I have been on this forum for few months now. I see that too often people make extreme statements regarding a bald guy’s prospect of getting a good looking girlfriend. I am not going to sugarcoat it. Hair loss severely impacts the way we look. It also impacts our chances of success with a women. But is there reason to lose all hope and think one can never find a decent girlfriend/wife? I will say, no. There are plenty of bald or short guys with decent looking women and girlfriends. Don’t take my word for it. Just look around you and see it for yourself. If you dream about being a player type guy who sleeps with a different women every week, then yes, hair loss will make it extremely hard or, barring few exceptions, even impossible. But if all you want is a long term girlfriend, then it’s possible, given you have fixed everything else in your life such as your mental health, career, physique etc. All you need is to get out and meet people in real life. Not just in bar/clubs, but other social settings as well. So next time when you feel hopeless, ask yourself, what do you really want? If you want to be a player, then yes you have reason to be disappointed. But if all you want is a girlfriend/wife, there is still hope.
This forum is so much focused on looks that people seemed to believe that looks are everything. It is simply not true. In some situations looks may be everything, for example if you are trying to pick up a women in bar. But looks are not enough for a lasting happy relationship. It takes a lot more than looks. Yesterday, a classmate of mine posted pics of his family on Facebook. He was NW5 in college. He was of average height and face. He started dating this good looking women back then. It’s been over eight years and they are still happily married. They have a child now. I was NW2 when I started dating my ex-wife. She is a really nice women but still my relationship only lasted 3 years. So there is this NW5 guy who is happily married for over eight years and I, the NW2, couldn’t even get past three. My classmates wife and my ex-wife are on the same level look wise. So what does that tell you? There are far too many variables when it comes to a relationship. Looks are very important, but so are other things. It’s important to pay attention to other important things as well if you want to be happy in a relationship and life. I am concerned that people on this forum are so focused on looks, they will be in for a disappointment if and when they get married. This extreme negativity is only going to hurt you. And please don't tell me, "Oh you are not completely bald so you wouldn't know how tough it is for a bald man to get a women". Of course I don't know what it feels like to be completely bald. But I have eyes and I can see that there are plenty of bald or short guys who are happily married. No matter what you say, you CAN'T change this fact.
