Can barely understand a word thry say in parts but the interesting thing is their surprise that they did better with girls after shaving their heads.

They thought they themselves looked weird bald (but not each other - "yours looks gangster bro"), yet the girls apparently responded well to it.

Meh, I'll never believe that anyone will get a better response to a shaved head. I didn't even click on it.

By FAR the hottest girls i've ever pulled were with a completely shaved head. One was model beautiful (blonde, blue eyes,slim, from the Netherlands). The other was American and just plain hot. There were girls who didn't respond to that look but the quality of the ones i did get (looks wise) was higher.

Do you have **** hair? I'm not trying to be cynical, but some people do. I remember a guy on here recently, might have been the Success Stories forum, but he had this awful wirey brown/ginger hair, and he looked like an average plain dude, when he shaved it, he looked better, he had a good forehead shape, small-ish head, and his facial features suddenly sprung out.

OK I'll say that it's very unlikely that a guy with a shaved head will do better than with hair, so you're very lucky. And if this is the case, did you grow it back? If so, why?

Now I've actually watched the video. jd this was supposed to prove something? It's more lame than Fred posting his wiki stub articles from a book that nobody can find.

Not sh*t hair no. I probably look objectively 'prettier' with hair but more masculine without. It is very 'fine' though (naturally - always has been). I kept it for years but i shave it again now because it's easier for me to deal with. I didn't like waking up with a messy, receded hairline or thinking about how obvious the bald spot was. Having it shaved now feels like a massive relief. Now i wake up looking the same way as when i went to bed and i don't think or obsess about it (i have a bit of OCD so asymmetry bothers me but when i shave it this doesn't matter). If i sleep with a woman then i don't need to worry about what my hair looks like in the morning. It feels more masculine to me.

Not prove anything, they sound like dumb kids...only to demonstrate their surprise when they actually realise they did better with girls shaved than with hair. Many girls respond to the bold move of shaving your head and that's what they found.

This whole thing is just too funny, throughout:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVgLzSt6ztE

If you want a summary of how it goes, skip to 14:30, when he thinks he's about to hug a girl who likes him.

I got about 1 minute in and was bored. Yeah it's stupid. I just found their 'wait, women don't think i'm horrific now i'm bald?' reaction funny.

The only pick up type guy i respect who is bald is this guy...he's the one who posted himself getting girls numbers with a grown out horseshoe.

https://youtu.be/IlMEKp1DGv4

Notice the girl at 2.35. It's so often men that think balding is this terrible thing and not the women.

I'm confused, what was the point of this topic?

You really didn't, but it would have been easier if you just explained it in that last post.

"I just found their 'wait, women don't think i'm horrific now i'm bald?' reaction funny." More than this, that they say they did better while bald.

If you're to take a point from it, it's that having a completely shaved head isn't the end of dating/attraction that people on here like to make out it is. Even for the very young guys.

Ah OK, so in that case I revert back to this being as useless as Fred or cocohot posting "scientific research" from a wiki stub based on a book nobody can find. Your original video was two guys talking about how great they did that night, am I right? And going home together on the bus.

jd you are becoming a deterrent to what I really want to see on here, a balanced view of both negative and positive views on baldness without bias. And this topic shows a lot of bias. Look into the video and it's creators next time.

I'm sorry jd but you're as deluded as Fred if you think this video means anything. Listen to how aggressively this bald guy asks them questions about liking bald guys while he holds the camera, what else are they going to say? And the girl at 2:35 seems weird.

Worst insult ever. Ha.

I disagree slightly, although obviously asking is not as conclusive as seeing him actually pick girls up (other vids). Plus, I love his attitude.

In what way is she weird? She seems very genuine in her 'we were actually just discussing this'. I've come to realise that more men worry about balding and think badly of it than most women do. Most of them seem genuine actually, especially the ones who talk about their bald bf's and ex's.

