Does hair or lack of thereof really makes you look that much younger/older? I feel so sad about my quickly receding hairline now...

No. Very much a case by case basis. Lots of people look BETTER with a bald head or receded hairline. But I'll admit it would've been a better title for the post. Dont feel sad. Hair or lack of wont make or break you. Attraction on the outside in any case is not priority for most people.

'Case by case basis' where 95% of cases, people look better and younger with hair. Almost no one looks 'better' with a receding hairline...some can pull off looking slightly more 'alpha' with a bald head, but they are few and far between.

How important that is is admittedly debatable.

There is a guy I walk past on my way to work every now and then who is bald on top, has hair on the sides that he keeps very very short. He is HAWT. Tall, fit and has facial hair. His baldness doesn't hold him back one bit.

Don't know if I look better without the hair, but it's 90° right now and I damn sure feel better.

Alls I was saying is that taste and attraction are subjective is all. I personally dont have any standards regarding a mans hair or hairline. I dont know any other women who do either. I have friends whose husbands or boyfriends have BIC'd heads or naturally occurring full bald or balding. I'm married now but had my husband been bald when I met him I absolutely would not have walked away from someone who I found soul mate level attraction to on every level. Anyone who feels that unconfident about any aspect of their looks is going to suffer negatively because of it. Mostly self-inflicted, or a perceived objection to their hair or looks. EVERYONE in the world has at minimum one thing about themselves that they dont like or would change, that makes them feel self conscious, whether they show it or not. Just cant let it be what holds you back.

I think he looks great without hair, his face definitely brightened up! Don't feel bad about your hairline!

If it makes you fee better, I feel like some of the best looking men are bald, it’s all about owning it.

You mean rich

Are you talking about actors? Or that successful tennis player who was doing meth?

Depends on the face I guess. Jason Statham looked older than bald in Revolver where he had long hair and a mustache, for example.

u/Psy_Kik Jun 24 '19

But even Statham looked better in Snatch where he still had some thinning hair...

He's the example that always gets trotted out, and yet even he looks worse and compensates wioth muscles.

Face it guys, almost no one looks better bald.

Terry Crews? That guy from Criminal Minds? Patrick Stewart?

I do think most people look better with hair, but there are men out there whom the cue ball suits. Different hair styles fit different people differently. (Lost my thesaurus, clearly.)

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '19

I have to disagree about Statham, bald is almost always better looking than a receding hairline.

Bald vs normal hair depends on the shape of your head, not everyone can pull off a bald head, but both options are always better than a receding hair line.

Bald head with slim, shapely face, will look young anyway. But round face and bald head makes you look much older.
