joined the military at 16, never had the hair.
Because I still have the buzz cut, and occasionally the high and tight, it is the same hairline that I had in highschool. Indeed the reunion pic and the original annual pic were remarkably similar.

ps, I NEVER under stood the mullet.

Some blald men are HOT! Better bald than all those strange things men do to make us believe they have a lot more hair than they do.

I don't think it's the bald thing that is the problem; Hulk Hogan used to have plenty of female fans and he had a chrome dome up top. It's usually the rest of the body that becomes the problem when men get to the age when our hair is gone. Look at all the NBA stars with shaved heads; they all have plenty of women waiting for them after the games. So, it's not the hair line that's the problem.

Bald is good, much better than weird adolescent (or something) hairstyles.

Balding is harder, but not as bad as the aforementioned weirdness or heaven forbid, comb-overs and hairpieces.

I have no preference. You could look like Tom Selleck or Ed Harris and I be equally delighted!!!

Or just real -- with a sense of your own style. That works best of all!

A sexy, desirable man is so because of personality above all else. His hair, weight, age, income, etc., are all secondary. So, when a man complains that "women will [always] find [some reason] to be disgusted ... [and so] refuse to date you," the bottom line is they don't like you because of something to do with your personality, your character. Women all the time hook up with men who are, to say the least, imperfect when it comes to a multitude of issues. But if a woman likes a man, really likes him, it is due primarilly to his personality.


Not according to what I've been reading from most of the women on these forums. They will never get to the point where they can judge your personality because they are disgusted with so many physical aspects that they would never agree to meet you or even reply to your emails.

All I can tell is that for awhile now I have gained a certain talent of picking up the slightest of cool breezes. Fairly easily, I might add. Oh, and my toque collection is growing.

oh - sounds like you have had a few rejections. PtofFct, we have all been rejected!

We are single trying to find someone.

I bet you have rejected women too.

It goes both ways.

HOwever, we all have different things that 'turn us on' - so its a matter of finding that!

Keep plugging away...

No not at all. In fact I haven't contacted anyone yet. I wasn't sure whether I actually wanted to get into the dating game. But I needed a profile to get onto the forums. So I made a makeshift profile with one pic of me

After reading what the women were saying on here they pretty much made my mind up for me. So I took my profile down and put up some of my fave pics and a short message

"I'm a fat guy and apparently that makes me unsuitable for dating"

Since I did that yesterday I've had two women contact me. LOL Just to tell me that size doesn't matter. Yeah that's what they always say

I suppose I am talking about the real world. I did minimal 'dating' online. But, from reading the forums, it seems exceedingly true that everyone focuses first and foremost on appearance, in the sense that they reject people 'on sight' immediately because of appearance, even though photos can be very misleading. However, there have been times when I corresponded on here with other women my age, and these women often went out with men who were not physically perfect--men who were overweight or short or older than the woman, etc. When these women discussed dating such men, it was always first about personality and character as far as why they were unhappy with the man. Being physically imperfect was definitely secondary and would have been and was discounted if they liked his personality. (However, being obese/extremely overweight may be a very different thing.) I dated a couple of men who were quite overweight, but it would not have been all that important if I was strongly attracted to them because of personality, character and compatibility.

In the real world, I believe people/women are often attracted to someone who isn't their physical ideal because they are attracted to his personality. I met a man who was shorter than any man I'd ever been interested in. In the beginning, that was a turn off for me. But, as I got to know him, I was attracted to his personality and the height became irrelevant. This happens often in real life: overlooking physical issues. Women are more likely to do this than men. In online dating, people are often dismissed immediately based on a profile that lists age, size and height and has a picture.

Truth be told: if you are being rejected because of the way you look, isn't it reasonable to do something to make yourself more attractive to the opposite sex? Why should anyone just accept anyone when that person is making no effort to be attractive? Okay, if you are bald, you can't do anything about that. If you are short, you can't do anything about that. But, if you are overweight, you can do something about that. If you don't have a pretty/handsome face, you can't do anything about that. Truth is though, women will usually overlook the things you can't do anything about. One of the most physically desirable men I've ever dated was not at all good looking in the face, but he had a killer body and a very charming personality. He didn't need a pretty face to be attractive.

^^ That is so very true,Velma

In my 20's and 30's i was mainly attracted to fair skinned,tallish men with dark hair and eyes.They always caught my attention first.
Now,im in my late 40's and am in a relationship with the most amazing man and he's stocky and balding and the damned SEXIEST man ive ever known.....
His personality,strong character,honour,intelligence and wicked sense of humour is what reeled me in - nothing to do with his looks.
In fact,i never even notice his lack of hair?

Good for you if some women find you appealing, however, you're comparing apples with oranges. Unlike fat, men really can't do much about baldness.

As a folically challanged man...I just don't really care if a woman, I'm not attracted to, finds my hairline not to her taste...

I don't think it's common in our age group to find a woman that would reject a man for baldness---unless he has the dreaded aforementioned comb-over. I would reject an out-of-shape man because I'd view him as having a lifestyle conflict with mine.

I was bald when I went thru chemo....:P between that and the green tint I was quite appealing!

Bald can be sexy, so can hair...basically the hair doesn't make the man!

I would prefer a bald well trimmed man over one of those mountain men who never comb their hair they just put a hat on top of it and grow out a beard that looks like it has a will of it's own. Im kinda afraid when they take off the hat some kind of critter might pop out.

I am new to looking at the forums so i do not know how most women come off, I am interested in personality, not how a person looks. Like myself, many women our age will not make the first move so part of your problem is you have not approached anyone. If you are interested in someone, you need to make an effort.
