UGH. Men! Reminds me of my boyfriend who started balding not long after we dated. I didn't mind in the least bit, except that he had a little ponytail, and he quickly started looking awful with a combination of long hair with a bald spot on top. I dropped hints, but for 2 years he didn't catch on. But, what could I do? It was his hair, I didn't want to be a nag.

His baldness progressed fast, and finally his hairstyle got so ridiculous looking that I had to flex my Girlfriend Muscle and made him get a haircut 1 hour he was supposed to meet up with my family again for Christmas! At the stylist's he looked like he was almost in tears, but afterwards... no long hair, not even a combover, and the difference was astounding, he now looks like the lovely professional young man that he is. Men are just so silly about their bald spots sometimes! Nobody is fooled, ever!

Well, I can certainly see your point. However, I can also identify with combover guys and people like your boyfriend. Not having hair is traumatic. I have a full head of hair, but I can't grow hair on my chest. So, I comb my underarm hair over and hair spray it to my chest. It ruins my life in the summer because I'm never able to go into the water because I know that it would wash the hair spray away and leave me "naked". That would be embarrassing as hell and VERY hard to explain.

My dad opted for the comb-back, which is a little better than the comb-over, but if he got caught in a wind he came back looking like Einstein. We were all so thrilled the day he decided to let the barber have his way and cut it all short. So was he, when he realized he didn't have to constantly comb his hair anymore.

So you went out with this guy?
