Where acceptance is all there is!
Sure I'm only 18 years old and have most of my hair but when I really think about it, what girl would want to date a guy who has bald spots. I mean mine are covered but there's others out there who don't have them covered or have a third of their eyebrow left. It certainly keeps me up at night wondering if I'll have one. Actually does more than keep me up at night, sadly. So my question is where do I start? How do I go about bringing up my alopecia? Or is literally every guy and girl shallow that they can't see past it? Please respond and help me and others out!

Bald can look super good on guys - if I were you I would just own it! The bald spots might throw a girl off (which sucks) but if you just own being bald I think that's super attractive. I know what you mean - I'm a 19 year old girl with alopecia. It's sort or scary to think about it and to tell someone that you're into that you don't have hair. Good luck!
I can definitely understand your situation, I often feel the exact same in regards to guys. But as may have said, if a girl can't accept you for who you are as a person then it's not worth the time. Honestly though, you are such an attractive guy, if only you lived in Calgary..
I was just upfront and honest about it right away so if any one had a problem with it they could bounce right away. Not everyone is as shallow as you may think people will suprise you. You just have to be honest right away.
I met my husband while I was bald. I was no longer wearing wigs and he thought I was beautiful. In fact in he refers to me as “the beautiful woman who just happens to be bald”. There are going to be those that mind and there are going to be those that don't mind. Your job is to focus on the ones that don't. You are going to have to try to get to a place that you challenge your beliefs about alopecia. Is it really true that people with alopecia do not date, marry, have children... this site alone is proof enough that it is not true.
I thought I would let the responses from the community speak to you. So, I have a few link you may be interested in read to help you: Happy reading!
