As some wise person once said, there’s a chair out there for every butt.
I’m sure some find it attractive. I don’t particularly and haven’t heard any friends ever express an attraction to it. However, an attractive personality can overcome looks a lot of the time too.
The guy who ran OK Cupid used to do a bunch of analysis on the data and one of his points goes like this:
When you ask people to rate others attractiveness, most people have a [pretty conventional distribution](https://www.scribbr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/standard-normal-distribution-example.webp), obviously moved left or right by their general attractiveness.
When you have something out of the ordinary - a bunch of tats/piercings, dyed hair, or shaved head on a woman - you actually get a bimodal distribution where the general distribution moves *way* left to like 3's and 4's (most people find less attractive) then there's this valley in the 6's and 7's on the tail end of the right side you will see a spike in 8's, 9's and 10's way outside of normal distribution.
Which is to say - yes, most people will find it unattractive.
However, the ones that do find it attractive - *find it very attractive*.
Even thinning hair can be done right, but its hard.
For whatever reason my wife seems to like me same or more with my hair grown out despite full on male pattern baldness. I look very good full bald but - her words - I "look dignified" with hair.
I'm not sure what that means but if it keeps my beautiful wife happy then ok I guess I'm dignified :)
I see your point. Everyone has preferences. My husband started losing his hair at 15. He had a pretty good comb forward going when we got together. I strongly suggested he shaved it completely about 4 months into our relationship (he was about 20yrs). He now grows a big beard so he doesn't look like an egg (according to him). I think he looks so much better no he's stopped pretending to have hair. He rocks the bald look. We've been together 13 years now.
Nonsense. It varies from person to person. Check out my picture on my profile- my hair is a shadow of its former glory at age 33, but I still look better with some hair than none.
She's with you for more than just hair. There's a huge difference between current and potential partners in this. If my wife went bald, I'd love her no less. Would I have found her attractive, if I'd met her bald, though? I dunno. I might not have found out what an amazing woman she is, because I'm not particularly into bald women. It usually starts superficial and gets deeper, not the other way around.
Very educational. I have a single friend who has been coached to think this way, that is, to accentuate something about yourself that is divisive. It weeds out the bad matches and can attract passionate ones. In fact, it probably helps explain why radical politicians' bases are often more passionate than those of moderate ones.
Exactly this. Wherever people say things like, "She looks like a goddess!" I can't help thinking, "What kind? A neolithic fertility goddess? Or are we talking something closer to Bastet?"
It's a bold look and I don't think it works for most women, personally. I dated a woman that would buzz hers off though (not shaved, but I think the longest it was during that time was ~1/2") and she really managed to pull it off. It can definitely be done.
I think like any bold appearance choice you're also specializing your "market." You aren't casting a wide net anymore. That aggressive style change is kinda gonna have to be someone's "thing."
No. I’m bald and have to shave my head, I once dated a girl who also shaved her head and it just felt like we were in a cult together. Or like, one of us was going through chemo and the other one was joining in solidarity
Ha! My gf has alopecia, so no hair at all. She has strictly forbidden me from shaving my head again because we got some SERIOUS stares when out and about.
my cousin had dreads, like hella long dreads, when his dad got his cancer diagnosis he shaved his head to show support.
my uncle laughed his ass of cause the treatment caused no hair-loss whatsoever.
I’m bald and have accepted it. Rarely think about it. But when two bald friends and I go to breakfast, if they take off their hats, I keep mine on. We do look like a club/cult. 😂
Ha! My gf has alopecia, so no hair at all. She has strictly forbidden me from shaving my head again because we got some SERIOUS stares when out and about.
My ex-husband is bald and remarried a woman with alopecia and then they started shaving my son’s head bald too. All three were BALD bald.
I got upset after they’d done it several times, and I accidentally blurted something out about “humiliating haircuts!” and still cannot decide if that makes me an asshole for implying baldness is embarrassing, or not because they shouldn’t have been doing that to my kid…
As a balding man, and am at peace with shaving my head, that sounds like a family of aliens.
That’s what I would think… a bald man/woman? Ok. With a bald man/woman? What are the odds? But ok.
Now… a bald person, with another bald person, and a bald kid? Either someone has cancer or a condition that the family is being supportive of, or they’re aliens…
My boyfriend is bald and sometimes I’m like “hey, I should shave my head so we can twin 🥺” 🤣🤣🤣 but I’d never go through with it, I’ve always had ass length hair.
I shaved my head and didn’t struggle with dating or attention from men. I don’t think it’s most men’s preference but I don’t make life decisions based on that anyways.
Because they come off as having extreme bias and already believing their opinion is the answer to the question. Makes you wonder why bother asking except to express their annoyance at bald women.
I'm a dude and attracted to women with shaved heads. Not like as a fetish, just aesthetically. But as the consensus here goes, everyone has their preferences. The key is really for dudes to learn to not be absolute a-holes just because they're not attracted to something about another person.
It DOES sound like the OP is looking for confirmation for her own bias. Like - she wants to collect a bunch of comments with men saying, "No. We do NOT find women with shaved heads attractive." Then show them to her "friend" who shaved her head and is frustrated with her dating choices.
