What are my chances?

[Anonymous]

I am a 48 year old man, recently divorced. I am a bit lacking in the hair department upstairs, but otherwise fit, intelligent, a great conversationalist with a good sense of humor. What are my chances of dating and finding someone again?

You're a guy. You'll always have the upper hand. Especially in an area like DC. Too many women here.

I would say your chances are very good.
Don't feel self-conscious about your thinning hair or baldness - it's not a big deal at all.

This. Somebody I work with (older than you) is always going on about his lack of hair. If it were a different setting, I would tell him he's hot, because he is! I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Very, very good.

OP. Thanks. I am just curious. I am moving to Washington after a few years of separation. During the separation, I seemingly had no lack of attention by women, although I did not pursue anything and I have no lack of female friends. I am not sure the latter is indicative of anything. Although, one, whose opinion I highly value, termed me to be quite chivalrous and honorable.

40 yr. old divorced woman, dating a 47 yr. old divorced guy. When I was 38, I dated two men (not at the same time!) who were 49. With age (hopefully) comes maturity, experience, understanding, etc. None of these men would have caught my eye in a bar way back when. Balding/thinning hair is not an issue for me -- so to answer your question, I'd say, chances are good!

What matters more than your lack of hair is whether you have a steady, decent job and whether you have kids.

I know this sounds silly, but shave your head. My friend started balding at 34 and had a receding hairline that made him look 54. He shaved his head and looks amazing.

From what I've seen, women have the upper hand when it comes to finding a one night stand or relationship that is based on the desire to have sex. Any woman that is willing to put out can find someone who wants to put it in her.

On the other hand, it seems that men have the upper hand when it comes to forming long term relationships that are based on, well, having a relationship. Not sure why this is. I think maybe more women want this kind of relationship so in comparison there are fewer available (or at least looking) men.

Don't worry about your balding head. Yes, some women may be put off by it. Those probably weren't the ones you really wanted anyway. But just as with, uh, size issues, I think hair loss is something men worry about far more than women do. You could try the shaving your head trick a poster mentioned if you want. It looks hot on some men and not others. But don't get a hair piece or even worse, let your remaining hair grow long and try to use it to cover the bald spots. Those things are just ridiculous.

Get involved in things you enjoy, and of course be friendly at work and in the neighborhood you live in. Lots of women are incorrigible matchmakers, and as soon as you get somewhat friendly with one of those and she realizes you are available, you'll probably have dates whether you want them or not. Also, I would not be afraid to try one of those matchmaking websites.

Just a little caveat to what everyone saying about balding not being an issue. It isn't and won't be if you are dating women who are 35+. If you are going to try to go for women in their 20s, then it might be an issue. Otherwise, you should have no problem.

I don't shave it, but keep I closely cut. I actually look much younger with cropped than when it starts to grow out. The it is unruly where it grows.
