I make an effort myself to look people right in the eye when they're talking to me. An extra effort if there is something about their appearance they could be shy out.

Birthmarks, lazy eye, etc. Same deal.

Its natural for bald and balding guys to check out each other's situation.

Do you think that women do not look at each other's boobs and butts to see what they've got and compare?

No they are constantly looking!


I think most people look, but have learned that its not polite to be caught staring so learn to make eye contact when the other person is facing them. But make no mistake, EVERYONE looks when they will not be caught, and sometimes even polite people get caught in the act.

I wouldn't stress over it, either being the looker or lookee.

Of course, if they follow it up with a response or a disapproving gesture/expression, then that is another issue.

I have dealt with the ED's for 20 years. oddly enough, as i read in this thread.. for me it was not when i was losing my hair.. another thread i want to start.. you always get that jacka@@ "hey, did you know u r losing your hair?" thanks, i had not figured that one out yet. glad you could let me know. i want to ring those peoples necks back in the day.

but after the plugz.. oh God did the eye drifters start. it always bothered me.. i guess i can't blame them.. with my initial horrible results.. they were probably thinking: "what the hell is this freak of nature?" i would probably do the same. that being said, after a few glances, why keep looking? it aint gonna change. that's when i got pissed. i once pulled the mel gibson line from his disfigured face movie. a lady just kept looking up all during a lunch meeting. I finally got up walked over to her seat, bent over, and said: here, u are so interested, why don't you take a good look?. i pulled my hair up and pushed the hairline back.

she ran out. now luckily for me, i was with my practice partners, who all know, and she was your typical company rep.. so no harm done.. she did not get the account.

made me feel good. but did not change the fact i had bad plugz a young lady was transfixed on. i guess she got last laugh... but i would bet she won't do it again.

over the past 10 years.. i have had a lot corrrected, and it looks better, or perhpas i am just used to it. does not happen as often, or i don't notice it as much.

however, i don't want to be a hypocrite. when i see the lady with the big breast implants.. i can't thelp but let my eyes wander. the problem.. they dress it up and want people to see.... me??? i try to cover it up and hope no one notices. ahh,, the irony!!!!!

I commented about this phenomenon to my wife a while back. Her reply was a classic. "Now you know how I've felt for the last 20 years, when men's eyes drift down to my tits!"

Joking aside, the experience of being on the receiving end of eye drift offers an interesting insight into what it might be like to be an objectified female. Just a thought.

Sometimes I'll pass a balding guy on the street, and we'll catch each other turning around after we pass, trying to see how much hair the other guy has left on his crown.

I laugh it off.

The most embarrassing was when getting a haircut and the lady was telling me what I should do. Trying to get me to by some shampoo that she has in the salon. What bothered me that she said....Your still young and you need to take care of this if I am looking to get married. Old asian woman are cruel. I just wanted to ask for her green card right there and call INS.
