I find it very difficult not being able to have a sex life or have relationships to the point where I think I'm going slightly mad because of it.
Tinca tinca, well if it helps I'm in exactly the same situation so I know how you feel. It is a hopeless situation when you feel there's nothing more you can do. Sex and relationships is not totally in our control and dependent on another individual's choice and will.
Life is becoming increasingly more difficult as I get older. The loneliness is really painful, especially on the weekends. During the week I think work distracts me enough to get me through it but this is like a disease.
I do genuinely believe that if we weren't bald, more women would pay attention to us. I am a living proof of this. When I was younger and had a buzz cut, I had more attention, women would check me out in public, I had more interest online etc. but now with a totally shiny bald head, I gain very little interest. This as you can imagine is painful. If I was married and/or had a partner, I wouldn't care but as a single man who's still searching for someone, this is a terrible situation to be in.
There is so much hypocrisy, in that many people will say baldness doesn't/shouldn't matter, it's more about your character and attitude. Yet we see baldness made fun of, baldness is not viewed as attractive. Tell me how many tv commercials do you see which showcase bald men? How many slim, beautiful models do you see hooking with bald dudes (and by this I don't mean Jason Statham, Rock etc. I'm talking about every day bald dudes who aren't A-list actors or celebs)??
Let me ask you then, how are these women going to get to know your character and attitude if they don't find you physically attractive to begin with?? Because that's what comes first....sure there are exceptions to this maybe like two people who've been friends for a long time etc. but in general bald men are not highly sought after. It's like saying to a fat chick; don't worry about being fat, men will find your sweet nature and kind heart attractive. How many fat chicks do you see with attractive men? Doesn't happen. How many bald dudes do you see with slim, attractive women? Happens rarely.
