Bald can be sexy, men



My coworker has been giving me a hard time the last couple of weeks because I revealed to him that I'm attracted to bald men. His response was, "No guy wants to hear that!" Men should be relieved to hear a woman say that, in my opinion.

I think maybe my realization of this attraction started with Howie Mandell. He rocks the bald top! Plus, his soul patch is amazing! I've never dated a bald guy but I do find them attractive. Perhaps it's because bald denotes that a man is slightly older, mature, experienced.

The truth is the comb over is awful. Men, baldness happens. How you deal with it is most important. We all know men who won't shave their heads because they want to keep whatever hair they have. They may have an awkward bald spot in the middle of the back, a major receding hairline or--the worst--the horseshoe hair (hair only on the sides and back with total baldness on top). None of these hairstyles look good at all. But, if you'll just shave off what little you have, you could look really good. Plus, hanging on to that little bit really just shows your insecurity about it. Embrace who you are, accept the hair loss and just let it go!

Perhaps my attraction is an odd one and maybe it reveals that I have some serious issues, but I invite all men everywhere to find solace and encouragement by my attraction. Trust me, I'm not the only woman who is into baldness. Although no one else is willing to admit it, total baldness definitely looks better than working the comb over. And I think we can all agree that bald is much better than trying to sport a toupee!

Release your insecurities, fellas! Bald can be beautiful!
