Why do you reply to such old threads?Christmas depression??
There is also always a counter study
Here's a survey of what women find unattractive about a man: (It's in german language)

What is unattractive: (2586 women where asked)
spectacle wearers 8%
Grey Hairs 10 %
abdominal approach 10%
Baldness 11 %
Most unattractive:
Body and bad breath 95 %
Bad teeth 85 %
be fat 65%
Small body size 55 %
I'd say it's more like 11% find baldness acceptable.
When girls think "bald" they think of the one muscley 9/10 God they're actually attracted to, or Statham, or even someone who's got stubble as "bald".
Think of this:
Not this:
I was going to post the typical Slybald meme but if you look at this guys face he'd actually be average with hair, what's your first impression when you scroll to the picture? Far from average. He's got a lot of clawing back to do if he wants to do better than an obese single mom.
I'd say the same with grey hair, they're thinking of George Clooney, but for a normal 30 year old majorly grey guy this is a significant hit to his attractiveness, it's just odd looking (not as bad as baldness though). I've known some guys in their 40's who are grey and I'm not exaggerating when they look easily 60 even 70 (also have bad complexion as well though).
Anyway like I've always maintained, baldness is still not the end of the line, it just has awful repercussions for your personal life and life is f*****g hard enough without having to cope with extra hurdles that people don't even have sympathy for or acknowledge as a real issue.
And the major hurdle? Dealing with losing minimum 1 point of attractiveness, likely 2-3 points maybe 4.
So while women may even honestly answering that baldness "is not unattractive" they're thinking of a guy who's already bald, and still within their dating range. If it's an average woman she's thinking of a bald guy who's 6/10 as a bald guy, but forgetting this means he was previously a 7 or 8 with hair, and that's just a whole new level of hotness for most women.
For the hypothetical 6/10, he went from getting regular easy attention from average to attractive women, if he was remotely smart got to bang enough 7+ women out there, and now he has to try hard with average women and hope for a relationship with a 5 who may even have some side-issue (single mom, especially dumb/unfunny, overweight, considerably older) instead of possibly casual sex with actual attractive women, and the luxury of
choice and options of attractive women he might want to pursue a relationship with.
That is some drop, and you can't expect that guy to take that lightly. The bitterness he'll hold on to will not pass easily, mentally it would require being completely f*****g broken down and basically starting from scratch on how to be happy with your new life.
And that's for an attractive guy, for one who's average like above? He's down at like a 3 now, that's no man's land. This is what the majority of guys have to put up with, either incel future or having to force yourself to get an erection with the subbest of subpar women.
So this is the major hurdle, it's not just about settling with a woman who looks at you as within her dating range as bald, and even if she's totally accepting of that, you have to also be accepting of the fact you're dropping down a few notches to be with her, and that's a major thing to deal with. This is going to cause bitterness and tension that you would be one of the very few strong willed people who can overcome it and not let it strain on your relationship and personal well-being.
I didn't mean to rant on like this but venting at Christmas feels so good.

Meet Regan Gascoigne, the son of footballer Paul, and he's a model:
Albeit not a very successful model, because although the gut instinct is to see that damn hair and assume he's attractive, look at what he actually looks like:
This guy without hair is an abomination. With hair he can almost somewhat pass as an Instagram male model, though it probably takes literally dozens of photos of him to take a good one, and what of course will be the main focal point in trying to take a decent photo of this guy:
Hair.
