She's not worth your time. And it's sad most women are superficial especially an 18 year old. But it also goes to show how much that hair is more than just vanity..

Women 30 plus don't really care about your hair. But unfortunately for you the dating scene around your age is looks based. I would honestly try to stick with older women if I were you.

That girl is preconditioned to think that every guy should have hair like Justin Bieber. And it's unfortunate at your age this sh*t is happening to you. I can sort of relate. I'm 27 and it's happening to me. But a word of advice. And I know it sucks. It will be difficult with younger women. Unless you really find one who isn't superficial.

As someone who, pre-hairloss was more successful with women in their 30s than 20s despite being early 20s myself, I can confirm this is in general, false.

Women care about looks just as much as men - period. It's just that men lose hair more frequently and more severely and lots of younger guys don't want to date older women (which is weird to me since IMO, most hot women are at their hottest in their 30s. I think it's because they look neither young nor old) so older women find themselves with less options than when they were younger.

Make no mistake, though. Plenty of men in their 30s still have lots of hair and women, regardless of their age, will take these men over balding ones.

Truth is, this girl started to act different around me, as if I was a completely different person. Then out of nowhere, a couple weeks later, she stopped calling and ignored my texts.

Sometimes (often) women do that regardless of your haircut.

They can find you attractive one day and unattractive the next.

Or the other way around.

Be weary of overanalyzing individual anecdotes.

It's true. A balding or bald man will always have a disadvantage. Unless you have great facial aesthetics and perfect shaped head and a great body.

Rule of thumb,

At age 30, ~30% of men are visibly balding.

So yes, it's still a disadvantage.

Most men start to visibly bald in their 30's. That's usually when the balding gene kicks in. I feel for every single guy who starts balding in their late teens and 20's. It can just destroy you psychologically. Because it's extremely rare for the gene to kick in that young.

Imagine she'd started to thinning or shaved her head would you still date her?

Come on.

She is only 18 let her enjoy juicy fullheads not balding subhumans. Try to hit real woman after 40. (or single moms with 12 kids)

Two things:
1. Something similar happened to me to when I was in my early twenties. I still had combable hair. There was a girl at university who was into me apparently a lot. She drove 100 miles just to see me and I did not even know she liked me. I had another girl at that time. One year and a half later my previous girl and I split and I went and found this new girl who had been into me. She was unsure she still wanted me. Then she said yes but do you want to know what she asked me the first week we were together? "Were you already thinning last year? Can you do something about it?" Some weeks later she left me.

2. Why are you surprised this woman is influenced by your hair loss and reacts to it? Did you think it is "all in our mind" and women really like all bald heads? Come on.

Untrue :


No. Two-thirds of all men will experience some hair loss by the time they hit 35, and by age 50 a full 85% of guys will have some thinning hair.

But yes it's difference if you are full bald or have some hair loss....some hair loss is normal it's a aging process!!

A 35 years old guy is just no more a 20 young boy.

Women care much, much more, and are definitely pickier and more shallow. Men are no better, but even so....

That's really just because western society is structured around "men have to court women" so women, especially attractive ones, always have their pick of the litter.

I worked with this one girl who is now a close friend of mine. She's the only asexual person I've ever met. Like, she is straight up grossed out by sex and shoots down every guy who asks her on a date and she gets asked out at least twice a week by random customers. Not always even creepy ones.

Like, she's only above average looking, but even a woman with no interest in sex and dating is more successful than the average balding man.

I don't choose to blame women for preferring objectively more attractive men. I know how much hair loss negatively impacts my looks, and I've not been surprised that people treat me differently when my hair is buzzed as opposed to when it's grown out. I've gotten nothing but negative comments with a buzzed look.
There is nothing to be jaded about here. Like any of you would have considered a bald/ing woman before you experienced hair loss yourself...

and therein is why this is so damn difficult. For me, anyway.

Like I've said, when I started to actually give a damn about my appearance some years back, it made a world of difference - especially with women. I could actually look at myself in the mirror and honestly say "Hey, I'm actually pretty good looking. Clear skin, good teeth, symmetry and I like my jaw" and the kinds of women I used to only lust over seemed to think so too.

So you get used to a higher "standard", right? Then...you can't get that standard anymore and it's all boiling down to this thing that's out of your control. Now, you're faced with having to lower your standards and go for less attractive women than you were with before.

I still can't come to terms with that - so it's either keep taking care of myself and jump at the chance to use these future techs to get back to where I was, or possibly wind up dating Lindsay Lohand forever.

I did once, and I learned the hard way that even balding women are picky as f***. Only men are supposed to lower their standards, it seems, since even balding, ugly or half-deformed women want only the best.

It's unfortunate, but that's how it is. Society isn't going to change any time soon, in fact it's probably only going to get worse. The only real hope we have is that of a cure coming in the near future.

Nothing is gonna come out in the near future. We all know this.

Oh well. There's always the chemical castration/transgender route as a last line of defense :confused:

P.S. finasteride & Min is a very poor combo when you start to bald young. Despite that I can't get many people here to agree with me, but the earlier your baldness starts the more aggressive treatments you need.
I started @ 19, I'm on finasteride Min and Keto, hasn't done sh*t but slowed it down (barely). minoxidil helped me regrow but I'm losing that again so it's useless.

My hair loss isn't particularly fast, it's just very...resistant. To top that off I have to leave Propecia due to sides and then f*** knows if a topical-only regimen is ever going to suffice.
