Frankly, I don't think there is anything that looks worse than a man who has no hair on top and long hair in back. It's as if they think it all balances out somehow. Men will go to great lengths and expenses to try to hide what is naturally occurring to them. I'm sure that Propecia and Rogaine probably aren't cheap. Men grow their hair long on one side and flip it over, as if people won't notice that's what they did.
Toupees are just horrible.
Think about it. Sure, if you're Ted Danson or Burt Reynolds, you can afford the good stuff, but the average guy on the street ends up looking like he has a carpet sample on his head. Just as an aside, I was at a mall in Council Bluffs this summer and was roped into participating in some survey. I only did it because this sweet old lady asked me to, and I felt sorry for her. She seemed like she was having a tough day.