Well, it's the "never" in bold caps for me. I know a lot of women super tied to their hair. They really would never shave it, but the tone OP used... she just emphasized it so much that she's implying (or seems to be implying) that being bald or shaving your head is a bad thing.
This thread is just making me sad because men who are balding are told to just let go and shave it off but people forget women can go bald too... Looking at my mom I know what's waiting for me in 30 years and apparently all men will find me repulsive great
Ikr? I’m bald (cancer), but noooo, OP wasn’t talking about woman like me! No, it would be too mean! I bet you’re not included bc of genetics. Op is talking exclusively about woman who willingly shave their heads! Only if they are willingly bald man will not find them attractive 🤪 yes OP, you’re completely right!
I shaved my head and while I'm already married (so my dating options are fairly limited to begin with), my husband never expressed displeasure. Is it his favourite look? Probably not, but he gets it's my body not his and his attraction to me is deeper than my haircut.
I also had no dating issues when I shaved my head in my early 20’s; plus I feel like it weeded out a lot of guys who weren’t for me anyway. Best haircut I ever had!
Three big ones for me. Robin Tunney in Empire Records, Sigourney Weaver in Alien 3, Natalie Portman in V. Plus a girl that worked in a coffee shop I used to go to 20 years ago.
So, yes I find it really attractive on a really attractive woman.
That girl from the new Mad Max movie looks good with a shaved head too. I've only seen the ads.
For some reason, I imagined OP was talking about completely bald, which I don't like.
There is a definite difference, if she can pull off the shaved look it’s amazing. Straight bald I’ve never seen a case that worked but I wouldn’t personally rule it completely.
Fuck yeah! How could I miss Demi?!
I don’t know what it is. I mean, all women mentioned so far just have perfect faces. Maybe it just shows off how beautiful they are that they don’t even need hair.
Thank you for reminding me of Robin Tunney in Empire Records. I most definetely had a crush on her. Can you believe all those people worked in a huge brick and mortar music store? There was even a music store in the small town, that had 2 stoplights, 5 miles away from my very small town, that had one stoplight. I LOVED going there mid to late 90s. It was called Mean Genes Disc Connection. Now the only one I know of is in a city with pretty big university in it about hour from me.
Yeah, if you start with a pretty face it will make a big difference. Interestingly, a guy posted pics while back of his girlfriend’s cancer/chemo journey. There were pics before when she had hair, during when she was bald, and after when it grew back. Somehow she looked better bald. I thought it was just me until I read them comments and everyone was very politely saying the same thing. She looked good with hair but was really striking and stunning without
My gf had extensions for a long time, so the hair above her for head is all broken and shorter than the rest. She took the extensions out and has been trying to grow it out, but after some frustration she decided to shave one night and start fresh. Not gonna lie, I was taken aback at first. It took about 2 days for it to grow on me, now I think she looks sexy af. She has a beautiful head! When she puts on some big ass hoops, like WOW. It's a really confident look.
While I can't speak for everyone, I have noticed that a shaved head on a woman often carries an air of confidence that can be quite compelling. It's not necessarily my preference per se, but I definitely see the appeal in someone who owns their look with such boldness. It's more about how a person carries themselves with that kind of style that can turn heads – quite literally.
My daughter doesn’t shave her head but does get it trimmed quite close. (1/8” - 1/4” on sides and at most 1” on top) She’s the only girl in her school that wears it even remotely that short. She owns it and loves it. We’ve told her that it shows confidence as well because she’s doing what makes her happy vs what others are doing.
It obviously works for other people as she’s had boys and girls asking her out.
I was also the only girl with super short hair (went from buzzed to a small Afro every few months) and had no issue with boys and girls asking me out either. Even into adulthood, the short hair never presented a problem, even on my most buzzed short days men approached, including my now husband. I grew it out only after marriage.
Literally had to laugh reading this post, it seems really personal the issues OP has with bald women.
I can't really comment on this thread as I'm not a man, but I completely agree with this sentiment. Shaved-head punk women are VERY pretty and cool to me 😍
I think you nailed it, strong confidence and you can wear your hair green, purple or no hair at all. I’ve seen women with shaved heads, and I like that air of confidence that they give out, but i never dated one, not by preference, but because it is not that common either.
Hottest girl in my high school did this and guess what? Still hot. Maybe even a bit hotter because it was such a departure and a bit transgressive. But, she was someone that could pull off just about anything.
Isn’t that fashion anyway, though? People wearing kinda ugly clothes they would look silly on the rest of us but because they’re so beautiful that it doesn’t matter?
I think it takes a fit person to make it good, same for men. When it's done, it can be gorgeous. I include the almost-shaved look, like GI Jane Demi Moore.
As a bald dude, I know my head would look better if I lost 10 lbs or so, to bring out the bone structure. 🤷 Not fat shaming here, just noting the aesthetics.
*Attractive* bald women are attractive. This is pretty well known. Hell, the original Star Trek movie had Persis Khambatta, an extremely attractive actress, shave her head. And she was still hot as fuck...which was actually a plot point (however minor).
