height or hair?

[slipy]

im 5'8 and im sorta ok with that but i wouldn't want to be any shorter not even for hair.

 

[PabloMajid]

Short hair is best for short people. Long hair makes the head and body to appear as one piece because it hides your neck and shoulder. So always have short hair if you want to look taller.

 

[Ori83]

not tall here, 1.8m but still id like to see how it works for a short guy with nw1, i think he still can beat a nw6 tall guy.

 

[Jockson]

I'm 6'3 and I'd rather be perfect NW1 and 5'9. Probably not shorter than that though.

 

[Lead Farmer]

Definitely the hair. Unless you are 5'3" or less you will find a lot of women around your height or shorter than you.

Just look at celebrities: Tom Cruise is 5'7" and he can get pretty much any woman in the world (even chicks way taller than him :laugh:

Brendan Fraser is 6'3" and if he didn't cover this up or treat it (not sure what he did):

He wouldn't have a chance with 1/100th of the women Cruise could get with nothing more than a smile.

On TV you can't judge the height, and most people don't even know if you're tall or short. If the short actor is shown in TV, all focus is on face, and therefore hair, or on the muscular body. On the street, women would have thought that Cruise is a shorty and that he isn't even THAT attractive (if he wasn't famous of course).

 

[Jockson]

I don't think Fraser is considered to be near as attractive as Cruise so it's kind of an unfair comparison. How about 5'7 Cruise vs 6'3 bald Cruise? Which one would be more attractive in real life?

 

[Man in Space]

Much better comparison Maystor, and I reckon 6ft 3 bald cruise would do better, but then, perhaps im biased, as I actually think in that pic at least he looks better.

Ive never found one woman who finds cruise attractive by the way.

Im 6'3 Norwood 2 forming an NW3 pattern, Im nearly 30 so I dont want a NW1 as I think its not really age appropriate, I would however love a solid NW2 and I have to say I wouldnt want to go below 6ft to get that.

Hypothetical thoughts on trading an aspect of ones physical feature(especially if that feature is a positive) for hair serves no purpose.Having hair on top of your head should be a given.Humans are supposed to have hair on their head,thus it is not morally wrong,selfish,egotistical etc to want what nature designed.
Sacrificing a positive physical trait(in this instance,height) should not even be in question.Hair is natural,thus not having it,is unnatural.
BTW,no I wouldn't trade my height for having hair,nor should I have too./want too/need too

Haha this is all very true seb, this is certainly an abstract question, but I cant deny I do find it interesting to see how different people place a premium upon their own attributes. It is an interesting topic to me because I think our perceptions of what are important are often very different to how other people would gauge them and thus our perceptions of ourself are very often out of kilter with how we are perceived by others.

For what its worth, my main frustration about receding is that I like you cant get over the fact that there should be hair there! I am considering a hair transplant, and I dont consider it cosmetic, Is that strange? What I mean is, i would never dream of considering any surgery, say to get rid of wrinkles or even to change the face, chin, jaw, nose etc. I also dont like it when women have fake boobs for cosmetic reasons. I just think that hair is not like that, it should be there!

 

[Man in Space]

Fortunate that you look great with the look then exodus hey!!

Do you know what, we all say no homo, but I will say yes :gay2:

But seriously no homo

or do i mean yes??

No

....

 

[CaptainForehead]

I would prefer to be 6'3 and NW5/6

Being tall and imposing, you bypass the cultural bias against baldness in many many women, the whole alpha male thing. They cant help it.

 

[fodandahalf]

I would definitely not give up my height for hair. Height is not only cosmetically pleasing, but actually useful. I don't think I'd give up any other positive cosmetic features for hair though. For example, I wouldn't make my eyes duller, nose more bulbous etc. I suppose I'd give a up toe for it, but that's it.

 

[Man in Space]

Hope this isnt uncouth, not laughing at the notion of impotence, just laughing at the appreciation of a well delivered line!

:laugh:

Ahhhhhh so u do enjoy ur height eh seb?

Yea . . . . Unfortunatel u and ucman are right. People laugh at bald guys all the time and do consider it a strong negative (if u domt fit the look that is)

Being 6 2"-6 3" is nothing out of the ordinary nowadays...there are plenty of guys that height,or above.However what seperates me from most males,is I have good height AND a decent build,thus combined with the shaved/bald head,I am percieved as "big".This still doesn't stop people laughing at me,and giving looks of disdain.

Yeah,but unfortunately it attracts the wrong type of women,the ones who like a bit of rough.Thats ok if you are looking for a casual relationship(usually based on physical),or one-night stands,but if you are looking for a serious relationship,then being "tall and imposing" tends to scare away women with a bit of integrity.

If having a transplant will help you mentally,emotionally,and spiritually,then it is your choice.Why should you suffer from an affliction that is not you're fault.

 

[Man in Space]

Haha thats how im rationalising it to myself!

 

[Man in Space]

Im in the top 4%!!

unk:

Just realised how revealing about myself it is that I instinctively assumed 'top' 4%

Is that competition innate or socially conditioned, because I cant deny it is obviously there

 

[Man in Space]

strangely enough, i was at the military base and there a lot of guys shorter than me :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

made me feel good yo

yea but i made the original post cuz i was thinking i have two choices-

WHITE WOMAN-get kids with good height
ASIAN WOMAN-get kids with good hair

dam, decisions decisions

Maybe height is a status thing, Id never really considered it before to be honest, I always forget that im taller than people but every now and then people will point it out to me or I see a photo and I become conscious that I really am physically more imposing then people around me. So that experience you had at the military I basically live like my whole life.

I am also amused about the way you are planning your wife based on who will be the best genetic vessel for your seed, thats not very romantic!
