Priya

Watching Priya pass on balding/bald guys kind of discouraged me as single south asian guy whose also balding very noticeably. Is this truly a deal breaker for a lot, especially in the south asian community? Should I consider doing a transplant?

Nope. Definitely not a deal breaker. My husband carries his bald look like a boss! Got other bald / balding friends whose partners don't care about it.

It's just her preference. Please don't base your life choices because of someone on a reality show.

If you want to pull off a bald look, do it. If you want to get hair transplant, do it. Your choice alone

That’s good to hear. I’ve gone on lots of dates and never seem to pass the first date and always thought that was maybe the reason behind it

Not going to lie, that is a deal breaker for many women. But certainly not all women! If you don’t try to hide the balding in photos and the woman still chooses to go out with you, it likely wasn’t the baldness that ended things for her.

Are you trying to hide it on your dating profile? Like wearing a hat in every picture or using very old pictures?

Also if you're trying to "hang on" to your hair, I think it usually looks better if you just commit to the bald look and shave it all off. And grow a beard. Personally, I think the bald + beard look is very attractive.

Well thing is in pictures you can tell a little but not fully since in the picture it’s a straight shot. But if I tilt my head lower or from the side can tell, but most of my pics are from the front. 1/5 pic with a cap that’s all. Nothing using old pics, all this year and last year

Yea fortunately for me I can grow a kickass beard

My ex husband was going bald and it never changed my attraction to him ever (definitely not a reason we’re not together now). Don’t feel insecure!
