Search Results: love at old age

So, this is a weird question that is in my head since quite a while now. I will be 23 on 29th of this month, and I never had a girlfriend, never had a female friend, and almost never even talked to a girl. I am not an incel, but this is because I grew up in a very conservative family, and so all these restrictions were cast on me.

So, recently I rented a small place and started living on my own. And because of this, I am now free to do whatever. However, I wanted to figure out my career for now. I suspect that I will be good to go in one year. After that, I will finally try to get a girlfriend. However, this is where my question starts.

If I start my love story at the age of 24, is it too late? What I mean is that our desire changes with time, for example, when I was a child, I liked toys, now I like anime, etc. Is this the same for love and sexual desire? When I reach the age of 30, for example, will I still care about love as much as a teenager do? Also about sex, for example, from my experience so far, I know for sure that a 18-23 year old guy love sex, does a 35 year old like sex as much as a 20 year old do? What about a 40 year old man? Does these desires go down with time? If yes, how much and when?

Thanks for reading all this. The reason I asked this is because I am really confused as to whether I should just get married to my a far relative of ours, which my parents and her parents are forcing to. (arrange marriage). Or should I try to find a girlfriend and do what I should have done when I was still a teenager? I would preferably want answers from guys, because I want to know their experience, but if a girl has a thoughtful answer, I would appreciate that too. 💕

I’m 27 years old and have never had a girlfriend. Due to a condition I have, I went bald at 23. The hair on the back of my head and sides grow normally, but the hair on top is too thin and barely grows. So going bald is the most cost-effective way for me to look presentable.

I don’t get as many dates/matches as my friends who have a full head of hair. When I go to speed dating events in person, women 10-15 years older usually choose me. I want to date a woman my age or younger.

One of my friend’s girlfriends told me that I should grow an afro. A friend of mine said that I need to get a hair transplant. The consensus is that women love hair. I understand that, but despite my condition, I love myself and don’t want to change. However, I want a girlfriend and eventually a wife, so I’m weighing my options.

I went to a barber and he was going to put me on a treatment plan where I’d have to come to his shop at night on a weekly basis and pay $1000/month. That’s outside my budget.

I’ve also looked into getting it done in Turkey for $3000. But I’d have to wait until next year. I need to save money and vacation days for that.

As I said before, I don’t want to change, however if this will lead me to finally getting a girlfriend, I’m willing to save up for it. When I was younger, I was too much of a nerd, reserved, and focused on school. Now I’m more sociable and ready, however I just keep getting rejected. Plenty of women want to be friends, but nothing more.

Any other men have their baldness get in the way of them dating? Did you get a hair transplant or no?