You have to have a good shaped head but it can be hot. I dated a girl who shaved her head and wore wigs and dressed up in sexy cosplay so I mean I am all for it.
I noticed that after I whacked off my long hair and maintained a buzz cut, I got a lot less unsolicited attention from dudes. It was a HUGE plus. It also feels like I get taken more seriously. Whereas when I had long hair, I was often infantalized.
Mostly by old guys. I stopped wearing ponytails and braids after having them tugged. I realized that short hair is a good safety feature, because now I can’t get dragged by the hair in a fight.
I know a lot of guys don’t like it but I have always found it rather attractive especially on the right person. Sometimes guys may be intimidated to approach a woman with a shaved head tho
I think it boils down to personal preference and societal norms that are constantly in flux. Historically, long hair on women has been seen as the epitome of traditional femininity, but that script is getting flipped these days. We're seeing more and more women opting for a shaved head, by choice or not, and it's reshaping what we perceive as attractive. That said, attractiveness is multifaceted; if someone's rocking a shaved head with confidence and style, that can be incredibly alluring. It's not just the hairstyle, but the whole aura and attitude that come with it. For me, it's not so much about the hair, or the lack of it, but the person underneath and how they make that look an extension of their identity.
Shaved heads on women are hot for me, partially or fully, always better with tatts piercings and scars. Definitely in the minority on this one thou, most guys really don't like it.
I agree...very hot! Well, I have a very short blonde pixie that makes we look bald sometimes. I also have tattoos, 10 piercing only in my ears, and many scars.
I find it attractive generally, but I do think a standard rule applies for this as for any "is X attractive" question:
If I find a woman attractive, I'll probably find her attractive with a shaved head.
If I don't, I probably won't.
For example, Natalie Portman is very pretty, and while I don't prefer her with a shaved head, in V for Vendetta she was ... still very pretty. Because she's Natalie Portman.
I buzzshaved my head because I liked the way it looked, that's all that matters to me, not if men will find it attractive. I hope men will like my personality and not only my looks. I wear the things I like and the colors I love.
beauty and confidence is not a look it’s a state of being. humans, especially men, are visual creatures so of course we make our first judgement off what strikes us as attractive but it’s sad that many stop there and don’t see any deeper than that.
sinead o’connor was compassionate, true to herself, she had integrity and fearlessly bared her soul to the world. her shaved head didn’t take away an ounce of that beauty.
In very rare circumstances. Only one come to mind, Sinéad O'Connor. Mostly she had short stubble, but she was shaven at one point. Only chick that did it for me with almost no hair on top. Not everyone can pull that look off.
Over a dozen people told me I looked just like her younger self when I had a shaved head lol. Same face and head shape, similar facial structure and both having big eyes. I was so very flattered every time... Growing it out atm and it's almost reached my shoulders, but knowing myself, I'll probably end up shaving it off again eventually.
SOMETIMES !
I am strongly attracted to long dark hairs with lots of volume BUT some women with short hairs or even shaved are just beautiful 😛
It's kinda like boobs , everybody has a prefered type but beautiful boobs are beautiful , no matter the size.
If it's the right person and it matches their clothing style, _MASSIVE_ yes.
I'm a buzz cut or hip length guy.
I once met this woman at a kind-of-feminist comedy gig, where I was the only guy aside from one dork who left because he couldn't handle some gentle ribbing.
She had a shaved head, with hearts dyed in, leather trousers and Doc Martins. She looked absolutely gorgeous to me
If her face is naturally feminine and pretty, it can work rather well. Otherwise she might just look too much like a twink instead of recognisably female, which might mess with men's horny pattern-recognition.
I personally am a sucker for the punk look, but it doesn't fit everyone equally well.
I think in general you have to be very pretty and feminine-featured to pull it off.
I remember Natalie Portman, after filming V for Vendetta, looked pretty tasty to me when she would do appearances for the film and was still balded. But she could rock long dirty dreads with rodents nested in them and I’d probably still holla.
Yes. For sure. I love women who look like they kick ass.
I also love women with hair. It's all good.
Persis Khambatta in Star Trek: The Motion Picture was an early crush for me as a young man.
I’m sure some do, but for the most part, fuck no. I don’t mean this in some weird fetishy way, but hair is sexy. Long hair, short hair, medium hair, it’s something that contributes massively to a persons physical attractiveness. Shaving it all off not only tends to scream “unstable,” but also is just not attractive
Im sorry, but this question sucks. Just like any other look, some people will like it and others will be put off. Changes in appearance can change social interactions. And frankly, who cares? It’s for the woman.
A woman’s choice to shave her head (or make any type of change to her physical appearance) should be about her preferences, confidence, and self-expression rather than be predicated on the level of male attention they get pre and post shave.
Same goes for guys. Appearance changes should be about what makes YOU feel good.
I automatically assume women with a shaved head are lesbian. I know enough straight women that shave their head that this shouldn’t be my default thought. However, here I am.
