dating when bald - not getting the same attention
tryingtostaypositive:
Time and time again my point is being proved though. Bald guys simply are at a disadvantage. I understand that it's about confidence and how you come present yourself to a degree, however as I said before, we are all judged initially outwardly on the way we look. So if baldness is already something that turns most women off, then these sly bald guys never have a chance to prove that confidence and show off their personality, BECAUSE THEY ARE REJECTED AT THE FIRST STAGE. Looks aren't everything but obviously they matter.
In the same way, you see an overweight woman in a bar/club, most men aren't into that and so they're not going to approach her, even if she happened to be a sweet, decent, genuine caring woman with many good traits. It's the same with sly, bald guys; most women will gravitate towards men with hair.

Tryingtostaypositive , many of your statements are accurate. But your crying about having no hair doesn't solve " your " problem does it ? Other than complaining about your lack of hair what , do you suggest we should do ? You we're dealt a certain hand in life make the best of it. The other forum where they make fun of us and try to put hair on the heads is where you should stay .

You are correct, I guess I just need to find a better coping strategy to deal with this and feel more positive. What would solve the issue is if I did meet my ideal partner because she would accept me with my bald head and everything else. So for me, that's what it really comes down to. It's all to do with women and being able to attract the right person. Once I do that, then why would I need to worry about being bald anymore?
Are there other single bald guys who feel this way?
I remember reading a story about a guy in his 50s who was married, had children, had his own business etc. was successful in every area of his life but his hair loss bothered him so much that he decided to go for a transplant and I just thought why is he that bothered...I mean he has everything he wants and at that age I can't imagine even caring that much.

I know for other guys, regardless of their relationship status, the baldness is still going to be a problem.

The old saying " we all have that certain partner out there " is probably true . Most people have doubts, especially in our younger years. So just keep on trying you never know when that special person will show up.

I know of two examples of women being attracted to bald men. My daughter' best friend at age 25 met, fell in love with and married a guy who was fully bald at age 26. Five years later, they're happily married. One of my neighbors had very advanced MPB and shaved his head on his wedding day. He and his wife have three kids and just celebrated 12 years of marriage.
Yes, some women are turned off by baldness. People, both men and women, have inherent biases, but if we let our perceived shortcomings keep us out of the race, we have no one to blame for our unhappiness but ourselves. My wife is attractive and charming. It took me a ton of courage to ask her our because I'm not the most athletic, best looking, richest, wittiest guy, but I'm really glad I took a shot because we're happily married for 33 years. Guess what? She loves me as much as bald guy as when I had a full head of hair.
