Hairloss and Women

[ibanezrg170]

So far it has been discussed why women prefer taller men.

I think women also prefer men with hair as opossed to bald men. Unlike height, I can't really think of a solid reason why plenty of women discriminate against hair loss.

Any thoughts...?

Depends how you define "solid reason". If you're alluding to reproductive quality, I agree, it doesn't add up as much as height does.

There is however the social stigma of being bald -- especially for white and asian guys in the US -- not sure about Europe.

I, personally, would pick a mate who's not socially stigmitized over one who is.  Maybe women feel the same way about bald guys?  Don't want their friends to make fun for dating a bald guy? (of course, some dudes look worse being bald than others)

Baldness is plain unattractive - I don't think that it goes any deeper than that, but some women really do like - even prefer - men with shaved heads...

I don't think baldness would be a problem with me, just depends on other qualities too. I do though, remember a comment my mother once made, when I was a young girl, about how she could have almost married a doctor once...except he was bald.

Maybe it´s a stigma like you say. But I also agree, when it comes to reproductive quality it shouldnt matter. All I can say is thank god for new technologies, I´ll probably be bald by the age of 35 (im 23 right now), but now there are various solutions to male pattern baldness.
