| Why don't men and women -- by and large -- like male-pattern baldness?
Posted: 7/29/2009 6:55:29 AM | Hey, chipsss, thanks for your input on this discussion.
I want to comment on the following thing you said because it pertains to the nature of this topic:
There are all kind of tricks you can use to make receeding hair look good as well
By which you are inferring that receeding hair doesn't look good, right? And that brings me back to my original question, which is basically why doesn't receeding hair -- by and large -- look good? Why don't men and women like it?
That's what I have been trying to get to the bottom of thoughout all these threads.
So thank you, thank you, thank you for making that comment.

Posted: 7/29/2009 8:27:32 AM | I grew up knowing that most men will end up being bald, and really, I dont care one way or the other. I am drawn to eyes and smile and have been very attracted to both men with hair and without. Is more about the whole package, being comfy in your own skin and confident in what you bring to the table called life.
I feel for anyone going thru hair loss, I know Id be pretty upset if mine was falling out...but men, please know-there are lots of women who really dont care so long as you are not growing it like Donald Trump to hide it. That is one hairdo I could never accept...no matter how rich he is. lol When the wind catches those, and that antenna of rock hard hair stands up, it is way too comical. Keep it trimmed and clean and dont worry...many women will still date you. | |

I personally find bald men very attractive. ..........look younger then those who try to hang on to what is left of their hair. Also, the dreadful, to me, balding man with the stringy little ponytail. Naaaah. Just too silly.
Guess I'm not the one to be asking.....because I have absolutely no problem with it. Last 3 men I've been in relationships with are balding ..... but they are balding gracefully......And if a man can still carry himself w/ dignity ( which means no combover.....).....he'll attract my eye.
Exactly. And to the men who worry about their thinning hair. Get over it and Stop Watching TV ads! Successful Ad men must first create a market for a product and then find suckers to fill it. The only winners? The Ad men.
Be confident and postive about your appearance and you will be attractive and sexy.
Namaste,
Ginny

Posted: 8/2/2009 5:21:40 PM | | I have no problem with bald men. I often find bald guys attractive. Like some of the other replies I read-I do not like comb overs, obvious plugs, toupees...those are just sad. It's probably better for those guys to accept that they are balding-rather then to try and fight it and look silly (and waste $). I think that years ago-it was considered that only old men or bad asses (hard core bike/gang members, prison inmates, white sepremacists/AKA "skin heads') were bald. But now I think that most of us now realize that some guys go bald earlier in life, and they can still be normal/main stream/good guys. | |

Posted: 8/5/2009 3:10:39 PM | | I think it is all a preference to a person as to their likes or dislikes. Same as a man who are hairy or one who is not. Dont change yourself to please others, if you change do it for yourself and your own self esteem. Personally I love bald men, a nice smooth head mmmmmm..... But I love guys with hair too dont get me wrong. I can't say I love one more than the other. It is the individual themself... | |

Posted: 8/5/2009 3:30:29 PM | Don't be a wuss... shave it.
What *I* have found interesting are the assumptions some people make regrading men with either shaved or bald heads (yes there's a difference). A lot of people I run assume that I like UFC, have a couple of tattoos, love 4x4's, hard rock, working out, having been in the military... funny thing is I DO actually like UFC, I DO own a nice shiny Lariat, work out daily and have been in the military. Oh and yes I do have bands such as Black Label Society on my iPod for when I hit the gym and a couple of tattoos that are well hidden when I need them to be.
What they never assume is the the fact I hold two graduate degrees, love art, travel, fine wines, the occassional imported cigar, Sushi, language, culture, theater, flying small single engine planes, and so forth. They're often quite surprised when they find these things out.
So yes, I do believe for a lot of people there is a stigma - perhaps stereotype is a better word - attached to having a shaved head.
Another interesting point that someone else has mentioned is the levels of testosterone in men with MPB.
My sex drive is considerably higher than those of my friends who have full heads of hair. To add, I have a couple of friends who do have MPB and when we've talked I've found their sex drive is as high as mine. | |

Posted: 8/5/2009 6:51:10 PM | I appreciate all the feedback to this post -- but again, people, this thread is not about a shaved head!
This is a thread about men who have male-pattern baldness (which is hair on the back and sides but a chrome-dome on top).
I don't know how much clearer I have to say this. Yet people are constantly saying, "Oh, I like the shaved head look." Aargh!
Many people with male-pattern baldness will shave their remaining hair to display complete baldness, which they end up doing because they don't like the look of male-pattern baldness. This is what I'm trying to get to the bottom of. Why don't men (and women) -- by and large (i.e., not all) -- like this male-pattern baldness look?
Why do they shave their remaining hair off? Or why do they do a comb-over? Anything but leave it? What is so wrong with male-pattern baldness?
Do I now make myself clear?!

Posted: 8/5/2009 7:20:37 PM | Most men who shave their head do so because they have male pattern baldness.

I have never met a woman who had a problem with MPB. Then again I only date woman who have IQ's in the triple digits. The women I date are smart enough to know that MPB is not a sign of "bad genes." I have never met someone who wouldn’t date a man because they have MPB.
Most of the time, I suspect , as a matter of opinion, it’s not so much the MPB that they have a problem with, it’s how he handles it.

Posted: 8/6/2009 10:30:27 AM | I've never really cared about pattern-baldness, since it's in fact so common that it's almost normative in men. My own hair has been slightly thinning in the front, and of course I hate that. Nothing can really be done about bad genes, though.
I don't consider pattern-baldness a turn-off in other guys. I guess it comes down to being such a common thing that I've learned to overlook it. Some guys will opt to keep their heads shaven when they feel the pattern becomes unsightly, so that works quite well if your hair is no longer manageable. Frankly, the "skinhead" look is pretty attractive on guys with an atheletic build. (look at Bruce Willis!) | |

Posted: 8/24/2009 1:44:30 PM | Oh God which Thread should I go in?!
I mean I am bald by choice (most days when the hormones are all working at full steam) and have a preference for keeping mine so smooth not even a fly can land, assuming of course they haven´t been blinded by the light.
But....
Since Radiotherapy and surgery two years ago the top is how shall I put this....
Well its getting sooooo much easier to shave with less hair up there to clog the razor!
So even though I am now
a) balding by nature
b)have a great big scar going from left forehead to right ear from the surgery
c)Naturally blonde[hard to tell from the photos I know, but look at the eyebrows folks]
d) My hormones are all messed up thanks to my tumour
Which Handicap is the worst?
Oddly most at work pick the Blonde thing believe it or not. Nobody takes a blonde guy serious!
Oh and for the ones that don´t like the bald thing, thats cool, I never did it really for anyone else but my own enjoyment and trust me when its pouring rain or the wind is howling and you have a freshly shaved scalp[preferably done by or with she who must be obeyed] and your out walking nothing can beat that feeling!!
As for what people like and why? I have really never focussed on it too much, different strokes for different folks
Personally I am attracted to wit, charm, banter, intelligence, a zest for life, knowing life has its ups and downs, and someone who has lived as long as I have who has their regrets, their triumphs and their sadness, but given it all over, would do everything pretty much the same! My only turn off is smoking. Other than that its all packaging, its the person that counts, not the package they are in.
Oh people also say I am weird, so don´t read too much into what I say either lol

Posted: 8/24/2009 2:17:23 PM | Shave your head!
I started losing my hair before I was 21. But just shave your head, it's easy, feels great, and the maintenance on it is super easy. Wake up in the morning, it's perfect. Shampoo? Who needs it. Clogged shower drains? Not from me.
Any woman who is so shallow she gets hung up on hair is a waste of time. Who cares what she thinks. | |
