Compared to when you were bald.
Did you notice people behaving differently since you got hair ?

Yes and no.
Much more positive compliments than before I got none.
And if I did before,it wasn't on my hair or overall look. Like someone saying nice t-shirt that's it.
But they don't behave any different.

Well first of all, I did not go from bald to suddenly having a full head of hair! Most people who start wearing hair systems try and transition seamlessly without drawing attention to it. They might have been using hair fibers or powder concealer, for example and get to the point where they feel they'd be better off with a hair system because it looks better and more realistic etc. This was how I did it.
I could no longer get the look I wanted with hair loss concealers, and it caused me so much anxiety in social and dating situations wondering whether people could notice the concealers, whether they looked natural etc. Sometimes people would glance up at my hair or hairline as I know towards the end of my time wearing concealers it did not always look natural, so they must've sensed something was up with my hair even if they didn't know about hair concealers.
This was when I decided to shave off my balding area on top and wear a hair system. My first system was a stock 6 inches one, and I have long hair on the back and sides, which gave the illusion of a full head of long hair. It did look pretty good, although was still not the full long hair I'd dreamed of because my bio hair on the back and sides was not as good as the hair on the system. I did get one or 2 compliments on it at work, but the main thing it did was to eliminate the powdery and fake look of concealers, the weird glances and the anxiety I had about that, allowing me to feel better and more confident in my day to day life. Of course the initial learning curve of wearing a hair system caused some anxiety, but that faded once I got the hang of it.
Then I ordered a 10 - 12 inch long hair system, which finally arrived about 6 weeks ago. This enabled me to have that long, flowing, glossy rocker hair that I'd always dreamed of. The number of compliments I've had on it as well as the interest I've had from women has literally gone through the roof! Just today I got a number off a girl over half my age who said I looked amazing and she loved my hair. I've had quite a few more compliments on my hair from strangers too. Someone who I was speaking to recently said he liked my style and guessed my age as 10 years younger than my actual age. I did not complain. A work colleague last year guessed my age as 16 years younger than my real age....I'm not so sure, but it made me feel good!
The string of compliments on my hair has never happened to me before. It's confirmation that I'm on the right track, and that wearing hair systems was the right decision for me. I reckon I'm about to have some very successful times with women and in other areas of my life, despite me not being as young as I was. I honestly think I look and feel better than at any other time in my life, and a lot of it is down to the hair system. Never underestimate the power of hair on your perceived age and level of attractiveness!

@Hair2019 that is a very interesting read. It would be good to se some pics if you could post them, of the longer hair.
I can't say that I've been as successful but I am married with kids and nearly 50 years old... so not in the same gaming field as you
My transition to hair wasn't as seamless as I would have liked, because I waited too long and my fibres were looking really bad. My first hair system was then too much of a shock to me and to everyone! And it was a huge learning experience that has led to my current custom systems being great.
Having that long flowing hair - even just up to 6 inches - is a dream and I would love to do it but there is zero chance I could pull it off now and look natural. And that's always been my objective: to look appropriate rather than look awesome, with respect to the hair system. If it looks too awesome then the people around me will know it's fake (though I'm sure many already guess it is, because of the quite sudden change). So I try not to draw attention to it, and other than having a full head of hair and a decent hair cut/style, there is nothing 'special' about it - I do get looks from people but it's the kinda look where they are thinking "he has decent hair". Funnily enough most looks I get are from bald(ing) guys
Now, if I was somewhere new where no one knew me, then sure heck I would love to get longer hair! Some days I think that it would just be so much easier if my friends and family (cousins) knew I wore a system, then I could change it up and experiment as I wished to, without worrying about being caught out.
To the OP: it's not so much about how other people react to us, it's that the hair changes how we act and how we feel. The confidence, or the nervousness, it can make you feel great or feel scared of being seen. It's important to see the hair as a tool that should make us feel better about ourselves; that in itself will make other people behave differently to you.

I was wearing bandanas/headbands/hats a lot to cover up so people didn't know the magnitude of my recession. The hair on top is thinning but it's still pretty strong. I was easily able to create the illusion that I had a big head of hair by way of styling + a little coverage w a headband/bandana.
I don't think people knew at all I had a piece when I started wearing. Everyone was highly complimentory & asked why I didn't expose my hair more before because it looks so good. I never hid the fact that it's a toupee. I don't like lying about it as I think it's a very easy thing to detect.
