i do not have alopecia, but i have had several friends(some on this site) who have. after browsing through a few profiles, i was inspired to write. many ladies on this site express their fear of rejection or question their sensual appeal. please believe that many find you VERY SEXXY in your natural state. confidence in presenting oneself AS oneself is super attractive. acceptance of oneself IS strength... remember, evreyone won't get it...but the right people will. and in many ways that gives you an advantage to see who really cares about you... here is a man who sees you as attractive as anyone else on the outside... but it is the inside that is the key to lasting friendship peace & respect
Very uplifting comment, Terrence. It's the first time I've ever heard ANYTHING positive about women with alopecia from the lips of an African-American man. Thank you!
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and more importantly taking the time to visit and join this site. I believe there are more women with alopecia than many believe. Wigs, braids, etc. makes it hard for one to always tell. I think the confidence a woman displays makes the difference and I mirror many of your comments...THANKS!
I really never have been rejected about my condition when I do choose to show my scalp. I dont wear lace wigs at home ,but, I like the so called unnatural look so a man who does not mind has to accept that part of me as well. Even before Alopecia I wore braids and weaves to get a change and a new look. I havealways been confident.
Thanks Terrence for the compliment and friendship....If only you could clone yourself, this world would be such a more loving place for us (Bald women). Thanks so very much again for your warm words. Peace and continual blessings!
Thank you for the words of encouragement Terrence. Every little bit helps and gives me the courage to keep going out their "uncovered". Have a Blessed Day!!!
Hello Terrence,
Hope you have enjoyed checking AW out from time to time. I was happy to see the picture of the woman on your page. I believe I recognize her as the mysterious nameless model of the Ohio Players album cover art. She blazed the way indeed. Thank you for your support of us.
Hugs,

Thanks for the welcome and the positive words Terrence. It's amazing how many adults are into the whole social networking thing! This is new to me. I used to wonder how my kids could stay on facebook for hours at a time. Now I know...it's fascinating. I look forward to many stimulating conversations.
