I thought we women were the insecure ones! I have read so many topics from guys concerned about their skin colour, height, weight, culture, and of course now, hair. Attractiveness can be what you make of yourself and how a woman sees you. Yes, some women make it quite clear they don't want to date a bald man, and there are some men who make it clear they just want a skinny woman with big boobs. But then you have the rest of us who see attractiveness in a different way that has nothing to do with that.
If a woman puts her order in for a good looking man with all the physical traits she's after, she would find she is limiting herself. Once she finds that the guy she wants, let's say he's tall, long dark hair, big blue eyes, swarthy skin, nice teeth, athletic body, warm voice, clean fingernails... and he rejects her, slowly she begins changing her order so that she becomes open to possibilities of seeing attractiveness with different traits. So she may meet a guy who has all she's looking for, but he's balding and therefore, shaves his head - but he still has the warm voice and nice body she's after. Will she turn him down?--probably not.
So many men of all different looks manage to get in to relationships, including hundreds of thousands balding men. I think the women who holler the loudest about wanting good hair and other features they deem as important are the ones who make guys like you feel insecure about it. We're not all like that, and women everywhere are willing to get together with an awesome guy with sex appeal with or without his hair. Look at The Rock, Bruce Willis, LL Cool J, Andre Agassiz, and so many others!
Sex appeal... Lmao these guys are rich and famous.
In the real world your stock drops big time when you go bald. Only way it doesn't is if you were blessed with an incredible face.
When will chicks get real.
Why would I need to know who you are talking about Lol?
"this guy craig is bald and is my neighbor... he is super cute..."
What am I going to say? "Who the fuck is Craig?"
Lol again, get real.
Umm yeah, that's pretty much it: who the fuck is Craig. What's the point in me mentioning my friends who are bald and good looking when you don't know what they look like?--hence why I mention celebrities so that you can identify with a face most people commonly know. Guys WITH hair can be sexy or not it's all how you pull yourself off. Same thing with guys who are bald.
well look. u have to focus on the best things in u like hobbies and sport even if u dont have these aspects u totally have something special like maybe ur funny or a good speaker :) ... the look never matter if a girl loved u give her one month and she will forget how u look but the way u tret her and u personality will stay 4 ever in her mind and heart.
No...
Some girls like that.
But personally I don't. If you're balding, I believe the best course of action for you is to shave it off and grow a beard.
If you think you would look bad like that, then perhaps you're right and should just work with what you've got.
You're not even remotely in trouble. My lifting buddy for most of college went bald at 18 and shaved his head and embraced the hell out of it.
He was tall, grew a bad ass beard, muscular, had a few tattoos, and most importantly had unbreakable confidence. Needless to say I never saw him without a gorgeous girl on his arm.
Going bald is a hyper-masculine thing. And for the most part we can't really stop it. So embrace your masculinity and become a hyper-masculine dude. You'll attract hyper-feminine women because of it.
P. S. We were both bouncers at the same nightclub, and I'm taller than him and equally built, and I can honestly say men were more intimidated by him which just shows the increase in perceived dominance.
If you can pull off a Billy Zane or a Patrick Stewart, it can look very masculine.

But you have to put in the work to back that baldness up, cause it rarely looks good on someone who might be obese and just doesn't take good care of themselves. Not saying you ARE obese, but this is just how I personally view the situation.
I'm "normal" weight
Then at this point it's up in the air, really.
I don't think it's a death sentence, put it that way. Though a girl mentioned above that perhaps younger girls might find it strange, but I'd reckon a girl that's maybe over 24 isn't gonna find it a problem.

I don't think it's a really big component of women's attraction, especially once they are in their mid to late twenties and are themselves aging slowly.
You can't judge your own appearance based off of what you seek in women. Hair isn't as important in a man for women... which biologically makes sense.
Anyway, you can try finasteride if you want. I do think, though, that you probably do not seem as "bald" to most women as you seem to yourself. You know that one girl who is always so fretted about her few gray hairs, even though you don't give a shit, and you know no one else does? Same premise.
I shave my head smooth... been doing it since I was 20. I get women wanting to touch it all the time. lol
I am similar in appearance to Jason Statham, slim built and muscular. I have been commented on my appearance and get lots of looks from women of all ages. I have a goatee and sometimes I do the full stubble thing.
I am outdoors a lot so I have a slightly tanned complexion... I dress well so the look seems to work. I find when I wear my black suit and white dress shirt, I tend to get a lot of glances and stares.
