Well Vasilius, we haven't seen you in awhile, but if you ever come back, you apparently have yourself a date.

Perhaps we can start a new forum called "Alopecia Matchmakers" and see how it goes :-)

A friend in one of my classes is diffuse NW3 buzzed with a no guard. Comparing him to me when his hair grows out, I easily have a full head of hair but he has the jawdropping girlfriend. It gives me hope for me when I get up higher on the NW scale and that the only person who is making a big deal out of it is you.

You went out with a woman who "blew you off" because, according to you, she didn't find you very attractive. Later on, she (again, according to you), did find you attractive, and you got to feel good about yourself by blowing her off. How is this poetically just, at all? You liked her for her appearance, didn't you? Sorry, but I don't feel she did anything wrong by not pursuing a relationship with you; hell, it might not even have been your looks that did you in.

Just the other day, Facebook informed me that one of hottest girls I know was now in a relationship. I looked at their pictures together and the guy is well on his way to NW3 (in the front at least). One floor below me in the building I live in is an NW6 with a very hot girlfriend too.

Remember, the reason that we are all going bald is that somewhere down the line, a guy with a gene for baldness reproduced.

In these situations, I think a lot or most of it is in the mind of the (balding) guy.

I'm not saying women aren't superficial or prefer full heads of hair, but it's not like all the bald men in the world are lonely, all the bald husbands wives left them, all the bald single guys can't get dates.

Some women are superficial, but who cares? You don't need someone like that anyway.
And then again, aren't we all a little superficial? It seems like a lot of us don't like our bald selves in the mirror - how can we expect anyone else to?

I want to keep my hair, but I'm not terrified of it. I'm short, too. I'm pretty confident that even if/when I get noticably more bald, I could still get girls. Who knows, maybe I'm in for a shock.

Bill - Sorry I've been gone so long - I've been busy. I love this discussion though. I think it gives us all valuable insight, especially the posts from the last few months. A wounded psyche is much worse than a receding hairline.

Sizzle - Thanks for the compliments (and right back at ya ). What you said about self-image and how it relates to attractiveness was spot on. You seem to have a very strong sense of who you are as well, which is a very attractive quality in women too.

Leeson - Your Zac Efron comment was awesome, man I was crying!!

I've never met or seen any of the posters, and have no idea what any of you look like or how much hair you have today. It doesn't matter. Simply based on what's written here, I'd date Vasilius in a heartbeat and almost certainly come back wanting more. He's intelligent, well-spoken and empowered, doesn't use his "weaknesses" as excuses, and is generous with his time trying to help others. Keep in mind that I have zero idea what he looks like. It's his personality that's sexy.

In contrast, other posters here come across as whiny, defensive individuals who hide behind their insecurities and prefer to see themselves as victims. I'd try hard not to date you and if I found myself on a date with you by mistake, it would be over soon - regardless of what you looked like or how much hair you had.

To the original poster - why not just accept the girl's statement that she wasn't ready to date? And when you saw her later she was? Just think, you could be in a relationship with her now if you chose to trust her words instead of substituting your own deep insecurities.

And yes, sometimes people are shallow. Just yesterday I got rejected because the guy I was emailing with wanted a girl taller than 5'8. Oh well, so what? I'm a pretty splendid package wrapped in a 5'4 frame and if he doesn't like that, someone else will. It's his loss, not mine.

Hang in there guys, you worry too much. Short and bald is perfect if it comes with the right person attached.
Internet personalities are completely different than real life personalities.

Some people realizing they are anonymous, let their hair down and treat it almost like a counselling session.

Others pretend that they are not anonymous and display the highest levels of image management, with the ability to re-read and edit their posts, something they cant do in real life.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of these whiny individuals are investment bankers, and the "cool" guys deliver pizza. In fact, I would bet the "au natural" posters are the ones who requie high levels of image management in real life and view the internet as an escape.

Just something to think about.

I just stumbled onto this thread, and I think I have an instant crush on "Sizzle." Super eloquent with her words... It's great that she took the time to post and offer her insight.

It's true that not all women think in such an enlightened way, but clearly the most worthwhile ones have a lot more substance than this thread is giving them credit for having...
