Giving up the ghost...
I worked with a guy a few years ago who shaved his head every other day. He was in his mid 60's started shaving a few years earlier when he no longer had enough hair to support the sewn-in 'hair club for men' toupee. I didn't know him then and he showed me a photo with a full head of dark brown hair that looked like he just got up from a stylist's chair.Those hair replacement treatments must be expensive as I don't see too many guys doing that anymore. Hair replacement commercials appeared everywhere... TV, magazines, and billboards and not so many recently. Besides, shaved heads have become quite fashionable.
On the advice of a girlfriend he was asked to give up the ghost and remove the toupee.
The funny part of the whole thing was his POF profile photos had him with a full head of (fake) hair. He did a lot of power dating and when they saw a much older man with no hair he rarely got a second date. Oh, a small detail... he lied about his age on his profile then wrote a 'made a mistake when creating the profile' correction near the bottom of his introduction.
My comment was 'stop trying to deceive these women' and post your real information up front. He knew his odds would be far less with real information and he truly believed once they 'got to know him' his looks and age wouldn't matter.
