Has anyone said you look good sexy bald?

[resu]

The only way a bald guy can look "cool" is with the shaved head/beard stubble/tan/aviator glasses combo.

For girls, look at new boyfriends, what kind of guys they end up with when they go out, what kind of photos they post as their dream guys et.c.

Your speaking for yourself here im afraid. Like I mentioned before I'm already in a relationship with a very very good looking woman who could easily have her pick of these "dream guys" who you are referring too.

For anyone to even suggest that baldness is socialy unacceptable is quite outrageous, especially in this day and age.

The place where people here feel the disregard for baldness worst is in the dating scene, which you being in a committed relationship are obviously not going to experience to any meaningful degree. And surely, if you feel so confident in her attractiveness you wouldn't mind posting some pictures here? Would be a small price to pay for your chance to lecture us on how the world works, based on your sample of one.

I and others here have gone from slick bald to having hair and noticed considerable differences in how people treat us. Polls, social science experiments and other research has mostly backed up our intuitive understanding of the situation we're in.

As for the rest of your post, you now just seem like you are trolling. Again, if you really are arguing in good faith here, just observe the girls who say bald is sexy whatever and see what kind of guys they end up with. You'll be surprised.

Far from trolling. I met my girlfriend when I was bald and also have had flings in the past when I had a slick bald head. I see bald men every week when im out in bars with pretty girls, its only an issue if you make it one. Girls will sence your insecurities and run a mile.

In my opinion you are being rather disrespectfull to girls, maybe the majority prefer hair but your acting as if 100% of female population wouldn't go for bald guys.

I'm here to shed (no pun intended) a little bit of positivity, a little bit of hope to bald guys that dating is not as big a problem as they think.

That dude is most likely on roids looking at his physique. I don't think there is anything wrong with that, but IMO doing a cycle is not a trivial thing and can have legal repercussions. We had a sting operation here a few years ago which busted a lot of users.

We've seen in polls and informal internet conversations that most women find a guy with great hair and toned, defined muscles more attractive than a huge bald guy. The people who tend to find big, bulky physiques attractive like that in the picture are mostly men. Like the signature of Notcoolanymore (?) says: Women want the hunk, not the hulk. So if this guy was normal-sized, in shape and had nice hair, he would likely be much more successful than he currently is.

There is also the problem that looks like that have limited utility. I work in a stuffy, formal environment with corporate clients and you simply cannot rock a physique like that and expect to be taken seriously in any way. The mark of success in my industry is a tall, toned and slender build with full hair slicked back. Anything that deviates from that is loserish to some degree.

Finally someone who really gets it, only a few people on here like that. Also how many bald people on the street have that physique and that face that suits baldness relatively? Most bald people look like ****. As you say, that compensation look is better than nothing but very very limited. Problem is, on this site some can't see the big picture or don't want to.

 

[diffuse2007]

obviously the ideal thing would be to have hair but what i am trying to say is looking like that is better than nothing and i don't think very many women are going to find him unattractive. Not everyone can look like that but i think all bald guys should aim for something similar instead of looking like they haven't been sexually active in years, no wonder women are repulsed they are probably thinking of some slob with a grown out horseshoe when they think of a bald guy.

At the end of the day everyone looks better with hair but if that is no longer an option then doing this is better than nothing.

If by big picture you mean the importance of looks for things other than scoring HB9s in bars then yes this forum can get myopic at times.

The "shave it, get huge" responses are quite insidiuous in my opinion. As are the ritual chants about "confidence". Any major change in appearance is an implicit change of your life's trajectory. The worse you comply with the visual expectations attached to the life you want and the roles you seek to play in the lives of others, the harder you will have to work to compensate. Any action you take is interpreted through the mental shortcuts and reinforced stereotypes associated with your look.

So if you want to work as a bouncer or a security guard, you should definitely get slick and huge immediately since that will fit perfectly with people's expectations for people in those professions. However, it is a really really bad idea if you want to be considered a good candidate for management positions in the kind of corporate setting I am in.

That's exactly it. I have a professional health related job and attend conferences, presentations and so forth. Usually walking through London you will see people who are "doing well" in terms of high end social/work circle. They ALL have hair. Maybe some recession for the 30-40 year olds but that's it. The look is a nice hairstyle, dressed smart, bodyweight exercise type of lean body. Being good looking is key but even if you're not, having the other traits helps you blend in to an extent. I think you also mentioned earlier maybe that the lean look is something you have noticed too.

None of the bald people on here would blend in nor have a chance with any of these kind of girls.

I am glad you understand. You seem very intelligent too. Are you in Finance?

