"Until then, not worrying about my hair seems to be the best route".
CCS; if you have the option of not worrying about your hairloss, it is definitely the best option for always. Most of the people who visit forums like this don't feel they have that option. The fact that you have undergone unsatisfactory hair transplant surgery and are now thinking about a hairpiece suggests you don't really feel you have that option either.
Be that as it may, my main purpose in posting is to observe, principally for the benefit of any newbie who may accidentally happen upon your post, that as far as the social consequences of wearing a hairpiece are concerned you appear to inhabit an alternative universe made up of clips from low-budget Hollywood films, and which bears no resemblance to reality.
First, in real life neither women nor men will "rip your wig off", whether you are minding your own business or not. For one thing, it is physically impossible. For another, it would be a criminal offence. The suggestion that that is a real concern for hairpiece wearers is utter rubbish.
Second, the suggestion that males competing in the dating market or women who don't want to date you will use exposure of your hairpiece to third parties as a strategy is also nonsense. In the first place, if your hairpiece is so obvious that the men and women around you are all aware of it, you are doing it wrong. There is no reason why it should not be undetectable to all but long-term intimate partners if you take a little care. In the second place, people in real life are simply not that Machiavellian or nasty. In 99 cases out of 100 even if someone does spot that you wear, they will not be ill-natured enough to call you out on it or use it against you; they will treat it for what it is - a harmless cosmetic white lie.
Again, in real life I have never met an ugly 50-year-old who buys a full cap, thinks he is hot because of it, and walks into a frat/sorority bar and starts hitting on the 21 year old hotties. That sounds like the plot of a cheap sitcom, probably starring Rob Schneider.
In short: wise up mate.