So I think being bald changes it up and gives girls some variety. It does not hinder the attractiveness of the women either. I have dated some great looking women, and my current gf is very pretty and a great person.
So I think you just need to find your style and look that accompanies your baldness.
nooo y would u say that? baldness is sexy if a man can work it and be confident about it:)
sure, hair is nice, but there's SO much more to a man. what about his eyes, smile, kindness, sense of humour... shall i go on?
u have a lot of hope, dont u worry:)
cf.girlsaskguys.com/.../...8b9c-6973dfda9007-m.jpg
Would you say I work it?
@Beaver19 i actually think u do. u have a nice face. honestly though, i reckon u could work anything. i could see a buzzcut or medium length hair on u too in some kinda messy combover.
So you'd prefer a combover to a shaved head? For real? No offense I'm keeping it shaved haha
Honestly though would you date a bald guy so young? Like if I actually approached you somewhere etc or another guy who was shaved from hair loss do we still carry enough physical appeal to attract girls that way? Would you date a bald guy like me.
Don't mean to preen but I just worry as I have high standards on a girls looks too, and I'm no hypocrite I want to attract her physically as well so I mean do you think I look good enough bald I'll be able to find a beautiful looking girl young who will say yes to me or am I kinda outta luck this young? Again I respect honesty I am not the type to bash people for giving it even if it's bad.
@Beaver19 none taken, u asked. I didn't tell u to change ur look lol.
Well keeping in mind that looks are not everything, yeah id give him a chance, i dont c y not.
Im sure there r girls like me who would be fine with baldness, but yes the reality is that most will want at least short hair. U aren't out of luck, but finding a girl up to your standards who happens to love baldness AND is a decent human being at heart... Well , that is difficult to find.
What's easy is never worth it in life regardless, however I wouldn't say she needs to be into it, I get it's never a preference I just worry if it's a deal breaker, I get to some it will be but would you say it's the majority as in over 50/50 girls who find baldness total deal breaker (attractive girls that is) I know you can't tell all but you have insight into social circles I do not. Even if I only have a chance with 1/3 good looking girls I'm not too concerned as chances are I'll still find her soon.
@Beaver19 i seriously couldnt tell u what things are and aren't deal breakers for the majority. too much pressure on me lol. as I've said, a lot of girls like baldness, some are just meh about it, and some won't find it attractive from a young age. really depends on ur luck with the girls u come across.
u have chances definitely. that much is important to remember.
I know and like I said I get that it'll be tougher since my standards are high but settling? I'd never be happy if she wasn't very physically beautiful so it's not an option as long as beautiful looking ones exist. Anyway I just figure it's like you say, so as long as I keep going forward and taking chances eventually an attractive one is bound to say yes I mean luck is a numbers game basically, I just worry that attractive girls find bald such an issue it's unlikely I'll get one no matter how many I ask, or you think that's just me worrying too much and that as long as I continue I should be fine getting an attractive looking girl given how I pull bald?
@Beaver19 Dude, dunno how old this question is but just wanna say that you genuinely suit a bald head. Only thing I would say is it would suit you even more if you grew facial hair and bulked up a bit
Hey, I'm a good looking girl with an awesome personality (just being confident, not cocky) and my boyfriend is in his mid 20's and has been balding since he was around your age. I can tell you 100% honestly that it bothers him a HELLLL of a lot more than it bothers me. I still think he's super handsome and sexy. Would I prefer he had a full head of hair? Sure. But it doesn't change how I feel about him romantically or sexually at all.
Girls that will have a problem with this aren't worth your time anyway.
The hell?
There are so many hot bald guys out there. The main thing is to make it look good. If it's half way gone, don't do a comb over, let it go with dignity and shave if off on time.
Besides, even if you are not balding you should consider...
xD
Had a friend who was definitely balding by that age. It also seemed like he could get a date easily. He did end up shaving his head and looked good that way but really the reason he could easily get a date is he was an interesting guy who could easily start a conversation and listen well enough to where people liked talking to him. It is probably why he also made guys friends easily as well because he's a nice outgoing guy.
Have you ever heard of rogaine? Go to your primary care physician in order to receive a scalp treatment to prevent from thinning hair. This may be caused due to a genetic condition, but I am sure there are routes that you can take in order for it to successfully grow back. Even with thicker hair, I am sure there is a confidence issue. Work on your confidence, overall, and from there hope will present itself :)
i started balding around 24. it wasn't very noticeable to people other than me til about 26. it was definitely difficult to deal with at first. Kind of a shock to the system that you realize the rest of your life is going to be a battle with your hairline.
certainly some women may not be into a balding man but plenty are. in fact I didn't feel like I had much trouble meeting women and just got married last year
I'm bald I'm doing alright. Just keep it shaved and hardly anyone knows I'm balding even though my hairline is actually somewhere on the very top of my head.
