Women 'spurn men going thin on top'

[ANDREW_J_I]

Women looking for love on dating websites are five times more likely to contact men with a full head of hair than those who are thinning on top, a study said.
A two-month experiment, conducted on behalf of hair loss treatment specialists Maximum Hair, posted two profiles on a variety of popular internet forums.
The photographs used were of the same man - except one was doctored to show him thinning on top and the other with a full head of hair.

Same as men would pick the girl with the biggest tits... but that doesn't mean women without big tits are unattractive now does it?

Also, read how the study was done. They photoshopped a picture of a guy with hair so he would appear bald. Those photoshopped pictures always look bizarre and off-putting. The study was also funded by a company treating hairloss. Ridiculous pseudo-science to prove their point. Who cares.

Why do guys try to equate a woman's bust size with a man's hairline? They are like apples and oranges, IMO. A more appropriate comparison would be a women's breast size compared to a man's shlong size. There really is no direct comparison on a woman to a man's hairloss. That's one of the things that makes hairloss so awkward - the fact that women don't generally go bald and men do. Persoanlly, I also think most men could care less about the size of a woman's breast. As long as they're present and accounted for. :woot:

Point taken! but remember this is a poll where people are only judging on facial characteristics ...guys with bad hair or two chins or moles or whatever aren't going to come off too well

Anyway this is one of those threads on here that are really counter-productive..to use another analogy its like we're all drowning and the original poster is describing the water.

Very true. But, my money would be on the guy getting dumped in the next 6 months. It would be interesting to see if they are still together in 6 months. I bet not. If the chick is that concerned about it, it must obviously bother her. He will get dumped, and she will give him some excuse (other than his hairloss)becuase she doesn't want the guilt trip of hurting the guy's feelings. I bet this crap happens to bald guys all around the world every minute of every day.

Then, the guy will join this forum and post in the "impact of hairloss" section for the next decade as his Norwood goes to infinity! :mrgreen:

I think that guy should dump her first. That would really insult her lol and make her question her own worth.

When I was with my ex gf, I told her I was thinning. It was no big deal, she said she doesn't care.

A female friend of mine was telling me that her bf is going bald and that he didn't take it very well. I could tell it wasn't a deal breaker for her. She was happy with the guy, and his hair didn't really matter that much to her...

Here you go. I've just given you two examples of gfs not caring about hairloss.

I actually think most women don't age as well as men. I know it sounds horrible, but after giving birth their body is different. So, a woman that is after the perfect hair doesn't know what waiting her around the corner. She will age very quickly in her 30s and 40s.

For those complaining, ask yourself this. Would you date a bald woman? Have you dated a bald woman? I'm betting the answer is either NO OR you say yes but are talking out of your ***.

How about women that are unattractive?

The irony here is guys calling women superficial. Yet the guys wants nice looking women themselves.

I agree on the second part, but I dont agree with the first part. The female equivalent of us going bald isn't them being bald. I don't know what the most suitable analogy would be.

Sorry man but i dont agree with you on that one. Why? because hairloss is mostly a masculine trait and its part of most men at some point in there lives. Putting things in that logic is like asking a women would you date a man with fully grown female breasts (not man boobs).

How about women that are unattractive?

I cant fully agree on that one either but maybe i am different than most men. Not every single girlfiend i have has been what most would consider attractive. Personality does it for me. Now i will agree i am more inclined to look at someone who is attractive more than non attractive but that doesnt mean i would always value there looks over there personality.

Maybe thats the case for a lot of men on the board in which case you've got a point, but thats not the case with me.

I'm not complaining (on this thread), but YES, I would definitely date a bald woman. I never have, but that's not surprising as there aren't many around. However, if I met a woman I liked who'd lost her hair due to Alopecia Areata, etc., I wouldn't think twice about dating her. In fact, some bald women are actually hot IMO (though I don't have a fetish, or anything - lol). Maybe the reason I would is because I suffer from AA myself, though it's stabilized now.

With respect, this is a stupid question. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; what each of us considers 'unattractive' is purely subjective, and individual. To have a sexual relationship with someone you must, by definition, find them attractive, even though they may not be attractive to someone else. However, I would definitely date a woman who was, generally, considered to be average looking (or even worse), if I liked her. In fact I have, and I'm a pretty good looking guy (I'm saying that to make a point, not blow my horn).

Ok, this is the bit where I will complain - lol: I hate this thread because it implies that the main reason for fighting hair loss should be to enhance one's sexual attractiveness. In fact, the main, if not the only, reason should be to feel whole (if that doesn't sound too new ageish), i.e. to look in the mirror and see the person that you are inside (realistically, of course). As long as your reflection is not the real you you'll never really have the self-esteem, confidence and general sense of well-being that is essential to be 100% happy. Sadly, sometimes in life people have to accept less than 100% happiness, e.g. the paraplegic who'll never walk again, and they just have to make the most of what they've got left. But if you can get everything you want, even if it involves a certain amount of effort, it's stupid not to go for it!

Came here to post this news too . Heard it from the radio yesterday. My mood has been zero since then ...
(This forum should have more negative mood forwarding smiles.)

I'd like to say this study is wrong, but I have tried online dating myself and had no luck whatsoever. The weird thing is that in real life I always attract women. I figured I'd have even more success online, but it's been the opposite. I posted my picture on Yahoo Answers and asked if my looks were holding me back in online dating. All of the replies were 'you're good looking, but not my type'.

I think the problem is that there's more competition online. Women are looking for their perfect match, and in the majority of cases that means a man with hair. The difference in bars and clubs is that the women are less picky, or there's just less men to choose from. My advice to any young bald/balding man is to go looking for dates in the real world. You don't stand a chance online until you're older.

when it comes to women and dating, this is a bigger factor than having or not having hair

I agree dating online is a joke. It doesnt show your overall attractiveness like personality. Your up against a lot of odds where its mostly images you can see and nothing much else. I've seen better than average looking guys have little success on them sites.

Body parts are not as important as your profile, and will never be. *** and tits are more like stimulators than anything as far as sex goes.

Although I agree with you, it is generally easier to look more delicate and appealing in society as a women. You have the less potent androgen running in your blood.

As such, it is not a surprise that some women to not marry out of physical attraction. That percentage of women believe that not all men can look like manga f@gs, and those men will likely have disguisting body and facial hair, and have either short hair or miniaturization i.e. androgenic alopecia. It may be they couldn't be with better looking guys or they just aim for the unfortunate ones due to their caring nature. Those women will likewise, give those men the sex they need in exchange for the men's commitment towards them. This obviously isn't the vast majority of women in the U.S., and I'm not saying it should be this way.

I've always thought the male sex drive in humans across the globe was generally higher than the female's, could it be because of society and environmental reasons I'm not sure, and I'm not sure if biologically a man's sex drive is typically higher. If so it's not a surprise women view sex as a great gift they're giving to men (talking about married couples).

As unfortunate as it is, this is not new news. I think it is fairly representative of a bald man's chance at finding love, online or off. It is just so typical that a woman will say personality counts only after they have been wooed by the attraction. Completely conditional, they want to have their cake and eat it too.
