A bald head is much more attractive than a huge receding hairline. Sometimes it's better to literally cut your losses.
Fair point, and if you're able to grow a short full beard that makes it better imo.
It just makes it look like you have your head on upside down!

lol - the above post talks about not making fun of others, and this one strongly implies that anyone who doesn't go fully bald when losing their hair is worthy of ridicule. I know this whole article is about what will make you more attractive, but how about doing so without pointing out that someone doesn't look good now because of something completely beyond their control? Would you say the same thing to a woman who was losing her hair? "Eww, shave your head, woman -- that's disgusting!"
Exactly. This specific post about male baldness is shite, and whoever concocted it should go f**k itself. Male baldness is an issue for many, noto something to be joked about.

I sure am glad to read this...I had hair dang near down to butt. It started getting noticably thinner on top when I was 25 or so. I always said I was going to shave it when I started losing it, and that's just what I did...Had it cut off and gave it to a place that makes wigs for people that lose their hair to chemo. I wasnt gonna go around sporting a skillet and looking like Riff-Raff from Rocky Horror Picture Show.
You sure did the right thing with shaving and a very good thing with donating! I know a „real life Riff Raff“ who wears his hair in a ponytail thin as a pencil. He would look so much better without that, but I also understand why he just can‘t let go. He‘s a metalhead and long hair has always been very important for him. A friend of mine who used to have long curly hair shaved it off when his hairline started to recede noticeably. He still rocks the moshpit and looks really good. I’m sure, you do too!

This is ridiculous. My boyfriend of 4 years is losing his hair like this (and was before we started dating) and it’s nothing he should be shamed for. He feels pressure to shave it from people like OP. I just kiss him on his head and ruffle his hair and tell him I don’t want him to change how he looks. He’s a good looking guy regardless and this attitude is so ridiculous. As a feminist I’d be equally disgusted if genders were reversed here, as other commenters have pointed out
Started shaving mine during the initial Covid lockdown here when the barbershops closed. Felt liberated and decided to just keep doing it. My hair was beginning to thin out in the top anyway.
Baldness is beautiful!!!! But to each his own. You be you. "Those that matter don't mind and those that mind don't matter" -Dr. Seuss
Uh, no, I find men shaving their heads for this reason ridiculous. If you like how you look bald, go for it. If you like how you look with thinning hair, that's great too. Men should not be shamed for their choices of how they present themselves anymore than women should.
So true. Started shaving my head about 3 years ago. Will never go back.
Have good manners. Manners are free and in unlimited supply. Manners is a super sexy trait.
I said it before, I dont want to be sexy or hot. I want to be a smol bean in an oversized hoodie
Brush your teeth. Twice a day. Floss, too. Check in with your dentist once in a while. Clean healthy teeth are fantastic.
Posture
Calm and confident. Nothing is hotter than being self assured.
Nothing is sexier than asking questions with the intent of listening, not waiting for your turn to speak.
I don't know about it being sexy, per se, but I do feel it's a real need - people want to feel like they are really being heard.
Don't be an a@#$hole, and be respectful of other people.
Stop self-deprecating yourself.
Men who are good with kids. Instantly more attractive to me.
Keep your appearance neat. I used to work retail and I noticed that people treated me WAY better when my hair was cut and my beard was trimmed, which was like 10% of the time because I worked two jobs and my hair grows so fast I couldn't keep up with it. So when I cleaned myself up, I really noticed the change in how people treated me.
Take an interest in the world. Read the news. Watch new series and movies. Try new things.
You have to have something to talk to people about. Something interesting. You can't just talk to them about yourself and your favourite hobby or interest for hours on end.
Being "natural". Gosh, nothing annoys me more than people who completely change the way they behave and try to one-up everyone as soon as they feel or fear the smallest amount of competition.
All the clowns play charades to seem to be someone they are not. That's why watching people go by is so much fun; it's a constant flow of delusional people who think that they are the epitome of fashion and beauty.
Cooking.
I think, if you are looking for a way to impress a girl, then this is a very good idea.
i firmly took this advice when i was in university. threw a dinner party for my friends (because they were my friends, not just because i was trying to impress the women), served a chocolate cheesecake for dessert, got met with a chorus of "oh wow, you would be dangerous to date!" well, hmm, time for a rethink ;)
A decent haircut. I got a different cut a couple months ago and the first comment I got was from a lovely Korean gal at the local convenience store and she said, “you look more handsome since the last time I saw you!”. It’s given me a bit more confidence.
What people consider nice hair is highly subjective, so I can't get fully on board with this one. I've seen many people call black people who wear their hair in their natural texture, in braids, or in dreadlocks "ghetto" and "unkempt," and those people can go ahead and kick rocks. Don't give a hoot what they think.
Have a direction in life. Even if it seems silly to some people, a person making strides toward a goal is hot.
Debatable, it can quickly change to a person being an overachiever with little to no respect for other people.
For guys, boxer briefs. They make your butt look really good.
Live in your own skin, keep yourself clean, and don't be a d$%k. Everything else is just extra frosting on the cake.
Believe that you look attractive. If you act like it, people will believe it alongside you.
Humans act by mimicking others.
If you can’t get yourself to believe your attractive, do what you need to do so you can believe it.
I think I'm fine, but I'm also very aware that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Good pants. You'd be surprised how much the rest of your outfit is irrelevant if you've got a good pair of pants on.
Learn a skill. Find a hobby you love and learn to be really good at it. Especially if it's something you can share or enrich other people's lives with. Like cooking, playing an instrument, gardening, woodworking, knitting, drawing, etc.
I think it’s more important to have the passion for something than to have to be “really good” at something. Hobbies and passion should be enjoyable and not necessarily a competition.

I dont like it when the ends of these say "it will make you hot" isnt someone being "hot" in someone's eyes mean good looking? It isnt based off just etiquette. Society likes to filter out everyone with slight imperfections in the way they look.
Yeah. In my opinion hot and attractive are two different things. Someone can be really good looking (i guess "hot") but still not be attractive. In the same way you can be attractive even if you don't really "have the looks".

Put the phone down. Especially if you're taking a picture of yourself.
What a load of vacuous nonsense - what am I doing reading this shite...? I'm done
One thing I will not, ever, never, absolutely will NOT do is take selfies. I took one only once, the first day face masks were mandated here in my state in 2020. I had seen one of many stupid YouTube videos about how to make masks out of such things as socks (because the world wasn't ready for a pandemic, and there were no real masks yet). I taped a sock to my nose, covering it, so I looked very much like "Snuffleupagus" (Sesame Street), and sent the pic to a group of friends. Made everyone laugh. But that's it. I've not done it before, I've not done it since, and will not!! I hate seeing selfies of others, so why should I bore them with any of me?
