Bald men can be incrediably sexy, it has nothing to do with the hair loss, it has to with their attitude. Most of the men I date are either losing their hair or shave their heads, I would much rather that be the situation than the God awful comb-over or worse yet "plugs."

I have a lot of hair, so maybe it's just easy for me to say, but if someone's self esteem is tied to whether they have hair or not they have bigger issues.

For all the women here, and yes, this is just the women, who say "looks are not important", they lie. Looks are VERY important.

Hair doesn't make you smart or dumb, nice , or nasty. It's just hair. And if you are bald, be bald and be proud.

Late edit:

Cabindude is a great example. HE is comfortable with who he is, and the look works for him. If I was bald I would look like I had a pack of hot dogs on the back of my neck so shaving isn't a good option for me. This is a good tip, though. If you have a big fat head like me, don't shave it unless you WANT to look like a pro rassler.....

I always said, I'd shave my head before doing a comb-over. That's exactly what I did ....and it works for me. I did try the Rogaine thing to be perfectly honest. It wasn't for me. So basically if someones looking for a man with a full head of hair, they need not look my way. I have to say though that my looks are my preferance, I did it for me . Anyone else can either accept it or not.

Just shave it and stop worrying. I agree with all the women who say bald is sexy. I think shaving your head makes a statement of self confidence that is attractive to women or maybe we just like shiny things.

Be warned, hair loss is due to testosterone, which is why hair loss and body hair tend to go together. Products like Rogaine work by reducing your testosterone level. Not something I would choose.

Shaving your head makes your features more important. And you will notice things like a flabby face more on a shaved person. You're certainly going to look better if you keep in shape.

Despite that I think attractiveness is about being comfortable with yourself.

i started losing my hair at 35yr.old,and apart from being teased at work
from some of the guys i work with it's not a big deal.
judging from the ladies that are talking on here it doesn't seem
to matter to them.
so of course there are going to be some that wouldn't date a
guy without hair.but i think its probably someone that's
younger than the man anyways.

i agree with you about genetics.my father had a thick head of hair.
but by the time he was30yrs old he lost most of the hair on top.
but always had some on the sides.
so i'm not that much different from him.
i can grow it on the sides but not on top.
so i just shave it off.or really short.
either way it's no big deal.

I'm bald, but i have a ponytail. Hand a handlebar moustasche and sideburns.

Most of my ladyfriends hate my 'look'. They're always trying to get me to shave it all off. They think the 'whiskers' are scratchy.




I may have lost the hair on the top of my head, but the hair on the rest of my body should make up for that!

I read all the posts and looked at all the men who posted. The sexiest ones happen to be bald. So enough said.

The thing with Rogaine and products that inhibit hairloss is you have to start using them at first signs, not when you've already lost a lot of hair.
I don't mind bald men at all, but I wish a lot of men would stop shaving their heads. I like when hair is thinning or receding or whatever but not such a fan of the cloned "I am going bald so I will sport the cue ball". Some men wear it well, but not all.
I don't even mind balding heads with ponytails. If a guy has some nice face hair that makes up for it all, I'm a sucker for that.

Dane X. I said this once before on a forum.

When I was in my early thirties I lived in Salt Lake City. Tons and Tons of clean shaven short haired men! I was downtown one day and saw a man who was bald on top, nicely dressed, with a pony tail. He was the hottest thing I had seen in a llllong time! I couldn't resist and walked up to him and told him how much I loved his "do". He blushed and thanked me. He walked away just asmilin and whistling!

Not all like that look. Some of us do!

Maybe there is something in women's genes that makes this happen, but the older I get, the hotter I think bald men are - as long as they aren't attempting a combover - I say, if it's going - shave it all off baby

I read an article the other day that said it's usually men who are more concerned about hair loss than women. http://lavalife.com/magazine/feature.act;jsessionid=750DD8798D4D7DF383216EA40D69D391.127?pid=33727 Here's the article for your reading pleasure.

I used to be very hung up about my thinning hair. Then I started to feel that, "well groomed is well groomed", however, you do it. Diet and exercise, clothes that are well fitted, pressed and clean make it look like you care about your appearence. Whether or not you're good looking your attitiude will outshine your facade. Afterall, don't you want to be with someone that thinks something of themself - so, the person they choose will be of substance also? Which in this case would be you.

I don't worry about my hair loss. My hair (or lack thereof) is not who I am. There are much more important things to worry about.

Started to lose some hair at 20. But not bald even at 40. Then I decided to shave all off or keep it veeeery short. Love it. Wake up and go! No brush needed! And many women love it. Some do not. Tough!

Tried some stuff at 22-24. Not worth the trouble and smell and all that jazz. I was then I decided to start cutting my hair short but the shaved hair fashion has really made my life even better! Got rid of the barber too! First time I shaved my hair I could not recognise me! Now, I will not have it any other way except veeeeeeery short, the equivalent of a few days' beard on my head!

When I was young I heard a girl I liked say that she would never marry a bold guy. Well, she did. lol lol Bolder than me!!! lol lol (mine is shaved).

God...Hair...The final Frontier..
If I woke up one day with hair I would probably continue to shave it.
Life is so easy with no hair.
No combing
No Shampoo
Bad hair day??? What is that??? They are all bad..
If you are consience of you lack of hair others will be to.
You would be suprised how many woman love a bald head. They just want to touch it.
Let it go man.

Eh? The only thing I thought when I noticed my hair thinning was "better get a #1 cut". I hadn't realised it was a big deal, I mean you either go bald or grey & there's nowt you can do about it, you know? It's quite handy having a no-maintenance haircut anyway.

I must say, as if a bald guy is unattractive enough, I can't imagine how it is for a woman. I am Bi, so I would NEVER date a bald guy, or a bald women. I look down on that look. I'm sorry I just do and I mean one of the reasons I started dating other women has been because I noticed alot of guys were bald or wearing that ridiculous shaved look. I mean get real, how the heck is that appealing. Same goes for bald ladies, expect I would imagine to a great scale. So I would get toupees or a hair transplant and hope for the best!!

If the reason for your hairloss, is because of some serious desease, then thats different offcourse. But women pattern baldness or alopecia just like male pattern baldness, is no excuse for you to be bald like that.

Even though I like being bald, I'd be willing to get a toupee or hair transplant if you got implants, some lipo suction and a new face.
