Do you update all your dating profiles to reflect your baldness? Do you mix the pre-shave and post-shave photos? Would girls find it to be deceptive to post photos of you with hair online and end up meeting you shaved?

Post photos of who you are now. You are sporting the bald look now.    Gosh knows how deceptive people can be on dating sites. I can't tell you how many women I have met who only posted photos of their face.  I learned why.

Be honest and keep the photos current.  Although I have been married for over 27 years and never used such back when I was single, I would have been upset if a friend set me up on a blind date based on a photo that was "dated" and not accurate.

Absolutely change your photos to your bald look. I periodically grow my hair to a short flattop, so I was changing photos alot. Now I just leave my shaved head photos online, as I usually don't grow hair more than a month or so. After about a week, I break out in a bad dermatitis issue. As soon as I shave, it's gone in about 3 days. Even though I have a full head of hair, I guess mother nature has determined I should remain bald.

If you plan to be bald when you meet a woman in person, then by all means post pictures of you with a shaved head.  Anything else is false advertising.  I don't think you would want the woman showing up looking markedly different than her picture, would you?

I might post the most flattering pics of you with hair and also bald. That way, the right person might see you in the light that they like best...

Besides, RedDog, you rock the bald look.

Thanks Dan, I'm already looking forward to spring so I can enjoy the sun on my dome, and not have to wear a hat outside!

When I first shaved my head I had some photo's taken by my dad ( who did the shave for me) I added those to my dating profile ( and social media). I also mentioned on the dating profile that I had started shaveing my head.

As time went on I had more and more photos taken of me being sly. I updated my professional headshot as well. The more sly photos I had the more I phased out photos where I had (visible) hair. Now just over a year later all my dating profile(s) have photos with sly me.

So, in a nutshell, my advice is have atleast 1 photos of you sly to start with, be honest that you have gone sly, and update with more accurate photos as you go/ decide to stay sly.

Hope this helps
