Definitely not a problem here, although I see from previous posts I may have to battle quite a few women to find the cue ball of my dreams. The last date I went on was with a guy thinning pretty drastically on top, and he was sex-ay as all heck. **dragongirl** , that is hysterical! ---

Not a dealbreaker. Been there, done him. 😉 ---

Balding is not a deal-breaker - although I do say, if you have a nice skull, shaving IS the way to go. There are a few heads out there that NEED a pelt covering them however. I may be biased as Dad’s side of the family has a bald(ing) head on every man - but I must say they are all quite good looking despite, or because of, that. ---

I’ve always felt that an attractive man is an attractive man whether he has hair or not. However, I don’t fall into the “shaved=sexy” category myself. I don’t hate shaved heads, but I don’t love them either. \ HOWEVER, now MY hair is starting to get thin, and I’m really worried about it. I’m “only” 50 (I know, pretty old to some of you folks). \ ---

I’m not losing my hair, my forehead is growing… God only created a few perfect heads and on the rest he put hair 😃 ---

Long hair, short hair, no hair: it doesn’t make much of a difference to me. I will say that, in my opinion, long hair with a bald spot looks a bit odd. They just don’t go together. (Then again, I once dated a guy with long hair and a bald spot and found him very attractive. ) ---

My boyfriend has a thinning spot on the back of his head, it doesn’t matter to me at all… and never would. Of course, he’s almost 6’7", so I rarely see it 🙂 ---

Hair loss in any amount does not affect my opinion of a man. Combovers are embarrassing, yet I know some very sensible men who do it. They’re not fooling anyone, and occasionally the wind or a body movement leaves the combover sticking straight up or hanging off the wrong side. ---

Just another woman saying it isn’t a deal breaker or even a big deal. ---

Another vote for “doesn’t matter unless there is a comb-over” ---

I definitely prefer bald men–don’t know why, but I always have. I didn’t even realize it until a friend of mine pointed out that all the guys I thought were really hot happened to be bald. So, **Sunspace** , in my case it’s a decided preference. Oh, and **Astro** , WOW! ---

I like balding men (sans comb-over - _shudder_). I can’t explain why. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doperwomen-is-a-bald-spot-a-dealbreaker/146850.md?page=2)
