Men and fake hair . . . .

One of my guy friends was advising me that dudes do not like fake hair on women . . . and of course, I feel my cutest when I'm rocking a phony pony or other hair piece (and mine are pretty fake looking - I don't try to fool nobody :lachen:). So I'm wondering, does wearing fake hair reduce your chances of pulling a man?

I don't think it reduces your chances, just as long as you look good wearing it. I do know a lot of guys don't like fake hair and at some point will ask you to give it up. I think they just want to make sure you have some hair to begin with, that is my opinion. I really don't think this can possibly ruin ones chances of pulling a man, if it does then you don't need a man that shallow anyways.
 
ask me if i care what HE likes....chile puleez...imma always wear my weaves and it ain't nuffin he or any other brotha can do about it. If he don't like it, then he short cuz half da women where in live (DC metro area) are rockin some kinda weave, wig, or whateva. Hell, his own momma prolly rockin one so....it's whateva.

plus u gotta remember, men are off da physical attraction, so as long as you look good, mind straight, da hair part dont' matter anyway....

that is unless ur trying to flirt with someone and ur wig gets sucked in a vaccuum like mines did....:ohwell: but otherwise, do u chile...
 
I guess it may reduce your pool of potential suitors but its no different then any other prefence, ie. skin color, weight, age, race etc.

I wear half wigs and I haven't had any problems getting men. I'm sure I have missed out on some guys who didn't talk to me because of my fake hair but who cares.

Of course this reduction in potential suitors may have a greater affect (did I use the right one) on someone who pool is already limited.

i think the truth is the dudes who say that actually mean they don't like fake hair that looks fake b/c the fact of the matter is most of them can't tell a good weave from a woman's real hair anyway. i find this to be the case with dudes who say they don't like women who wear make-up too. either way, do you, glib. if you feel prettiest wearing your phony pony, then rock that phony pony! i think a man will be more drawn to a woman who is confident and feels good about the way she looks (fake hair or not) than a woman who is self conscious and dressed a certain way not because she likes it but because of what she thinks others might think. and if a dude decides he is not interested in you simply because you are wearing fake hair, then dude is not for you.

:lachen:i love your posts. i always read it like it's madea talking!
 
Some men will ALWAYS find something to complain about wrt women. Do what you think is best and go w/ the flow. If all the women w/ fake hair were all alone, women would have stopped wearing it years ago. :giggle: At the most, he speaks for himself. Some men have a tendency to think that THEIR preferances are universal. :rolleyes:
 
I met my husband wearing a few tracks!!! When we got married I had a full glue in weave!:lachen:

Anyway from my experience, whether your hair is real or not is the last thing on their mind.

My husband could care less what I have in my head! I also go to college and I wear half-wigs most of the time and let me tell you ain't no one checking to see if my hair is real, now on the other hand I live in a mostly white area and they do not have a clue what's going on with my hair anyway.

When I went to visit my girlfriend (who's white and she knows all of my hair secrets) but her teenage daughter thought it was my hair, she had no clue!

So how about I put it this way and please don't take it the wrong way, black men might wonder more and care more if your hair is fake, white men dont seem to mind as much, I'm not speaking for ALL men.
 
It really depends on the man. Pulling in the man with any kind of of "illusion" and keeping him are different.

I would say a good number of men I know do not want to be a woman that is constantly weaved up no matter how good it looks.

But at the end of the day all men are different. Some could care less and some are obsessed (yes they exist) about a woman's hair (texture, feel, length) but more specifically how a woman's hair affects her appearance.

I agree with this. I think it depends on the type of guy.
Glib- If I've pegged you correctly, the guys you would want would probably not want a girl who appears to wear fake hair. They would probably not want a girl with fake hair at all, but they surely wouldn't want it to look fake.:nono:

I'm sorry but. What kind of guy is this?
 
Yeah? .... and these are the same men who typically have seminally defiled pictures of women like Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, Melyssa Ford, Esther Baxter etc. in their nightstand drawer. :rolleyes: Just keeping it real...

Oh and since when does dude speak on a collective, universal male perspective where it concerns the expectations of how a woman should keep herself?

Everyone has their preferences and people are drawn to different things, but I feel if a man can't get past the occasional, or even the perpetual, phony pony or weave or w/e, then he needs to be cut loose, because it is not that serious!

Thanking for making my ribs ache. :lachen::lachen::lachen:

Same thing happened to my friend at a restaurant. This guy passed her and the cuff of his jacket hooked onto her afro wig.
Next you know ol' girl is feeling a breeze and her white boyfriend (who they had just stated dating is about to pass out in shock.
She got up and ran after the dude (who was oblivious to what was hanging on his slieve). Grabbed it and put it back on.

some men just don't like fake hair...sometimes they look at it as insecurity. some want to be able to pull it, feel on it and for some it holds religious meaning...but ask me if my FH care? Hell to the no...betta not cause I got a tote bag full of weaves, wigs and ponies and all the while I'm sporting a TWA...:lachen:
 
Please, guys say it but will turn their heads when a weaved up attractive woman passes by. I dont meet many men where it's a deal breaker for them.