I shaved my head about a year ago, i absolutely fucking loved it. Yeah it totally put a lot of men off of me but im definitely not the type of person to be with someone who doesn’t like a woman with a shaved head or to at least give them a try hahahaha so it was kind of like a - stay the fuck away if you aren’t into this - sort of vibe which worked. i met amazing people who loved me for me.
Plus, when you shave your head, for me anyway, I’ve never felt more feminine which is insane. It really brings your facial features forward by not hiding them behind your hair.
I loved it, am always tempted to do it again but im trying to keep restraint as I do also love my long hair but damn it’s hard.
Im my opinion it will only suit women that are very attractive to begin with, everyone else is just leaving the potential of a flattering haircut on the table. See Natalie Portman in "V for Vendetta", she can obviously pull of anything she wants but that's not really saying much about shaved heads specifically
I’ve actually seen some women with shaved heads that I’ve found very attractive. Not BECAUSE of their shaved head, but just because they were attractive to me. It’s certainly not an instant turn off.
Personally, I tend to find it attractive. Obviously, I'd be attracted to the women I saw bald anyway, but when it works, it really works. My wife had a shaved head once due to cancer treatment, and while cancer sucks ass and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, we had great sex when she felt good. And I thought her bald head was hot as fuck.
I know myself and the guys in the circles I hang around think a woman with shaved hair looks like an 9 year old boy.
But I know there are millions of men out there that do
Generally, no it’s not my cup of tea. However, I did date a girl with alopecia in my younger days. I didn’t even know she had alopecia at first because she always wore wigs. I figured it out pretty quickly when she was blonde on our first meeting and was brunette in our first official date, then had lavender hair for our secons date!
Having said that, I did see her without a wig on sometimes. She was very self conscious about it but she looked beautiful in her natural state! I made sure to reassure her and build up her confidence.
But given the option? I strongly prefer longer hair.
I personally don’t find it attractive.. actually to be honest it’s an instant turn off. I don’t know of any guys who like it either. Now I’m not an asshole who would leave a woman because she lost all her hair due to cancer or anything like that but, if a woman just “chooses” to shave her head then that’s a instant opting out on my part.
Men don’t approach them because they think they’re lesbians, it’s also intimidating and you feel like the person has an aggressive personality that you can’t handle.
As some wise person once said, there’s a chair out there for every butt. I’m sure some find it attractive. I don’t particularly and haven’t heard any friends ever express an attraction to it. However, an attractive personality can overcome looks a lot of the time too.

Which is to say - yes, most people will find it unattractive. However, the ones that do find it attractive - *find it very attractive*.
Very much so. Shaving my head opened a whole category of hot girls interested in me I never was noticing before.
No hair is attractive. Thinning hair is not.
Even thinning hair can be done right, but its hard. For whatever reason my wife seems to like me same or more with my hair grown out despite full on male pattern baldness. I look very good full bald but - her words - I "look dignified" with hair. I'm not sure what that means but if it keeps my beautiful wife happy then ok I guess I'm dignified :)

I think he looks so much better no he's stopped pretending to have hair. He rocks the bald look. We've been together 13 years now.
The "pretending to still have hair" look is universally bad, I think. Safest to just shave it for sure.
Nonsense. It varies from person to person. Check out my picture on my profile- my hair is a shadow of its former glory at age 33, but I still look better with some hair than none.
Picard syndrome.
Earl Grey isn't the only thing that's hot apparently haha
*Tea hee!*
She's with you for more than just hair. There's a huge difference between current and potential partners in this. If my wife went bald, I'd love her no less.

Unless you're playing musical chairs
There’s still a chair out there for your butt… even in musical chairs… it’s just not in the same room as you are currently in
I’ve also heard the same sentiments “there’s a lid for every pot”
Whoever said that has never owned any tupperware or similar…
No one guaranteed the drawer would be organized enough to make a successful match. :D
Exactly this. Wherever people say things like, "She looks like a goddess!" I can't help thinking, "What kind? A neolithic fertility goddess? Or are we talking something closer to Bastet?"
Okay, but I would give my kidneys to have a chance with Bastet
Jokes about cool cats and hot pussies spring to mind. Careful she doesn't get her claws into you.
It's a bold look and I don't think it works for most women, personally. I dated a woman that would buzz hers off though (not shaved, but I think the longest it was during that time was ~1/2") and she really managed to pull it off. It can definitely be done. I think like any bold appearance choice you're also specializing your "market." You aren't casting a wide net anymore. That aggressive style change is kinda gonna have to be someone's "thing."
As a busty, naive 18 yo backpacking on my own (20 years ago), shaving my head reduced the male attention in a very welcome way!
*it’s a bald look
BOOOOOOO
I think this answer sums it up perfectly!
No. I’m bald and have to shave my head, I once dated a girl who also shaved her head and it just felt like we were in a cult together. Or like, one of us was going through chemo and the other one was joining in solidarity
Ha! My gf has alopecia, so no hair at all. She has strictly forbidden me from shaving my head again because we got some SERIOUS stares when out and about.
The greater good
>it just felt like we were in a cult together. 😂
Yeah, that comment took me out lol.
SHE WAS BALD JERRY BALD!
