Ladies, how big of a turn off is a receding hairline on a guy?

Confidence and a good razor can overcome any of those issues.

I've posted about this on the forums before but never as a dedicated topic. Problem is I'm 24, single most of my life, and with a pretty bad receding hairline that is a huge shot to my confidence when it comes to dating and asking girls out. It's currently not noticeable with my short hair and bangs but I'm sure it will only get worse from here.

 

Whenever you ask girls about it (and really I've only seen it asked online) you always get the typical answers "confidence matters, not your hair" or "just shave it" etc. but I can't help but feel a lot of them say these things to just make the guy feel better. Ladies, please, looking for some HONEST opinions on whether you're put off by a guy in his 20's with a receding hairline.

 

What age of woman are you trying to attract?

 

I'm 55, so I expect for men I'm interested in to have a receding hairline, if not bald.

 

A woman who is younger than 24 may be put off by it, but then again, she may not be. I think that the personality, confidence, wit and charm can go a really long way to win over a woman who is not put off by superficial things.

Chris- I too was curious about this topic and created a thread about it on this site. & from what I have gathered from the opinions of others is- hair is only important in the looks department to a handful of women. When I created the thread I was trying to find out if I am one of the only woman who is attracted to men with receding hairlines and was surprised to find out that lots of women don't care if you have hair or not. My husband has a receding hairline- over the years the corners of his forehead keep moving back and he has full thick hair on the top & back of his head. He combs his hair back and does not try to hide his forehead. I think it looks good. I honestly think that if he were to ever get hair plugs or anything like that it would not make him look better to me because I like his hairline! His hair sort of resembles Jude Laws. My honest opinion- I actually PREFER a receding hairline on a guy- I think it looks masculine & sexy.

---You said you are in shape & work out to keep healthy & fit so you have that going for you. Don't stress about your hair!! Just try to meet women who will adore you for you. If a woman rejects you for the hairline reason alone she/ they are shallow anyways! I do not think something like your hairline will prevent you from meeting someone amazing unless you let it.

Look, receding hairlines aren't sexy to me but depending on the guy and the rest of him, it wouldn't necessarily be a deal breaker for me.
