What do men generally think of young women who, due to a medical condition(alopecia) since childhood, are bald? I know guys would still be madly in love with their girlfriends who lost their hair(chemotherapy) in the middle of their relationship, but what about girls who've been bald for almost their entire lives? )':

As this is not the norm, many guys will be initially challenged by your look. Fair? No. But a truth I'm sure you already know. And I do agree that having a partner full-haired and then having them lose their hair is a different (hairless) animal all together. All that said, please know that there is a considerable population of guys who don't really care that you don't have hair and are much more interested in your personality and other features. Both physical and personality. I don't know if this makes you feel better or worse, but for (dumb) example if Kim K. had Alopecia guys would still worship at her boobs and butt. That doesn't mean you should overly flaunt your other body parts, but it does mean that we are more than our parts (other than Kim K of course. She is two parts!) My point is the more a man gets to know you, the more he will see the totality of you. That's how it works with all of us. Your wit, your eyes, your cute feet, your great laugh, etc. will become much more salient to him than your Alopecia. Again, I'm not trying to shove sugar down your throat: given a choice most men would opt for a woman with hair, but I am confident it is not a deal breaker. I also would consider not trying to meet guys in places like clubs and hot-bod beaches that are very flash-image focused. Not that you can't, but you may find more dating luck in environments that allow people to evolve and mingle rather than just stare and sniff at each other. Good luck and let me/us know if this advice resonates with you!

Hi :)
My mom has alopecia. She's been blad since high school, but that didn't stop her from having many sexual adventures and serious relationships throughout her life. She's now been married for 15 years and has two daughters (me and my sister -we both have a full head of hair, by the way) and she's just as happy as any woman who's got hair could ever be.
As Funny Guy said, yes, some men will be challenged by your looks, but so many more won't mind it. Just be confident and proud of who you are. You're just as beautiful as everyone else!

There's a bald, heavily pierced and tattooed women who works as a cashier at a clothingshop around here. Personally, I think she's one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen...so yes, there are men out there who don't care or are attracted to women with bald or shaved heads. :) Remember when V for Vendetta came out? A lot of men loved Natalie Portman in that movie and her head was shaved completely for the majority of it. Ultimately, the guys that think alopecia is a dealbreaker just aren't right for you.

women who can rock a bald head are sexy and confident looking IMO