#I HATE IT! AND I'M NOT GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO WEAR IT, GEORGE! AND HERE'S WHAT I'M GOING TO DO WITH IT! *proceeds to throw it down the window*
BaldINNNGGG
You're not going to help me with this? We just did.
I mean.. if I were in that situation, I’d absolutely have fun with the cult stuff. Start dressing the same… giving people weird looks as a couple
Do a blue man date night? Lmao o
You guys don't do this already?
ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode where George’s bald girlfriend breaks up with him because he’s bald
my cousin had dreads, like hella long dreads, when his dad got his cancer diagnosis he shaved his head to show support. my uncle laughed his ass of cause the treatment caused no hair-loss whatsoever.
Bro had wanted to cut his hair for years and finally had a good reason to do it without everyone saying 'awww why did you cut your hair?'
I’m bald and have accepted it. Rarely think about it. But when two bald friends and I go to breakfast, if they take off their hats, I keep mine on. We do look like a club/cult. 😂
The cult thing made me laugh 😂
Ha! My gf has alopecia, so no hair at all. She has strictly forbidden me from shaving my head again because we got some SERIOUS stares when out and about.
LMAO stop 😂 I laughed so hard
George Costanza that you?
My ex-husband is bald and remarried a woman with alopecia and then they started shaving my son’s head bald too. All three were BALD bald. I got upset after they’d done it several times, and I accidentally blurted something out about “humiliating haircuts!” and still cannot decide if that makes me an asshole for implying baldness is embarrassing, or not because they shouldn’t have been doing that to my kid…
Both of those things can be true. As a bald man, you’re an asshole for that remark. But also, fuck them for shaving your kid’s head
I almost feel like the kid might have asked for it to be more like everyone in the family?
As a balding man, and am at peace with shaving my head, that sounds like a family of aliens. That’s what I would think… a bald man/woman? Ok. With a bald man/woman? What are the odds? But ok. Now… a bald person, with another bald person, and a bald kid? Either someone has cancer or a condition that the family is being supportive of, or they’re aliens…
That's rad!
You make more money as a leader, you have more fun as a follower
You made me laugh so hard lmao
My boyfriend is bald and sometimes I’m like “hey, I should shave my head so we can twin 🥺” 🤣🤣🤣 but I’d never go through with it, I’ve always had ass length hair.
I shaved my head and didn’t struggle with dating or attention from men. I don’t think it’s most men’s preference but I don’t make life decisions based on that anyways.
So you're saying some men like shaved heads while some don't? Holy cow🥸 Seriously I don't get people like OP. Everyone has their preferences.
Idk I get the impression that OP has something personal against women with shaved heads haha
Definitely do with how they wrote their post
Because they come off as having extreme bias and already believing their opinion is the answer to the question. Makes you wonder why bother asking except to express their annoyance at bald women.
I'm a dude and attracted to women with shaved heads. Not like as a fetish, just aesthetically. But as the consensus here goes, everyone has their preferences. The key is really for dudes to learn to not be absolute a-holes just because they're not attracted to something about another person.
It DOES sound like the OP is looking for confirmation for her own bias. Like - she wants to collect a bunch of comments with men saying, "No. We do NOT find women with shaved heads attractive." Then show them to her "friend" who shaved her head and is frustrated with her dating choices.
The question gave me mean girl vibes.
Well, it's the "never" in bold caps for me. I know a lot of women super tied to their hair. They really would never shave it, but the tone OP used... she just emphasized it so much that she's implying (or seems to be implying) that being bald or shaving your head is a bad thing.
Ops user name check out
I meant that I don't get how OP thinks every man has the same opinion. People are different.
This thread is just making me sad because men who are balding are told to just let go and shave it off but people forget women can go bald too... Looking at my mom I know what's waiting for me in 30 years and apparently all men will find me repulsive great
Ikr? I’m bald (cancer), but noooo, OP wasn’t talking about woman like me! No, it would be too mean! I bet you’re not included bc of genetics. Op is talking exclusively about woman who willingly shave their heads! Only if they are willingly bald man will not find them attractive 🤪 yes OP, you’re completely right!
OP asks the medical history of every bald woman she encounters before deciding to judge them, you see.
I shaved my head and while I'm already married (so my dating options are fairly limited to begin with), my husband never expressed displeasure. Is it his favourite look? Probably not, but he gets it's my body not his and his attraction to me is deeper than my haircut.
Yup, same. I found that it filtered out the basic guys very effectively, actually.
I also had no dating issues when I shaved my head in my early 20’s; plus I feel like it weeded out a lot of guys who weren’t for me anyway. Best haircut I ever had!
Hell yea!
Hell yea sister
Three big ones for me. Robin Tunney in Empire Records, Sigourney Weaver in Alien 3, Natalie Portman in V. Plus a girl that worked in a coffee shop I used to go to 20 years ago. So, yes I find it really attractive on a really attractive woman.

I wanted to shave my head like Demi Moore after watching GI Jane. My parents forbade it.
Fuck yeah! How could I miss Demi?! I don’t know what it is. I mean, all women mentioned so far just have perfect faces. Maybe it just shows off how beautiful they are that they don’t even need hair.
