Feeling a bit down and need Reddit to be my wingman. Is it that bad?
A friend of mine was trying to hook me up with another girl and when she saw the photos of me she said to her friend “oh no, not another bald guy”

Dude, d-u-d-e not at all....you look great. I just asked my very younger cousin, who is currently looking over my shoulder at my Redditt what she thought. She said "damn!, he's cute...I'd let him take me out on a date". She is 28 half French / half Japanese who models professionally for Nike workout apparel for women in the EU, and is a real head-turner in any country by any man's, and many women's, standard.

And I really do mean it, you look cute. Bald isn't for everyone but there are plenty of ladies who like and prefer it even.

Dude you’ve got a great dome and that’s already on top of being handsome 😎 While a lot of girls like guys with hair, there are plenty more out there who go absolutely wild for a bald guy 😉

No, absolutely not. You look really good!
She's a shallow idiot, and you should thank your lucky stars that she showed exactly who she is before you wasted any time, emotional energy, or money on her. Bullet dodged.
And seriously, I don't think very highly of your friend right now. What a shitty thing to do, to tell you she said something like that. Maybe they should date each other. As my dear old Mum would have said, "Why ruin two families?"

Man, you can't let the opinions of one person get you down. The bald look isn't everyone's cup of tea just like some people are put off by guys with long hair or man buns or fill-in-the-blank hair style. She also might just be put off by bald guys because of an ex that treated her bad or something. You don't know what her reason is but it doesn't matter because her opinion of you is none of your business. You look really good and there are so many people here who will tell you that so I hope you believe it too!

Dude, you got this man embrace it. It’s all good. Some women don’t like bald some women don’t care find a woman that doesn’t care or even a woman that does and charm her.
In my experience personality with women trumps almost everything looks help that’s for sure on, but most women are emotional creatures. Well, if not all, and if you can touch them in some sort of emotional way, you’ve got a front door open to their heart.

Looks good to me. People are super shallow and have really arbitrary aesthetic standards that they often let cloud their judgement of and possible connection to people. It sucks but if someone would write you off for something like that it doesn’t really seem like a person worth wanting honestly 🤷🏾♀️

Not all girls like the same things. One girl shunned me for another because she didn’t like tattoos.

u/Fair_Site3076 16h ago
You have a bit of a Jeffrey Donovan actor vibe. He was in Burn Notice, and lots of other great movies. I don’t know how old this “girl” was, but she sounds very immature. You don’t need someone superficial and insensitive. Don’t waste your time thinking about her shallow words. We mature women understand it’s about how we treat each other and our actions. To have substance. She was nothing but fluff! Bald is beautiful baby!

For someone who goes for the bald guys almost always 😩 I wanna say… Her loss! Coz homegirl didn’t even give you a chance. You are hot 🥵 and there are plenty women out there who will absolutely love to give you a chance. Prove them right! that stereotypes are stupid and bald guys are amazing 😉

I understand why you wouldn't see it this way immediately, but if you think about it, she actually did you a favor by being that quick about it. If you could find out INSTANTLY if a person was wrong for you, as opposed to finding out weeks or months or even years down the road, wouldn't that be preferable? Well, that's what happened here.
Honestly, good for her for being so direct. Do I think she's removing plenty of great guys from her pool of prospects just by not being into bald guys? Yes, but we all have preferences and it's perfectly fine to have preferences.
You're an objectively good-looking guy (as far as societal standards of conventional attractiveness go). Just get out there and find yourself a partner who is neutral about – if not especially attracted to – bald heads, and you'll be set.

When I first met my husband he had a full head of hair but as it thinned I encouraged him to go shorter and he’s now been bald for years.
It looks awesome and far more confident and sexy than thinning. I told him I loved him for him and not the number of active hair follicles on his head!
You absolutely rock this look so it’s her loss and maybe see it as a way of filtering out the wrong girls? You will find plenty of us who really like it. I would have dated my husband anyway, lots of hair or none at all because that’s not a deal breaker for me.

The shaved head suits you, and you look great. However, you might remind people a bit too much of Andrew Tate, and that could put some women off.

u/don-cheeto 13h ago
Yo ur handsome af, esp with the piercings and facial hair. She was tired of dating bald guys. Her interest in them was wearing out. Not ur fault. If you dated like 50 girls, all short and brunette and girly maxed out to cringey, and still hadn't found your true love, would you not get tired of that and want something different?
Shut ur bald ass up and keep being sexy. ❤️

Ok bro, no coming onto you but, you're very good looking. That being said, there are a lot of women who would go for you anyway, and I'm talking about those who are superficial. There are quality women too who aren't superficial, so there's that. Last, don't let anyone get you down, because they don't find you attractive and make thoughtless comments, no matter who it is.

Brother...you're not HER type of "hot". It's NOT the bald. You do have a "look". It's NOT "bad", but the heaviness kinda projects through your photos.
Suggestion: find a way to lighten your persona. That might be what she's looking at...

Look, there are women that love hair and there are women that adore bald men. The things ive read they'd do. We must all at some point accept that we will never be everybodys cup of tea. We may be loved by some and hated by others. That doesnt mean she is evil or that you are a victim. There are dif. Tastes, and you will click with your own kind of ppl. If she didnt like you, its better for you and for her. Maybe she had a bad experience previously and she is still coping. Maybe its not what she said, but how she said it that its a win for you bc you dont have to deal with judgy ppl. I am happy you got what you were looking for here. We do need support a lot of the times in whatever process we are dealing with. Make sure one day you dont need this but just your own validation. Ppl come and go 🙏

Honestly, it really suits you. I shave my head myself because I have to, and in general I think being bald doesn’t look great on most people, except for a few rare cases, but you look awesome.
Of course, there’s nothing you can do about women who have strict preferences against bald guys, but you’re definitely going to have plenty of success with a lot of others.

u/nubia93 5h ago edited 5h ago
Don’t feel sad bud. You look sad but you look good. My only advice would be to look into fading your sideburns into your beard rather than having that sharp line between it and your head ( the side in the second picture looks like hard line but the side in the third looks a little more gradual/faded). But besides that, you will always find someone who doesn’t find what you have going on attractive, simply because that’s not for them, not because it’s actually unattractive. Eg some men find short hair unattractive on a woman while others love it, it doesn’t mean a short hairstyle is objectively unattractive. Chin up