I would disregard this as immaterial, particularly because of sample and confirmation bias. There aren't just material flaws in the analysis (using an isolated study based on live video testimony. bear in mind that when a camera is in front of you, you are more than likely to alter your opinion in favor of maintain political correctness. (behavioral tendencies found unilaterally in bare basis questionnaires as an example).

As I've done throughout, I think that you are doing an essential disservice to the younger cohort of folks in suggesting that balding in an assert because it worked for you. Blanketed statements are immaterial to the broader scope because they are insufficient in sample size, and are tailored specifically to the individual. Some folks might value their hair infinitely more than another, and some won't care at all. (I have colleagues that are on both sides of the aisle. The former would likely progress to clinical depression if indeed he went through progressively worsening balding, while the latter voluntarily kept his head buzzed since he was young, so it was never really an issue of materiality when he was progressing through the process.

I'm of the belief that the extremities aren't always the prudent. Yes, balding ceteris paribus will adversely affect opportunities within the dating league circles, and spontaneous coitus percolation. However, it doesn't preclude these folks from getting married, having healthy relationships, and pursuing and progressing through life. Identity loss and societal stigma are often more difficult to overcome in magnitude than is the thought of getting over the absence of dead keratin on top of your head. As well all react differently and hold different valuations on the intrinsic value of our follicles, it is much more appropriate to remit to the individuals, and leave them to decide what they wish to do. If they want to do everything in their power to keep their hair? excellent. If they want to go your route? That's fine as well. However, there is no blanket statement that works as a one size fit all.

Yeah, and they all seem to have the same answer: "Just shave it, brah's!", without ever having to face the situation (or consequences) of doing so themselves, of course.
I will say this till I'm blue in the fuqking face: Some guys (quite a lot) do NOT suit the shaved head look, and will look hideous once they shave it.
These women will automatically turn their noses up at these unfortunate head shaped men, while still sprouting the "Just shave it" mantra.

You cant blame some men for attempting SOME sort of a combover.
Maybe a slight come forward/over. And even resorting to wearing a cap on a windy day.
Because in the long run we are doing these b****s a favor by NOT offending them with our ugly alien shaped (shaved) heads that they will definitely find displeasing.

Anyway.. These women have the privilege of ignorance on their side, so what can ya do. They will never understand it.

I'd concur somewhat. There is a far more trenchant impact on the psyche of an individual dealing with hair loss than any external factor pertaining to social perceptions. As someone dealing with hair loss you'd find that there will be certain women who might consider it as being a deal-breaker. Nevertheless, there will still be others might find the shaved look as being extremely attractive.

Keep in mind that all women would like to be seen with an attractive guy. However, their perception of what constitutes being attractive is decidedly different.

As someone who has observed the dating game closely; I can attest to the fact that even if you are someone who is lacking in terms of looks then you can still get the job done. Gabriel D'Annunzio is a fine example of how exactly this can be accomplished.

Besides, a buddy of mine who has had the most success with women is a bald, short and fat bloke who happens to be blessed with a silver tongue. He's 5'6 and I am 6'2 but I can't still score the kind of women he does.

Sorry, what? Where have I made a blanket statement like 'bald is always an asset"? That would be a blanket statement. I haven't. What I've done is provided many counter examples and also broken down and provided many counter arguments to the genuine blanket statements on here which relate to balding being a looks killer and looks being 'the only thing that matters'.

Essentially, I'm adding some persepctive for the younger, new and more impressionable guys here so that they don't go believing the nonsense spouted by certain posters and get themsves into a mindset of thinking their dating lives, or even their lives are over without hair. Because nothing could be further from the truth.

Until i shaved my head quite recently again, I'd grown used to my appearance with hair. The anxieties of what i would look like bald or if i shaved it all off were way, way more scary than the reality, which is actually not bad at all. Do i like like some beautiful male model? No. Do i give a f*ck? No. I didn't look like one with hair anyway and even if i had then so what. I have lots of aspects to me both physical and non physical which are attractive to women and no hair loss can change that. This goes for many other guys out there who are wasting precious life time in worrying about balding and negative thinking.
