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!
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.
No. If I do not love him before I see him, not a chance.
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.
I went on a date with a guy last week who is balding...doesn't matter to me one bit.
