Dating when you're bald (women)

How on earth do you start dating when all you can think about is should I tell them I'm bald and wear a hairpiece? Should I just duck and keep moving to keep them away from my hair? Would a man even understand and still want to be with me or is being a bald woman just to weird? I'm divorced and older - 53 - and have not dated in a long time to avoid this issue.

" Since you are doing on-line dating you could just put on your profile that you have Trich. Add a link that anyone can click for more info. Explain that you do wear a hairpiece and are self consious about it. Laying it on the line to start with will weed out a lot of men and the ones that do talk to you then you will know they have an open mind and are compassionate.

As for normal - it's just a setting on the washing machine.

To keep his hands away from your head during an intimate time just tie him to the bed and have your way with him...lol. "
