Combover aka the swoop.

Why do they do it? From a mirror's reflection it probably looks like more hair. Since they can't see themselves from another's pov, I don't think they realize how ridiculous it looks.

That applies to a lot of people.

My uncle does that, but here's the funny thing, he only does it sometimes! I think he figures, he's practically bald, he can get away with no haircut. He can be cheap like that. One day, it's a tacky 300 dollar silk shirt with cans of sardines on it, the next day, he's stealin' catsup packets and saving 9 dollars on haircuts. I think the strand-o'- hair turban is meant more to keep it out of his eye than to fool you that he has hair.

Is it really any worse than wearing a lot of makeup, getting a boob lift, or porcelain veneers? If I start to go bald, I will be the first to shave my head, but some people don't want to let go of the last vestige of youth. We're all getting older.

My ex was balding @ 21 years of age..... nothing was more frustrating than blowing his 'whispies' out of my face..and parting with his "hair" was almost like castration for him.

He shaved his head completely bald for his new wife and it is much more attractive !

Yeah it does look really bad. I think when this happens men should just start cutting their hair really short. It looks better that way.

hey touchdown a lot of people don't realize that for some it changes thier entire appearance. It has taken and made some appear to be younger than they really are. I have been taken to be younger than I really am at times and at the moment it is flattering but then I think about it and I realize hey I earned the years and I am proud of them. I actually have a full head of hair and I just prefer to shave it. It is cooler in the summer by a long shot. This is not to mention the ladies that find bald exciting or I should say appealing. So many are just so vain about thier hair and thinking how it is going to effect thier looks. I have to admit I was the same at first until my mom made me realize hey it will grow back. I guess it is that first thought of wow I have no hair and the feeling of how should I say this. I guess it could be said in different ways. Fear, shame, loss of ones dignity to a point, as you had said the feeling of growing old. Funny thing is the loss of hair is not just an age thing. at least for some I know. My great grand father was bald from the time he turned fifteen. then on my mothers side my grand father was grey haired from the time him and his twin both turned fourteen. guess thats why I have the problem of a grey beard since I was in my late teens. the ones that comb over are just able to accept the fact that they are loosing thier hair. They are trying to find a way to keep what little they have until the time comes that it goes. Now this is my opinion on why they might do a comb over. a dear friend of mine told me that was why he did the comb over and still does to this day and he is a couple of years older than myself. Have known him for almost twenty years now. He told me some don't like it but his wife has no problem with it so he continues to keep it that way. at least she hasn't said anything against it and they have been together for 18 years now. well enough said have a good one people.

oh forgot to mention this. when I shaved my head and finally went with out a cap after two weeks. I went walking through the local grocery store and passed my step mother and didn't speak to her. She had looked straight at me and I mean right in the eyes. She walked on until I ran across her at the check out and I asked her if she had lost her tongue. She looked at me and told me that she didn't know it was me. It did make that much difference in my looks. (at least to her and a few friends) well going to go just thought it would be an amusing little story.

take care everyone.

I think it's weird to see guys who do a comb over. It's like they think they are fooling the world about their baldness.

I have a severe receeding hairline, so I just cut it very short. I've only met one or two women who seemed to have a preference for longer hair, most seemed more concerned with "Don't do a comb over!"

Many balding guys think the majority of women don't like guy with receeding hairlines. I think the majority of women don't like guys with low self esteem over the issue, or guys whom have f'ed up haircuts.
