I understand this topic as I hear it from woman's perspective all the time, too.
If you are scared of being judged, imagine how many women battle hairloss these days and become depressed since not having hair is somewhat normal for guys but not women.
Everyone thinks that a woman with no hair is sick and has cancer. So we go through the same struggles and internal dialogues and fears.
Fortunately, I started wearing when I was already in a serious relationship and my now husband was the one that stood by me whatever I decided to do.
He is shaved so we make fun together that I could teach him how to wear a hairpiece
And when I see same struggles from both men and female sides, makes me think if a dating app for hairloss men and women would be a good idea?
Not to say that you cannot meet someone normal but surely people who go through the same will not judge other one and would remove the friction from the start.
If I remember correctly, even on these boards some couples met?
And I personally know so many beautiful women who struggle with hairloss and use some helper hair (which you would not even know if you saw).
