donor is depleted. Norwood six. He is a ok looking guy, i prefer muscles to hair. Muscular. six foot. He works in corporate sales and the question is this. He is taking a new job in a new city and the new hair pieces are very good. We tried on a short one and it looks very good. Should he go with the hair piece or a shaved look for his new corporate job. I say the wig because its makes him look younger in that competition, (but i like shaved way better)..... least for a corporate guy. PIC is approximation of the idea:

To be honest I think the "shaved/buzzed look" is more and more accepted even in the corporate world.
Go for it.

I agree with Roberto...

Depends, in parts of europe wigs can be considered feminine and/pr gay, in many parts of asia its just bad but i dont really know why since asians has low acceptance for bald guys (china is ok, not bad to be bald there). Only USA has a culture where wig can be better than shaved bald. Personally, theres no way i would wear a wig, its ridiculous beyond what words can describe, i cant imagine sinking lower than that, a wig would be the ultimate humiliation and a social castration.

I been on a fair share of business meetings through my former job, i dont know how you imagine such a meeting Alessandra but its not about looking more presentable, for example this guy i remember who had a really fake glued on smile revealing fancy falseteeth, noone liked him, too flashy. It can be an advantage to look like a normal guy in a normal suit rather than a poser in shiny Armani and a Rolex.

Its not worth the extra stress IMO

Additional: he is in corporate sales, who cares, its not like he is going to be an impressive CEO with an aura of authority everyone will look up to and want to please. Hes a fukkking sales, if the last two ceo of microsoft and the former apple ceo could be bald then ytf cant you boyfriend be? Your bfs job isnt as glorified as you think, it will not take long before his colleagues will notice the wig, embarassinggg.... femi!

SCARS. FROM TRANSPLANT. Are another consideration. Shaved, he looks fine, but there are marks and some little grooves, especially pits at the hairline.

Well, if you look at any rugged looking bald man, its kinda the same, most men have some beat up scars and such. ***The transplants most likely didnt take because the physician didnt use modern microscopes to cut the hairshafts, and cutting is the most important thing. They also have to be the right depth.

**He had met last year with Dr. John Frank, columbus ohio, former ohio state football player, transplant surgeon. Dr. Frank said he could help him with the bumps and repair, but he'd rather add more hair. Not much donor, but FUE ok. Dr. Frank is very impressive. He does repair work.

****see pic, balding man looks perfectly good, attractive. However, i think the wigged guy looks younger.

Its not an easy choice i suppose.

You really prefer muscles over hair ? There are plenty guys that have decent and a lean physque with a bit of muscle, which is probably what majority of women prefer, although I myself prefer more size. So I guess I do have some hope afterall being 6'2" / 225lbs with a good physique.

Regarding your boyfriend, yes he does look younger with the wig, but I think that wig specifically doesn't suit him that well.
Personally I can't see myself wearing wig, but if the stakes are really high and he needs that job and it could be a matter of getting that job or not, then why not. But does that mean he's gonna have to wear that wig for the rest of his time on the job? I think that would be too much stress in the long run and not worth it.

Also i think that the bald look is very common and accepted in the corporate world, especially for men in their 30's.
Another aspect that he needs to take into consideration is, let's say he does get the job, but later on decides he's sick of wearing it ?

You also need to make sure nobody can spot it's a wig otherwise it might work out against him once the word spreads he's wearing a wig.

Muscles any day!!!! Athletic. A little scruffy. But it's up to him.

 

[buckthorn]

Read carefully. That's not his wig but I was demonstrating how one could make someone look younger or older

I think you're quoting the wrong comment.

I said nothing about that being his wig.

Quote and reply carefully.

Holy sh*t, I get it!! he's doing Bosley infomercials!! in that case, the wig is perfect. just teach him how to sway it back and forth in the wind.

What does he think about it? This is not a question a guy would leave to someone else to decide, although no doubt he would want your support.

As you say, the latest hairpieces are very good - lightweight, undetectable and you can forget you have one on. The reasons for not wearing one tend to be psychological rather than physical. Lots of men don't like the idea of using a prosthetic for basically vanity reasons, or they live in fear of being exposed as a vain person.

If your guy can contemplate the idea of trying one, then he should try one. He obviously wants hair enough to try a transplant, which is a far more expensive, invasive and risky procedure. Hairpieces are cheap and wholly reversible. You just put it in the trash if you don't like it. If he wears a decent one, he will look better, that is guaranteed.

I have a professional job partly in a corporate environment, and I don't find wearing a hairpiece in any way incompatible with that. It's a truism that better-looking people have easier more successful lives, and there are few guys who don't look better with nice hair. I don't see why you have to choose between muscles and hair - you can have both.

there was a study about how there's significantly less male pattern baldness in high position jobs than in the general population. it was in usa, though, if I remember correctly