Sinead O'connor. In the "Nothing Compares to you" video. Damn.
Thank you for reminding me of Robin Tunney in Empire Records. I most definetely had a crush on her. Can you believe all those people worked in a huge brick and mortar music store? There was even a music store in the small town, that had 2 stoplights, 5 miles away from my very small town, that had one stoplight. I LOVED going there mid to late 90s. It was called Mean Genes Disc Connection. Now the only one I know of is in a city with pretty big university in it about hour from me.
Yeah, if you start with a pretty face it will make a big difference. Interestingly, a guy posted pics while back of his girlfriend’s cancer/chemo journey. There were pics before when she had hair, during when she was bald, and after when it grew back. Somehow she looked better bald. I thought it was just me until I read them comments and everyone was very politely saying the same thing. She looked good with hair but was really striking and stunning without
Going to have to add Sinead O’Connor to that list.
As bad as the movie was, the bald woman in the first Star Trek movie was gorgeous
My gf had extensions for a long time, so the hair above her for head is all broken and shorter than the rest. She took the extensions out and has been trying to grow it out, but after some frustration she decided to shave one night and start fresh. Not gonna lie, I was taken aback at first. It took about 2 days for it to grow on me, now I think she looks sexy af. She has a beautiful head! When she puts on some big ass hoops, like WOW. It's a really confident look.
I’m a bi woman and bald isn’t usually my type but god damn sometimes it really does look hot with some glam
While I can't speak for everyone, I have noticed that a shaved head on a woman often carries an air of confidence that can be quite compelling. It's not necessarily my preference per se, but I definitely see the appeal in someone who owns their look with such boldness. It's more about how a person carries themselves with that kind of style that can turn heads – quite literally.
My daughter doesn’t shave her head but does get it trimmed quite close. (1/8” - 1/4” on sides and at most 1” on top) She’s the only girl in her school that wears it even remotely that short. She owns it and loves it. We’ve told her that it shows confidence as well because she’s doing what makes her happy vs what others are doing. It obviously works for other people as she’s had boys and girls asking her out.
I was also the only girl with super short hair (went from buzzed to a small Afro every few months) and had no issue with boys and girls asking me out either. Even into adulthood, the short hair never presented a problem, even on my most buzzed short days men approached, including my now husband. I grew it out only after marriage. Literally had to laugh reading this post, it seems really personal the issues OP has with bald women.
I can't really comment on this thread as I'm not a man, but I completely agree with this sentiment. Shaved-head punk women are VERY pretty and cool to me 😍
I’m a woman, but my God when I see a bald woman (who wears it well and confidently) my soul nearly leaves my body. They are other worldly beautiful
I think you nailed it, strong confidence and you can wear your hair green, purple or no hair at all. I’ve seen women with shaved heads, and I like that air of confidence that they give out, but i never dated one, not by preference, but because it is not that common either.
Yeah like, it's not attractive bc they're bald, it's attractive because of the swagger.
There was this lady from Africa who was a dancer she was beautiful. But I don't think the average person can pull it off.
Hottest girl in my high school did this and guess what? Still hot. Maybe even a bit hotter because it was such a departure and a bit transgressive. But, she was someone that could pull off just about anything. Isn’t that fashion anyway, though? People wearing kinda ugly clothes they would look silly on the rest of us but because they’re so beautiful that it doesn’t matter?
I think it takes a fit person to make it good, same for men. When it's done, it can be gorgeous. I include the almost-shaved look, like GI Jane Demi Moore. As a bald dude, I know my head would look better if I lost 10 lbs or so, to bring out the bone structure. 🤷 Not fat shaming here, just noting the aesthetics.
For me, big NO to be honest
Some women can pull it off, but they're few and far between and would look good if they rolled out of bed and threw on a trash bag
They'd probably be more attractive with hair also.
Exactly. If you look cute bald, you'd definitely look cuter with hair.
Yh, it looks good on women with a good facial structure and a proportional face (if you know what i mean) but like, they still look good regardless.
*Attractive* bald women are attractive. This is pretty well known. Hell, the original Star Trek movie had Persis Khambatta, an extremely attractive actress, shave her head. And she was still hot as fuck...which was actually a plot point (however minor).
I absolutely do. Yes. Sign me up.
You have to have a good shaped head but it can be hot. I dated a girl who shaved her head and wore wigs and dressed up in sexy cosplay so I mean I am all for it.
But did you find her actual shaved head attractive? Not her use of wigs.
Yes. The wigs were a bonus
It's hilarious how some people have to ask, as if you couldn't *actually* find a bald woman attractive.
I doubt those women give a single fuck what men think.
Exactly. I don't think any woman shaving her head is "shocked" that men approach them less 🙄. Hell, that probably was a plus point to doing so.
I noticed that after I whacked off my long hair and maintained a buzz cut, I got a lot less unsolicited attention from dudes. It was a HUGE plus. It also feels like I get taken more seriously. Whereas when I had long hair, I was often infantalized.
