the magic number of baldness

[shookwun]

You missed my point: "They might stay with you for other reasons as...but even then, deep inside they will always consider you as a compromise..."

Dating/marrying doesn't have to involve attraction. People are together for a lot of reasons and attraction might or might not be one of them. That's probably one of the least important things, if I might add. Why do you think there are so many miserable men that are not getting any be they in a relationship or a marriage? Have you never had a gf that you were not attracted to but nonetheless stayed with her for awhile?

Our whole life is full compromises, so like I said above, women will take a bald guy for his other qualities -be it money, toned body, etc. However, none will say that she's dating him because he has a beautiful NW7 horseshoe.

Because they are only as faithful as their options at the time.

Well said. I was discussing this in another thread.

Another problem for people who are bald or have very little hair left, is that it's one of the more bigger negatives I feel. It's much harder to overcome and tougher when compared to a guy with hair. Other things like earning less money or not working out will not be such a deal breaker generally. If a bald guy finds real love or a girl willing to settle down and give up chasing, it's okay.

But baldness changes your attraction and how you're perceived in ways other negatives may not. I think unless you're Afro Caribbean it's very hard as a lot of attention/demand will go.

I'd say a good 2 points. 3 or maybe 4 depending on your other supporting features like facial hair, body type and most importantly shape of your head.

they need to test whether women perceive bald men as less attractive in a variety of cultures that had not been exposed to media

that wud help build freds case that its nurture not nature

I've heard women in poorer countries with poor public health prefer masculine men while women in richer countries prefer feminine looking men.

yea true coco. fred is good looking otherwise so that would skew things

they need to make it standardized, with women being shown pics of the same guy with and without hair loss

 

[Exodus2011]

Being tall doesn't help you much, that's just short guys' fantasy. Your face is what matters the most.

I was already bald when I met all the girls I slept or had a relationship with by the way.

yea but ur face is good looking as well

wat rating did u get on hot or not?

how about in real life?

i take the real life rating with a grain of salt tho, since ppl might be biased from knowing you

Ok seems most of us agree of avrage of 2-3 points....
depending on other facial features id say anywere between 1-4 points (at extreme cases)

 

[Notcoolanymore]

1-3 points is realistic. Many guys overate themselves when they say: "I used to be a 10 and now I'm a 3". Reality is that most of these guys weren't as hot as they thought they were.
