I think responsible, intelligent, funny, and wanting to better a person's position in life trumps physical appearance a whole lot. Besides, don't bald men tend to produce more testosterone?

Don't care at all if a guy is bald or "balding." Just embrace it, and shave what's left! I'd rather date a guy that's completely bald, or partially bald-with-closely-cropped hair that's left, than someone who

--has a toupee
--has hair plugs or transplants (when you can see the little dots--eek)
--tries to hide it or do a comb-over
--The worst was in the late 80s when guys with a receding hairline thought they could make up for it with a long-in-back mullet!

I think GUYS are more concerned with hair/no hair than women. I also think (from those I know anyway) that gay men are very hard on guys who are balding, worse than women ever are!

I've loved me some bald men in my life, some hairy ones, too. I don't care what's going on on top of his head, just what's going on inside it.

Recently I went on a few dates with a 32 year old who was balding. He had a receding hairline and a bald spot in the back and I must admit it was a turn off. I have seen attractive bald/balding men before but this guy was not rocking the look.

I met my husband when he was 18 and he was completely bald (Army basic training). I knew exactly what he would look like if he lost his hair; which he did...it started in his mid-20's.

We have been together over 27 years (25 married) and I cannot imagine loving anyone else. What on earth does hair have to do with who a person actually is?

It never ceases to amaze me how men obsess about this issue. I am fifty years old and have known a lot of women over the course of my life, and have never - NEVER - met a woman who gave a rat's arse whether a guy was balding or not.

On the other hand, I've never met a woman who LIKED the stupid "comb over" trick or toupees. Men - just go au naturale and quit worrying about it. WE DO NOT CARE WHETHER YOU ARE BALDING OR NOT.

I wouldn't date a guy with a completely shaved head, no, but balding is very sexy and shows maturity. Oh, I wouldn't date someone with a silly comb-over with a long strand of hair that he hopes would naturally cover the balding area - that is silly.

Wow. Mind-bogglingly superficial.

Kathryn, meet RiippaKiwi.

Good looks FADE. I would hope that my SO would think that I have enough other stuff that he loves (intelligence, conversational skills, kindness!) to be willing to stick around ... and of course I feel the same way about him.
