I could never do that. I will get even less girls...which would be a feat in and of itself.

yes, ive seen them do it.. on extreme makeover.

They said it takes about 4 months to grow in to total coverage but youll see a difference almost instantly.

i've seen that show but the transplants I saw were to the front of the head and they did some type of weave or hairpiece for the top of the head.

I have seen a number of men who had obvious plugs on the top of their head. They look really, really silly, especially when the surrounding hair continues to recede. They end up looking like perfect diamond-shaped grids, like doll hair. Jeff Van Gundy is a good example. If you want to preserve any part of your dignity, don't get hair plugs.

Yeah...I wouldn't get the plugs. Just cut your hair short, maybe try rogain or propecia if you're really worried about it. My hair is falling out....I'm just going to start buzzing it really short and maybe I'll try shaving it if it gets really bad.

I was going to try propecia...but it supposely has sexual side effects. I am not willing to deal with that in exchange for the possibility of a few more hairs on top.

Oh man...your hair plugs get a veto by vito and you move on to the wigs. LOL, buddy...I don't think you understand what we're trying to say.

Is that really something you seriously want to do? Those things are really gross. They have to remove them once in a while to clean out the oil and dead skin that accumulates underneath them (yuck!), not to mention that only VERY expensive toupees look anything other than totally ridiculous (as is witnessed by the fact that even wealthy celebrities like Burt Reynolds have hairpieces that look like roadkill).

Women will generally have no problem with baldness and even embrace it as long as you show confidence. Who are you trying to please anyway? Just be yourself and stop worrying about this stuff.

I am trying to please females. I could not care less if I had hair. Name one attractive woman that is with a bald guy....a bald guy that is not rich.

So what's going to happen when you finally get said girl in the sack, and in the heat of the moment your toupee falls off, lands in her gaping maw, and causes her to gag and upchuck all over your chest? ;) lol..

Yes they can! I have an uncle who does the hair transplant surgery...I was looking at his book of before and after pictures and it was amazing...NOT cheap though and it is a long process....

This guy...

Baldness is cool. It just means you have more testosterone than the rest of the wimps.
