I just don't like the way they feel, they're clunky and uncomfortable, let alone the fact I don't see how that block of Styrofoam is going to prevent me getting injured, I'm pretty sure not that long ago a study was done where a neurosurgeon said he sees no difference in a lot of cases between the ones with and without helmets, I wish I could find that video online but I couldn't. So, not only would I not be willing to wear one but it was the determining factor in me not owning a bicycle as an adult, I just can't do it. Although, recently they repealed the law for anyone over 16 years, but living in a metro area it's too dangerous to ride anyways.
