Being bald can be a superpower for dating

Edit: I'm talking specifically mostly about dating women under 25 who are actively dating men around the same age in mainstream settings like bars, clubs, etc.

To all the young bald guys that are worried about this, hear me out.

Women notice that you're bald. And there is a constant tension inside them to not mention it because it would be rude to do so. So when you are talking to a woman, there is a thread in her brain telling her, "Don't look at his head, don't say anything about it, pretend that you don't notice." This builds a level of tension that you can use to your advantage. After you have built some rapport with a woman, romantic or just friendly, and you can make a joke about your baldness, all that tension dissipates. I've made 2/10 jokes about my baldness and it gets laughs that are proportional to a 9/10 joke, because it RELEASES ALL THE TENSION SHE IS HOLDING IN NOT TALKING ABOUT YOUR BALDNESS. By being able to make fun of your baldness, it shows that it doesn't affect you, and this demonstrates a level of confidence that is attractive.

Also, like with anything when it comes to women, if something about you doesn't bother you, it doesn't bother her. But if you care about it, she will care about it. Once you show that you are able to make fun of being bald, she will start being comfortable joking about you being bald. Again, this reinforces the idea that you are confident and secure with something society tells you to be insecure about, but it also gives you an effortless inside joke. She can joke about this thing that is sort of taboo to joke about (because you shouldn't make fun of someone for being bald) and because it's kind of wrong, it's 5-10x more fun for her. On top of that, every time you are able to joke about this thing that is supposedly wrong with you without it making you insecure, she becomes more attracted.

DO NOT just joke about being bald for the sake of doing this or whatever. For example, I was talking to a woman and she said "If you were an animal, what animal would you be?" and I said "Idk, maybe a lion" and she laughed and said "Oh because of the hair?" and I laughed and agreed with her. Not cope laughing but genuinely because it's funny that I would be a lion for the hair and I'm bald and haha. Then we just kept talking about whatever else. It shouldn't be a personality trait, it should just be something that inevitably comes up sometimes.

This is something that has been a theme in my relationships with women for years. I went bald at 19. I'm 26. It has literally never been a problem on its own because being bald genuinely doesn't bother me and I can joke about it. God speed.
