Excellent observation and question, for I’ve sardonically noted the same thing with a few fellows of the follicly-challenged. I don’t know why some would try such an obvious and ineffectual thing, since it doesn’t even fool the person doing it, and whatever “success” it offers is foiled with the first breeze. However, the why of it is understandable, and sad, even if this particular solution is silly. I started losing my hair at 19, and am a spitting image of Jean-Luc Picard now. I learned early and was able to adapt all the sooner to the lie that “Women don’t care about looks” – Women in general aren’t attracted to bald men, and that’s the sad bottom line of it. So I guess the “comb-over” is cheaper than a rug and less painful than hair transplants. So “we” do this dance because women can be just as shallow and concerned at the surface appearance as any sexist male. So in a sense, it’s easier for men to rise above their stereotypes than it is for women to live up to theirs!
