I’m a woman, not bald. And men always seem to overestimate the effect “head shape” has on their appearances.
Your face is the most attractive part of your head and is what people pay attention to. If you have a fucked up face, it doesn’t matter if you have the most perfect round skull. And if your skull is a little weird, it won’t matter if your face is genuinely attractive. And you could be a very hairy guy, but if your face is ugly, you’re still screwed.
Bald men struggle on dating apps, because almost all men struggle on dating apps. I have never encountered a man who claimed to have a really delightful experience with dating apps unless he was some ridiculously attractive type. Even in the best cases, they still admit it’s a grind.
If you’re depressed because you’re bald, treat your depression the way actually depressed people do. Exercise, socialize, connect to people. And if that doesn’t work, just take pills or whatever.
What you wrote is just vibes + armchair certainty. Hair loss measurably shifts how people are perceived (you can learn it if you read the studies I linked), and those shifts have downstream effects (dating, confidence, social treatment etc). Some guys look great bald, many don't and pretending "head shape doesn't matter" is silly. Hair frames the head and face. Take it away and you're exposing proportions people didn't notice before.
Your claim is basically "if I wouldn’t be upset, nobody should be" and that's not how humans work. Baldness is a real negative signal in a lot of contexts, and "everyone suffers on apps" doesn't erase disadvantages.
Acceptance is great, denial dressed up as pragmatism isn't.
If you don’t look good bald – a head full of hair isn’t going to save you.
If you truly think you don’t look good bald, you can do a million things to pull attention away from your chrome dome. Grow a nice beard, build a fit muscular body, no one is going to care about your bald head.
Some men even appear sexy with a balding head, because they’ve accepted their fate and are just leaning into the style instead of doing comb overs or spraying on hair in some futile attempt to hold on to what is leaving them. Even hair transplants give off some insecure vibes, so make sure they are done to look as natural as possible.
