..It's almost like going from a hot 24 year old to a not-so-hot 44 year old. ...
and they say MEN are shallow? lol...
Put it another way:
How would YOU feel if, when he saw you getting out of the shower, he said to you:
OMG look at the cottage cheese on your thighs!!!!! or If your boobs sag any more you'll need to start wearing a bigger belt!!! or If your a$$ gets any bigger you're going to need one of those back up beepers!!! or Do you get your thongs made by omar the tentmaker? or (and this is the best) Yes, your a$$ DOES look fat in those jeans...... | |

If you need help with this, hang out with kids. Kids are brutally honest. After the 30th time they've asked you why you're missing hair in random places, not only will it not bother you but you'll start to laugh at it. Plus, since their questions are innocent curiosity rather than anything intentionally hurtful, you can't really be mad at them.
Also, the devilock is the only acceptable form of a comb over. Just ask Jerry Only. | |

But like I said: if the op's partner noticed her thunder thighs and said something about it she'd probably go ballistic..... | |

Calling him out on it is pointless, there is nothing he can do about it, its just plain rude and hurtful to say anything at all about it unless you genuinely find it cute and a turn on in some way. | |

| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/11/2008 5:46:50 PM | Why do you need to say when you see? Further if you see that it is causing him esteem problem perhaps he is too fragile and will take himself too seriously, therby making him unfun and making you nervose to be around him?
Or perhaps this problem is yours? Maybe he doesn't care if you don't mention it? | |

| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/11/2008 9:06:56 PM | | Seek solutions like hair treatments IF he brings it up. Question, if the balding/receding remains, would you with him? No need to publicly answer, your honesty will map your course. | |

NO ! ....keep it a secret , what he doesn't know can't hurt him. Just run your fingers over his bald head as if you are running them through a thick shiny head of hair. | |

| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/11/2008 10:32:01 PM | Sure eyes azure sky, not at all go ahead knock yourself out. ;)
Though in my case it started off as a choice when I was 25 and the look stuck! But seriously, I never get the guys that hang on to the "horse shoe". If you don't have unusual lumps or scars on your head go full baldie and get yourself a Harley, now all of a sudden the girls will love you again. *grin*

and they say MEN are shallow? lol... Psychological projection affects many people, including WOMEN! :)

| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/12/2008 8:01:47 AM | I don't think anyone NEEDS to be told they are balding, but many people need to be told their attempts to cover it up are stupid and aren't fooling anyone.
I don't think a casual acquaintance should do so, but if you have a good friend who seems to be hanging on to that small patch long after the war was lost, someone needs to clue him in. Some men really just don't realize how stupid it looks to do the comb over, or wears hats all the time to hide their thinning hair.
Some men think most women don't like balding guys. I think most women don't like insecure men. It's not the same issue. | |

| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/12/2008 9:33:44 AM | Poster, perhaps the fact that you mentioned it(on POF)is an indictator that it may bother you more than it bothers him that he is bald?????
As for bald men...they are gorgeous!! Men with hair too!! | |
|
| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/12/2008 9:47:21 AM | Sure...tell him because he never noticed. I like to tell fat chicks they're fat too because they all think they're not.
Of course I'm kidding. Move on love. His hair line isn't getting any better and it obviously bothers you. Be honest with yourself and find Chubakka. | |

| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/12/2008 9:55:41 AM | | What ....if he hasn't got a mirror in the house to know himself? Some guys really suit having no hair, and they look really sexy. All depends on their features. | |

| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/12/2008 10:06:35 AM | I don't mind dating a bald guy,but I kinda think it is rediculous to hide his baldness by wearing toupe and comb it over. If he does not mind my few laugh liness and lightwrinkle near my eyes, I won't mind his bald head and his beer belly...  | |

| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/12/2008 4:06:50 PM | According to the Good Book: 2 Kings 2:23-24 (KJV)... nope.
2:23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, "Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.!"
2:24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tare [lacerated] forty and two children of them.
And there you have it. Apparently, the good Lord is prone to sending in the bears to commit mass maulings in retribution for dissing the bald.
If I were the OP, I'd tread very carefully... and carry a big bear-beating * stick.
*Disclaimer: No need to alert PETA: no actual bears were harmed in the production of this post | |

Isaiah 1:16 Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
Not sure what this really means ... but I like it! | |

| Is it ever ok to tell a guy he is bald? Posted: 7/12/2008 7:52:47 PM | | In my perspective, I think if a man is loosing hair he probably already knows it. I would consider that as rude. It would be the equivalent of telling someone they are gaining weight. Obviously if someone is getting fat, they probably know. So, it kind of falls into the same category: "If you don't have something nice to say, you probably shouldn't say anything at all"... | |