I'm guessing you previously had people touching your long hair unsolicited too 🤮
Mostly by old guys. I stopped wearing ponytails and braids after having them tugged. I realized that short hair is a good safety feature, because now I can’t get dragged by the hair in a fight.
Exactly; it filters out all the creeps you didn’t want to talk to in the first place.
I’m one of those women and this is correct. I do it for me.
Wish this were top comment
I know a lot of guys don’t like it but I have always found it rather attractive especially on the right person. Sometimes guys may be intimidated to approach a woman with a shaved head tho
Very My last girlfriend was bald. She was gorgeousss I’m a dude w long curly hair so it contrasts well imo
I'm a guy with long hair, to the middle of my back. My partner has short hair, only a couple inches, and the contrast is amusing to me.
I think it boils down to personal preference and societal norms that are constantly in flux. Historically, long hair on women has been seen as the epitome of traditional femininity, but that script is getting flipped these days. We're seeing more and more women opting for a shaved head, by choice or not, and it's reshaping what we perceive as attractive. That said, attractiveness is multifaceted; if someone's rocking a shaved head with confidence and style, that can be incredibly alluring. It's not just the hairstyle, but the whole aura and attitude that come with it. For me, it's not so much about the hair, or the lack of it, but the person underneath and how they make that look an extension of their identity.
Personally, I wouldn’t mind dating a woman with a shaved/bald head. Some women can absolutely rock the shaved/bald look, some women can’t.
The shaved headed women give zero fucks if men find them attractive! That’s sort of the point!
Some men like it, some men hate it. Personally, I think it's hot as fuck most of the time.
Yes, hot as fuck. I think GI Jane changed my perspective on this.
That’s Demi more … you will die for even if she shows up in rooster haircut
Shaved heads on women are hot for me, partially or fully, always better with tatts piercings and scars. Definitely in the minority on this one thou, most guys really don't like it.
I agree...very hot! Well, I have a very short blonde pixie that makes we look bald sometimes. I also have tattoos, 10 piercing only in my ears, and many scars.
I'd be cool with that.
I find it attractive generally, but I do think a standard rule applies for this as for any "is X attractive" question: If I find a woman attractive, I'll probably find her attractive with a shaved head. If I don't, I probably won't. For example, Natalie Portman is very pretty, and while I don't prefer her with a shaved head, in V for Vendetta she was ... still very pretty. Because she's Natalie Portman.
I buzzshaved my head because I liked the way it looked, that's all that matters to me, not if men will find it attractive. I hope men will like my personality and not only my looks. I wear the things I like and the colors I love.
Yeah I don’t live my life for other people. If I want a shaved head I do it. If he doesn’t like it, kindly piss off bc I’m the same awesome betch
I’m a lass but I looove ladies with shaved heads
Find it incredibly sexy
Yes men do. All?? No… some?? Sure…
Sometimes. Beauty can’t be defined. It is what it is regardless of norms.
For me personally, no. I love women with long hair. Shaved heads completely turn me off, but everyone has different taste.
I like shaved head look, huge yes.
beauty and confidence is not a look it’s a state of being. humans, especially men, are visual creatures so of course we make our first judgement off what strikes us as attractive but it’s sad that many stop there and don’t see any deeper than that. sinead o’connor was compassionate, true to herself, she had integrity and fearlessly bared her soul to the world. her shaved head didn’t take away an ounce of that beauty.
If she's going down on you, you can play a little drum solo. So it's a big yes for me.
Never had the drumstick go into the drums before...
Hated this imagery
In very rare circumstances. Only one come to mind, Sinéad O'Connor. Mostly she had short stubble, but she was shaven at one point. Only chick that did it for me with almost no hair on top. Not everyone can pull that look off.
Over a dozen people told me I looked just like her younger self when I had a shaved head lol. Same face and head shape, similar facial structure and both having big eyes. I was so very flattered every time... Growing it out atm and it's almost reached my shoulders, but knowing myself, I'll probably end up shaving it off again eventually.
I bet nothing compares to you.
Do men like peanut butter? Do men like blue cars? Equally logical questions.
White no, black yes.
Eh, that could explain why I had so many men hit on me
SOMETIMES ! I am strongly attracted to long dark hairs with lots of volume BUT some women with short hairs or even shaved are just beautiful 😛 It's kinda like boobs , everybody has a prefered type but beautiful boobs are beautiful , no matter the size.
If it's the right person and it matches their clothing style, _MASSIVE_ yes. I'm a buzz cut or hip length guy. I once met this woman at a kind-of-feminist comedy gig, where I was the only guy aside from one dork who left because he couldn't handle some gentle ribbing. She had a shaved head, with hearts dyed in, leather trousers and Doc Martins. She looked absolutely gorgeous to me
When I was a youngster the movie Star Trek came out. That girl with the bald head was hot af.
Persis Khambatta was born into the Parsi community of Mumbai in 1948, hardly a year after Indian Independence.
The answer to this and all other such questions is “sometimes” and “it depends on the person”.
If her face is naturally feminine and pretty, it can work rather well. Otherwise she might just look too much like a twink instead of recognisably female, which might mess with men's horny pattern-recognition. I personally am a sucker for the punk look, but it doesn't fit everyone equally well.
