An ugly face thin woman or a bald guy ?
I'd stick with the bald guy.

You all talk about women like they are the only judges in this game,
but none of you would date or even look over an ugly woman unless he really gets to know her.

True, which is why we realize that girls are no different, and wouldn't even look at us baldies unless they got to know us. It's a shame, but it's a superficial world we live in.

The dude on the right is...B...A...L...D...and most women don't like that, know matter what the rest of him looks like. Period. End of story. The reason: He is BALD, and nothing else. That's it, it is purely because the guy is bald.

Not only that, he may look too "aggressive" for most women, who will be intimidated, and would not want to be with a guy like that. I have known women just like that. (young ones, pretty ones).

If you can't accept that, then you are the one with the problem, not me.

YOU have a problem with accepting baldness and all the crap that goes along with it. No, being bald isn't fun, no matter how you slice the dice. But the more you delude it, by "denial," which is what you are doing, the longer it will take you to realize that being bald sucks.

Buddy, I don't know what planet you live on, but from where I'm coming from, when women are confronted with a bald guy, the majority of them are going to go "eewwww" and that would still include the guy on the right, despite the fact he looks damn good for a bald guy - unless he was a celeb, or somebody powerful w/ fame, fortune, and status.

Ever heard that song "Pretty fly for a white guy"?
Well, I would bet that that is what most women are going to say about guys that look like the guy on the right in your picture, anyways the words will be changed to "Pretty fly for a bald guy." While most women are just going to go "ewww, he's bald - YUCK!" despite the fact that he looks good for a baldy - better than I could ever look.

That is reality. It is not the "perfect" ideological world that you think you live in, it is the cold-hearted, superficial world that we all unfortunately live in. That is life my friend.

Just stating my opinions, that's all.

Thank god your opinions are just that... opinions... and not reality :p

My GF thinks the guy on the right is way hotter, as well as my roommates (3 girls). They say its because he has a DISTINCT style... he doesn't look confused on who he is. The guy on the left seems like he's a lost puppy.

If your plan is to pick up women SOLELY based on looks, you are fighting a losing battle, my friend.
Women (the vast majority of them) don't date bald men. Now, there's a big difference between a man who met a woman, got married, and then he lost his hair. That is a different story. Will they leave their hubbys? Yes, some of them will, actually. And the reason: they went bald, and they found them less attractve, and therefore could not be in love with them anymore.
LOL
The reason why women leave men in marriages when they go bald is because those guys LOSE their confidence. If they let their baldness take over them, they become weak and depressed... which turns them into a totally different person. These men become very introverted and the women get confusing signals. Women are emotional creatures.

If this wasn't true, then why did my mom leave my dad, who has hair, for my step-dad, who is bald as a bowling ball? Your logic doesn't make sense, broseph.

in terms of attractiveness, woman don't just go "omg bald no". it's the overall look i guess. if you look ok bald, then you will be fine. if not, get a wig or something if you want to look better

Some women do react like that unfortunately though. I think they are in the minority.

Gboy2k8, I'm sorry if I was harsh. I know you're a depressed guy and I honestly want you to feel better. But I just felt like you were a bit patronizing.

You got the wrong attitude my friend.
Just like me.

I keep asking my friends how do they get girls (most of them with full hair) -
The answer is always similar. Confidence and not giving up.

They repeat the same things -
They go to a party and hit a girl after girl after girl,
100 will reject them. The 101 won't. That's the idea.

I have a great looking friend with full hair which never scores - NEVER EVER ,
he looks much better than any other friend I have but women seem to always reject him -
HOW CAN IT BE you must be asking yourself.
HE MUST BE BULLSHITING.

I'm not.

That's the trick , to be a real man you need to think like a hunter , that's what the women want. nothing else.

Focusing on success and not failure is the key.
I do not believe you're ugly my friend ,
hair or not.

