Bald gay guys in your 20's - Please tell me my dating life isn't over

[Tman24]

Long-story short: I started balding in my late teens and having reached the ripe old age of 24, it looked horrible (like half my hair was gone), so I just said F-it and shaved it off.

Here is the thing, I rarely ever see bald guys in their 20s and feel like the black sheep in the gay community. I feel older than I am, that no one will want to be with me, and you never hear of a popular gay celebrity around my age who's also bald. They all have amazing hair and I think to myself that life can be so bullshit at times.

Also I know people will tell me "oh there's someone for you!" or "guys don't care about hair they care about confidence!" but deep down that's bullshit and we all know it. Guys judge on appearance and it's a fact. I know older gay guys (who started losing their looks) kind of go through the same thing, but I'm 24 right now and it bothers me. Most guys just aren't attracted to bald guys, myself included! Not on purpose, it's just I prefer hair, and most guys do too.

The reason I ask this here is because I'm looking for someone who's been in my position or a similar position and can be a success story for me. Were you balding, shaved your head, and ended up in many great relationships....especially in your 20's? Whenever I've had problems like this in life I always look to people who've been there/done that, but with this problem I can't find anyone and it frustrates me to tears at times.

Lots of people unfortunately, even I'd date someone with hair than no hair because that's who I'm attracted to

exactly my point.

Hair must be really important to you. You still have a chance of dating as much as anyone with hair does. & if you're a good looking guy, no one will even care if you're bald.

G Day and welcome to Gayspeak...feeling judged by the gay community for being bald? Sounds like you have surrounded yourself with the superficial and materilistic clubber community

[chillythoughts]

like seriously? who judges someone based on their hair? thats just stupid right there. get over yourself.

If someone's gonna judge you for being bald you're probably doing yourself a favor by not dating them anyway. Sir I say own your baldness! If your head's cold you can always wear a swanky stylish hat. I've seen many a bald cutie, oh yes...

Bald doesn't mean ugly anymore. I dunno, I seem to notice there are more men rocking the bald style. My sister's husband is bald. Not because he's balding but just because I guess after they shaved his head for the army he decided he liked the way it looks and continues to shave his head. He's pretty handsome, so you're not doomed. Some people find it sexy and some(a lot I would imagine) don't care.
