Ladies - what amount of hair do you prefer in a man?

In any case, posting a thread asking whether or not "bald" is acceptable somewhat prejudices the response, because I think it will draw more bald-advocates.

It will be interesting to see how this relates to the age of the lady. I'm guessing that younger women would have a much stronger preference for full hair than older ladies.

Ah, but how would you define a "comb-over"? I've been accused of having one simply by virtue of my parting my hair.

Well, A, it may have more to do with my just having my hair cut.

RE: So sad and hurt

I don't think that's logically warranted. In any case, I'm not sure it matters whether she's real or not. The question is an interesting one for online-daters, since many if not most of us inevitably face the first-time meeting.

How would you handle that meeting?

RE: Would you ladies find bald men datable, or are they out of luck? Honestly!

Well, it's nice to see that some women aren't terribly concerned about one's hair or lack thereof. On the other hand, some women are, and I'm surprised more women here don't come forward and say: "I strongly prefer a full head of hair (or thick hair." I'm surprised by that, because I would think that the majority of women, if given a choice, would prefer a full head of hair.

RE: So sad and hurt

I just thought I'd add this, since no one else did: I can understand why the guy was upset. You want someone to trust in you, especially if you've spent a LOT of time talking to them, and it doesn't feel good to be doubted like this, even if that doubt is fully rational and understandable.

Where I'd fault him is not so much his feelings, but rather the extremeness of his response, and his failure to acknowledge the merits of your request. I'm not sure how your conversation went, but I expect he was complaining and expressing hurt that you didn't trust him sufficiently, and was taking it (too) personally that you wanted to take this safety measure.

I've been in exactly this position a couple of times, and I know how it feels not to be trusted - even if you know the other person has reasonable grounds for taking safety precautions.

Be careful, Navy. You might have to accuse people who find you attractive because you've put in the work on your body shallow, too.

RE: US Justice

If it makes you feel any better, I'm sure he could be tried for all manner of crimes by the time he leaves office. I don't see much difference between Obama and Bush (except the tan and the accent).

RE: Too overweight to date?

I can relate. Once I was walking down the street shirtless in the evening. Some young girls drove by, and one of them cried: "Fat!"

I was extremely surprised. After all, I cycled, jogged, and lifted weights. I thought I looked okay at a minimum. I wasn't so much offended as startled.

So I went home and stood in front of the mirror shirtless and asked my wife if she thought I looked fat. She said (wisely;-): "No." But I could see that was carrying a bit of extra weight. I didn't have much by way of splits in my abs, for instance.

But by those young girls' standards, I'm guessing, maybe I did look rather fat - or at least not buff enough to be strutting around without a shirt. In retrospect, I think they had a point.

Now, of course, in the same situation, I'm sure they would've all wolf-whistled at my body.

RE: US Justice

At least we're brothers in one respect - we both like to work out (assuming that's really you in those photos!).

RE: US Justice

You should check your quotation boxes, Blaine - looks like you're either arguing or talking to yourself. I hate that when it happens at home. I figure I'm okay as long as I don't answer myself.

But I think you're referring to me. And yes I am smart in shades. But you're wearing shades as well, so perhaps we're really brothers at heart?

RE: Too overweight to date?

Oh, I do - that's why I said "rough guides" and "obviously could be exceptions."

I've seen large-framed ladies that would look fine at much higher weights than smaller-framed ladies. Same applies to men. Also, someone with more muscle mass can handle more weight and still look good.

RE: Too overweight to date?

The effects of your workouts are pretty obvious, Navy - and as you might've noticed, I'm kind of fussy about physical conditioning. I have no idea what he was thinking. Perhaps he was looking for a swimsuit model? Too bad he couldn't have waited a few more months, because you just might get there at this rate.

I usually don't begrudge someone their tastes, but in this case, I have to wonder if the dude was being a tad silly and shallow. Most women your age can't match the photos of your body on your profile. I really don't get it. Also, he sounds like an a**hole for his comment. He could've found a nicer way to excuse himself from dating you.

RE: Too overweight to date?

Also, it makes a big difference if you exercise (particularly weight-lifting), because that allows you maintain more weight and still look good. Without any muscle tone, you might look overweight at a lower weight, for instance.

RE: Too overweight to date?

Hmmm...well, that's puzzling. Those photos of you in those gym clothes are recent, no? You look like you're in better than average shape, Navy. I can't imagine any guy in your age-range not being thrilled by your appearance at this point? Or is that someone else in those photos?

RE: US Justice

I thought it might entail some form of waist reduction program (that's why you spoke of "waisting" there)?

RE: US Justice

Well, my first residential choices were "Minx" and "Fox," but property was just too high there for some reason. On the other hand, I could've bought a house in "Weasel" or "Stoat," so things could've been worse.

RE: US Justice

Does living in California involve some form of exercise/diet plan ("waisted")?

RE: US Justice

The first sounds good. Not sure about "Buch." Bush, however, should be tried for war crimes (note how I made "crime" plural).

Not sure about their relation to lubricants and medicine chest. The lubricants in my medicine chest are legal in most states...I think.

RE: Too overweight to date?

I assume you mean some guys told you that in the past, Navy?

I think anything that makes you more attractive by general tastes, including your physical conditioning, improves your odds of finding romantic fulfillment - that is, you'll appeal to more people. You may even appeal to healthier people, which could offer advantages besides esthetic ones.

What one considers overweight, of course, is a matter of opinion. Certainly a person's overall physical shape/condition is extremely important to me, but I'm not sure I could give you precise figures as to what I would find attractive or unattractive. Roughly, I'd say a little extra fat or a few extra pounds would be okay, if the person seemed in basic reasonable condition. Of course, people mean different things by a "few extra pounds." Let's say you're 5' 6" and a weight where you'd look slim would be 110 - 120. That's probably the weight range I would prefer. A few extra pounds would mean, maybe, 130. By the time you've reached 140 at that height, I think I would begin to find it hard to be attracted to you physically. But those are rather rough guides, and there obviously could be exceptions.

RE: US Justice

Maybe a leprechaun really hands over a few million in gold when you reach the end of the rainbow?

Our incarceration rates/policies have everything to do with politics and nothing to do with justice. They're an absolute disgrace. A huge percentage of prisoners are in for non-violent and victimless crimes (drug use or selling). It's imprisonment for profit in the US - driven largely by industries that have developed around the business of imprisonment and by powerful prison guards unions (especially in California!).

RE: My turn "and he was bad" ????

If you speak to him as you are speaking here, I can understand why he'd want to go visit "Janeen" or perhaps do some plumbing. Maybe even dig a ditch somewhere.

RE: My turn "and he was bad" ????

Impossible to do anything but wildly speculate based on the incomplete (and fairly incoherent) account given here.

RE: No pics on profile?

I don't see why you feel the need to snub them twice.

RE: No pics on profile?

By the way, if you have any doubts regarding my humility, please note the "puddy cat" over my right shoulder. Now THAT creature is definitely full of herself. Maybe it's infectious?
