Question for those who have openly discussed their HT with females. Also for those who work in the industry such as JoTronic and Janna. Are a girls thoughts of guys with great natural HT's similar to guys thoughts of girls with great natural boob jobs? (Not talking about extreme cases like 36 F's or Armani style 16 yr old hairlines on NW4's)

To clarify - Obviously being blessed with great natural features in either case is preffered, but unfortunately we're not all that lucky. My view (and others I've spoken with) on a boob job is if a girl isn't happy with what she has (pancakes after childbirth for instance Roll Eyes) and she get's a great enhancement and feels much better about herself then I'm all for it, as long as she's doing it for herself and not just to please others (I don't think a significant other should be asking a partner to get cosmetic surgery).

I've had several girlfriends over the years who've had breast enhancement (seen many more at places NG2GB goes too and plays verbal ping pong) Big Grin and I've had many who didn't. While a great natural feature can't be topped, I had no complaints at all about the ones with a great IBM job (i bought mine).

I believe HT's are the most popular male cosmetic surgery and Breast Augmentation is the most popular for females.

Flyby,
great topic! Big Grin

While Im not in either of the categories you qualified a response from, my thoughts on the matter are as follows:

BREAST IMPLANTS: while I can see a woman electing such surgery for various said reasons (i.e. "my clothes *fit* better" Roll Eyes..."I will feel more *confident*" Roll Eyes..."I just want to look the way I do w/my padded braw" Roll Eyes...) at the VERY least, a woman w/flap -jack titties can justify such a recourse; but as for the rest of them (i.e. those who do NOT look like a 9 year old boy w/their tops off) it is merely a BOOST to put them over the edge and gain extra attention; and as a result feel more confident about themselves as a person in general...personally, boob size is not important at *all*, so long as they don't look like a 9 year old boy w/their shirt off!!! Eek Eek Eek

I think a fundamental difference between the two is worth while noting: *we* ( men suffering from MPB) are merely attempting to attain what we *NATURALLY* had (i.e. hair); women who undergo boob jobs, are attempting to gain more than their natural state. A *HUGE* difference...I for one, would NOT tell a girl I just met or just recently began dating that I had a ht, if I had one...If it was a girl that I was in love with (either before or after) than THAT would be an entirely different story...

That was the tradeoff for me, as my wife is planning on an 'enhancement' of hers during Christmas break.

Next week, spring break, it's the eyelids @ $2,000. So, when factoring in my ht I doubled the cost for budgeting purposes. But, I'm happy with both! Wink

flyby,

Hmmm, that's an interesting question...... I would think it would be similar as a successful ht's seem to boost one's confidence, much like for women with breast augmentations. Self confidence is an attactive feature for both sexes.

flyby,

Great question.

I'm not sure that there is a standard answer to this question, but I suppose it varies for everyone. It all depends on how someone feels about cosmetic procedures, but I agree with Janna that self confidence is attractive and if a cosmetic procedure will help give us that, then more power to us.

I agree with NG2GB that there is one gigantic difference -- which is that we are "merely" trying to restore what we were born with and identified with during our development. And, as we all know, even then, most are not going to be achieving a "perfect" result, or even what we once had. To me, it makes getting a HT less vain than a boob-job; this isn't to say there is anything wrong with a woman's vanity and her wanting to get larger breasts, as it's quite understandable, especially in today's climate.

Consider this, which holds true for many: when we see a guy with relatively good hair, they are pretty much told to take a hike, if they ever even consider a HT to begin with. Conversely, a large majority of women getting boob-jobs have very much normal breasts, but are seeking a state of abnormal excellency.

Personally, I often find boob-jobs to be a detriment to a woman's look, though I have nothing against a woman's desire in wanting one. It is, however, a bit disturbing to see waves of incredibly young girls lining up to get breast augmentation at such emotionally tumultuous stages.

your "after dinner snack" You have a snack after "dinnner"? YOWZAS!
Do you have a post-dessert appetizer as well? Smile
You'd better watch it or your gonna end up a proud owner of your own set of hair-boobs... Razz

Gentlemen, in a discussion involving both 'hair' & 'boobs'
the construct 'hair-boobs' is a logical postulate.
I think this is a very under researched and discussed topic;
one which is worthy of our consideration and can serve for the betterment of the balding bloggers. Can we please approach it w/a sense of maturity? Remember sex-ed in school? Please, lets discuss this w/an open mind...
Now then, more 'hair-boobs' for our consideration...

Wait, w/all this discussion of 'hair-boob's I missed the initial question.

Flyby, "Hair Transplants vs. Boob Jobs"
are you on the fence as to which procedure
you should put your money towards? Hmmm...I would say, since were on the cusp of summer, you will get more immediate gratification sporting a brand new rack ( Red Face ) yet at the same time, when winter comes a ht will keep your scalp warm...Hmmm...I just finished my pizza dinner, and Im about to foray into my post-dinner filet mignon w/garlic mashed potatoes followed by a post-post-dinner appetizer; I shall contemplate the proposal at the end of said meal.
BTW---what size were you considering? Here's a lovely pair. I wouldn't go w/the necklace though, that might portray a sense of femininity and will give people the "wrong" idea about you; you do need to maintain your manhood irrespective of a pair of veloptous breasts

NG2GB, have you turned on Alba just because the girl went n got pregnant. Guess ur moving on to Reggie Bush's girl Kim until Alba pops the lil one out. Since you're lookin for man boobs here's 4 nice ones for ya! Man Boobs Big Grin.

I think it's pretty well known that there's always been a bit of a stigma in society of men getting cosmetic procedures. This is obviously becoming less over the years but still much more so than for women. There's obviously many differences, but I actually think both HT's and Boob Jobs (I'd say BJ's but we know where that'll go Smile) have very many similar aspects as to why men and women get them.

Wish you all the Best of Hair and Boobs Wink
