So ladies...

Couple few questions...

1. Would you rather have a man with a shaved head (either really close with clippers or razor), a guy who is thinning (not bald yet, but there's not a full field in the meadow), or someone who uses the medical products (i.e. Rogaine) to counteract the natural effects of their genetics?

2. What is the best thing to legitimately say to a woman to strike up a conversation? I always rely on - "What size works best for you?" *wait for disgusted look* "No, I meant I wanted to buy you a house."

    My crush says he has thinning hair. I didn't even notice it because he's bald. I've never had a preference to bald or not but on him it looks mighty fine. And I love rubbing his head too!! :love: So I'd say, I rather him be bald.


    As far as conversation goes, just normal "hi, how are you?" is good enough for me. I don't do cheesy lines. Sure I'll let you splurge $7 on my drink but that's about it when you come to me in that matter.

    Hair is something so small in comparison to personality, so to me, it doesn't matter.

    Striking up a conversation about something on tv, out in public, etc. Telling me they like my smile. Be geniune, that's what gets me.

    1. Not too sure about that. (the hair thing)

    2. But for striking up a convo... I would say best starting off with polite greetings and start off with talking about interests, hobbies, etc. Get to know what she is like! That's important because it would make her feel you are actually listening and taking the time out to really get to know who she is, what she likes, etc. :)

    Hair doesn't matter as long as you're confident about it...I always have crushes on bald guys :love:

    Just saying hi with a nice smile works well for me!

    1. I didn't know I had a preference until I looked in my past... The last 4 guys I was attracted to are bald. Haha.

    2. Cheesy lines make me want to throw up, unless I'm the one using it!! I would watch the girl (not too hard and creepy) and try to find something she likes, then talk about that. Like for me, I'm usually always wearing something with the San Jose Sharks logo on it, my keys, jacket, hat.. So when I guy starts talking about hockey instead of hitting on my first, it totally works!! I don't like to be chased.

    I have dated all different types from one end of the spectrum to the other. If they can make you laugh, have a conversation with you, and have a kind heart...the hair does not matter.

    As far as pick up lines, I usually feel someone is being a smart butt and just ignore them.

    1. Shaved
    2. Great convo starters all depend on where you're meeting, ex:at church wouldn't be the best place to tell her she's "hotter then hell"....if you're at the grocery just ask her what aisle the "hungryman tv meals are in" (then she'll know you're single)...and if you're at a bar, just a send her a drink across the bar then (if she returns your beer with a smile and a thank you) make you're way over there and tell her that you think "shes adorable and you couldn't help but notice" her.

    2. Hi, then say something funny and sweet. Something to do with what she is wearing or how she has her hair, when initiating a convo stay a way from preventive sentences till after you make her laugh.

    Good luck :flowerforyou:

    1. Whatever suits you best and makes you feel confident.

    2. Hate cheesy chat up lines or innuendo. Much prefer just to be spoken to with interest and sincerity. Like 'How you doing? Have you had a good day/week? what's your job? What kind of music you in to? Hobbies, Interests...... Etc Etc Etc Just a genuine conversation with humour and personality.

    Good luck :flowerforyou:

    Love this!! So true! Once I was out wearing my Blackhawks shirt and this guy came up to me and was like "Blackhawks! Sweet!" and we started talking a little. Great conversation starter!!

    1. Bald, absolutely. (I love bald guys. Since I was 12.)
    2. Something neutral and non-threatening that relates to the environment. At a bar: so what's your favorite drink here? Pale ale or Guinness. At the grocery store: I have never cooked with one of these, have you? At the park: I love that tree/the weather's nice/what's your dog's name. Anywhere: compliment on something non-threatening: eyes, hair, jewelry.

    If you used the house pickup line on my, I'd probably post it on facebook as a crappy line. ;)

    I guess I never really thought too much about it, but I think I am more attracted to the shaved head thing than the "meadow" approach (love the analogies, btw...cracked me up). That being said, I think the guys I have dated that have taken good care of themselves and were confident have had that look, in general...hmmm.

    As far as the conversation....again, just having confidence. Ahem...CONFIDENCE...not cockiness. Let that be the key word here. Guys get these confused. Often. Just having the courage to go up and talk to a girl and having something of value to say is a great thing. And listen. :-) Great things happen from there!

    1. Don't care. Unless it's a comb-over, in which case you already lost so don't bother tryin

    2. Cheesy lines are like comb-overs. Obvious lies ("why is someone as skinny as you on this website) are like comb-overs. Anything sexual is like a comb-over doughnut. Chit-chat about something unique or going on nearby has a good probability of success. But that's just one girl's opinion, and I'm quite a rarity.

    1. I think bald is super sexy on some guys so I would have to go with bald.

    2. Ask me my name, buy me a drink and ask about work or hobbies.

    I think bald men are sexy. But a big turn off for me is the "Comb Over", or "Flip Over". When they are balding and trying to flip their thinning hair over a bald spot. Just be confident and shave it off.

    Shaved for sure.

    Your line would probably work on me although it is pretty stupid. You'd have to follow up with something sincere.

    Shave the head. Women can get past the superficial pretty easily.
    Drop the pick up line. Smile, say hello, introduce yourself and tell her in a tactful way why you noticed her. Example: if you noticed her boobs skip that. Just say I think you are very pretty.
    One of the best intro's I ever got - this guy at the gym told me he had seen me around and I looked like a really nice person and he wanted to get to know me better. I was married at the time but it seemed so sincere.

    1) Whatever looks good, the most flattering

    2) Hi. Really easy, then why you're approaching, what you noticed, strike up a conversation... etc.
