The Attractiveness of Baldness

I have noticed, that at least in North America these days, when a man starts to lose his hair – and decides to embrace the baldness situation, and shave his head – women tend to take notice. They don’t stare and say ” oh look at that man, poor thing – he is losing his hair”. Nothing could be further from the truth. What women are saying is – “wow, his confidence is hot!” It’s true, women love the baldies. Men who are starting to lose their hair, and are trying to grow it long (to over compensate), come off looking a little pathetic. Kind of like the high school football star, who relives the glory days – even though the glory days were 20 years ago.
If I had to pick – certainly I would choose a “John Malkovich” over a “Donald Trump“. It has everything to do with how a man perceives himself. If he thinks, ok here is what I am dealt with – the best solution is to do something proactive about it – then other people are going to notice- and be attracted to that quality.
Besides only certain people have ever been able to pull off the long haired look. From what I can tell – most of those men, are no longer living.















i wish i lived where you are at. i constantly get ribbed for my bald yet shaved head. example, last weekend i was at a movie and flirting with a girl behind me. i heard her friend say, “you don’t want him, he’s bald.” they stopped talking to me. trust me, this kind of thing happens all the time in a bald guy’s life. you just have to get used to it. no offense, as i appreciate the sentiment, but this article is wishful thinking.