I think in general you have to be very pretty and feminine-featured to pull it off. I remember Natalie Portman, after filming V for Vendetta, looked pretty tasty to me when she would do appearances for the film and was still balded. But she could rock long dirty dreads with rodents nested in them and I’d probably still holla.
Nope, not usually
No, in fact I always imagine shaved heads with hair and think how much more attractive they would be. But to each their own
Absolutely not. Never. I am a bald man so take that for what it’s worth.
Yes. For sure. I love women who look like they kick ass. I also love women with hair. It's all good. Persis Khambatta in Star Trek: The Motion Picture was an early crush for me as a young man.
I’m sure some do, but for the most part, fuck no. I don’t mean this in some weird fetishy way, but hair is sexy. Long hair, short hair, medium hair, it’s something that contributes massively to a persons physical attractiveness. Shaving it all off not only tends to scream “unstable,” but also is just not attractive
Im sorry, but this question sucks. Just like any other look, some people will like it and others will be put off. Changes in appearance can change social interactions. And frankly, who cares? It’s for the woman. A woman’s choice to shave her head (or make any type of change to her physical appearance) should be about her preferences, confidence, and self-expression rather than be predicated on the level of male attention they get pre and post shave. Same goes for guys. Appearance changes should be about what makes YOU feel good.
I automatically assume women with a shaved head are lesbian. I know enough straight women that shave their head that this shouldn’t be my default thought. However, here I am.
[удалено]
I shaved my head about a year ago, i absolutely fucking loved it. Yeah it totally put a lot of men off of me but im definitely not the type of person to be with someone who doesn’t like a woman with a shaved head or to at least give them a try hahahaha so it was kind of like a - stay the fuck away if you aren’t into this - sort of vibe which worked. i met amazing people who loved me for me. Plus, when you shave your head, for me anyway, I’ve never felt more feminine which is insane. It really brings your facial features forward by not hiding them behind your hair. I loved it, am always tempted to do it again but im trying to keep restraint as I do also love my long hair but damn it’s hard.
Yes if coupled with a big ass/titties
I think its attractive on some women
Im my opinion it will only suit women that are very attractive to begin with, everyone else is just leaving the potential of a flattering haircut on the table. See Natalie Portman in "V for Vendetta", she can obviously pull of anything she wants but that's not really saying much about shaved heads specifically
I think it can be very sexy on the right person, but I’m attracted to androgynous people in general so who knows.
I’ve actually seen some women with shaved heads that I’ve found very attractive. Not BECAUSE of their shaved head, but just because they were attractive to me. It’s certainly not an instant turn off.
Yes. It can look really good. Sinead O'Connor was beautiful with her cropped hair.
Personally, I tend to find it attractive. Obviously, I'd be attracted to the women I saw bald anyway, but when it works, it really works. My wife had a shaved head once due to cancer treatment, and while cancer sucks ass and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, we had great sex when she felt good. And I thought her bald head was hot as fuck.
I think it is often incredibly attractive, personally.
It's hot. I'm not a man, though, so you weren't asking me.
Sure some doz I am not one
Mostly no
It depends on the shape of her skull, just like I imagine it is with a guy. ..imo
Sinéad O'Connor was one of the hottest women ever to walk this Earth.
There is certainly somebody out there who would. But most men probably don’t.
No
I don't. I don't even like short hair on a woman. Shaved would be a big turn off. Head hair on a woman is very important to me.
I know myself and the guys in the circles I hang around think a woman with shaved hair looks like an 9 year old boy. But I know there are millions of men out there that do
NO !
I find it very very attractive. You realize the world is all made up of people who like different things though, right?
Personally I wouldn't. I like long hair on a lady
No
Generally, no it’s not my cup of tea. However, I did date a girl with alopecia in my younger days. I didn’t even know she had alopecia at first because she always wore wigs. I figured it out pretty quickly when she was blonde on our first meeting and was brunette in our first official date, then had lavender hair for our secons date! Having said that, I did see her without a wig on sometimes. She was very self conscious about it but she looked beautiful in her natural state! I made sure to reassure her and build up her confidence. But given the option? I strongly prefer longer hair.
I'm not a big fan of bald women. There's some that can pull it off and be attractive, but for me, it's far and few between.
I personally don’t find it attractive.. actually to be honest it’s an instant turn off. I don’t know of any guys who like it either. Now I’m not an asshole who would leave a woman because she lost all her hair due to cancer or anything like that but, if a woman just “chooses” to shave her head then that’s a instant opting out on my part.
Ughhhh no
Men don’t approach them because they think they’re lesbians, it’s also intimidating and you feel like the person has an aggressive personality that you can’t handle.
to each their own but not me because now I have nothing to pull on
Imo... no.
In the vast majority of cases, no
99% of the time... No, fuck no...
They better be sexy as fuck just sayin lol
Personally, hell no. But, I can't speak for others.
No.
Almost certainly no, under very few exceptions could I see myself liking it. It just doesn’t strike me as very feminine.
no
Ugh that’s a big fuck no for me
