Rather desparate

Hi, everyone,

How do you deal with potential dates? I have tried wearing a wig and hated it, so am now going to try wearing a bandana while trying treatment with Minoxidil.

I believe that one of my potential 'romantic' possibilities has been put off by my alopecia, and I really don't see any future 'possibilities' while my scalp is getting more bald. It annoys me on two counts - (1) - I obviously don't like losing my hair, but (2) on the other hand, I still have more hair than some males, yet I'm rejected (i.e. double standard).

I'd like to hear about your experiences.

I wear a wig because it makes me feel more comfortable, but I did tell my boyfriend that I have AU before we started dating and he didn't care. Anyway, if a man is going to reject you because of your hair, then he's not good enough for you. If wearing a scarf or bandanna makes you feel more comfortable then go for it, but I've seen a few women out in public with no hair and I think they're gorgeous when they own it.

You'll find someone! I really don't think men are as fixated on appearances as stereotypes would imply, and having or not having hair isn't as big a deal as it seems. Good luck :)
