One of the most annoying shit tests I get is when I am wearing a hat out at the bar and a girl drops "Wait, are you bald? Let me see" after 3 minutes of conversation. In my opinion, you have to take the hat off and show her what you are working with. Avoiding it, even playfully, makes you look super insecure.
Agree and amplify works great - show off that sexy dome. Just be sure not to let an OUNCE of insecurity shine through or its game over - be very careful with self-deprecating humor unless you are naturally hilarious and/or super confident. I've grown to love my bald head so for me its no big deal, but it wasn't always that way.
Even if it's only a shit test - it's still a hilariously rude thing for a girl to say. Can you imagine being mid-conversation with a chick at the bar and saying "Wait, are those high-waisted shorts covering your beer gut? Let me see."
When a girl drops this line in first five minutes of conversation, its a foolproof indicator of whether she is an awful person. Pump and dump accordingly.

Some thoughts on balding and wearing a hat..
It's often said that if you are balding, don't wear a hat because it looks insecure- like you are trying to hide your balding.

It's often said that if you are balding, don't wear a hat because it looks insecure- like you are trying to hide your balding. There may be some truth to that, but that's not the only reason why you'd want to wear a hat if you are losing your hair.
People with good hair have a frame around their face that draws attention to the parts that are important for communication- the eyes and mouth.
When you are losing your hair, you lose that frame, especially while you are in the midst of hair loss- there is a lot of visual noise going on on top of the head.
I wear a hat not just to conceal my balding, but also because I like how it frames my face and draws attention to my eyes. I don't want the girl to be distracted by my thinning hair. It can also look more mysterious and possibly be evocative of some kind of archetype of power (like a king who wears a crown).
Guys who have bad hair can also use hats in this way.
Going out with a shaved head can be good because it gets rid of the thinning hair noise thing, but it still draws a lot of attention to your head instead of your face, especially if you are a white guy. Darker skin guys can pull it off more easily I think because they don't have this giant glowing white bulb resting above their eyes.
At night, when things are fast paced and girls are making quick decisions about who they want to give their attention to, a hat can help a lot of guys even if they aren't balding. It can make you standout from a crowd.
To broaden that last point: a lot of players who aren't looking for a long term relationship only need enough game to get dick into pussy. Once that finish line is passed, the relationship with the girl changes. After you've banged a girl out, maybe once or probably after a few times, you can, and will often need to do things that you can't do when you first meet her. Things like showing her anger if she misbehaves or whatever. There's definitely a dividing line between pre-bang game and post-bang game.
People might argue that wearing lifts if you are short, or trying to conceal your bad or balding hair is a reflection of weak inner game, but I'd argue that they can help level the playing field for you more, and possibly give you an advantage.
Maybe it is "cheating" or "lying" but who cares if you aren't going to see the girl again.
Quick fixes can work.. think about those old cowboy movie sets where the houses were fake facades. Sure they aren't real, but they function perfectly to help sell the reality of the movie.
Besides, in the same way that a girl can be more approachable during the day than when she's bitching out at a nightclub, a girl can be more forgiving of your short comings after you've conquered her sexually. In fact, if your game is strong she will start making things up about you to re in force her fantasy. Once that hamster starts spinning in overdrive, a girl will often think things like your dick is bigger than it is, or that you are famous, or whatever it is that puts you on a pedestal so she can worship you.
There's no shame in doing whatever it takes to win that first bang in this game.

I have been balding for 22 years, since I was 18. (So I consider myself an expert on this field. ) I've taken meds for 15 years (mainly finasteride + minoxidil), which have slowed down the process without major side-effects. My hairline has receded pretty far but I'm still hanging in there and refusing to give up and shave... Well, I do shave on the sides and back very short and leave the top a bit longer. I also bleach my hair. I thicken the hair with MSM, glue-type hairgel and Toppik. The result is far from beautiful, but acceptable and suits me probably better than totally shaven head.
I experimented with partial (frontal) custom hairpieces 10 years ago for a couple of years. I had 4 long term girlfriends at the time and they didn't have a clue... I'm not sure whether the hairpiece helped with women in general but I don't think it hurt. In the end it was too much of a hassle to use it so I quit.
I often wear a trendy baseball cap when outdoors, and on nice summer days I prefer a straw cowboy hat... Not many men wear them here in my country, so it grabs attention, which is a good thing of course. Usually on a night out several women (and men) compliment my hat, and I feel that it has helped my game.
At this point how much would you say you have spent on your hairline? Genuine question. 15 years on meds and custom made hairpieces don't come cheap, after all.
