What do you think of bald men?

[crimsonblue]

I have come to accept that I am going to lose my hair. I have wispy, blonde hair, and my hairline has already started to creep backwards. My mom's dad lost all his hair by age 30, so I am pretty much screwed. Here's the deal: baldness seems much less manly and stuff to me, and it makes you look 50. Do women find baldness attractive, or should I start saving up for Bosley for Men?

1. Stone Cold Steve Austin pulled it off well. nt

[crimsonblue]

3. I hate the "scary, strong" white bald man look

I don't want to look like mr clean or a neonazi.

[IndianaJones]

5. Michael Jordan had a good look. nt.

[Liberal_in_LA]

53. Obama... cut so short, near bald.

[dropkickpa]

14. Being blond, a close buzz cut would work well, too

You won't look like a loser fighting to hang on to every last strand of hair, but it won't be shiny smooth (which is still sexy and yummy to me).

And the good honest decent guys with shiny shaved heads far out number neonazi's with them.

[XemaSab]

46. You don't want to look like Ed Norton in American History X?

Lose the swastika and I'm all over that. :D

[mcctatas]

2. Some men are hot bald...

plus they take less time to get ready to go out :P

[knowbody0]

4. keep it shinny and tan

pierce your ears, wear a bit of facial hair to enhance your features. be brave. don't wear a hat.

[redqueen]

6. Definitely attractive. (nt)

[gmoney]

7. Yeah, it's a good look...

...or not.

[blueraven95]

8. honestly,

every bald guy I've known personally has been an awesome person. I would never hesitate to date a bald man.

[Lautremont]

9. In Turkey, the bald pate is known by women as "The Third Buttock."

So you've got that going for you.

[old mark]

31. I'm hoping that is a good thing? nt

[Lautremont]

33. I took it to mean they considered it sexy,

but at any rate, it's better than being called a slaphead.

(I would guess - I don't speak from experience... yet.)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. forget Bosley. Bald Men Rule!

:thumbsup:

[Tripper11]

11. Check it out....lost it when I was in my 20's

And so I am sporting this look now....



I stopped fighting it a long time ago. Easy to deal with, I shave it down once a month or so and work the goat...it's even longer since this pic was taken.

[Heidi]

66. To be honest, I'd be so transfixed by the blue eyes

that I probably wouldn't notice your bald head for a looooooooooong while. :hi:

[Mollis]

12. My dad is bald, but he shaved it

because my grandma started losing her hair from chemo.
He looks kind of silly bald, mostly because his ears stick out a little (must be where I get it) and he kept his mustache. Which is really dark, almost black. lol
But I think it's great he did that. Very awesome of him.

I think bald is a great look, if that is what the person wants.

[dropkickpa]

13. Lemme just tell ya

I love a shaved head! I am very much into guys with bald heads, and am actually turned off by long hair, so embrace the bald, man, don't fight it! I promise you, there are plenty of women out there just as turned on by it as me.

[pokerfan]

15. Live, dammit. Live!

GEORGE (examining Kurt's head with a lamp): Yep. Classic horseshoe pattern. I've seen a lot of this.

KURT: Oh, God.

GEORGE: No, no, Kurt - wrong attitude. You should be happy now.

KURT: Happy? Why should I be happy?

GEORGE: You've still got pretty good coverage. Once the enemy advances beyond this perimeter - <points at Kurt's head with a pen> - then you won't be Kurt anymore.

KURT: Who will I be?

<George points at himself. Kurt shudders.>

KURT: How long do I have?

GEORGE (solemnly): 14 months. Maybe 10.

KURT: Is there anything I can do?

GEORGE: Yes. Live, dammit. Live! Every precious moment as if this was the last year of your life. Because in many ways... it is.

[racaulk]

16. My partner is bald.

He's like you, he has thin blonde hair that he started losing. So he decided to just shave his head, and I think he looks good that way.

Honestly, it depends on the man. Some guys can carry that look very well, and others not as much. If nothing else, shave your head and see what reactions you get. If the feedback you get is positive, then that may be a good look for you. If not, well, it's not permanent and the hair you still have will grow back in a couple of weeks.