That's the problem with perfection,
It's an illusion your mind creates in order to adjust yourself in life more easily.
It's bullshit.
You can't wait your whole life for a girl , most of them still are in a stiff thought that you are the one who should get them.
they LIKE to be hunted.
That's their fun.
If someone doesn't like you it's HER LOSS not yours, she doesn't worth it.
Move on to the next one, and then the next one.
Doing nothing ISN'T GOING TO SOLVE ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR SITUATION IN LIFE
YOU my friend ARE NOT A WOMAN
you can't hang out waiting for a chick to hit on you cause simply IT WONT HAPPEN
GET THAT sh*t INTO YOUR BRAIN.

Pulling yourself thinking you are unattractive doesn't matter true or false will MAKE YOU unattractive .

I AM NOT LYING
this information i'm giving you is the best you can ever receive -
I simply don't want you to drag yourself into my situation.
MANY WOMEN REJECT ME
I BELIEVE - I simply BELIEVE I AM UGLY
even though many many people including women told me I look good,
or I've heard about it from others.
The fuckin' beauty queen of my country (which was a friend of mine) told me I'm good looking and I STILL REFUSE TO TOLERATE IT.

Your MIND my friend -
Makes the difference
NOTHING ELSE -
Reality , is on the top of your brain.
Change your thoughts will lead to changing reality.

Oh.
And when you succeed -
tell me how you did it.

Because I yet don't know.

I just read this post. It's not my style to go around hitting on every girl in the club. Some women just go to have fun with their friends, some already have a man. Most will not appreciate some guy hitting on them, it may come across as creepy or skeevy, especially if you've been drinking. You better have Brad Pitt looks to have success. When I had hair, I had pretty good success with women. I had a few nice, cute girl friends. I wasn't some huge pimp, but I had success. Generally I would date girls I met through friends, at work or school. Now women don't show interest. I have eyes, I can see how unattractive I look without my hair now. I will send you some pics if you want, you'll shed tears for me when you see how dramatically different I look, and it's for the worst.

When are you guys going to realize not many women or even men want to hang around a depressed balding or bald guy which fits the description of many of the men posting on this forum. I don't even want to hang around depressed people myself so being on this forum has been a struggle. And when I am feeling down about myself, I don't even like myself. How am I supposed to expect anyway else to like me when I get down and depressed about something I don't like about myself. However, when I act positive, humorous, outgoing, charming, and self confident everyone wants to be around me and nobody cares what I look like or how much hair I have. I enjoy being around people who are outgoing, humorous, charming and positive. Trust me, hot looking women are very high to maintain. And when they get depressed because they get a pimple or a gray hair or a wrinkle or put on a pound they will try to drag you down with them. Who needs that? Shallow women attract shallow guys. If you are shallow and want a shallow women, then go for it. You will have nothing but misery. Positive soul mates attract positive soul mates. This forum is so full of depression because people are losing their hair. If you project that depression to the rest of the world, you in for a lifetime of rejection. I think alot of you are experiencing that everyday and come on here and cry about it. I am one of them who has been a party to this but I am working on changing my attitude. Otherwise, I am in for a miserable lonely life. I don't want that. I know all of you don't want that. If you think the world is going to reject you because of your lack of hair, your wrong. Its because you are not confident to know your hair is not your problem.

1) your GF and her friends like "head shaver" guys
2) I'd say that most women, in general, are not into guys that look like that. I guess it all depends on what scene they hang out in.

If you go outside the normal scene that you hang out in, outside the young "20 something dance club/nightclub scene" - that is, you'll find out that there's a whole world out there of women that absolutely despise bald men, as well as a whole world in general that disapproves of bald guys.

Maybe you'll understand this, if and when you hit NW3/4, but until then, you won't see this angle of being bald and what it is truly like. I guess you have to experience it to know what it's really like.

I guess when you become that bald, only then will you begin to notice how differently people will treat you. And it won't take long at all before you realize that it's not a good thing, it's an awful, horrible horrible experience to have to go through.

I have personally knew a woman who dated a bald head shaver guy, and dumped him because she couldn't stand to look at his bald head anymore (she came out and actually said that). She went on to say that "never again" would she date bald men because it started grossing them out after a while - the "slick/shiny/glaring chrome dome bald head that is, as she explained.

I know she wasn't lying because every time after that, I seen her always with some guy that had a full head of hair.

