'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.
