I did a search on this, but I don't think they touched specifically on senario that I'm thinking about.

My question is, for men who are balding, half-way balding, or what-not....I found some people say, since apparently hair loss IS managable....that something CAN be done about it...that it's their fault for not doing any about it (ie - take basic pills for DHT reducers), and their reason for not attracting most women.

I personally thought that those pills or "rogaine" were the equivalent to "Snake oil", but , apparently now, I'm finding out AFTER that I'm already half-way bald, that DHT Reducers actually WORK. I thought it was a line a BS, but apparently I COULD be wrong...but that time has come and gone I guess.

But would have, could have , should have...anyhow, I was wondering about the "balding" men here....do you have a belief system of.

"She can like me for me, or nothing at all"

or

"I better start taking rogain to attract women"?

BALD IS BEAUTIFUL TOO!!! Bruce Willis is HOTTT!!!

The world is getting to be a bad place when a man is fretting over his hair and the thought of possibly being less desirable for the lack there of... Do what you feel comfortable doing ... Do it for you not to impress others... I think its more a mental thing for men than physical thing... It's whats inside that counts... I would Date a Chrome Dome over Trump any time~~~ A person should like you for you regardless of how you wear your hair whether you have it or don't.... I know I ain't a man but from a female standpoint... Don't stress over it... If she's only after you because you got hair I would be concerned about her well being... lol...

I'm no one to talk cuz fortunatley I have a full head of hair. However, I'm compelled to say I see beautiful ladies every single day with bald or balding men. I haven't seen any eveidence that a full crop on top is anymore or less a measure of success. Moreover, many of these unions have produced offspring leading me to believe that if yer not successful in the dating game... it's probably not yer lack of hair.

You could spend all that money on Rogaine and your time fretting about hair loss and whether the Rogaine is working, but the money and time might be better spent on a $5 shave and a night on the town with me.

Bald is hot. Hair is hot. Worrying about whether or not you have hair... not hot.

I'm young and balding. I like who I see in the mirror every day.

To answer your question. I think that for a guy, his hair is compatible to a girl and here boobs. I think that girls look at a guy with no hair on his head like guys look at a girl who is flat chested. Some people are attracted to it and some aren't. If you want to be beautiful and have the opposite sex's attention, get a boob job or a hair transplant. If your happy with who you are, I'm sure there will be people who will be happy with you too.
The truth is that girls would rather have a guy with hair and guys would rather have a girl with bigger boobs. My 2 cents...

I agree with most of you about bald/shaved head could be hot as well. However, not all of man could be good looking with it, it also depends on shape of his face, long, round...etc
I truly think spending effort on preventing your hair loss is worth it. Just maintain yourself, and nothing is wrong with that. Just like a woman spend effort to keep her boob not saggy
However, please be confident in the mean while, most of women could overcome any obstacle to get close to her man, even though he's balding or bald already. Confidence = sexy in my book.

Lets see..."Solar Sex Panel"
"I don't waiste my hormones on hair"
"More face to kiss"...

I could go on...just remember, unlike men who are hung up on "boobs"...we are not, may I repeat myself?...WE ARE NOT HUNG UP ON HAIR! There may be a few...but believe me...they are few. The rest of us are looking for something else, and hair ain't "on top" of the list.

Read this One More Time: WOMEN DON'T CARE! ...Real women, that is...there' s so much more to consider.

Thank you for the input. But what I'm trying to figure out is, it seems if you compare balding to "not working out"

People are thinking "Well, the dork doesn't want to do anything about his appearance, no wonder he's not attractive"

Apparently, "If something can be done about it, you're a fool if you haven't done anything about it."

But I consider anything that happens to you GENETICALLY, should be left alone and not altered, except of course of shaving it all off. :-)

Know what I'm saying?

Like women who make their boobs bigger, I find they are typically more shallow, same with the whole Rogaine thing. People concerned that much with their OWN looks are also just as concerned with other's looks, right?

Also, I could be wrong on this, but I heard some people can look BAD with their head shaven, depending on the shape of their head. Might wind up lookin' like E.T. or somethin. Or one of those aliens that people who were apparently abducted, describes.

I don't worry about it myself. I've known since I was little that I was destined to become 'follicly challenged'

In fact, it's now officially a disease! Called "hair follicle atrophy syndrome" (maybe I should try for benefits?)

I love it! Feels good. Especially after a nice shower and then lay donw on clean sheets!

I have never looked into 'remedies' myself cause I could give a hoot. If you're really self conscious and on a budget, try

A COMB OVER!!!

just my 2 cents,

but I look at that as me refusing to marry a woman just because she has a set of C cups instead of D.
But I don't like the side effects of a lot of the medications out there. But if she is the right one, I would probally try it for her. Depending on the side effects.

My ex of 14 years was bald. When we split he was upset to find that most people assumed by my looks that I was 10 years younger than I actually am and his response was "great they think you are in your 2os and will think I'm in my 40s because I'm bald".

My response to you is the same as it was to him. It's aLOT more to do with attitude than hair!

Finding someone that everything "clicks with" is hard enough without adding assumptions. If someone is in it for the long haul, as I'm sure we all would hope a partner is, then things are going to change over the years as far as our looks and one would hope that the person they fall for would love them as thoroughly as they do them. It doesn't work out that way in every case obviously but that does NOT mean that isn't out there! I have met numerous people who care more about the "appearance, etc" but the bottom line is it's a matter of mutual attraction AND MORE!!!

Heck I met a man the other day for coffee who I found very attractive. We had a great conversation, laughed and I really thought he was sexy however for whatever reasons he has and despite the fact he contact me on this site AND flirted with me on the one other site I'm on as well, he has yet to call and follow through and sending an email opening the door to that is fruitless. It's just how it is. ALOT of people flake out and if they do then the bottom line is, they are not the right person for you!!! Obviously you wouldn't want that in your life anyway and if they wanted to take the chance on something real they'd follow through!!!

It's not about the hair.

Forget the Rogain.

If you think logically and have a looksy about when you are out next in town there are far more men without hair than with and many shave it off or grade 1 it as it is easier.

So forget the pills and pumping your body with chemical rubbish

Just grade 1 it and forget about it.

People have to like you for you and if they don't then they are not worth being with.

I am abit of a lump although a kinda cute one but a lump just the same and it is in my profile that a guy must like larger ladies as thats what I am.

But at the end of the day it is a persons face you see and like and are attracted too and if like many of us ladies we quite prefer less hair as to see men with a full head of hair now is kinda less common and seems abit odd in a way.

Just be you and when you meet the right person they will love you for you and you is with little hair, and losing it and shortly to grade 1 shave it off!

Take care and have fun getting used to those hair clippers, you always miss abit to start with

If your ok with your hair or lack thereof, then don't change anything. If a woman is that vane kick her to the curb. I know physical attraction is what first captures us, however, a lack of hair or a few wrinkles are a natural part of getting passed our 20's and if someone is honestly looking for a relationship it should have no bearing. and I agree with most on here "Bald is so hot it hurts"

"She can like me for me, or nothing at all"
thats it right there.
There is soo much more to a good man than his hair.If a woman can`t see that then it`s her loss.

I think if your losing your hair... lose it and be who you are... not some mullet of the marketing companies rubbing all kinds of snake oil and drugs on your head, injesting things... all things that may have complications.
There are many guys who lost their hair and still hot.... and some guys who still have their hair and never were hot and never will be.
All you can do is be who you are and your hair as very little to do with that.
