Gaeta Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I love shaved heads. In fact I have only dated shaved heads in these past years. The man I am currently dating doesn't shave his head and it's just a matter of time before I suggest he shaves it off. 1
TheArtist Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Speaking as someone who has recently become a little smoother at the top, I think it's largely how you style what you have. I think women tend to go towards very close crops more often than the full Bruce Willis because it looks slightly less aggressive, but in general I've read that women really don't care about your hair as long as you're clean and keep what you have under control. Personality always wins over how shiny your head is. 2
nadzz Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I like hair. I likely won't check out a guy who is bald naturally or by choice.
ASG Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I like hair, but have dated many a bald/shaved guy and have no issues with it. 1
Lois_Griffin Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 It seems almost everyone is bald now. It's rampant. Admittedly, I find it completely unattractive. I only dated guys with full heads of hair and married one with a full head of hair - anymore, that's rare. When guys shave their heads, it's SO freakin obvious they're doing it to hide the fact that they're bald and not because it's all the 'rage.' 1
Michelle ma Belle Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 We all have preferences about how we'd like our ideal partner to look like if we could wave a magic want but there is SO much more to a human being than just what's on top of their head. It's a non-issue for me. 4
TheArtist Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 You don't prefer a silky four-strand combover do you Lois? If it's going, shave it off, surely! 3
Radarsat Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 When guys shave their heads, it's SO freakin obvious they're doing it to hide the fact that they're bald and not because it's all the 'rage.' Just out of curiousity, what do you expect men should really do about this? Are Comb overs really a better option? Not trying to be funny, just wondering what you think these men should do vs. shaving their heads. 1

Michelle ma Belle Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 You don't prefer a silky four-strand combover do you Lois? If it's going, shave it off, surely! I'm with you. I MUCH prefer a man take it all off than attempt to salvage the last few strands of hair he has left. Losing your hair? Then OWN IT damn it! Confidence is key and (for me) dead sexy. 7
Friskyone4u Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 JUst curious. You ladies who find bald men totally unattractive. What do you intend on doing if your current husband or boyfriend, the one with the full head of har, starts to lose it. And there is no way to be sure it will not happen. Does that mean you will trade him in for a new partner??????? 1
Radarsat Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Biro and a mirror. Works for me. Biro? Sorry, maybe it's too early for me. lol
TheArtist Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Biro? Ball point pen? No? Either way, don't do it. A marker pen works better anyway. 2
Glitters Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Depends on the woman you are or going to be with. Personally , my ex had his entire head filled with hair and my now husband had plenty when we met but has started thining now but not going to trade him as he is more than hair on his head ! 1
Mrin Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) I've been shaving my head since 2006. At first I did it because I wanted to see what my dome looked like. If it was ugly then I knew I would need to invest in some hair as male pattern baldness runs in my family and I could already see my hairline receding. But once I had done it, I just left it that way. When I was dating I never noticed any women turning their noses up at me. I am sure it happened but the way I look at it, it is of no more frequency then women taking a pass on me because I wasn't tall enough or because of my eye color or because I have a beard. I don't begrudge them for that because likewise, I passed over women for a whole variety of reasons that made them unattractive to me: don't like super skinny women, short hair, etc... NOTE: I don't shave it with a razor. I just take it down to the lowest guard setting with my trimmers. When I shave it with a razor I look mean - at least that's what my daughters tell me.

losangelena Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I love a good dome! Heck yeah. They say baldness is a sign of virility, you know. It's a much sexier look than the wisps, that's for sure. Having said that, my roommate will not date bald men, because she finds them intimidating, so, as with all things, you won't appeal to everyone. 2
smackie9 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 To me it isn't so much as looks but personality. If he had a strong/confident/ masculine personality I could careless. Bald isn't number one on my list but I could be flexible. Some guys can pull it off like Vin Diesel and some guys can't like Howie Mandel. 1
jen1447 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 We all have to adapt to changing looks as we age, and balding guys should just go w/the flow and cut their hair short. You don't have to suddenly go wax-polish bald (unless that's really your thing), but do cut it short bc combovers or handlebars are horrifying. (They say you're either delusional or you've given up.) A guy who cuts and styles and maintains his hair according to his personal dynamics, just like fitting clothes for your shape etc., will look like he's owning his lot in life, which shows confidence and will be appealing, just like Michelle said. (I do feel sorry for balding guys w/pointed heads tho ....there's just no winning for them.) 1
Popsicle Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Is it me or does it seem like men today are going bald earlier and more frequently than they used to?
Toodaloo Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Biro? Ball point pen? No? Either way, don't do it. A marker pen works better anyway. Or silly string. Seriously the whole bald thing - no guy who goes bald at what ever age can do anything about it. May as well just get on with it and do your thing. Baldness is not something that any man (or woman with alopichia - I know one and her future husband is gorgeous!) can help. It does not bother me at all if a man is bald or has a full head of hair. In fact baldness can be lovely as you get to see the shape of their heads and run your hands closer to their skin which can be rather erotic... Just saying. If you are bald and a girl doesn't want you because of that ask yourself - Do you really want to bother wasting time, emotion, money and ego on someone quite so superficial? I know I wouldn't. Edited January 7, 2016 by Toodaloo Auto correct problems! 2

Yeah....and women wear black because the color is so becoming.... TFY 3
carhill Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Back when I was young and bald, long hair, like hippie long hair, was in for men so being bald was a common reason for lack of dating interest. I didn't see much pushback after the mid-90's or so. Some of my fellow bald guys back in the day used to grow their friar fringe into a pony tail and that worked for some but I was never into long hair so never tried it. As was mentioned prior, baldness seems to be more prevalent and accepted these days.

NOTE: I don't shave it with a razor. I just take it down to the lowest guard setting with my trimmers. When I shave it with a razor I look mean - at least that's what my daughters tell me. Good summary. I've been shaving my head for about a year now. It helps that I have a good dome for it. I do it with a trimmer without an attachment. You'll get passed over for it on a superficial level like you get passed over for a lot of things. But the idea that it will single-handedly screw you over is definitely a limiting belief. I know personally, I screwed up a relationship I was in when my hair loss started happening a while ago. I was so insecure about it that even though she didn't mind my hair loss she minded me being a little b*tch. Anyway the real frustrating part about shaving your head is the maintenance. Something you don't appreciate when you have a full head of hair is that every day, your hair grows like 1% longer. When you shave your head down to a shadow, in a day it's twice as long as it was yesterday. And in two days it's twice as long as that. There's a much smaller sweet spot than when you have a full head of hair.
TheArtist Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 They say baldness is a sign of virility, you know. Yes, we like to say it's because of the rubbing motion on the headboard.
