Alright, I'm going to add my two cents to this topic, from this woman's point of view and directed mainly to women who might be able to relate.

Dating in itself is a tough game. Generally speaking, women date men with an inherent quest of finding a potential partner. During the course of a date, she may even look at that man as a potential husband and begin to envision herself with him in a variety of scenarios as the night wears on.

We have no way of knowing if the man we are enjoying a romantic dinner or comfortable conversation with will age well. I mean, we wonder to ourselves, will he need glasses in a few years; will he end up hard of hearing, or, will this man lose his hair as he ages.

I must admit that when I was dating, I was attracted to men with healthy, thick, sexy hair! It didn't matter if it was light or dark, straight or wavy; as long as it was up there, that crowning glory atop of a hunky male! I'm not saying that men who are losing their hair, or are already bald, are not interesting or wouldn't be a wonderful partner. I'm merely saying for the sake of this article, that if given a choice, a nice head of hair would be the ideal! After all, I believe that women have a few fantasies; maybe not in the same way that men fantasize, but certainly, most of us know a woman or two who imagine themselves with a handsome man, in a passionate and steamy moment, running their fingers through a beautiful head of hair, just like in the movies!

The fact of the matter is that a nice head of hair had always been an important factor in the men I was attracted to, before I'd accept a date. However, there is a big disadvantage of sorts when we find a person we enjoy dating because we have no way of knowing much about that person's genetic makeup and family history in the beginning. A man with a seemingly nice head of hair right now may be destined to lose every strand by the time he is 50 years of age. Often times, our genetics remain a mystery, long after dating and quite realistically, don't show themselves until way into a long-term marriage, and then, POW, you wake up one morning and look over to see a bald man sharing your bed!

It happens, and it happened to me! Well, I did not go bald, but my dear husband, who had very nice long hair when we met and dated, and gradually through the years, it has slowly disappeared, leaving him with a textbook case of "male pattern baldness"! Who knew! I must say that his baldness has not changed