 

[diffuse2007]

You guys seem way to emotionally invested to make a clear judgment on this.Obviously having hair is better but there are bald men who are attractive.Do you think hair is all it takes to be good looking? i see ugly guys with full heads of hair everyday. You think bald guys cant get good jobs?

I think no matter what anyone tells you your not gonna change your minds as you think you know what it's like to be bald when in fact your not. I know guys that are bald that get good quality women but they don't have the average poor baldy attitude. You guys act as if a head full of hair is all that you need to get girls. You can look at bull**** study's and all that but it doesn't mean anything. Women say they want a nice guy all the time but instead they hook up with the douchebag,so a women says she doesn't like bald guys but if a bad *** bald mother****er comes along shes gonna sleep with him period.

Not at all, I had to study for close to a decade since 16 to do what I do. Especially including exams on the job. It doesn't matter if you look like elephant man or bald as long aas you pass the exams. What I mean is you no longer fit in the way you did before socially with the cooler more educated girls. Of course a bald guy can get girls, it's not the point and never will be! Hair is not all it takes to be good looking, but if you're good looking and your hair is going (me), then it is life changing and loss of identity.

That "bad a$$ bald guy" who is really big and has the bald ape like face that looks good, well he will only be getting a certain type of girl usually. As the guy above said, we all know bouncers with buzzed/slick head get some girls due to their status on the door. Same with a very rich bald guy. These things don't really prove anything as it's not my lifestyle nor my desire.

When you say nice guy v douche bag it's usually suck up good looking man with hair versus an alpha with hair that also looks good btw.

What is your family history like? I only ask because you mentioned you only have a receding hairline in your late 20s and that is usually normal.If you have diffuse thinning behind the hairline then that's a different story.

Full hair Mums side Norwood 1-2 max, maybe some recession but that's pushing it. Baldness is rampant on Dad's side, although his own cousins have hair. My father has lost a lot of hair but he had late onset baldness. Full hair until late 30's then it was gone by early 40s. I don't have his pattern at all.

I have pictures up. Some minor crown thinning and mainly frontal loss. It's not too bad yet but you never know with male pattern baldness. Normally they say by your late 20s you know what you're heading for, but not always!

 

[diffuse2007]

Doesn't sound too bad, my father was nw7 at 25 and i have his pattern and the ironic thing is no balding at all in his mothers side and no balding at all on my mothers side.The derm i saw made it clear to me that you inherit the gene from your mothers side and that there is nothing i can do about it. If i hadn't listened to his advice i would have started treatment over 1 year earlier and would have a lot more hair.

 

[Wolf Pack]

Have you started using finasteride? Can buy you a decade maybe more. That derm is buying into a rumour, you can inherit it from both sides. What's your Norwood currently and any progress or is it too early?

Yes I have no idea whose pattern I have but it does seem slow, my dad's brother has never treated his, he is like 3V maybe a bit more. It looked like mine may be slow like that but you can't predict these things even in your late 20s. There is always that few % chance you might get a big attack later on.

Maintaining the middle bridge between the crown and front is key for transplants to give you fullish hair.

 

[diffuse2007]

I am using dutasteride,ru,minoxidil,nizoral and tricomin. I am sure i posted these pics up before but if you haven't seen them here they are. My hair looks a bit better than in the pic at the moment and i nearly have full coverage. Not to bad for such bad genes.

my baseline at 19 and six months later

 

[Wolf Pack]

Oh man. I remember seeing this but forgetting it's you. I can't enlarge them well on the phone but I have seen then. Massive change! I have seen no real regrowth, i'm on finasteride for the past 6-7 months that's it. I will wait until the year mark before changing. I think minoxidil is key for a lot of people as far as regrowth is concerned, was it for you? For receders it's harder for us to regrow.

 

[diffuse2007]

finasteride is all you need, i started on the big 3 the first 3months a had good results and if i can have good results on the big 3 then that's overkill for you lol.

 

[Wolf Pack]

True but not only is your result pretty rare, you also had plenty of thin hairs to work. You're right though finasteride is all I need to maintain. But I want to improve my hairline with a transplant if possible. I may have to add in dutasteride once a week or use minoxidil. Ideally no topicals in my regimen.

 

[diffuse2007]

dutasteride will not regrow much more than finasteride. Your best best would be to add tricomin spray or minoxidil or both. I know you said you don't like topicals but tricomin grows about as much hair as 2% minoxidil and is easy as hell to use. And it dries about as fast as water.

Thanks for the tips. I have never researched tricomin but will do. I used a lasercomb for like 10 weeks once, was rubbish. I found a case review of one patient where dutasteride was added in once a week and caused a remarkable change to someone just on 1 mg finasteride daily. But you're right, things like this are probably not likely.

Also I didn't do anything for my hair loss for like 4 years, so the follicles may be shot permanently lol.
