My BF has the shaved/stubble look, which is my favorite - really hot!

I don't mind a man going bald, but I don't like a comb over. I figure shave it and flaunt it.

I have no time for people that judge you by how much or little hair you have and I don't care that I am losing my hair. If hair is a deal breaker for someone, then consider it a broken deal.

Wasting time worrying about what someone else thinks about your looks and getting depressed over it, really is sad.

O/P quote.......You see a man with male-pattern baldness either do the comb-over or shave it off completely. And you hear on this forum how -- by and large -- women say that if a guy has male-pattern baldness to shave it off.

I started loosing my hair in my late 20s.. I shaved it off because why try to be someone you are not. And there are more men than Sean that leave MPB alone,far sexier men like Jason Statham.

I shaved because it was easier than trying to keep some of my hair and I now know alot of women,not all....women.. love a shaved head. Kojack was the first. Vin Diesel made it seriously cool to be big muscled and shaved.

"Men, how about doing something creative with your male-pattern baldness?! Go to a stylist and say, "I want something different, something creative, something out of the ordinary."

The problem is you will still be bald...
If your in your 20s, sure going bald makes you look older...once you in your 30s all it does is make you look your age. I have really thick hair, both grandfathers died with crazy heads of hair...baldness has never been a concern of mine. Maybe to younger girls it makes me look like I'm younger than I am, to anyone I would actually date age wise though I doubt it matters..A woman above 27 or so who wouldn't date a balding guy is having problems coming to grips that their ass doesn't look like it did when they were 18 and their face is starting to feel the effect of time no matter how much makeup they put on. Probly someone you wouldn't want to date anyway if something so trivial matters so much.

It's pretty obvious, because it's unattractive, and any woman that is honest would know that guys who are bald/balding/shaved are a huge turn-off. I would never date an unattractive person like that!!

Fertility-it's all about how fertile and healthy a male looks to a female. For the female it's an unconscious thing-they laugh at and reject bald headed man...but probably don't know the history of it. Think about it-many older men (seniors) go bald. How many senior men's sperm is as healthy as a 25 year old man?

We may not agree with her but Mothernature has her wisdom.

I mean this goes for bald men and bald women. It's a BIG BIG no no!!!! I mean bald guys are iik enough, but I just hope that a bald lady won't get desperate as bald people ussually are, and ask me out. I mean bald men and women need to know that I only date good looking people, as in men and women in my level.

I love my baldness but I agree that someone would have to be desparate to ask you out.

^^ All I will say hun, if we took a poll on how many ladies would REALLY date a bald guy or a shaved headed guy.. the results would be 0%. Zero percent. Not even one of us who is truly honest with themselves would say yes.

So instead of REALLY dating a bald guy, would it be "pretend" dating instead?

Honestly, until I started reading these (strangely addictive) forums, I had no idea that I was supposed to have strong preferences for whether or not a man has hair on his head, his face or his pubic area.... If I am attracted, none of it matters. I have dated all bald/hairy combinations. Well groomed is important; obsessive is not. And I hate the feel of stubble--wherever it may appear.....

I would date a bald guy or a guy with a shaved head. Matter of fact, I love bald men.

Have you ever stopped to think why you like men with male-pattern baldness? You seem to be the first person who has loved it. At best, it seems like women don't mind it.

I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.

Thanks.

Hmmm...to me, hair or the lack of it really means nothing. BUT...show me a guy who is balding and still confident and secure about himself and I'll show you one sexy man. Heck, some men I even imagine bald and find them instantly more sexy.

Um...because it's something I like. I'd be curious to know why you have to over analyze something.

Because it's a chat forum, and my curiosity pertains to the topic at hand, that's why. This thread is about male-pattern baldness, and it's geared to finding out about it.

I'm sorry if you took offense.

I have only been with one bald man and it was very dissapointing when I went to rub his head. I didn't like the feel at all.

He was very handsome too but it was just a huge turn off.

What really grates on my nerves are these men with a head full of hair who shave it off to have that bald look. UGH!

When I was young we called bald guys Penis heads. Guess it just never left my thought process....I C a bald dude and think...penis head.

But I am sure many guys look at the junk I got in my trunk and call me a fat azz so, to each his own I guess.

So I'll repeat. It's something I like. Just like I won't date guys with blue eyes. That's something I don't like. We like what we like. No need to over analyze. Sorry if YOU took offense at the fact that I like what I like.

Some of these comments crack me up. Sorry people, but there are a lot of women who are not superficial and don't care what type hair or lack thereof a man has. There are many women that actually find it a turn on.

This should be obvious when you look at celebrities past and present that have made top ten and top hundred lists of sexiest men. Eg Yul Brenner, Patrick Stewart...

I think most women really don't make an issue of it and many women actually love it. it's the few that have a real issue with it at all, they would be the minority. Now men on the other hand seem to be more concerned about their own hair loss than women are about that same man. This comes from all the hair loss advertising and such, just like all the ads for what women are supposed to look like, People that buy into this stuff really need help IMHO.

I don't think it is really that big an issue. I suspect that a variety of men's hair styles will attract a variety of women. I lost my hair early. It never really bothered me much; I really wouldn't want my hair back if I could wave a magic wand.
This is who I am.

I prefer women with long hair just because. If they don't have it I am sure they are still nice attractive people. It is just something that I like. Same thing with what hairstyles women like.

I am not going to change who I am and start wearing a rug just to attract other women. Though a comb over...hmmmm that could get the ladies hot.

^^Funny. I'm bald and it has not affected my atractiveness that I know of. got a friend who's a black guy ,like me middle aged and balding, but get this, he's trying to do a comb over!! I tease him mercilessly about it," Man you CANNOT do a comb over with an AFRO dude!! Just let it SHINE!!" Confidence is sexier than hair, anyday.

Going bald occurs from Dehydrotestosterone which is a by product of testosterone, which serves no purpose but happens to cause hair loss.

Sometimes a shaved head is the style of choice for men with a full head of hair, such as one of David Beckhams many hair cuts. If you look at Vin diesel close you will notice that he grows a full head of hair. There are all kind of tricks you can use to make receeding hair look good as well, such as blonde highlights (the musician Sting does this) which make less of a contrast between dark hair and the skin, as well as having the hair come forwards. It's more about proportion rather than actually having hair there are some hair cuts I would rather be bald than have. You might not want a thick beard style with a bald head.

Do links work? lets see

I know alot of gals who love bald headed men, almost an obsession with them, so I think your 0% is not quite right. I have an ex who was the 'Friar Tuck' sorta bald and I have alot of guy friends who shave their heads routinely. One friend in particular has a head of hair like a sheep has wool and he says he gets too hot, so off the hair comes. When it starts to grow out, his wife asks him to shave it as she does not care for the stubble.

I have never gone out with a guy who was completely bald, but not for the shallowness of not wanting to go out with a bald man, it is just the situation has never presented itself. To me, rejecting a person due to hair or no hair on his noggin is as superficial as rejecting someone as a potential partner (or date) due to their eye colour or if they wear glasses VS contacts or if they have a beard or clean shaven.
