How women really feel about dating bald men?
What a silly question! Doesn't that depend on the woman? You could ask this question to a thousand different women and get a thousand different answers. To make it more difficult the answer might not even be a real reflection of the man, but of how the woman feels about herself! Poor men, you'll never really know. But to help out there are two factors the preference of the woman (duh!) and the man as a whole package not just his shiny head.
I am just about to hit thirty here in a minute and I have always had a thing for bald men. It's not really a preference, like, I don't go out looking for a guy and bald is like on the check list, but the fact that he's bald does not discount him in any way. It does not bother me at all. Why? Because I am totally comfortable with me and my little imperfections, so my eyes naturally gravitate towards men who are equally as confident despite their imperfections.
It shows a sense of confidence that is utterly sexy. The opposite just presents too much work to be dealing with someone who in their insecure vanity has to cover up and end up looking more ridiculous. Or worse, its like, can you imagine Internet dating some chick who posts a picture of herself, done a couple of years younger, a couple of pounds lighter, by one of these professional photography places that airbrushes out everything that makes us non plastic? And then you see her and you're like, what happened? What a let down!
Or to be having a great time with some guy with beautiful hair and suddenly there's a spontaneous kiss and you run your palm through his luxurious locks and passionately grab a handful of hair only to end up taking it off his head! Oh my gosh! That's like a bucket of cold water to fume out that situation! It's a total trick! And what for? Is it worth it? If you end up with this person will they not find out in the end? Isn't it better just to get out all your little imperfections in the beginning?
That's where people really mess themselves up while dating. They try to show the person their good side. That's so Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of us, and it's unfair to the other person. My husband and I were both lucky in that the three years of dating that we went through we fought more than we got along. (I mean that's not always good, right, but...) My point being, we were very real with each other and still decided to get married.
AND the first three years of marriage was like hell! IN MANY WAYS. But
