    For those of you debating what women want...

    Baldness is not a big problem if women want macho burly men but what if women want guys that look attractive rather than burly???

    I haven't done my own survey, but my wife for instance prefers masculine men. I don't remember any woman I've ever known expressing a favorable opinion of the feminine male. I've noticed that TV sitcoms over the last decade or so, seem to promote a kind of silly boy, neutered male-like character. So in my opinion promotion of a trend could possibly be behind this and some women have latched on to it. It's also possible though, that some women today see the ten year old boy in a twenty five year old body as non-threatening. Come to think of it, when I was ten, some of the guys teased the girls mercilessly. Another thing to consider is the fact that most of the mainstream media have reduced themselves to marketing departments for various movements, corporations, groups, government ploys etc.

      A good head of hair, good looking, and in good shape does not equal feminine. Just like a slob of a norwood 6 does not equal a masculine man.

        I had no idea that 76% of women were lesbians.

          That's because a tough guy kicking ass all the time goes out of style once you reach your mid-late 20's. Most women don't want to settle down with a loser that's in jail all the time doing odd jobs because he has some record.

            I'm not sure I understand your comment Notcoolanymore. Are you suggesting that this is what I am? I'll have you know that I am a law abiding citizen, with no criminal record, and I am a drilling and completions engineer for a multi-billion dollar oil company with a bachelors degree in petroleum engineering from a well known state university.

              No I was addressing the initial post/article that women prefer "feminine" men.

              You do sound like you have much success in your life though.

                  The fact that you don't recall any woman you've ever known like feminine men just goes to show how out of touch you are with what women want.

                  Almost every woman I have ever known prefers guys that look attractive - feminine.

                    Women never said their lesbians. They said they like attractive men.

                      I disagree with your reason for why women like attractive men. I think that the attractiveness of attractive men stirs women emotionally. I think women like the way it feels to look at an attractive man and know that they "own" him the same way men like to own attractive women because her attractiveness moves him. It's the same thing.

                        Yea but you look burly and rough whereas the man with hair looks attractive and sweet. Women want the guy who looks attractive and sweet.

                          Women would rather have an attractive man of modest success than a burly mean-looking bald men of good success.

                            Coming from a man on the camp effeminate side ofcourse not everyone is the same but In my opinion women want an "attractive" and "sweet" man because it looks better among their peers. Everyone wants to have a hot person around their arm guys do so do girls. it's a misrepresentation in the media that woman are these angels who aren't shallow and don't want partners just for their appearance. My girlfriend told me that when a hot guy walks in the room and everyone notices he becomes hotter... (I've convinced myself that i was the hot guy ) But seriously particularly among us younger guys that's the scenario. I imagine once you get a bit older there is an evolution of thought looks still play a role but not a huge role as it does when you're 19 - 30 .

                              Yeah so if you're balding in your 20's, the best year of or life you're doomed if you want a girl your age.

                              Then when you enter your 30's with your shiny bald head, you'll be able to land a used-up woman in her 30's too.

                              Some of the rationalizations here are so depressing to read.
