I'm sure you're very handsome!

... i was... once jk

As a straight male, I wouldn't date either of those men, and, going by just their appearance, I wouldn't want to be friends with either of them. They look like dullards.

In general, yes: bald < hair.

For whatever reason i still cannot see the dude in the first link. Idk why but it is bugging me lol.

Lots of girls/guys like lots of guys/girls for lots of reasons. Most people DO look past physical attributes. Not completely or even close but that is certainly not what is only taken into consideration.

I actually prefer girls with okay looks with great personalities and = or greater intelligence to myself. Not hard to find for me trust me. Yeah I am aware of how I presented myself with that sentence hehe.

First guy... But if the second guy had hair then probably him.

The first, if he were ~15 years older. Even if he's gone bald by then.

I know you won your bet already, but here's my 2 cents:

I personally like bald men....even at 1st glance. imo some guys look better bald than with hair. Patrick Stewart as Picard. That Lex Luther actor from Smallville (mmm....). Yul Brynner. Billy Zane (I like him both bald and w/hair). Many others. I prefer Bruce Willis bald or almost-bald over when he had more hair in 80's. It does depend a bit on the shape of the skull (and the ears and browline). This is true for bald women as well. Our brains seem to prefer (at 1st glance anyway) symmetry, so the closer a face/skull is to that, the better that 1st glance response may be.

But that's just me ... I think I would agree that the 1st attraction for the average woman would statistically lean more towards men with hair.

I do love men with hair too, of course. But there are a zillion haircuts that I can't stand that would turn me off at 1st glance far more than having a bald/ing head would do. So, in short, I don't prefer hair and I don't prefer bald. Either can be awesome - it just depends.

in regards to the 2 photos:chances are good I wouldn't date either one since 1:I don't like tattoos and 2:while I like a man to be in good cardio/overall shape, I'm not at all into the body-building/sculpting types. Of course, if personality trumped 1st-glance reaction, as it so often does in real life, I might change my mind.

Neither of them are my type at all...

If I had a gun to my head probably the second guy. They're way skinny though.

They're not my type, but the second one looks less annoying.

OP, what technology are you using? It seems like only women can see the first link.

I think one is fairly skinny (despite the "sixpack" ripples) but the other one doesn't seem that skinny. Not big/superbuff, but not skinny either.

They're 'way skinny' for me I should have said. I'm not a bit fan of slim or sixpack type guys.

Hmm... Before beginning my weight-loss pursuit, I neglected the fact that this was possible... Interesting...

Yeah man, ripped guys are not every girls' cup of tea, contrary to the stereotype.

Don't tempt me to post my own pic

The current trend of all movie posters and model photos featuring guys with super-abs (probably digitally enhanced most of the time) cracks me up.

Clearly this is to see about baldness vs. hair.

Anyways as a straight male I can't say anything for either of them except for this: in my experience physical attraction often follows emotional and personality attraction in step. In other words someone you may find completely boring and unremarkable can suddenly turn in the most beautiful person in the world after you make some connection with them and talk to them for a bit. The same thing can happen in reverse too mind you. That's just my (very) limited experience.

So maybe we're all judging the book by it's cover. I'm sure either of them can have any number of personalities, and just tried to look tough for the photo. On the flip side they could be actually be ex-convicts and murderers.

Neither of them are really "hot". I've seen better. Probably wouldn't date either of them.

I can't see the first bloke. As a purveyor of male aesthetic, I think the 2nd guy is decent looking. He seems to suit having no hair and he's in good shape. He has a rubbish tattoo though.

EDIT: I'm surprised to hear that some girls don't like good bodies.

I'm in the gym every day now, just because I have the time. I can appreciate why a lot of girls wouldn't like the whole body builder, huge physique, but surely a nice six pack is always appreciated?

Or is it more because you see those kinds of guys trying too hard, spending too long gazing at themselves in the mirror and just being generally vain and boring? Because their whole lives revolve around their work out routine?

Just curious.

I need to know this information as well. I mean, all girls I've met in real life like it when guys have good bodies. They may not like the person because of his personality, or the fact that they obsess over their physique, but they still appreciate the body itself nonetheless.

Edit: No wait... Actually, I remember this one time when my friends and I were talking to a group of chicks. My friend (who is extremely fit, and what one would call "ripped") was flirting with the girls, all of which flirted back except one. That one was sort of just ignoring him, and when the conversation headed for fitness and his workout routine, she said that he should lay off, that he looked unnatural, and "too ripped"...

Thing was, she was the ugly fat chick no one really cared about anyway.

Caring too much about appearance is a feminine trait, yo. I don't like it.

About bald guys, I like them, but it definitely looks better on guys who are a bit buff. Also I've heard that the testosterone-level decides at which age a guy gets bald, so from what I understood: more testosterone = bald at an earlier age.

I understand. And the bald head was more of an issue question rather than tattoos. So I figured the hairless head would stick out more. And I do agree that statistically women are inclined to find male with hair more attractive. It's hardwired into their brains. But you have good taste, so I respect you

P90X is a great weight loss pursuit that can tone you up and make you lean depending on which path you choose. But all advertisemants aside, I have been told women like a softer guy with some meat on him. Not overly obese, but not too buff and muscular. An average guy if you will. Don't get me wrong, I am of average weight, but my pecks are too large and it stands out. I need to workout my arms and shoulders more so it can be proportionate. I'm not doing it completely out of vanity, but only because I just want to look a little normal. Not a guy with muscular chest and small arms and shoulders with a big bald head. It looks weird.

Although I am guilty to stare in the mirror and make my "man boobs" bounce when I am chest flexing haha. Ever since I was younger I always wanted to do that.

In regards to women and workout, I guess there is a good amount of guys that works out to attract the opposite six. I myself always worked out solely to get women. But nowadays I just do it to be more athletic and healthy since I can balance out being a computer geek and a gym rat. They can coexist you know. Women are more byproducts when it comes to working out. One of the good things that comes along with having a great body. I think a healthy dose of confidence is important. Not arrogance, since people hate that(Me included).

Well, media has ingrained in society what is hot and what is not. Back in the old times, you always saw painting of large women because that was one of the attractive types of ladies. In present day, it's mostly about abs and hair and etc. Some guys know that and workout. While others do it for the sake of sports and other activities. My life now revolves around losing some weight and gaining muscle. My goal is to be regulatly fit with abs and just good muscle. Not bulky. I might check myself out in the mirror and weep because I am in the best shape of my life and I finally can run naked in the beach . But that would quickly die since I am naturally not a person that dwells too much on vanity.

And just for the record, keep working out. For me the hard part is finding motivation. I always worked out to get women, now I workout for myself and to be more confident, yet I find the motivation lacking which leads me to stop working out a day or two in the week. Which is not that bad, unless you eat cookies and donuts.

Girls like guys with abs. Just as we like girls that are fit, beautiful and gorgeous. Most like women with big briasts. I don't since I can't fit my hand around it(Naughty moment).

I guess the girl wanted to be the exception. Maybe her weight told her she might not have a chance, so she ignored him or perhaps she doesn't like ripped guys. Maybe even both. I myself try to stray clear of overly gorgeous women, because I always had bad luck with them in terms of relationship. And most are [censored]y, to be honest. Conceited, narcassistic and shallow drama queens. Some, not all.

All in all, I think working out is good, especially in a naturally shallow society who values attractiveness.
