Hey,
I was thinking the other day (ouch!) :XX...
Do you think women ever look at a bald guy and think "oh no no no no no no... I want my babies to have full heads of hair as they grow up" and then no matter how funny, handsome, fit or confident you are will never be attracted to you? :/O
If you think there are women that think this... do you think its shallow?
Im interested in your opinions and whether or not you've thought about this before (whether women think this way... not whether you want your kids with full heads of hair!!)
-
I think there probably is women out there that think that way, and yes they are shallow. However I don't think that there is any evidence that just because the mother and fauther, have a full head if hair, that their babies will be born with a full head of hair also.
-
Definately, there is...
but would you want to give someone so narrow minded, the time of day? There are millions of open minded cool thinkn' girls/ women out there...life is way too short...I only know I would only want to be with someone that "gets" that i like/ want a bald head (I'm BBC)...if they don't get it....move on...
cute girls dig bald headed dudes....you WANT those types...your life will be better...
just like when you choose to be a bald , sly dude! O0
-
yup there is ...shallow?well maybe but most of them are just doing what society dictates them to do.
-
First off, if they see a guy with a shaved head and think their baby will never have hair, then that's just plain stupidity. :/O
But, there are women that see a guy with a balding head and think they don't want that, but I'm not sure it's because they're afraid that their children will be bald.
-
What I meant is that I'm sure there are women who go around looking for tall dark and handsome guys, not just because of her desires... but also wants to have the greater chance of having tall, dark and handsome children.
Now if thats true, then surely those same women see a balding guy and think "I don't want my children to have those genes"
But like you said... those that do simply are not worth bothering about!
-
First off, if they see a guy with a shaved head and think their baby will never have hair, then that's just plain stupidity. :/O
Well, to add to the argument of stupidity...here's one that has come up often, people that have known me for years will all of a sudden (when the conversation is about my bald head, which is a rarity)...notice my hairline by my shadow and say "Hey, you've got a full head of hair!"...
I say yea, but i like being bald....then you can see them working it through their heads as to "why"...then I get a couple questions, ect...
but it was like they understood, when they thought i was balding...then once they realized i wasn't, they couldn't get their heads around it!
So I can see where people assume all bald guys will possibly have children that will be balding also someday...some people are real stupid!
:/O

Hi Baldan..
from a woman's point of view, I've never ever had the misfortune to meet a woman who has said she wanted to have someones babies because of how someone looks. ??? (and in case you didn't know, us girls tend to talk...)
I'm a little lost on this post to be honest...
At the end of the day, subconciously or otherwise both women and men are attracted to the opposite/same sex through physical attraction..it's mother nature, whether it's their eyes, smile or a blonde barnet.. so does that make us all shallow?
-
Do such women exist? Likely
Is it Shallow? Yes
Is it any different than a man wanting to date a woman that only had ____________ (fill in attribute...huge boobs, blonde hair, etc.)? Nope.
Shallowness runs on both sides of the gender aisle.
-
Fully agree with you schro on that both genders can be shallow.
HOWEVER... Im not sure this answers my question...
For example I can say that in general I am more attracted to brunettes... but that doesn't mean if I meet a blonde girl I immediately put a barrier up because I want my children to be brunettes (because I know blonde girls can be stunning too!)
I just wondered whether there are women in the world (I only refer to women because I am a man looking for a woman...not that they are more shallow than us!) that would immediately put a barrier up because as Tyler once stated in an article he wrote for Helium.com that due to media etc... baldness and balding men are looked upon as if they are "uglier" or more "unfortunate" than those with a full head of hair.
So ok, let me slightly re-phrase the question... do you believe there maybe some women out there who have been ,if you like, "brainwashed" by the media to think that baldness is bad and hair is good and therefore SUBCONSCIOUSLY put a barrier up when we guys approach them and SUBCONSCIOUSLY think to themselves that they want their children to grow up with GOOD hair instead of having the chance of balding early ("BAD")?
I hope Im making more sence and not confusing you all further!!!

I hate when I write something and it comes back to haunt me. :-\
Just kidding!

I think the answer to your question is yes, some womens preconceived notions are to initially think that a bald guy may not be what they're attracted to and throw up a barrier. But again, I don't think this would have anything to do with future kids. More of a, "what would my friends think?" type question.
-
I think the more important question is How do YOU feel about YOURSELF? If you are good with you, and you like you, than you should have no problem introducing you to gals that want to be with you for you.
You understand?
Class dismissed! 8)

Completely agree!

I think only the girls can answer that question with any degree of certainty. Us blokes can only guess.