Good luck! :hi:

[Heidi]

17. One of the least important of all characteristics, in my opinion.

Baldness is NOT "less manly."

[Oeditpus Rex]

58. I don't like men who exaggerate

about the places they've been, about the money they make
I like a man who's honest and true
who can look you in the eye when they talk to you
I like men who accept who they are
not everybody can look like a movie star
If you can follow this thought to its logical end
you can see why I like bald-headed men
(She said it before, she'll say it again)
I like bald-headed men

Everybody knows it's testosterone
that turns a bushy-haired man into a chrome-dome
But testosterone is what makes a man a man
The more that he's got, the more that he can
do the things that make the women go OY!
I'll take a bald-headed man over a big-haired boy
Big-haired boys make very good friends
But they cannot compare to bald-headed men
(She said it before, she'll say it again)
I like bald-headed men

Why would you waste your money
joining that hair club for guys?
(Tell me why, tell me why!)
Why would you cover
your manly badge of honor
with such a bad disguise?
(Guys, guys, guys, guys!)
Why would you blow your money
on Rogaine and Minoxidil
when all it can guarantee
is years and years of pharmacy bills
(Please don't do it!)

Yes, we believe the hair replacement industry for men is like the cosmetic industry for women — a giant black hole that will suck your money away for the rest of your lives!
(Please don't do it!)

No matter how you fight it, time marches on
Some new things appear, some old things are gone
Let 'em go; it's a natural thing
Like a leaf off a tree, like a bird on a wing
Try looking in your mirror from a whole different place:
You're not losing hair, you're gaining face!
Be confident, be cool; it won't be long when
you find you are proud to be one of the bald-headed men
(She said it before, she'll say it again)
I love bald-headed men

Johnny Yakovitch...
Love him!

That guy on "Star Trek: The Next Generation"...
Love him!

Michael Jordan...
Love him!

Tom Paxton...
Love him!

Alan Brady...
Love him!

Burt Reynolds...
Love him!

Yul Brynner...
Loved him!

Telly Savalas...
Who loves ya, baby?

[aikoaiko]

18. at some point, I say go stubble.

Once a week you drag the electric hair trimmer with a low setting over your hair and its done.

Neat, professional, reasonably low maintenance.

[graywarrior]

19. Shave your entire body, that's what I say.

[edbermac]

20. Hey, that bald chick in Star Trek was pretty hot!

And speaking of that, I'd rather be bald than wear some hideous rug like Shatner does.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

21. I once had wispy blond hair on top

last seen sometime in the late Nixon years... don't worry about it. I have found it is a good detector of shallow insipid people that are not worth knowing anyway

now I have rum



wait... I had rum then too... never mind

[mikeytherat]

22. Bald dudes rock (literally).

Well, some of us anyway.





mikey_the_rat

[MissMillie]

23. I think baldness is way more attractive than

1) the comb-over
2) hair plugs
3) spray-on hair



The amount of hair a man has on his head has never been the deciding factor of whether or not I will date a guy.

[Deep13]

24. I hope to avoid being one.

Since I can't have facial hair at this job, I'll be pretty much screwn if I go bald. So far so good.

[redqueen]

25. Ok I'll just say it. I think bald is sexy.

I used to kind of have a thing for balding guys. Not so much anymore... but a bald head, yeah... I still find that very sexy.

[Lucian]

26. I'm going to shave it all off once I start getting that bald spot.

For me, it's either a full head of hair or nothing at all.

[Lautremont]

28. I had a friend who said "I don't mind going bald,

I just don't ever want a fuckin' monkhead." I certainly sympathize.

[Chan790]

35. Respect the power doughnut!

I don't think that it looks that bad as long as you accept you have a spot and do trim/shave/maintain the long wispy hairs that some guys get in their bald spot...those are terrible. Oh and keep it maintained. If you've got the power donut, embrace it. It looks good on some people.


Tell me Ed Harris doesn't look damned good for a guy missing the middle half of his head of hair.

[Arkansas Granny]

27. Over the years I have dated several men with various stages of baldness.

I never considered it unattractive and would never have suggested that any of them do anything about it unless it would make them feel better about themselves. It's personality, not hair, that makes a man attractive.