I've been thinking about laser hair removal just so I don't have to always shave so much but that's really my only complaint, sometimes I don't have time to set aside and shave my head
"Balding" suck. "Being Bald" does not.
The difference?
Those who are bald are confident with the look, and look neater by having the willingness to cut off what's left on the head.
However, those who are balding and did not make the decision to either go to Bosley (the guy who invented the treatment of re-growing hair) or to just "shave it off" just shows less confidence. Basically, you'd be known as the "guy-trying-to-save-what's-left-of-the-hair-he-used-to-have".
Guys who are losing their hair and shave the rest off are just trying to hide the fact that they are losing hair; im thinning with grace.
With grace? Then why ask the question in the first place? You can't just say "no reason/out of pure curiosity". That would have been believable at first, considering how you worded your question; but since you just said how your hair is thinning yourself, there has to be some spark of insecurity or doubt.
Lots of guys shave their heads on purpose in their twenties, and lots of guys lose their hair prematurely as well. It's no big deal! Lots of guys look great with little or no hair! Really. Don't sweat it. :)
Dude your fine. My friend is the same way his hair started to thin out really bad so he just shaves it completely bald. Has a girlfriend and everything. I got him a T-Shirt once that said this isn't a bald spot its a solar panel for a sex machine lol. Just be yourself and don't be so concerned about your bald head.
lol that is awesome
@LonelyLillie13 Haha I know that's why I had to buy it xD
thats the lucky part for men they can laugh it off, if i wore a shirt that says "captain of the itty bitty titty committee", its just sad. lol
@LonelyLillie13 Haha no that would be awesome lol. How big are they if you don't mind me asking lol. Like guys get worried about their size I think women do to the size of their breast. I don't like big ones myself lol.
in between a A and a B, i don't mind till i realize im below average then i get sad. It wouldn't be a huge issue if my ex didn't make me feel that it was, now it just sort of stuck with me.
Well he's a duchebag. You will be fine there are plenty of guys who like smaller cups :)
Absolutely not. In fact I had a MASSIVE crush on this guy in college and I saw him recently and he is also balding but I still think he's very, very cute.
Not doomed at all. Like you said, confidence is very attractive. If you don't want thin hair line and like a ring around the ears, you can always shave it all off. Travis Fimmel (from Vikings, shaved his head and had a beard, and he is pretty hot) Vin Diesel, Taye Diggs, and many others are bald and look very handsome. You can always try to accentuate one or more of your best features, or just own it! :)
God no.. I know many bald men who are very handsome! And many were young balding. A smooth top is hot on many guys!
Time for you to go bald (#^ ^#) i1127.photobucket.com/.../...m_MDk0NzM4NDE3MjE.jpg
Some guys can totally rock the buzzed/ bald look haha, don't worry about it! Your features will remain the same and as long as you take care of yourself you'll be just as attractive.
I'm glad an attractive women has given me reassurance.
If it really bothers you and causes you to feel self couscous shave your head. Take it from first hand experience, it works. ;~} Just remember when it comes to women you will never bat a 1,000 no matter what you look like.
When my man asked if I would still love him bald, I offered to help buzz off his hair so that he could shave his head. He's still the same man, with or without his hair. I love him, for him, not for his hair :-P
My ex was balding and he was 26. Can you answer mine?www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1401884-guys-who-hang-out-with-girls
There are some people who look good bald and I'm sure you're one of them!! I know you have a great personality and girls prefer a guy with a great personality. :)
You're so sweet
I don't think a bald man is doomed but everyone is different. I would date a an who is bald. I agree with what another person had written that if a man is balding and he shaves off what is left, then it does show he has confidence.
If you can pull off the bald look (can be really hot) then you're just fine! Sometimes bald suits a guy better than a full head of hair. Just depends on how you rock it.
I'm glad cute girls aren't turned off by this so far, this makes me feel much better. Thank you.
Lol my boyfrjend's 25 and started
balding at 22, I love his bald head. But, if you're going to be bald, it's almost a MUST to at least have some facial hair. A beard would be ideal.
I have that covered
Not at all! Far from doomed man, I shave my head and I honestly get so many compliments on it and my dating life is VERY healthy. Just rock it with confidence man and you'll be fine.
