Balding men often have the perception that they're losing their sex appeal just because they are losing their hair. But in my experience, some women do find bald men sexy.


In the discussion thread linked below, females discuss their feelings about men who are bald or with thinning hair. Some men also offer their feedback about bald females.

Bald - Sexy or Not

Unfortunately, some of the women on this thread still have a misconception of hair transplant surgery, and reference "plugs". I hope that ultra refined follicular unit hair transplantation will eventually be more well-known and mainstream.

Feel free to offer your feedback on this thread.

Best wishes,

Bill

Interesting thread.....being shaved bald (as opposed to baldING) can certaintly be acceptable, if not preferable.

That said, there are a few factors that I've discerned through observation, concerning those who are shaved bald and get deemed "sexy":

*they are infrequently caucasian, and if so, are fairly tan

*they are in excellent shape, particularly w/ regard to being muscular

*they have an acutely masculine aesthetic attractiveness

Some of the aforementioned is in our control, and some is not; either way, it isn't a cut n' dry issue and decision, IMO, just like a HT.

The female who started the thread says her friend is bald and sexy and then askes others what they think.

In her next post the same girl says another guy she knows wears a hairpiece and says "the guy with the toupee is not a bad looking guy. He'd probably look just fine without the rug." Read that again. She's saying she's not sure if he would look better without a rug or with it.

In her next post she says "my husband used to have hair down to his arse. headbanger stage." So while she says bald is sexy she decided to be with someone who had a lot of hair.

and her next post she says an "odd head shape with the bulge at the base of the neck gives me the willies.". So she has now moved completely to the other side saying some bald heads are ugly.


My opinion is when a women says bald men are sexy they almost always have some celebrity in mind. They don't think he's sexy because he is bald, but rather it's the money, body, celebrity status, etc. I bet they would think the guy in mind is even more sexy if he had hair.

BeHappy,

I would suspect that this woman's opinion varies because she is talking about different men rather than considering baldness verses hair as a whole.

For instances, as a general rule, I like when girls have long hair and generally speaking am often disappointed when I see a girl who was beautiful with long hair cut it short. I have made statements like "Girls look better with long hair", speaking very generally. Yet, I have seen some girls who look amazing with shorter hair and when they've attempted to grow it long, just doesn't look as good.

I think it's completely situational.

In my opinion, the key isn't whether or not a woman thinks bald is sexy, it's whether or not YOU are satisfied with your appearance. My wife was very supportive of my hair transplants, but told me she found me sexy even without it. But regardless of the compliments she gave me, I wanted hair! So out and got hair I went

Best wishes,

Bill

I think Bill put it correctly. Some guys look good, some do not with a bald head.

I have a good shaped head for being bald, I just feel that I look too mean if I bic it. If I keep it short I had enough hair to look good. I like having longer hair, and that looked bad because my temple areas were exposed more and my center strip of hair went straight down.