[originalpckelly]

29. What makes you a man is in your mind, not on your head.

Life is often not about the hand your dealt, but how you play that hand. Embrace it, and if a women doesn't like you for who you are, then quite frankly would you want to date someone that shallow?

[old mark]

30. I think I am one. nt

[fizzgig]

32. my bf's hairline is receding, so we keep it buzzed pretty short

and i think he looks damn sexy that way :loveya:

[Crabby Appleton]

34. Bald can be good lookin

[One_Life_To_Give]

36. Who loves ya baby

[sarge43]

37. This is unmanly?!

[XemaSab]

47. An impotent little question mark?

Yes.

[Symarip]

38. If you already wear Ben Sherman's and Doc Martin's

It's not that big of a deal.

[meegbear]

39. I've been shaving my head since March 2001 ...

and everyone has said it's the best look I ever had.

The main thing about "the look" is the head shape. I have a round/oval shape, so the look fits my face.

[mykpart]

40. Think Jean-Luc Picard of TNG.

Think Yul Brynner in his prime
Think Sean Connery
And rest assured: When girls drool over Matthew McConaghey, they aren't looking at his hair!

[pokerfan]

42. But Sean Connery wore a toupée

At least he did as 007.

[Rob H.]

41. Bald really works for some men

I always think, "Man, that guy must have loads of confidence to shave his head." Years ago I worked with a guy who was 25 years old but completely bald on top (think Patrick Stewart) by the time he was 19. He just shaved it all off and it was a good look for him.

On the flip side, back in the early 90s I worked with a guy who wore a really obvious toupee and that look suits no one, believe me.

Edit: shpelling.

[sarge43]

48. Stewart was bald by his mid-twenties as were his father and brothers.

Heredity with the all the men in his family - forget the name of the condition. He's said it was never a problem in getting roles; he just kept the remaining hair cut very short and wore a wig when the part required.

Always liked the line he had in one of the TNG episode. When it was discovered a young man was his son, Picard said to him, "Now you'll never look at your hair line in the same way again."

[Liberal_in_LA]

52. Another episode... Picard was transformed into a young boy

At end of episode, immediately after tranforming back to his bald self, picard reaches up and smooths his head.

[applegrove]

43. Lots of guys shave their heads as they go bald. I think it looks good.

[yurbud]

44. Rent all the episodes of the Shield. When you are done, you'll want to shave your head and

pretend you are Vic Mackey for the rest of your life.

It's working for me.

[XemaSab]

45. Bald can be HOT

But one thing you must NOT do is try to grow your hair longer, it's never going to fool anyone.

Keep it a little bit shorter, and be BALD AND PROUD!

PS Did you know that balding is caused by testosterone? :D

[baldguy]

49. I think they're fine.

[Redstone]

50. I think they're guys who have lost their hair.

Redstone

[Liberal_in_LA]

51. Grow it VERY long like this:

Grow it long in the back, swoop it forward, then swoop it sideways, and back again. Hold it in place with hairspray. (don't forget to dye it funny colors that bleed)

[pokerfan]

56. Long and bald can work

[Liberal_in_LA]

57. I've seen him before. Who is that? Dr. Who?

[pokerfan]

60. Riff Raff from Rocky Horror Picture Show

as played by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_O%27Brien">Richard O'Brien who also wrote the original musical.

[Mira]

54. If you had any idea how I feel/felt about Yul Brynner, and why

this would not be a question.

[elshiva]

55. Bald men are hot.

:)

[GOPisEvil]

59. You know what's attractive?

Being comfortable with who you are.

[pokerfan]

61. That's just crazy talk

[JVS]

65. Oh bullshit

[ThomCat]

62. Bald can look really great if a guy completely shaves his head, or

if he keeps his remaining hair short and well trimmed at all times. :)

It depends what the pattern of your hair loss looks like, and what the remaining hair looks like.

[He loved Big Brother]

63. I think they worry too much about it.

Just like they do about height. I guess it's the same as some women who worry too much about their weight.

Personally, I don't care about height or hairline. I care about penis size and just take it from there.

[JVS]

64. I think that baldness is a great excuse to inflict a toupee on all those assholes out there.

Force them to pretend you have hair.