No. Plenty of women like bald men. You could always start a hormonal treatment. It has helped me and my brother, since we're both genetically predisposed towards hair loss.
No. not at all. a lot of girls (including me) like bald guys, so your attractiveness is still there as long as you're wearing confidence and good personality :)
I know a guy at work who in his 20s , married and has a bald spot that's pretty noticeable if he can get marry with a bald spot I bet you can find someone.
Have you ever heard of Howie Mendell or Dr. Phil maybe? Lot's of women find them attractive. Not just because of their fame. There's definitely hope for you 😝
Honestly it all depends on the girls
So I chose " there's definitely hope for you " because every girl is different and some wouldn't care because if they like you, nothing will be a turn off
@Beaver19 no bald is not a turn off for me, I had liked plenty of guys that was bald.
basically many girls like bald guys as far as i know, but if i was you i'd curse god (even if i'm an atheist... i need someone to put the blame on LOL) formy bad luck :-/
There's hope. But I think bald men look more confident and hotter when they shave it all off instead of holding on to the remaining hair.
It's buzzed now, I don't do come over lol
Not if you shave your head and grow a goatee.
Not at all. meet your future bride.
vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/.../latest
Nope. Shave that bitch and rock the cue ball. Friend of mine got alopecia when he was young and dated plenty of women and is now married. Its all about the confidence.
Being bald is shit. It happens to a lot of men and it fucks your shit up big time. I am praying this does not happen to me... but it probably will.
For every hair you have missing on your head you need to have $10 more green backs in the bank.
I know men your age who shave their heads completely.
Some women like it. "Skinhead" I believe is the term :)
Confident is the most important thing. Just shave your head like a NBA player, or like GSP, Randy orton when he's shaved.
No. I just want to kiss and rub his head and tell him that he will always turn me on <3... hair is not an issue for me :)
You're awesome
: ) ...
Some men actually look pretty good being bald. Its no big deal.
I think you would be perfectly fine if you just shaved it all off!
here is what some girl told me shave off all your hair
when your going bald that girls are starting to be attracted
to bald men but no your not doomed..
Works for jason Statham and vin diesel...👍👍..
Save money on hairdresser/shampoo too
Balding is a medical condition, shaved is a lifestyle choice. Just get rid of it and embrace the baldness.
I wouldn't say doomed but some girls mind it, some don't. You options are probably going to be reduced (most probably younger girls) but you won't be doomed I think.
Completely-Moby-type-bald = HAF :)
Any other type = DOOMED!!!
@Beaver19 Tbh, I personally never look that closely, even when I am touching, stroking or scratching a mans bald head.
@Beaver19 I know exactly what you are referencing and personally DONT find it a turn off.
cf.girlsaskguys.com/.../...8b9c-6973dfda9007-m.jpg And there's a pic of me, can't see shadow from the front but hey whatever, it is slightly darker than the other guys, anyway you think I pull it off?
Sorry for all the questions and I appreciate your continued responses.
@Beaver19 You bald head looks good :) Yw re my responses... a pleasure xo.
Look at prince William. He started balding young but I still find him as attractive as before. It doesn't really affect someone's impression of you :)
No, it doesn't mean you are doomed. Rock the shaved head look.
I have lost about 80% of my hair and not just on my head, but eyebrows, legs, arms, pubes, and its definitely harder to get women.
I feel sorry for young balding dudes, I know a guy he's hair down past his ass and totally bald on top omfg looks SO Funny !!!
my friend is only 20 and he has a large chunk of his hair already gone, been with a hot girlfriend for almost 2 years now
If you are completely sure you are permenantly balding, just shave it all off. You'll look a lot better.
Nah, my grad school roommate was almost completely bald at 25 and he had a gf til he dumped her.
No, many girls like bald men though you may not have the best chances with younger girls.
What's the younger ages?
No specific age. I'm just saying the younger you go the greater the amount of girl who fnd it unattractive. There are more 28 yr old women who are attracted to bald/balding heads than there are 18 yr olds.
It depends on a lot more than that. I've been bald since high school, I've only been with one girl over 25 and that was just for fun ;)
I dated a 25 year old guy that was completely bald, and I thought he was really cute! My point, baldness doesn't necessary mean unattractive.
Any man who is not handsome is doomed in the dating world.
I have a 24 yr old friend thats balding & he hates it, but he still get plenty of women.
You'll be just fine if you have a good job, make good money and drive a nice car.
How bald are you? Can you post a pic or find a pic similar to you online?
Of course not there are loads of ladies that love bald men. me being one x
