Is a young bald guy (shaved all the way to the skin) less attractive or a turn off/dealbreaker at this age?

Question

Young ladies 18-early 20's: I'm 19, and have a condition that made me lose scalp hair, a lot of thinning happened and I really have no choice but to shave it skinhead, people say I pull it off well, I'm paler and skinny but my face and headshape work well with it. But the big concern is young women, I've read so many stories of guys on the Internet who lost hair young and say forget about the pretty girl. I don't want it to be true but there are a lot of them out there. And truthfully I admit looks matter to me, I have higher standards but it's something I take seriously I'm not some player I only need one attractive girl in the end, so what I mean by saying this is; I don't blame girls for wanting an attractive partner either, I'm just wondering if no hair young makes you unattractive. I just can't imagine an attractive girl who obviously has plenty of options most all if not all have hair, would choose the bald guy. So young women, could you date a shaved bald young guy, keep in mind it's full Howie Mandell skinhead not even a shadow. I don't want feel good answers I want the truth, and before you answer picture if one actually approached you and asked for your number or complimented you to gauge your true reaction on the spot. I appreciate honesty, thanks for your time.

This made me giggle. Not trying to sugarcoat or be rude either just honest. I think you're exaggerating lol. You'll be fine. There's guys out there at any age that purposely shave their hair off (skinhead and all) for the sake of their own preference. Heck, there's women that do this too for the sake of fashion lol.

I don't want to put others down either but it's not like you're permanently mutilated on your face or something. Did you recently shave it completely? Maybe you're just self cautious because you're not used to it. I would suggest hats if you're that uncomfortable but that wouldn't help either because imagine meeting new people with a hat on then out of no where taking it off and looking completely different To them. Rather walk around 100% confident owning the shit out of your baldness lol.
It's not a dealbreaker though. Your very young to be beating yourself up over stuff like this. Life will gladly kick you in the balls with much more dramatic experiences so just embrace it.

If any chick has a problem with this, attractive or not, that's ridiculous and immature. A worthy woman will not care.
Ok sorry rant over.
Cheers xxx

For me, it would depend on how it works with everything else. I prefer dark hair over blondes and I like my pretty boys, but besides that, I don't really have a "type"

Like a beard. I am not a fan of beards all of the time, but some guys just have the face or it. With being bald, some guys just have the right head shape and face to work it no problem.

That being said, appearance isn't everything. If you rock it with confidence, you'll pull it off no matter what.

I personally am not usually into it because I tend to be attracted to men with a thick full head of hair, but that's just me. Some women actually like the bald look. If you pull it off and own your look, someone is bound to like it. I will say, it's better that you just shaved it off rather than left some hair there showing the obvious male balding pattern. Don't sweat it though.

Fuck what other people think and live your life man. My baldness is hereditary and I lost most of my hair at 21, so I kind of know how you feel. I just keep my head shaved to a 1, and honestly a lot of people say I pull it off well. By a lot of people of course I mean females, and not going to lie but I've had more success with this new hairdo. Might be because I also have a beard so it compliments it well, but it took me a few weeks to figure out the best look for my hair situation.

Some girls like to judge you on stupid dice rolls like if your genes let you keep your hair, or how tall you are as a result of your DNA. People who care about such meaningless things are not worth your time.

I remember when I was in HS I had long hair (for a guy) and it curled at the ends and the girl I was talking too really liked long hair. I told her I was going to shave it all off and she immediately said NO!. And that she doesn't find guys with a shaved head attractive. So, what did I do? I shaved my head. What did she do? She responded with, "Wow, never thought I'd say this, but you don't look half bad with a shaved head. I kinda like it." As she had a little cute smile on her face and leaned in to kiss me.

For me its all about personality I've never cared about guys' hair unless its so disgusting and it stinks or its bazare lol but i care about how he treats me, and i think baldness is sexy it shows of your neck and facial structure, if you're confident its an added bonus! Dont be insecure strut your stuff!

