with 18-25 yr old women
There are of course exceptions to the rule but this is generally how it goes.
Here are some failos I can think about.
Height: Being below 5'9, depends on your location though. In the Netherlands it's probably below 5'11 or so while in the Mediterrenean its probably more like below 5'7. Generally younger girls who are in the prettyboy phase mind it less. Matters more the older you get and the older the girls you date get.
Frame/Proportions: Small frame is bad. Wide hips is bad. Gyno is bad.
Hair: Above NW1.5-3 is bad. Hugely dependent on age again. You wont be able to date girls who spend their free time on tik tok if your hairline is past Norwood 1.5. However you might still get away with nw3 with 25 year olds if you have the right head for it without it being a failo. Unlikely though. Probably more like nw1.5-2.5 tbh. So hair matters less the older you get and the girls you date get and the better your skullshape is.
Skullshape: Hairloss is the only possible failo that enables another failo. Skullshape. Your skullshape doesn't really matter if you have hair as we know from those nice transformations on r/bald that reveal the freakish skulls. Dunno what constitutes a sh*t skullshape but you know it when you see it.
Face: Eyebrows and below. Again, you know what is a good, average, bad face when you see one. Might have to evaluate it together with hair/skullshape but since we are on a hairloss forum it kinda makes sense to divide it for more generalization regarding norwooding.
Weight: Don't be fat. Self explanatory. I don't even know why you are here if you can't fix that so honestly just stop reading here if you are fat and mealprep salads for the rest of the week. Can only be a failo.
Dick size is another possible halo, failo but it usually only gets relevant once you already landed the girl. Determines if you can hold FWB's and how long you can hold ltr.
Now a debatable question is how halos make up for failos. For example it's widely known that past 6'2 some norwood salvation can take place. Basically top tier height making up for being bald. I'm too lazy to figure out how all of this goes, but generally I think real halos don't completely make up for failos (except in extreme cases like meeks having a gigachad face making up for his balding), but are still nice. Lets just say 2 halos make up for one failo to simplify the argument.
So lets make up an example suitable for this forum:
6'0, good but not great frame/proportions, nw5, good skullshape, ok face, ok weight.
6´0 is not yet a halo. It's what women consider average irl. Tall starts at 6´1. So pretty much neutral
Frame/proportions not a halo. Halos only start at elite tier
NW5 a failo
Decent skullshape. Skullshape can't be a halo, you are bald if it starts mattering.
ok face not a failo not a halo
weight not a failo
so we have 1 failo, no halos but most things are in upper range.
this guy will be able to get LTR's with prime niche girls that don't mind balding very much. possibly bc their father is bald or honestly due to a variety of reasons. he will not be able to consistently get slays due to his bald head though. very unlikely without insane social skills/status/hatfishing etc.
he puts on weight --> no more ltr's. bald and fat = no ltr material
he was 5'7 --> no more ltr's. bald and small = no ltr material for desirable women
he had a gigachad face and 6'1 --> could probably slay even while being bald
tldr: 1 failo = no more slaying
2 failos = no more ltr
advanced hair loss = in many cases 2 failos due to bad skullshape on top of lack of hair (I would estimate 30-50%)