1) your GF and her friends like "head shaver" guys
I think you are getting confused. They like attractive guys that can carry themselves, yes. The point is, buddy on the right doesn't carry himself very well. You could have the most rocking hair in the world and still be a depressed-looking loser. (Not saying he is one, but thats another story)

I have hit NW3 with vertex thinning (actually, worse, the hair above my sideburns has receded as well). I've lost a lot of ground in the past year. And to top it all off I get pimples along where my hairline is supposed to be.

I shave every other day with a BIC. I'm 23 years old and have significantly less hair than people in their 30's, 40's and beyond.

But... Ces't la vie. I still have no problems in the opposite-sex department. Nor does my uncle (he's bald), or my ex-business partner (he's bald). Actually, he just broke up with a girlfriend recently and found another chick a week later. LOL.

It seems like your biggest concern is to be accepted by EVERYONE. If you go through life trying to please EVERYONE then you will lead a miserable life. Guaranteed.

People reject fat people. People reject 'muscly' people. People reject people with long hair. People reject people with no hair. People reject tall people. People reject short people.

To further this example: My buddy dumped his ex-girlfriend because she started getting too many piercings. Interesting.

Just because you're a perfect NW1 doesn't mean the vast majority of women will accept you. Most women think men are creeps until they prove otherwise. Ever heard of the expression 'b**ch shield'?

We could sit here and argue about this all day... but it's useless because everyone here is generalizing. There's no fact, just things based on experience.

Aren't you like 30 with a norwood 2? You yourself always say how 99% of hispanics have great hair. How would you like to be in that other 1% at 25 years old? Try staying positive in my shoes.

If I was goodlooking and bald, I wouldn't really complain. Guy who gets the most *** in my work is NW6, but he has the face for it, is tall, etc. I could roll with that fine.

I am short and don't have a handsome face. This didn't matter so much when I had thick dark wavy hair. The only real compliments would be "I love his hair". With that gone, I've nothing.
Being bald and ugly is a deathblow in your twenties.

Baldness in and of itself isn't the big problem - it's what it can do to certain people. It's a pain for goodlooking people but they can still do fine with the ladies - no problem after they get used to it.
But for a man who was mediocre with hair, losing it puts you firmly in that "creep" category. You know, the ugly weird looking, bald dude who everyone stereotypes as a rapist in waiting.

Exactly. It's completely different for different people. If I looked like Patrick Stewart I wouldn't be happy losing my hair, but I'd be a lot less pissed about it than I am.

The whole notion of women not dating a balding guy is ridiculous.

Also, the guy on the right is about a thousand times more attractive than the guy on the left, hair or not.

Left guy 4.5.
right guy with hair 9.0, right guy without hair 8.5.
8.5 > 4.5

sorry fellas just because girls dont date YOU the bald guy doesn't mean they dont date other bald guys

Do guys with big noses automatically assume other guys with big noses dont get women just because he cant and/or because his confidence is in pieces just like his social life?

i hate balding as much as the rest of you but even if i go slick bald tommorow i wont let it RUIN my life. If i was slick at 24 it would be pretty devastating and i know for sure it would affect my confidence ((mainly because i know it makes it harder for me!) ...(although i do think i might be surprised at certain niches of attention it might garner...but im not ready to experiment yet lol!)) but i would never let it wreck my life. My friends would still be my same friends for a start, my job would still be my job, everything would be the same apart from girls and even then i think i could surprise myself with a bit of hard work (style, beard, game).

So yes, it sucks ***. Its an absolute bastard. But you have to find the power from your inner self to let yourself prove to yourself that your mindset can help change things.

Dudemon, im sorry if you get "outted" like that by random strangers. Im not sure whats going on here. Do you look like Frankenstein or something? Thats how you make it out.

You appearance can't be controlled completely but you can look your best. What signals do you think you give off? What kind of clothes do you wear?

The way you describe mum's doing that to you makes me think you dress like a punk or a homeless guy to complete the look. Just for example, if you were walking around a store with a neat suit, nice shoes, clean cut etc i find it hard to believe anyone would even notice you in such a context. Unless you have a neck for lingering and giving off bad signals (unintentionally). Perhaps you have, over time?