I think bald is totally okay as long as you have the head for it. My dad was quite as young as you but my dad went bald when he was 34ish and has never had a problem getting the ladies and my step dad has been bald for the most part since I knew him and my mom found him attractive. My mom started dating him when she was 26 and he is younger than her.

DaniJ · Answer

The guy I currently like started losing his hair at around 16. I met him when he was 28, (7 years older than me) and physically he looks more like he's in his 30s. That wouldn't be the type I'm normally attracted to, but I like him as a person, so the baldness as well as the thick glasses and scrawniness become endearing and attractive in their own way. (Someone actually asked us if I was his daughter once... He was pretty insecure about it, but I just think it's funny.)

I honestly don't find baldness that attractive but it really depends on the face that you have and your personality- seriously if you have an a m a z i n g personality you won't have problems find someone "pretty" for long. The only thing is that shouldn't be your attitude, every guy wants a "pretty" girl but doesn't it also matter what's inside? Seriously... In the end appearances fade- personalities stay the same. Keep in mind aside from that state of mind being shallow it doesn't really make much sense. But it is up to you whether you listen or not. PΣΛCΣ

I "think" I like men with longish hair but in truth, I have found it has no impact on who I find attractive. Their attitude and actions towards me and others play a grater role + do we have overlapping interests.

The man I keep daydreaming over has next to no hair and I used to think it would be a tern off. Instead I keep thinking of him and our late night conversations.

Hidden_P · Answer

For me, I love a full head of hair.
However, it's not a dealbreaker. I care more for personality, but there's a part where the sexiest thing is holding onto a man's hair.

BUT. My ex hated me touching his hair so I'm used to not touching at all. There's more to life than hair. And at least you have an excuse :)

vishna · Answer

Lol if baldness seriously repels people that's ridiculous. It's not a deal break, baldness can be sexy.

Jadewinterpea · Answer

Bald guys with the correct style can be really hot. For example surfers or skaters, but defienety not rappers.. Even if you dress up classily it can look good

Soren · Answer

Well, i answer because u didn't block guys from answering :D but i don't vote :D

When i was much younger (18 - 21) i shaved my head once a week :D
My reason was because i played soccer and i liked having diferent look and it was also much easier for me :)

BUT to answer ur question, it dépends on ur head shape and face, sometimes shaving, made u more attractive ! :)

And well, there is lots of girls up there who prefer a shaved guy :D

Good luck :p

If your personality is bigger than your scalp problem. Maybe.

CocoRachelle · Answer

Like you said, some men can pull off the look. There's a lot of very attractive men, celebrity and guys I know personally, that complete shave their head. None have asked me out (yet), but if we clicked, I would go out with them.

Kind of reminds me of this hilarious pic

AllieBallie123 · Answer

You're so fine! I have s guy in my class and he looses hair as well, but he grew the top layer out to cover the patchy layer, he said he'll eventually shave his head. Don't worry about it, it's quirky and not many people can pull it off, go you! Who cares if it's not normal or if you're pale, you rock it!

I met 2 young bald men before in my life. One was my own classmate. The other was a random undergraduate student. I thought they looked older than they really were. I didn't mind at all, though.

sweetsinner · Answer

It makes no difference to me. I've seen Unattractive guys with and without hair. but Johnny sins can definitely pull It off

arianna15 · Answer

I don't think it would be a problem, if u really loved the person then hair or no hair wouldn't matter, u love the person for who they are not for their hair

WhaChaChaKing · Answer

I honestly used to say I would never date a bald guy because I'm obsessed with head hair but recently I've managed to find some bald guys attractive so I'm not against it. It's not really a plus or anything though.

Coffinspire · Answer

Bald guys are sexy as hell, did you see the lead singer of disturbed? Hot! Military men are bald (I know it's shaved but some are bald)

LovelyyLaura · Answer

Appearance isn't everything , it shouldn't be a problem to most girls. I doesn't matter if you have hair or not.
