God only made so many perfect heads, and had to cover the rest with hair.

I have been bald for almost 30 yeard, started buzzing when I still had some on the top, then said fuck it, and now shave my head daily. Goatee that's greying. Never had a shit test about balding from a chick, though to my male friends I would say God don't put marble tops on junk furniture.

I was pulling 26-30+ in my 40s. now in my 50s,I pull 35+. it is about confidence, style and game.Be able to communicate and be interesting. Hair or lack thereof is not an issue.

I've seen it work for guys who own it. Mind you the ones in mind were early twenties/late teens, they were otherwise quite attractive too.

Their responses were somewhat varied but ranged from common jokes (that hint to how basic-bitch the observation was), responding indifferently or deflecting it to a flaw of hers and otherwise owning it completely:

"It just moved to my back/balls"

"My barber mentioned it, that's why I prefer them to dentists because I'm sure you'd agree that they often fail to mention..."

Dude's sporting a razor cut and stubble, if it warrants a shit-test outside of an attempt at humour then he doesn't really need to worry about mental gymnastics at any rate.

There's also minoxidil in the case that you haven't lost too much hair yet. Inexpensive, accessible and effective. Each to their own though.

So many people not answering your question, but you weren't really specific. What was the shit test?

i'm bald (out of choice) and i'm 21 and it's not a problem. Lift and get traps and be bald, you'll look great

When women point out a flaw (whatever it is), you can flip it and point out one of theirs... make them qualify themselves to you.

"Well what about your crow's feet/ baggy eyes/ drooping chin/ small boobs/ etc.?" Own it. Don't try to cover it up, don't try to fix it. Just shave it all off and own it. Or at the very least go with a buzz cut and minimize it (if you can). And bald doesn't do it for some women, and some women love it... accept it and move on.

Or you can make them feel badly about the comment and try something like, "Well, it all hasn't come back in yet after the chemotherapy, but thanks for pointing that out."

Gotta make the drapes match the carpet.

I have a buddy who started losing his hair at fourteen and he is butt ugly partly from birth but going pro boxer and having guys beat on his face did not help.

He owns it by shaving his head and has since his late teens.

He is in his mid forties now and where most guys are fat and out of shape he is rock hard. Runs everyday, hits the gym and than the heavy bag hanging in his garage. Eats well and gets enough sun so he is not pasty white.

Women will crawl over broken glass to get the chance to fuck him.

When you lose one thing make all the other things count for more.

He tells women that the good lord only gave men so many hormones, and if others want to waste theirs growing hair that’s up to them.

A flat stomach and a muscular ass goes a long way to keeping a woman from thinking about your hair.

I wouldn't respond to it at all. If a woman is mentioning this, she's disqualifying you and stating she's not sexually attracted to you. This will happen to bald and balding men.

Don't say anything about it. Especially don't say anything self-deprecatory or sheepish. Just move on and excuse yourself. Thank her for her time, and excuse yourself from her as fast as you can.

Thing about being bald is that you can offset it if you have a body. You MUST get a body if you're bald or balding. You MUST get into shape, especially if you're younger than 30 and you're starting to thin out on top.

"well, some of the prettiest, funniest, most amazing women I've ever met all agreed that my baldness is extremely sexy. Matter of fact, maybe I'll go talk to one of them, see ya!" then walk away.