Baldan, I wouldn't worry about any of this. You're a young, good looking guy. I'm sure you'll attract your fair share of women. The good thing is that you'll know if there's a real attraction, it's because of who you are and not what is or is not on the top of your head. Hey, isn't MagmaBabe from across the pond too. Maybe she can set you up... just kidding MB.
-
Baldan, you are looking at this all wrong. The Bald Head is your attention get-her. Example: Women-Nice Rack, Guys- Bald Head. The Bald Head can get you noticed, your aura, personality, smile, etc. will be what keeps the other person interested. There "may" be some women that discriminate bald people, but I think you will find most don't really care about hair. As the Shro said, its more the "You" factor.
-
Baldan, I wouldn't worry about any of this.....
Baldan, if you're just curious...that is an interesting question...and, yes, chances are that somewhere out there it is possible that this could cross a misguided, shallow lady's mind.
If you're somehow distracted and/or overly concerned or WORRIED about it....
FOGETTABOTTED!!!
-
...its more the "You" factor.
GORGEOUS!!!

It's funny, I think most of us know the answers to questions like these. I think a lot of us are just looking for vaildation from others rather than just trusting our gut on what we view as correct.

Baldan - I think you will find that, in general, women are fairly open minded. In my experience they have a lot fewer hangups on how their girlfriends perceive them for dating a certain guy. Whereas us guys are guilty to a certain extent of judging a guy's "manliness" or whatever term you choose by how much of a trophy their girlfriend is.
A lot of women out there have never dated a sly guy. Most of those women would be open to the idea of doing so. Some more so than others; a lot of women just like something new and interesting and your bald head might be one of those things! And others may be a bit more reserved, like the last girl I was dating, but when they get to know YOU and not your bald head, it's smooth sailing.
I remember, when I was 19 and before I started losing some hair, a girlfriend once told me that she would never date a bald guy. I laughed with her, because I knew my time was coming, for I am my father's son. And it was just another one of those things that convinced me that she was a fairly mean-spirited person in general; it was one of those moments where I knew things wouldn't work out between her and I, and not just because I was convinced that I too would be bald some day.
So yes, I am sure there are women who would never give a bald guy a chance. Just like there are guys who don't date women with tattoos on their arm or people who don't date other people because of their race or the economic class they were brought up in. It's a stupid hangup to have, and in the end, the people who are restricting themselves are only hurting themselves.
But again, fear not. Most women are open-minded, and although a few of those open-minded ones take a bit more coaxing and massaging than others may, they just might be worth it.
And stop looking for reasons to not be confident!

Every woman I've queried on the subject has not felt that bald was a turnoff. Actually, it was multiple women who encouraged me to shave my head.
I guess it depends on what you mean by bald--balding or totally shaved. Either way, many women don't care that much. It's more important to keep yourself well-groomed and interesting. From a biological perspective, it doesn't make sense for a woman to turn away a man just because of a normal and natural male process, since that guy is just as likely to be a worthy partner as any other. Although if you're sly, that's one more thing that stands you out from the usual barrage of bore. :)

Guess thats true in a lot of things in life... and in this instance its true. I know what I believe to be the answer (or at least MY answer), just like validation from other likeminded people.

hmmmm O0
And stop looking for reasons to not be confident!
Trust me, im not looking for reasons to not be confident... I AM glad I went sly and I feel MUCH better about myself than I ever did (apart from when I was a teen and I took hair for granted!!) just wanted to see what others thought on the subject.
REGARDING MY NEW NON-HAIRDO PICTURE ON FACEBOOK...
Im on Facebook and I uploaded my newest pic as my profile picture and a girlfriend of mine said the following...
"where's your hair gone???"
To which I replied....
"um... what can I say... I er... wanna be more aerodynamic!!"
She then said
"...it was also a shock... but getting used to it now.... liking it!x"
Then went on about how she misses my face around Croydon (a town where we used to go clubbing)
so you see, bald for me is better... just wondered what everyone else thought about what they THOUGHT the opposite sex initially think when you first meet them.
And then I read what Chap007 wrote which I think is a great way of looking at it...

I agree. Nuff said :)

He's seen the light! d5c*
And so ends another successful session at the SBG Institute of Higher Slyness.
Now, go Seek & Destroy! (sorry, was listening to Kill 'Em All this morning).
-
when I was born, I had a full head of hair, when most babies are born bald, and grow hair soon after birth. I am going backwards, had it, then shaved it, and look better than ever!
-
If there was such a woman, and she missed you because she was that shallow, then she wasn't the woman you wanted anyway! O0
-
Baldan-where abouts do you come from?
-
I was born in the south of London and now live in the north (Manchester).
-
well well another Northern boy. I live near Liverpool, but I do work in Mancester every so often.
-
Heard of Stockton Heath (warrington)?... thats me. SLYing it up big time!
-
Yeah I have, Ive been working near there for the last couple of weeks in Warrington, I always see the sign for Stockton Heath on my way home
-
Wow, this question sorta makes you think doesnt it. I dont want people to think that my kids will have a bald head when they grow just because I am bald by choice..hmmm
-
I must admit, when I get interested in a girl I look at her genetics that show in the form of her, siblings, and parents. If she comes from a family of hunchbacks I dont want to have kids with her. I know of some girls that do look at guys and think 'this or that is wrong with him, pass'. But like others have said, you want the girls that love the bald guys which I have no problem finding. So many girls out there are fascinated by it, almost obsessed and they cant keep their hands off it.Thats the best kind O0
