Keep friends and date women who don't care about such unimportant things, you'll be happier in the end and not have to deal with fake people. |

I'm currently thinning badly and it is somewhat obvious that to younger women I'm not as attractive as I was before. Especially in South Korea.
On the other hand my gf doesn't care and many older women (late 20's early 30's) don't either.
If you meet a girl that says "I can't date balding men" you probably don't want to be dating her anyway. I've dated younger girls (early mid 20s) in the past with this type of mentality and they were absolutely terrible people. |

what, they have dicks? 
there's a difference between dating beause you love the girl and dating for meaningless sex. In those times, whatever the lure is, make sure to take care of it.  |

I think you have to be careful here. Those girls may be terrible people but just because a girl doesn't find bald men attractive doesn't necessarily make her a bad person. Don't let's have one rule for guys and one rule for girls. If you, as a guy, can honestly hold your hand up and say you would happily date a woman with all the physical features society deems unattractive these days ( overweight, a moustache, warts, BO, acne, unsightly moles, crooked teeth, big nose etc...) then you can truly say you think beauty comes from within and make us all feel guilty. If, on the other hand, you get turned off by one of the above you're really no better than those girls you're having a go at.

^ Oh god, late twenties and thirties is "older women" now? 
In any case, as long as the OP is a man, I would also say, don't worry- if you find a good gal, she'll love you no matter what. I personally wouldn't care and I'm not even an "older woman" yet
But this may not be the advice you're looking for and I certainly *can* understand it might not be the greatest feeling in the world to lose your hair at a young age. Don't do anything too crazy though and if you're gonna do any serious procedures, research the heck out of it. I would do it back home if I were you... |

Ah, the vanity of youth...
How I wish I were a mod so I could go through this entire thread and switch all of the masculine pronouns to feminine, and vice versa. How awesome would it be if it said this instead:

Anyway, don't worry, OP, most women aren't that shallow. They'll love you for the size of your wallet, not the size of your mullet.  |

+1 Absolutely.
We're all shallow. The imperative to find a mate is not similar but exactly, one and the same, the imperative to perpetuate one's species.
Therefore attractiveness is important.
But unless there is something physically really wrong with you (balding is totally normal and very common, don't let anyone tell you otherwise), then your personality will play a very big role in taking "initial, maybe attraction" to "take me home, daddy!"
Believe me, I'm not that ugly. Some find me handsome. But my personality rots with the stench of a thousand dead fish on a hot, humid day.
Don't underestimate the importance of personality in attraction, don't underestimate your own shallowness, and don't let your hair negatively effect your confidence. |

Yoja Did you actually read what people wrote here?
A guy implied some women were shallow for judging men on their appearance only and I (as a guy) defended women by pointing out that men do the same kind of thing.
Then , in a fit of some strange kind of weird feminism, you took both of our posts and substituted 'guy' for 'girl' and vice versa and then said women aren't shallow as they are only interested in money anyway.
My advice is, if you're going to get on your high horse about something, don't do it as soon as you get back from the pub

Well said and I would also say to young bald(ing) guys
Don't fall into the trap of getting hitched to the first woman that comes along after you start seriously losing your hair. I've seen this loads of times with guys in their late twenties/early thirties, who latch on to the first half decent woman who comes along at this crisis point in their lives, thinking it's their last chance and once their hair goes, that's it. As a result, there are some pitiful guys around this age getting hen pecked, fleeced, bossed around, used as doormats, etc...due to their low self esteem. Be bald and proud and don't let it happen to you. |

Second that.
Personality trumps looks a billion times (both is, of course, the JACKPOT). But what is 'good looks' anyway? What I find attractive makes my friends throw up sometimes. It's all subjective and we all have different tastes.
From your posts, you seem like a great guy, .38 Special. |
