Ladies, what are you're thoughts on Receding hairlines?

Seanf999

Would/does it affect your opinion of a lad?
What age do you just sort of say 'well it was bound to happen'?

I'm 17 and my hairline has gone t*ts up but not much I can/would do about it.
That being said most girls I know like it (it's obviously receding but they like it, it's not like I'm imagining it)
I've even had a sub teacher say I should shave my head because I would look like a young jason statham...
That was a strange experience and I just want to see is it just the girls I know who don't mind/like it or is it across the board?

You're screwed OP. A life in the caves shouting "precious" awaits.

Forest Demon

Shave it or keep it short.

Donkey Oaty

If you're proud to be a baldie, slap your head.

Look at it this way, if anyone ever wants advice on insurance for their beige cardigan, you look like the man to talk too.

Jesus AH is gone real desperate lately.
Worse than before

Shave it all off son, much sexier. A shaved head is rather macho in my opinion.

Before everyone started losing their hair.

Calm down, keep your hair on.

Women will judge a man on his receeding hairline at the drop of a hat but will be routinely horrified by a woman being judged on her appearance. Truth is OP nobody is obliged to be attracted to anybody, whether it's PC or not doesn't really matter.

Your fcuked, shave it all off and wear turtlenecks for the rest of your life. The ladies will love the roll on deodorant look

Ignore the "just shave it all off" brigade. You haven't got some kind of repulsive deformity that you need to conceal from the world.

You'll grow into it.

You don't have a receding hairline, you're just so ugly your hair is running away from your face.

Well if I had a head like a cueball I would be pretty ashamed

Seanf999

Just to clarify I'm not having a quarter (I hope) life crisis, I'm just asking what are you're opinions on it!

BetterThanThou

As a gay man, I figure my opinion means something here. A receding hairline doesn't ruin someone's attractiveness or look, but it can if they don't deal with it correctly. Usually a buzz cut is the best option. If it hasn't receded too much, a fringe might be a viable option, but many hairstyles really don't work with a receding hairline and just make people look like they're trying to cling on to their hair even though it's a lost cause.

I think I'll have to go for 'the babes are back' balding mullet!

chances are you will end up with a fat girl.

I honestly would barely notice it. I'm not very observant though about guys' hair and clothes (I notice these for women far more, probably because I'm a woman and into the shtyle) but I really really don't care about a receding hairline once I like him.
At 17 it's quite young to be happening, but it can happen to a lot of guys not much older.

creolebelle

I'm a woman and I find them kind of cute.

Ah the first glorious realisation of your own mortality.

Unless your head is shaped like that comet the little lander thingy bounced about on.

Uh oh OP this guy ended up with a right munter.

If your hair is the only thing going for you (it is for far, far to many people) then you're fecked. If you can hold a decent conversation and Mr. Winky isn't laughably small you'll be grand.

Most nice ladies aren't averse to burying the baldy fella. That's actually more fun than it sounds.
