Just about every weekend I find myself roaming the streets of DC. There is always something going on and cool people to meet. The other week I was out for Cinco de Mayo at a happy hour that was completely lit at 7pm. Tons of eligible bachelors that screamed “grown man”.
This one guy approached me and we hit it off. Great conversation and I loved his look. He was dressed in a nice fitted suit, Cole Hanns, and wore his hair in a nice Temple and Top cut with nice curls at the top. When he asked could he see me again, I quickly responded yes and put my number in his phone.
We went out for dinner the following Wednesday and dove deep into conversation about life, politics, and even self appearance. All was well until he got on how guys can wear “accessories” to better themselves as well. “Huh, what do you mean?”
He then went into how he wears a hair piece to give him this particular look and that it wasn’t his hair. With a blank stare on my face I was in disbelief. But it looked so natural, and it was one of the things I noticed first about him. His hair is just so…neat.
My next response was asking if he was bald or something. To my surprise he said no. He just has a regular clean cut but wanted to do something to switch up his look.
I just couldn’t believe the conversation we were having, and the fact that he was so honest about it too!
I know we’ve all seen the photos floating around with the hair pieces for men, but I just didn’t think I would ever be having a conversation with a heterosexual male who actually wore one and was open about it on the first date.
At this point I could no longer take him seriously, and after the date told him I just wasn’t interested in him in that way and we haven’t spoke since.
What’s your take on men and weave?
Nesha, this sounds like a conversation we might have…
To each its own but IDK think that would have stopped me from talking to him completely
There would be an outcry if a man stopped talking to a woman that was wearing a weave. So why is it an issue if a man wears one?
Exactly
That is against Guy Code though.
I would be creeped out too
The very minute that I spot he’s wearing a weave, I’d weave my behind on out the door!
Is that called a “Metro Sexual” male trait??? I’m a baby boomer so I’m not really sure? No I can’t see both of us getting a weave done at the same time…. gotta run
I have never seen such a time in history where so many men want to be a women. A man wearing weave…the line has been crossed.
In the 18th century, men wore white wigs that was curled to the gods! So what you saying?
Even in ancient Egypt, both men and women would shave their heads and opt for wigs because of the heat. Ijs, it’s nothing new.
#PettyPatty that guy could have been your husband but you were more concerned about what was on his head instead of what was in it. We get on men for this nitpicky behavior all the time…
If a weaved up lady leaves then she is a hypocrite lol. What’s good for you should be okay for him
So because she wears a dress he should be able to wear a dress too?
That’s different, cross dressing and/ or a man with gender identity issues is a different barrel of fish compared to improving ones looks. Its hypocritical for a woman to say she wont say she wont date someone with fake hair as she sits there with her own fake hair.
Its simple if you don’t mind your man wearing weave ..Hats off to you..but if you don’t it doesn’t make you a bad person..Even if you yourself wear weaves…If men and women can do all things alike .then what seperates the two..should he wear lipstick because I do,should he wear a mini skirt because I do . ijs everything is not that black and white..but to each his own
I’m all for it however if he starts judging others like when I dated this guy who kept saying he only dates chix that hit the gym and kept talking about fat chix this fat bish that only for me to discover he wears an entire girdle with pectoral silicone cutlery pissed me off like the nerve
If you approve of women wearing weave or wear weave yourself then it might be kind of hypocritical.
Men have worn toupees forever. Isn’t this the same thing?
It’s only an issue because its for black men. People didn’t say s**t when white men started wearing lace tracks on a cap! Lol
#simplyshallow
Why?!!! I thought he was very handsome before hand. The weave/ new doo made me question.
Each to their own 🙂
Gay
Men are no longer men. Sad disgusting world we live in.
Does that go for men who wear toupees or get hair plugs?
Toupee’s to cover a bald spot is on a whole different spectrum that men wearing full blown wigs, drawing on their brows, contouring their face and looking like an all around drag queen.
if she can wear one so can he
I don’t see how someone can be so negative about something that can give someone a little more confidence or feel better about how they look
im feeling her on this. just something about a man playing in hair and primping in mirrors too long thats a turn off for me
People can do what they want to do. I wore weaves and I wear wigs. Would I applaud a man doing the same, hell no. Roll confusion is a problem. Thirsty women accepting anything from men to have a man is a problem. If one of my grown sons ever….look men, just don’t be a b**ch about it, IJS…..
Lol so hilarious!!!
Do whatever makes you feel good, no matter what others say….
Now that the gender lines are being diminished to the point of nonexistence, why is this a problem for women? We want a man to accept that we wear weave, make ourselves up to the point of not even looking like ourselves anymore, and wear shaping structuring undergarments so that we look like a coke bottle instead of the pumpkin we really resemble, but take issue with the man who we couldn’t tell had a hair piece. Now, having said that, I wouldn’t talk to a man who wore a weave, but I don’t wear them either.
There are just some things that no matter how I try I would not be able to wrap my mind around. One of those things is dating a man with a weave. It would come the same way to me like dating a man who wears skirts and dresses. TO ME wearing a weave is not manly thing to do.
