Not realy into body hair eithr. That's one thing that turns me on about the Korean guys. Can you say Sphynx? Meeeeeeeeeeow!

[swetepete]

Ummm...isn't a Sphinx half man, half pusssy-cat?

haha, just kidding, I know they all proved their manhood in the army and stuff. Hell, if I was as pretty as a pretty Korean boy, I'd primp and preen too. I'd be a lemonade boy in a NY minute. Everybody knows the girls flock to that stuff! But hey, you can't make a silk ear of a sow's purse right? I gotta go with what I've been dealt.

Sigh...masculine face it is, then...

Princess likes pretty boys and she's welcome to them. Me, I'm not up for daily disputes over the mirror.

Bald, balding, or greying- not a big deal really. Insecurity because of it is pretty unappealing though. Embrace it! The only real no no is a comb over, because they don't fool anyone and never ever look good.

I just think it's silly when a guy starts going bald and tries to hide it. But they're never fooling anyone. Embrace it. Maybe just go ahead and shave it. I generally don't care what a dude's hair looks like as long as it's washed on a regular basis.

I'm speaking as a bald guy here. I first noticed I was losing my hair when I was 25. It bothered the hell out of me, especially since it was happening to me so young. But at the time, I was engaged and thought my fiancee awould accept it. Her discouraging remarks didn't help. "You're losing your hair! And soon you will have no hair!" Talk about a confidence booster...NOT!

When we broke up, I was devastated because I thought it would kill my chances of finding someone else. Quite honestly, it didn't help me any. I mean, my ex wasn't that attractive to begin with and this was a girl I got with hair...what would I attract with no hair?

I was single for three years. Then I met my last ex who actually liked bald guys (and there are that many!) with the shaved head (she had a thing for Vin Diesel and Morris from 24). She embraced it and loved it. Unfortunately, we recently broke up and I'm at the same point again.

I'll be 30 in a few months and most of my hair has left me. I shave it all off not because I like the look, but because I want to look as best I can with what I have (or don't have). I'd be an idiot to let it grow a bit because it would look like I'm 10-15 years older than I really am (when I had hair, people thought I was still in my teens). Aside from being follicularly challenged, I think I'm a reasonably attractive guy. I exercise regularly and eat good, so I'm pretty slim and have a decent body. But I mean, c'mon, hair is one of the first things people look at and I can't deny I was much better looking when I had my hair (and I used to have really great hair).

Yeah, I think it does matter and it affects us a lot, especially our self-esteem. I don't know one bald or balding guy who would choose to be this way or is happy they're balding. Comparing my dating circumstances before and after I started losing my hair, I can't deny that I met more women before I went bald. Certainly, more would approach me. Sure, I'm older now, but my face hasn't aged that much since then. And as guys, it really builds our self-esteem (some might call ego) when we have girls desire us. When we don't have that, we feel useless. Hair helps us.

Guys can be superficial when it comes to looks, so we can't expect women not to be the same, especially with the huge female beautification industry. It's only fair. And hair is an important initial feature that women look at.

I also strongly believe that hair matters in the career world. I'm not an ESL teacher, so I don't know how appearance affects how you guys look for jobs. I work in finance. Appearance matters in my field. The last two months, I've been looking for a new job with a bigger company. I've had lots of interviews and I thought most of them went pretty well, but hardly any offers. And I noticed the first thing people looked at was the top of my head instead of looking me straight in the eye. One of my friends told me I should grow my hair out instead of shaving it to look more "professional". My response was that I had none to grow!

So, ladies, we guys have the same hangups about our appearance too. Women are concerned about their weight and cup size. They can change both. Guys really don't have much choice when it comes to baldness. If it runs in the family, you're doomed and your self-esteem goes with it. Not to mention that none of those produces (Rogane and Propecia) work that well. Rogane only grows peach fuzz and Propecia just keeps what you have (and it only lasts a few years) plus it causes bad sexual side effects. Sure, we can get hair transplant surgery, but it's crazy expensive and some of the procedures look pretty bad when you're finished.

[Wondering]

Bald looks great on a guy who takes care of himself (eats right, exercises, etc.)--then it's just one more thing about him that is sexy. Bald is just one more negative if the guy is unhealthy, eats junk food all the time, doesn't exercise, etc.

Comb-overs, plugs, etc. are horrible. Having the little ring of hair around the bottom part of your skull makes you look middle-aged, like what's his name on Seinfeld. Which is okay if you ARE middle-aged. But if you aren't, or you want to look younger, just shave it all off.

Body hair. Hmmm...depends. Are we talking hairy legs, arms, chest or fingers, toes, and back as well? Is it light colored fine hair or thick, coarse, black hair? Most importantly, what's the guy who is under all that hair like? And to be truthful, if I were with a really hairy guy, I'd want to be quite lazy about shaving my own leg hair. Yeah, weird, but there you go. I'll shave, pluck, and wax for a guy with little to no hair (genetically, or if he shaves, plucks, and waxes) but I'm more inclined to let nature have its way with me in regards to hair if the guy I'm with is similar. (Not that I grow hair on my back or anything.)

ho hum..... *sob!*

I'm hairy AND balding... (what a combination....)

I guess Princess will never go out with me......

Oh curse my miserable existance....

I have lots of hair (no body hair though), but used to shave shiny bald on a regular basis because I prefer it.

I was never less than shockingly lucky with women when I was bald, back in the States and in Seoul.

Ideally? I love thick, red hair. It instantly gets my attention. Curly hair is adorable. Grey hair can be very distinguished. Shaved heads are dead sexy. Blondes just don't do it for me.

Balding? It really depends on the pattern. A receding hairline just bespeaks maturity to me. A monk-pate on top looks less appealing. I don't mind balding at all. Shaving it generally creates quite a youthful look. Long bangs/fringes just look silly. We can see your forehead gleaming beneath.

As for styling, try not to look like you've put too much of an effort in or you'll look like a dandy. Do get it cut on a fairly regular basis. Don't put so much gel in that it crunches when I touch it.

Thus endeth the lesson.

[mikowee]

How bout a bald nutsack? Sexy or no?

[mole]

[brento1138]

OK girls, short or long hair? What do you prefer? I think Korean girls definitely praise the short hair look. Clean cut or ...?

[rockstarsmooth]

i like boys to have hair long enough to hold on to, but shaved quite short is nice too, i luh-uh-uhve the feel of a freshly shaven (but not bald) head.
the less hair the better below the neck. chest hair is icky, and well, hey, if i can go brazilian, so can the boys!
