A female POV on baldness

[CaptainForehead]

Picked this from the web

i have never heard this theory that higher testosterone leads to baldness.. regardless, i will give you a female point of view. when i see a bald man (not a shaven head, a genetically bald man) i think that he is past his prime or i know this might sound weird, but i some how think this man does not have strong genes. i know you might think that sounds silly, but im just giving you a personal point of view as a woman.

i dont think there is anything inherently wrong with baldness and im sure some women find that attractive, but to me baldness for some reason equates to some one who is far too old for me to have any kind of sexual interest in or some one that has bad genes and i would not want to pass the baldness gene onto a child. sorry if that is offensive in any way to you.

Oh god, thank you for an eye opening discovery right there! we all thought that women view baldness as an extremely attractive trait up to this point!

 

[Pyro]

yes, main point being, "A" as in singular, 1 womans opinion. many women love the bald man c***. no worries.

 

[TravisB]

Stupid b**ch! She probably doesn't realise that until her possible son with a bald guy would grow up into male pattern baldness age (which would be at least more or less 20 years from now), the baldness will probably not be a problem anymore. There will be either new powerful treatments to prevent it (like CB-03-01), or hair cloning, or if we'll be lucky, maybe even some of the Replicel, Histogen, Follica etc. will come up with something succesful in the next 5 - 10 years..

Another woman when asked if she would date a sly shaved guy:

If they have a full head of hair but shave it, fine. But male pattern baldness? No freaking way. I mean, if I had a receding hairline or a bald spot on the back of my head, I would not expect very many people to find that attractive.

Does everyone here not realize that every thread in this section has the exact same conversation going on in it ? Ya woman find it unattractive so f*****g make something of yourself and become more than a vessel that floats around life showcasing his hair. If you go on with life thinking a girl is only going to be with you if you have hair, after a long enough time you will actually convince yourself of that.

 

[Beingbaldsucks]

Being bald in your 20 makes you look like a freak end of story, it's taking all the youth out of you and make woman to hate you end of story

You hear that guys, we can relax............. It's only one woman out of millions that hates bald guys. The rest think we are totally hot and want to have sex with us. What an awesome relief!

 

[Buzzlightyear]

Honestly I truly feel for you guys I really do, and maybe I am just a huge optimist I dunno. I am 26 with really no hair on my head I go sly and like I have said before I really have no problems with females or society. Sure I understand we aren't the perfect cup of tea for most girls, but honestly there is more to relationships and sex than just hair, speaking from my personal experience's. If it's killing you guys so bad and Dudemon I have read about your situation and truly sorry to hear brother, but why don't you guys get some really good hair pieces ? Dudemon I know you got scars and a botched HP so why not get a hair piece to cover it up ? I totally understand the confidence issues with losing your hair as I have and still do experience them, the feeling of your youth drained and being gone. I truly believe it's the psychology behind hair loss that makes us feel so ugly and in turn allows society to view us in that same way. Again not just me but I know plenty of bald guys who get girls so I don't know maybe we are just the lucky few ?

You have it twisted.

Follow me on this...

We live in a image/youth/beauty obsessed culture, do we not?

Baldness is seen as old and unattractive by mainstream society, which is contrary to it's values, no?

The above is reinforced by the media, further driving the point to the public that bald=bad.

The public being brainwashed by the media believe this and behave accordingly, which manifests itself through teasing, insults, crooked looks, etc.

Bald men receive these messages from both the media and the public which in turn lowers their confidence making them feel insecure, innadequite and ultimately self-loathing.

People pick up on their low self esteem and use it to further berate and alienate them.



This is the cycle of causation and it is fucked up plain and simple.

Agreed?

 

[Captain Obvious]

^Agreed.


I also believe that women want men that they can show off to their girlfriends and their family. A girl imagines showing up at a party with her new boyfriend and if he is bald she knows she is going to get some funny looks like, "why is she dating a bald man, has she lowered her standards?".

so if the guy is not rich or anything, then she at least wants him to have "all his parts", including his hair. that's the least she can do for herself.

 

[Beingbaldsucks]

The only bald guy I sew that looks really good and even better then some hair filled dudes is Jason sthathem. I don't know why but the guy has the perfect face for it.

This is the cycle of causation and it is f***ed up plain and simple.

Agreed?

Disagree. It sounds to me like you and majority of posters on here have brainwashed themselves into believing this is fact. The media imo doesn't tell society bald = bad what makes people think/view bald being bad is our societies obsession with preventing/correcting it. Hairloss is a billion dollar industry that picks on our insecurities and leads us to believe that it is wrong. So when us bald men go out and act like it is wrong society will view it as wrong. It's not the media and girls in everyday life who make bald this bad thing, it's bald men who lose all their confidence and livelihood that make being bald a bad thing. If every bald man went out in the world and acted as they should like nothing is wrong and they are no less of a man than someone with hair there wouldn't be a problem and being bald would be cool.

It's on the individual to either let balding break him or not phase him, you can blame girls, society, the media whoever you want. The fact of the matter is the individual is the one with the problem no the rest of the world. I am sure there are girls out there who ridicule bald people and don't find is appealing, however there are plenty of girls and people in this world who truly don't really give a rats *** about it. The more you go through life thinking your baldness is this huge problem the more you will believe it and other's will think it's a problem.

:bravo:

I can actually see UC mans point re the media obsession with youth, but your post was VERY well said.

 

[virtuality]

I live with another guy and his girlfriend stays with us at least 3-4 nights a week, sometimes she brings her female friend over and she sleeps in our spare bedroom. Basically, those two girls are almost like my flatmates. They don't pay any rent but when they come over they always buy something from the supermarket, so they make up for it in food.

Anyway, we were watching TV the other night and the two girls were combing each other's hair. I jokingly made a comment that I wish I had hair so that they could play with my hair as well.

We sort of ended up talking about hair, the friend said that hair is pretty much everything for her... The girlfriend said hair is only important for women and not essential for men...

Basically, there are girls that care about hair and there are girls that don't care about hair..

The funny thing is, it's been implied in the past that the girl that cares about hair sort of fancies me...

 

[seb]

Their lying.

 

[AnberlinFan84]

Truth hurts..... Let's reverse it on them and reveal how much we don't like overweight woman who refuse to work out and think its acceptable to be fat.

I'm just trying to be myself and myself means not at all like everyone else I don't need to fake sh*t, if a girl pisses me off I tell her this in her face, I'm not trying to kiss girls *** like all the pretty boys cuz I know that will be for nothing. Cuz girls are shallow, at least in the early 20, more mature woman may be less superficial, but young woman are b****s, so instead of thinking how to get them I go to strip clubs and just living my life, pickupless

+1

If you convice your mind to believe one thing it will do everything it can to convice you to ignore everything other than what you believe.

She lied so you wuldent get hurt. She probably do care about hair and will never choose you, even the "smart" girls judge man by look and they don't like to admit it, the woman I'm in love with keep telling how much personality is important but she will never date an ugly guy even when she dosent admit it she is superficial.
