Should younger bald/balding men give up on dating?

If you're bald by 25, you should shave it all off.

I know one guy from high school who had that happen, so he starting lifting in college. He was a manager at the gym whilst in college. And now he's tan, bald, bearded and big. It works for him.

My own partner is also balding, and he keeps suggesting he should shave it, but I like his hair too much to agree with him.

They should immediately get on finasteride and save up for a Ht.

Balding is a choice most of the time. Don’t cope with muh shave it off and grow a beard.

At least try shaving your head before you give up.

if you are hot just shave it and wear a hat lol. otherwise blast some roids and get a tan

All insert x men that struggle with dating should focus elsewhere after a certain amount of time.

Shave it off; grow beard.

Bald works for the Rock, Van Diesel, John Malkovich, Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, Patrick Stewart - it’s not about what’s on your head, it’s how you wear it.

ManzBearzPigzIzRealz · 2021-07-02T16:04:09+00:00

It just depends on the guy. I’m late 30s. Been balding since early 20s. Been single for about 5 years now. I’ve routinely gotten good looking women in their early to late 20s. Yeah, it’ll be a deal breaker for some women, but not most.

“Should this one trait that may not be present in 100% of underwear models but plenty of regular guys still do well with mean that it’s over and I’ll die alone?”

FFS whatever happened to playing the hand that was dealt to you? Shave, grow a beard and keep going before the bald guy with less self-doubt takes your girl.

WilliamWyattD · 2021-07-02T16:14:13+00:00

It's rare that you should give up dating altogether.

How much balding will affect your SMV depends so much on context. Different people look differently with an entirely shaved head. Facial hair can sometimes balance out a bald head. Bulking up can sometimes help with the look.

So if we are being totally honest, it is all very contextual. It depends on the rest of your appearance and what other improvements you are willing to make. Some people are pretty fucked, but most can compensate at least partially with enough effort.

I have actually gone through balding and it hit me hard. FYI my face was rated Chadlite on the ppd discord, but my cone shaped head was just not compatible with the shaven look. For guys in our position I advise the following, in order:

Hair fibers + finasteride to stop the progression
Try minoxidil, prp and dermarolling to stimulate growth
Shave + beard
Hair transplant
Tape hair system with hidden hairline

As you can see, I'm a pro who's done 4 out of 5 of the things on that list lol

Everyone loses hair. Women lose hair, too. If you feel like dating is hurting your self esteem because you attribute it to your balding then yeah, date when you’re older and date older

superlurkage · 2021-07-02T16:01:17+00:00

Not unless you want to

Shaved heads are totally acceptable

801735 · 2021-07-02T16:08:28+00:00

Should? No idea.

Do they want to? If they want to, they're free to do so.

If they want to continue dating, they're free to do so.

SaBahRub · 2021-07-02T16:10:57+00:00

Only if they want to

Using it as an excuse is weak, just like using height or whatever

CantBonkThis · 2021-07-02T16:20:27+00:00

Pretend you do chemo to get the pity points

biggestuzifanea · 2021-07-02T16:27:37+00:00

I mean above average guys are giving up, most men realize porn, video games, working out and hobbies is going to have to be the future

cel-shaded · 2021-07-02T16:36:28+00:00

Bald look can work if you are tall and have broad shoulders; it accentuates one's masculinity which some women find attractive. However if you are bald and short then you are completely undesirable.

If you notice any signs of balding, you best try to stop it completely with finasteride, minoxidil and dermarolling quickly before you lose too much.

TheBookOfSeil · 2021-07-02T16:40:19+00:00

Nope. Grease that head up and pound them with it.

mlljf · 2021-07-02T16:48:29+00:00

I met my husband when I was 22 (he was a few years older than me though) and he was balding. Some women care I’m sure, a lot of women don’t. Also I agree with the suggestions about shaving it off if it’s something you worry about (for the sake of self esteem if nothing else).

TheSunshineMan · 2021-07-02T17:16:33+00:00

Yep, never in the history of the world has a bald guy ever gone out with a girl on a date.

GAME OVER

Aldabruzzo · 2021-07-02T16:03:37+00:00

Yeah, pretty much. I've got personal experience with this.

I've come to the realization that it's not being bald that's the problem. It's the process of going bald that causes men all kinds of dating problems. (The one good thing about this now is that any man can shave it and look decent. In the late 80s when I was going through this, if you were a young white man with a shaved bald head, everyone thought you were either a neoNazi skinhead, a prison inmate, suffering from terminal cancer, or had full blown AIDS.)

So if a man is balding in his early 20s, he's starting to thin out and recede, he should shave it, work on himself, and forget about dating or anything serious with any woman. He should work on his education and career.

He needs to get a body. He needs to work on his body. You cannot be bald and fat. You cannot have two strikes against you. It's even more important if you're short. If you are bald AND fat AND short, it's all over for you. Stick a fork in you, you're done. So if you're young and balding, you must get a body. You just have to.

If you're in the process of going bald in your 20s, just don't even try to date anyone or anything seriously. Go for the once-a-year hookups you can get. Get a cheap sugar baby. Dump fucks in big titted fatties now and then. But anything serious with anyone you might really really want, is out of the question. Wait until the balding process is over and you're a bagelhead. Then make sure you keep it shaved every day.

When the balding process is done and you have a "look" you're satisfied with, then you can try dating. But just accept that your dating pool is reduced by at least 50%. At least half of all women write you off immediately because you're bald. And you must be absolutely ruthless with women. You must give them no quarter. Any woman who starts pulling back or showing disinterest must be cut off and removed from your life immediately. She has to show immediate sexual interest - if she does not, cut her loose. Sex by the third date, or she's gone. No investment until she proves herself worthy of it.

This is extremely important for the man with a glaring imperfection and traditionally "unattractive" feature like baldness. She has to show interest immediately, or she's pegged you as a beta bux. She's targeted you for investment and commitment. You have to shut that down immediately and make clear that you won't let her use you like that.

Shave it, forget anything serious, get hookers and hookups, get a body, get ruthless.

yungthrowaway97 · 2021-07-02T15:53:12+00:00

To be honest probably yea. More like focus on things to set you up for a stable life and if something happens along the way then that's great. Don't focus solely on the pursuit of a woman.
