Dating advice

So I have read the horror stories on here about what happened when someone had informed their significant other about their alopecia. Since 2008, I have been inflicted with AA and having really done much dating until recently. I have been wearing wigs and sometimes it gets rough and frustrating due to some of the constant pain wigs can create

Well now I find myself in a weird and unfamiliar place. I am currently dating a great guy who seems to be genuinely into me. He has questioned…

Keeping Respect: Dates, Friends, Bullies

If true connection is FREE...if happiness has no price...who can you really say never fails to make you smile without the possible COSTS? Maybe the one who makes you smile with a MUTUAL feeling is more worth the wait than the numbers of dates with no true connection. Hair or no hair, it can be too frustrating and take up too much mental stress if you are trying to convince someone who does not feel the same about you to stick around for a romance, be it at age 16 or 66. Let it grow…

Is it a fetish or mere fascination? It may pay to find out

I met the bald woman of my dreams on MySpace.com in the spring of 2007, and I can't tell you how grateful I am that she didn't summarily dismiss me as some creepy dude who simply had a bald fetish.

When I saw her photos on MySpace at the time, I thought she was as fine as they come and I let her know it. Yes, I knew she was bald due to alopecia areata because that was one of the first things her profile stated and she was bald in all her photos. However, it didn't matter one bit: She…

Dating?

Why do we have to feel like the world is going to end when we tell our date's in the begining about our disease. We have to go in looking at weeding out the bads ones, What is your opinion?

Putting off romance

So, alopecians...do you find yourself putting off going out (to where the opposite sex is), flirting, dates, expression of love, sex, engagement, marriage (hey, my order may be off for some of you...sorry...) until some assumed date that hair will miraculously all grow back? How many great ones did you let get away while doing so? How many Practice People did you waste time with or experiment revealing to, just to "get the experience" before The Real One? Most importantly, however...what do you… Continue

Gene fear in serious dating

What I am wondering is, how many uninformed non-alopecia people out there may harbor a secret doubt about this condition in regards to passing on genes...and skulk away from a Good Thing with alopecians (like the CHICKENS that they are...cluck, cluck!)?



No one else at all in my family has alopecia, and believe me, I have gone back to the 1800s in my research.



But.



After thinking about my dating years ago, I wonder now if some of the haired guys, due to their own… Continue

Gifts?

Okay, okay!! I know I haven't been here much at all over the past few months but I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. You know how it is, life just keeps handing you more and more until your hands are so full then suddenly you're 3 years old again having to keep picking up the same darn ball you keep dropping (which is incredibly funny to watch however very frustrating to experience - especially when you realize what's going on).



I moved at the end of March so it's… Continue

141 days until our wedding

141 days until....our wedding!!! I've wanted to write a post about my fiancé for several months now. To share with this community the man who loves every part of me--the man who even loves that I do not have hair.



It is truly hard to put all of my thoughts into words. When I chose to not wear a wig, the biggest fear I had was dating. You can read some of my past insecurities in "Dating...Is it the hair?"… Continue

Dating?

Ok, so no major deal - I've been single for the past year now, after an 11 year relationship. The truth is I hate being alone but I also don't get much of an opportunity to go out and meet people because I have the kids at home. It's hard enough to meet the right someone when you have alopecia let alone with a few kids at home and I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever get to meet someone special. It's not that I'm totally dependant on someone but I'm a snuggler and I really miss having someone… Continue

Trouble with other peoples acceptance

I have never really known anyone else with alopecia and i guess its really hard.
Whats even harder though is dates, most people said they would go on a date with me if one thing, i had hair.
Im not comfortable with wearing wigs and i want people to like me for me and not just my hair. How can i get people to accept me for ME?



And no...even though i have had this for 13 years i still wish i had hair...guess i cant accept it

Life After (or WITH) Alopecia? (Please respond!)

Hi everyone!

I'm handling my female pattern baldness a lot better than I used to handle it. I believe once again that I'm worthy of love and fun. But every now and so often I catch myself thinking "I better enjoy this while I can. If I am ever bald, I won't have this." This is mostly true of dates and relationships with guys. I know my girl friends are there for me and with me no matter what. They think wigs are cool, so this would only be an "exciting" condition to them. Guys, on the… Continue

A Bald Woman's Journey Back to Love

Cheryl Carvery with and without hair I was camping one day in 1991 when a friend asked, “Why do you shave the back of your head and around your ears?”



I had no idea what my friend was talking about. So I found a mirror, looked closely at my head of long, thick hair, and was shocked to discover that large bald spots were developing on the sides and in the back of my head.



Confused and afraid, I consulted a doctor who told me that I was experiencing patchy hair loss (alopecia areata) due to…

How could I possibly date a bald woman?

In one episode of the sitcom Seinfeld, George dated and claimed to have fallen in love with a bald woman named Georgina.

Jerry couldn’t believe his ears and yelled, “How could you possibly love a bald woman?”

“Since when was love about looks?” responded George.

“It’s always been about looks!” shouted Jerry.

Given that my fiancée, Cheryl Carvery, prefers to keep her head shaved bald because…
