no way in hell I'd take 5'5 for some hair, 5'5 is rough. If you would have said 5'8 I think I'd do it. I'm 5'11 and for the longest time considered myself tall, I'm starting to realize it's basically the cut off point for some women. It definitely holds a lot of weIght with woman, I ALWAYS get asked how tall I am on dating apps. I sometimes respond with 5'6 as a joke and the conversation literally comes to a halt until I tell them I'm joking lol.
Would You Rather Be Short With A Full Head Of Hair Or Tall And Have Hair Loss?

Well I'd say being tall and balding would be better, because I've read dozens of articles saying height is a big factor to women.
Truth be told, I'm not sure anymore... I'm 6'2/1.88, not ugly but receding Norwood 2, yet I'm having a hard time trying to get a girlfriend.
Meanwhile a close friend of mine, he's 5'5/1.68, not ugly either but a dense nw1, he hooks up with girls ALMOST everytime we go out. He's very confident too, but maybe that comes with having great blonde hair like his.

I really think people can sense when you don't like what you see in the mirror. If you have low self esteem, I think people can read it no matter how much you try to hide it. I was told by many women when I was younger that I was "unapproachable".
You have to exude charm, be witty, complementary, and interesting to gain anyone's attention. Height can matter to some extent but if you look like a model, it will only knock off a point for you. In the same respect, if you look like a model and go bald, you may lose 1 to 2 points but you will still perform well if you have the above mentioned skills. Most importantly, you will tend to attract people very similar to yourself as you can identify with them more and feel comfortable you share the same traits. Opposites can attract too but ironically they tend to have alot of things in common.

I'm 6'2" barefoot where the national average is 5'9"and been that height since I was 15-16. I actually had a very unhealthy height obsession during my teens up to even early 20's cuz I played sports and thought I'll be 6'3"-6'4" and I became obsessed with people's heights and growing taller once I noticed I stopped growing.
It was only after I started lifting heavy that I realised how silly I was obsessing over height and took notice how much physique, posture, dress style, the way a person carries himself matter much more in terms in terms of physical appearance than just height on its own.
I started balding when I was 26 and and now at 32 I'm practically bald, altho in norwood terms I guess I have a strong NW4 hair with the rest being quite diffused.
Being a single guy and out in the dating world I would love to have just half of my hair back as it's litliterally the only major thing holding me back especially for younger women. When I go on dates it feels like the woman is liking the height/physique but in the back of her mind you can literally read her thoughts out loud "but he's bald". And it feels like it's a compromise that a lot of younger women are not willing to make, especially ones that have never dated a bald/balding men before.
With all that said, I would still rather have my height as in the long it will stay with me for the rest of my life time or maybe an inch less with time.
