Posted: 7/9/2008 12:36:37 PM | Hopefully the next guy will be just as forgiving because you may have got a big bum, no bum, straggly hair and a fat nose, etc. I think the OP could hope that no guy ever notices any cellulite. Or that the guy who does so has more tact and respect than she displays in considering this question. | |

| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/9/2008 1:04:12 PM | I don't see any constructive purpose to telling a man he is balding. I'm sure he knows this already. If you don't like it, and it reeeeeally bothers you that much, he's not for you. I, personally, see nothing wrong with it. It's something I don't always notice, until it's pointed out.
But think of it this way... What if he seen a fault with you (too short/tall? too skinny/fat? other features out of proportion?)......would you want him to tell you? What purpose would it serve? We all have mirrors, and we are all our own worst critics. We know our faults, waaaay before anyone else notices them! lol

I don't see any constructive purpose to telling a man he is balding. I disagree ... if women had told me how good looking I was without my hat back in the days when I wouldn't EVER go anywhere without a hat on, I would have been so much more confident in my appearance.
BUT is has to be constructive advice (and granted the guys head has to be shaped right for it). You don't know how many times I got my feelings hurt because my hat suddenly came off and some woman would exclaim "OMG your bald!" Yeah, thanks I knew that! That's one of the nice things about getting older ... I just don't give a crap anymore, and guess what it shows and I am more confident about it. | |

haha.....

| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/9/2008 2:30:55 PM | Jeeez! Talk about mean! Is it ok to ever tell a girl that she makes blonde stereotypes seem true? Do you have any compassion and understanding? Have a heart. Please don't go thru life being shallow. I mean that in the most sincere way. It won't do you any good. I garauntee it!
This is so ridiculous! The guy isn't even bald! He's balding a little due to a hairline receding. Your not being nice at all and you may be a victim of your own vanity. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh but you should not seem so shallow. Guys are VERY SELF-CONSCIENCE about receding hair or balding. BELIEVE ME HE KNOWS! No need to tell him. I'm sure you have faults that you know, you want him to bring them up?
Well you can always stick with the top model hot guys that have all the hotties knocking at their door and 85% are players that will break your ho t. BUT take note, even some of them have receding hairlines and the steroids they shoot in their buts isn't helping the hairline.
leave it be..........when you get fat and old...........which you will...i don't think he'll try to bring it up to your attention....... -Antonio

| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/9/2008 2:32:39 PM | OP, please, Please, PLEASE think with me a moment. Let's analyze the situation together.
1. The guy has a receding hair line. 2. It deflates his self-esteem. 3. It reduces his attractiveness in your eyes.
Now your solution is to tell him that he's bald? Excuse me, but what? That's like tossing a cash register at a drowning man and saying, "Here, catch this!"
Why do you want to hurt the guy so much? | |

| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/9/2008 2:43:29 PM | One more thing...
I've done my research on getting hair transplant (I think that's what your hinting you want him to do which is why you want to tell him you don't like his receding hairline).
For $3000 (a cheapo sale job) you can have some doctor give you a cheap "plugs" job that looks ugly and he will probably F it up. It's ugly because you can see multiple hairs in one strand hole but it's cheaper. You can definitely tell it's a plugola and woman tend to think it looks disgusting.
Ok now, for $5000 you may be able to get a decent job if your lucky but finds a good doctor. And if you are lucky, he won't screw it up and make your head look worse.
For $8000 you can have a disgusting surgery where they peel the skin off your skull and insert a balloon in between in order to place the hair in from the back of your head to the front. I've seen the surgery done and not only is it nasty and bloody but it can get messed.
Always a chance for mess ups. Then you have to pay thousands more to get that fixed by another doctor!
You said the guy is "extremely hot" already so what's the biggie about 1 fault. If he gets the surgery done for you, and it comes out much worse because its messed up (which DOES happen) are you going to dump him? Are you going to be there for him if complications arise? | |

| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/9/2008 2:45:19 PM | | don't mention it. do the better approach and everytime you see him in a hat compliment him on how sexy he looks in it and how much you like it. | |

Hi, I was just wondering if it is ever ok to mention to a guy that his receding hair line, which is quite obviously causing him self-esteem problems, bothers you as well?
That depends. Would you think it's okay for a guy to tell you you're too fat if it bothered him? Personally, I prefer to honestly break up than to carry on with a sham. If it bothers you that much, just tell him and break up with him. Otherwise, no good would come from saying anything. | |

| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/9/2008 6:50:49 PM | I worked with a guy once who was even balder then, than I am now. He was also a bit overweight. But strewth. He was going out with the most pretty, slim sheila you ever saw, and she drove a little red sports car. So not all beautiful people feel so shallow that they need to go out with other beautiful people to be complete or something. Most men have been growing bald for many thousands of years. I believe that the reason why monks have those silly haircuts was because once a senior monk was walking along outside for the first time in 10 years and a pretty wench saw him and laughed at his growing bald spot. Not having seen it before himself as there are no mirrors in the monastry, he was very upset. He runs back in to find some novice monks who for some reason start giggling at him. He is furious Looking at the novices and their lovely natural long luxuriant hair, he felt envious and decided to even the score. He takes hold of the young men and savagely cuts their hair off in a circle around the crown. "now you look like me"
And that folks is why all monks have to shave their crowns, so the older ones dont feel envious

| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/9/2008 8:35:43 PM | Of all the things in my life I have control over, the amount of hair I STILL have is not one of them.
And further more, of all the things I have to worry about, this is at the bottom of my list, if it is on my list at all.
Trying to hide it, by a ball cap/hat, or a comb over makes things even worse.
I have been shaving my head for a while now, and love it, and stay away from profiles from women who require a full head of thick hair, or even facial hair. ( why bother )
We all have preferences, aim for those, and don't ask anyone to change for you.
And, as a side note, say a prayer that you do not get sick and lose yours, for then, and only then will you discover how helpless you are, to how others will treat you, on how they wish\think you should look.
Better yet, shave your head and see the reaction, what do you have to lose, after all, yours will grow back. ( In time ) | |

|
| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/10/2008 1:58:13 AM | | I knew a guy that did this, I was like "dude shave your head, no hair is better than umm slightly more hair?" A comb over isn't sexy. | |
