YES!!!! I couldn't agree more.. There is a bad stigma with men singing high in
their head voice!!! It sounds wimpy, non-manly and too light. This is if they do
not have the proper training to adjust this. This is what I am trying to do
know. Being a bass-baritone that has always belted my head voice is extremely
puny!!! If I were to sing in this it wouldn't be acceptable at all! The second
part that I left at the end makes complete sense. To get the head voice to match
the chest voice, so that the listener can't tell the difference is a goal that a
lot of males are looking for but just don't know how to go about it.

On the other hand, if a man sings a light tone that does not connect
well with the chest voice it is most-often labeled "falsetto," and a
bad stigma is given to the tone. It seems like somehow a man has to
find some (initially) light voice that "connects" to his chest voice
or it is wrong. Meanwhile any tone is "accepted" that a woman
makes - they are just encouraged to support more, and "build the
tone" or something.
To me it is simpler, and probably more accurate, just to say that
the light tone up high is usable. The desired effect is to combine
it's quality with your lower voice, etc., etc.
