How women really feel about dating bald men

by Michelle Pierson

Created on: July 28, 2009   Last Updated: July 30, 2009

Women are led to believe the same way men are that people are supposed to look a certain way. It is what society has made it become with all the magazines stating that person should be a certain weight or wear certain clothes.

I find that a bald man can be very attractive depending on whether or not they have the face to pull it off. People should be accepted for who they are, not what they look like or how much hair they have on their head. Some women enjoy the feel of the smoothness on a man's head as well as women who would rather have hair to grab onto. Most generally you would not find a woman out there who can truly say they enjoy being with someone who is bald. But their are rare instances when you do come across one. Women and men tend to stereotype people and put them in a category of what they think they should have or who they should be with rather then to be with someone because it is who they want to be with.

Balding shouldn't be looked at as a curse but as a sign of maturing and distinguishing. It should be flattering for that person, because it is who they are. There should not be requirements for what a person should like in order for you to date them. Anymore, we require specific ideas of a person before we even consider being with that person. And women should not try to fool others, that we are as bad as men. We tend to stereotype and want the man who is built with a six pack and a head full of luscious hair. But for us to choose to not give that guy a chance, how would we feel or how do we feel when a guy chooses to not give us a chance due to a blemish of our own. All chances should be equal.

I am not saying that we should be with the ugliest person just because we should give everyone a chance, but not to look down on a person with no hair. Just because you think that person is unattractive doesn't mean that other people feel the same way. And who is to say that you find a bald man attractive, but they find a flaw in you that keeps them from being in a relationship or even taking the chance of getting to know you.
