For those of you who believe that losing your hair will keep you from finding a mate.

[PayDay]

This guy is not only losing his hair, he lost his legs!

Great story!

Don't let the guys around here see this. It goes against everything they believe. LOL. On a serious note, this should be an inspiration to everyone who thinks they can't get a hot chick just because they are going bald.

He's NW2,5 at most. He's not disfigured. There was a study that showed that people who lost an arm of a leg during an accident could get back to the same level of happiness as before the accident while people who got disfigured could never reach the same level of happiness.

I agree he is a NW2... why would he be sad?

You don't need hair to find yourself a mate. It's the caliber of the mate that I am concerned with.

It is not impossible though to find yourself a hottie if you are bald, but you definitely will have to work a little harder. I admit that I will see from time to time a guy that is total dog meat with a good looking woman, but that is usually the exception. Don't take my work for it. Next time you are out in public just look at the majority of couples. They are almost perfect matches. People will usually match up with partners that are similar, especially when it comes to looks. You will rarely see the fat nerd with the hot chick. Unless she's paid for.

Oh no..it's the "There's kids starving, and men without arms/legs, lighten up" card.

This is the lamest thing to bring up in any subject. The "appreciate what you have" advice is old and nobody really wants to hear about how there's some one who has it worst than you, it solves nothing, and it makes no one feel better about themselves.

The worst advice I could give to some one is that there's some one who has it worst out there. If it has to come to that, no matter the subject, I give no advice at all.

Good point. There is always going to be someone out there with a worse problem than what we are dealing with. They might as well just tell us to "get over it and move on with your life"

It is pretty common for guys to date/marry out of their league. If your goal is a long term commitment then balding probably will not interfere with that.
However with casual hookups, dating, and also treatment from women in day to day life, balding is major

[fred970]

Is it me or the guys that complain about baldness being the end of the dating world aren't even bald here?

As someone on the other side of the fence, I can tell you it's not. I thought it was but now that I'm NW5, I don't feel much of a difference in the way that other people treat me.

"Seeing my hair wet". What about if like me you would have no hair left? You don't know what it will be like when you'll be completely bald. I didn't. And it isn't as horrible as I thought. I still have two FUE's scheduled too. I see hair as a bonus, not something mandatory to get laid.
