The Comb-over...is It Acceptable?

[wilko]

Many "older" men come to Thailand and find that for one reason or another their sex life gets a fillip.....

In turn this leads to a renewed vanity and concern about their appearance. I've noticed some pretty dire attempts at covering up the vagaries of old age, among them the "comb-over"....Hair is grown long on one aside of the head and then combed over the crown in order to cover up the bald patch in the middle.

So my question is really how effective is this......do you think it fools people and is it an acceptable form of hair style for the sexually -re-awakened?

[mrbojangles]

It's just wrong on EVERY level.

[kmart]

Perfectly acceptable, imo. Preferably, hair combed from under the armpit, "Bobby Charton" stylee.

if you're going bald your going bald ,anyone you meet in thailand have never seen you with hair ,they will accept you as you are ,baldness is only in your mind not others ,take a look round next time you go out ,many young as well as old are going bald ,its fashionable to have cropped hair nowadays

[garro]

I began losing my hair at thirty and it has slowly continued now for eight years.

I keep it shaved short, and I honestly believe that I'm more hansome now than I was in my twenties.

Losing my hair was the best thing to ever happen to me.

If your losing your hair my advice is that if you shave it short.

Not only will you look younger but also a bit tougher.

[donna]

i agree. i think a man with a cropped head is quite sexy. i cannot take a man with a combover seriously. even my dad doesnt have one!

the combover is just wrong. i have seen many a man like that in a strong wind....not a good look by anyones stretch of the imagination.

Ok, but it's actually on your head, or not, rather than in your mind.

I think a "comb-over" is as effective and daft as old men with pony-tails and/or wearing a cap to hide your baldness.

Your Bald Get over it

I once had to deal with a Thai policeman in the station with one of the worst combovers I've ever seen. It wasn't too far off that guy on

, except with a few more strands of hair. Blatant denial.

Obviously the laughter was somehow held back until we got outside the police station.

/edit - Will probably wake up bald tomorrow as a curse for posting this...

Acceptable? Was it ever? In my opinion, there's only one thing more ridiculous, more risible, more downright pathetic than a comb-over and that's a rug. Jeez, I saw a bloke in Suvarnabhumi the other day, a farang needless to say, with the most apalling toupee. I don't know how these guys do it; you'd have to pay me a small fortune (which is probably what he paid for it) to get me to wear one in public just for half an hour! It was about as convincing as a politician's smile.

I agree with a lot of the posts above. If my hair ever starts to abandon ship, I'll just cut it really short. I might do that anyway; it's a lot cooler.

Absolutely right. No nitts, no shampoo / conditioner. No combing / brushing. Cooler. And, when racing a small bike/car/took took with flags and stuff, nothing to get in your eyes.

According to the WHO report 15/163.37 Viagra sems to increase the chances of serious hair loss. Non-authenticated variations of said drug can lead to permanent hair loss and diminuation of erectile tissue.

WHO report 593/426/subsection 6. "Iron deficiency in bald men"

Baldness, whilst not, in itself, indicative of diminuative masculine apparatti can suggest an iron deficiency. The introduction of additional iron into the system, by way of poorly executed tattooes, implants, insertions and the like, can substantially reduce the effects of social rejection amongst similar creatures found in the nether regions of various public arenas.

The real macho studs just shave their heads. They don't need no stinkin' hair & better to display their earrings & head tattoos. But, if your not into that, you could buy some hair paint, as seen in the movie "The Fabulous Baker Boys". I am sure any of these options will go a long way to get you in the sack with many, many. Don't forget to flash the cash, in lieu of hair or no hair.

[thaihome]

Asian men seem the worse for comb-overs and other anti-balding solutions. At least they don't do the shaved head that seems so popular with westerners these days.

Smart doesn't come into it. He looks absolutely marvellous.

Very good!! But stinkin' as in: " Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges., quote from:Treasure of Sierra Madre (1948) also "If I were you boys, I wouldn't talk or even think about women. T'aint good for your health".

[buffcoat]

Get it cut short (but smart) and then tell everyone who cares that baldness is the natural result of heightened levels of testosterone.

Errrr right.

I'm drinking 100 pipers with a small Leo chaser. You?

Do you mean "badges" or badgers"?

Badgers have proved to be detrimental to bovine health in many countries. It's alledged that they carry TB.

This can't be nice.

TB = Testosterone Baldness, I believe.

But I might be wrong.

As far as the quote on women is concerned I'd agree absolutely.

IF, I was living in a desert with Humphrey Bogart.

But I'm not !!!!! Yipppeeeeee

You're joking?!?!?!that's ACTUALLY a comb-over? I'd never have guessed.....it's amasing what they can do these days....I can hardly wait to go bald and fool everyone like that man.

[wilko]

What happens to the comb-over during sex?????

[wilko]

Get it cut short (but smart) and then tell everyone who cares that baldness is the natural result of heightened levels of testosterone.

or a hormonal imbalance......
