Life is becoming increasingly more difficult as I get older. The loneliness is really painful, especially on the weekends. During the week I think work distracts me enough to get me through it but this loneliness is like a disease.
I believe a large part of why I feel this way and have lost confidence is due to my baldness at a fairly early age. I do genuinely believe that if I wasn't bald, more women would pay attention to me. I am a living proof of this. When I was younger, even a few years ago and had a buzz cut, I had more attention, women would check me out in public, I had more interest online etc. but now with a totally shiny bald head, I gain very little interest. This as you can imagine is painful. If I was married and/or had a partner, I wouldn't care but as a single man who's still searching for someone, this is a terrible situation to be in.
There is so much hypocrisy, in that many of you and nearly everyone will say baldness doesn't/shouldn't matter, it's more about your character and attitude. Women will reassure us saying it's not that important because it's more about the person and character. BUT the question is how are these women going to get to know your character and attitude if they don't find you physically attractive to begin with?? That's the point, because that's what comes first, that initial physical attraction. It's like saying to a fat chick; don't worry about being fat, men will find your sweet nature and kind heart attractive. How many fat chicks do you see with attractive men? Doesn't happen. How many bald dudes do you see with slim, attractive women? Happens rarely.
It doesn't matter if you're tall, dark, got other things going for you, the shiny bald head just isn't going to turn heads. If baldness wasn't such a bad thing then why do we see baldness made fun of, ridiculed etc. Tell me how many tv commercials do you see which showcase bald men? How many slim, beautiful models do you see hooking with bald dudes (obv I don't mean Jason Statham, Rock etc. I'm talking about every day bald dudes who aren't A-list actors or celebs and have a gazillion dollars)??
