The emphasis on looks today, not only in the U.S. but in countless countries across the globe, has gotten out of hand. Everyone is expected to look like a movie star. How do women really feel about dating bald men? It's an individual preference, I suppose; but If they are so turned off by the glow of a hairless pate, they just shouldn't do it.

In my opinion, anyone with half a brain does not judge "looks" because they are fleeting. (It's like judging a book by its cover.) And most likely, a man with a great head of hair at present will eventually fall victim to thinning hair or actual baldness. In that case, I wonder if a woman married to someone who formerly had great hair but who is now bald, would leave him just because of his appearance? If so, maybe he should consider himself lucky. He probably could easily find someone less shallow and live a happier life.

Think about it. There are many attractive men who are bald. Some deliberately shave their scalps because they like that look. It is actually becoming quite popular. I have a son-in-law who has been shaving his head for the past four years, or so, and now I can't even imagine him with hair.

Remember Telly Savalas? Women thought he was quite striking and sexy because of his bald head. Another popular actor who is quite attractive without hair is Stanley Tucci. His bald head acts as a backdrop for his beautiful dark eyes. There are many other well-known men who are also bald, not only in the entertainment fields. Just look around you; they are everywhere.

Personally, if I met a man who was compatible with me in most areas, and by this I mean in the things that are the most important to me, not looks, I wouldn't hesitate to date him if he were bald. Besides, did you ever think that maybe men feel the same way about women with short hair, as opposed to long hair? Maybe they don't want to date them because they think they're less attractive than their long-haired sisters.

For whatever reason, the idea of women thinking less of bald men when considering them as dating prospects is utterly ridiculous. I don't think bald men will have to worry about this, though; as such women will probably and stupidly keep their distance, all because of their lack of hair.

That's okay in the long run, though, because their loss will be someone else's gain.
