Bald DJ's: How much has losing your hair affected attracting women, if any?

[sjm]

I started losing my hair young (early 20's) and I've found that most women tend to be turned off and sometimes repulsed by bald guys. I'm 39 now and women basically don't give me the time of day even though I'm in good shape, dress well etc. Then again, I'm a 5'7" white guy and I see bald black or Latino guys with attractive women all the time so that could be the problem as well as my height.

But basically if you're bald like me, how much, if any, has it affected your success with women?

It's hard to say, really. I've been balding for a decade and started shaving my head with a razor about 5 years ago. I definitely get less looks now, but that might be in part because I'm older. I still get strong initial IOIs from time to time, but they're far less frequent than when I was younger.

I think most women are turned off by bald white guys, but there's not much point in thinking about it since it's out of your control. Do what you can with what you have.

Pairs response was right on point, too.

Perhaps you're not adjusting your style to your baldness. It makes you look (in the best sense for a professional) rugged. So act and dress it. If you had stars in your hair and wore a suit I'm sure you'd get less looks then as well.

I have an hair line similar to bruce willis in hudson hawk plus my hair are thin, big mistake was to but them medium-short.

Right now I allowed them to grow to a medium lenght which helps me to give the illusion of more hair in my head, can also cover the uncovered parts, needless to say I look younger and healthier (sad how an illusion is helping).

Can see girls engaging in eye contact much more often and get more positive reactions from cold approaches, even the girls that know me are more flirty.

But it can be a matter of my self confidence being higher (yeah my hair make me more self confident what a dj heresy) also Im not shaving, I have a 3 days beard and long squared eye brows which give me a rugged look.

Im even dropping pro hormones since hair are as importa as muscules in term of aestetics, wouldnt trade hair for few kgs of muscle more.

Going bald isnt the ideal scenario, but either is being short, having a small penis, being ugly, having somekind of diformity...

But it happens. Im close to bald. Would I like to have a ful head of hair? **** yeah. Id also like a billion dollars.

When im with a chick, I dont give a **** about going bald - I just dont. And because I dont, they find THAT, in itself, attractive. Shine on your good attributes, and they will focus on those (like not giving a **** about going bald).

So, to answer your question: Like someone said, it CAN effect the initial attraction stage, but usually, for me, it doesnt. Nowadays, they see an inner confidence that that full head of hair wanderingman could be lacking at times. My confidence and self assurance shines - more than my bald head.

I've known many mid-30s bald white guys pulling hot chicks, straight out or almost graduating college.

Common things about these guys:

• never caught without a clean shaven head
• built (not skinny), and none of them taller than 6'1. Majority of them have been working out consistently for 10+ years
• no pencil necks or chicken legs
• goatee, bit of a beard or some light stubble
• none of them have 9 to 5 office jobs. Mostly security jobs, firemen, entrepeneurs and self-employed craftsmen
• social but not loud or boasting "sales" type of guys (never talking too fast or exaggerating a lot)
• mostly rocking casual outfits

I usually get to know these guys when I workout in the morning throughout the week. So far, every gym I went to had a few of these guys. Nobody bothers them except the occasional new hot chick.

I'm not bald, but my hairline isn't what it used to be. I'm 34 but look younger than a lot of twenty-something guys. In the last 4 years I put on some clean weight so now I'm 210lbs at 12% BF, and I'm just scared by the increasing number of 17 year old girls flirting and following me around this year. (Where were they when I was 18?!)

Anyway, I'm getting ready to go bald forever once I reach 220lbs. I think it's better to start shaving it before I really start balding.

When people talk about being bald here, I always think of this one balding guy I know, he has one of the prettiest wives I know of. Fairly stocky fellow, social without overdoing it (some guys who are very social come off as pandering to me). I always thought of him as an example of being bald not making a difference.

However, I recently found out that his wife has cheated on him, on more than one occasion. I don't think that has anything to do with him being bald though, probably more to do with her having a lot of options since she's such a looker.

I not not fully bald , but baldeness is a sign of aging , so youthful people stay away from bald people in general . so yes it will affect you if you are doing cold approach or want instant attraction from the girl .
I would suggest to either shave it all or do hair transplant ( which I am going to do ) .
if you check the most common thing between actors and models you will see the magorty of them are not bald , they are every thing else except bald .
