      That's pretty short by european standards, perhaps in the orient I'd be average height.


      And yeah people treat you different, doors close to you when you're bald.
      Unless you're already married or in a stable relationship getting laid is going to be harder.
      You won't be as 'cool' either, so unless you're naturally extroverted then you're really in a rut.

      We can all tell ourselves we're just as attractive with less/no hair, but for the vast majority of us that's just not true.
      Sorry to be a killjoy guys.

      Im single, Im perhaps 5"9-5"10. Yeah Ill admit life isn't the greatest, I've been single for a while, still live at home etc etc.

      BUT, 1) I got over my height, it can't be changed whether we like it or not.

      2) With OR without hair, I've learnt some girls will like me, some won't I expect with no hair, the ratios will change, but I know if I reach that point, I will be in a successful position.

      Sorry to be a killjoy, but I just don't have the time to be as depressed as you.

          At NW3 a close haircut looks best on most guys. I've picked that up from women...they don't say NW3, but they prefer a close haircut to shaving or even buzzing on say more more than 50% coverage because they are sensual and like something to run their fingers through during intimacy.

          If it gets to nw4 I'd say buzzing down close is most appropriate and at nw6 its time to embrace the skullet as I intend to

            Surely, you can't be serious....
            You think this looks better than a shaved head? Lmao

Still get a lot of attention from women but honestly it makes the worrying that much worse when you're so tall because everybody notices you, always. I also think handsome men have a unique problem in that they're always expected to look good and it's a huge fall from grace to go bald. I go from an 8 or 9 to a 6 or 7 with a shaved head. Sucks. Finally, bald headed giants are typecast as intimidating goons, and that just doesn't fit my personality at all.

              Can't have it all I guess... being tall is for the most part awesome though.

                I've got a mate who's 6'8! Crazily tall, and I get what you are saying about tall and handsome people. I always thought being that tall would be a bit of a nuisance?

                    At least no one is ever going to make jokes about your hair though...

                        It's all about that presentation, and presentation goes beyond hair (though it is definitely a plus).

                          I feel presentation in many of our cases to be hindered by genetic predisposition.

I'm a NW 2 and my gf can't fathom why I'm so obsessed w hair loss. "You have a full head of hair!" She protests whenever I bring it up or talk about shaving my head.

                              Categorizing NW 3's or worse as "disfigured" is perhaps a bit much tho
                              Women are notorious for this. She wouldnt tell you if you were going bald or not. She would deny it.

                              Just like no matter how much she balloons out, she aint looking fat in that dress.
