The Bald Chick Thread

-Smoothness and cleanliness. I mean what guy doesn't like a women with smooth skin? Most women shave their legs and vaginas because men find hairiness on a woman undesirable. With the sole exception being the hair on the head, which IS desirable. I find this kinda inconsistant personally. To me a bald scalp just means more smooth skin to enjoy, and yes feeling a woman's bare scalp is something I want to do before I die.

-It's as naked as you can get. In a lot of ways hair is really just another article of clothing, just one that happens to be built into our bodies. So many women use hair to define themselves and it's like coming out of a shell. You see the REAL woman behind the hair.

-It's abrasive, comfortable and signifies sensuality. Just having the audacity to do it is admirable and attractive to me. It's the kinda woman who doesn't fret over trying to use her hair to market herself and dealing with the stress of trying to maintain it, choosing comfort instead. It also tells me that she likes how it feels to touch her scalp and feel things on it like a cool breeze or running water when taking a shower. Or something more sexual.

-It symbolizes purity from materialism and superficiality. Though as fashionable as headshaving is with men I think that today this is only true for the women where hair still plays a huge role in defining who they are.

-Despite being an act of noncomformity in it's own way it also represents equality, underneath the different hairstyles women all look the same, with the real differences being what makes them unique from each other APART from their hair.

etc.

So I hope that helps you try and understand my warped brain at least a little bit.

Boo boo, your reasons for your fetish make perfect sense to me, and I especially agree with the ones in bold above. Your fetish doesn't sound warped at all. I understand the appeal of someone who reveals herself and is not afraid to. Especially appealing to me is the idea of someone *having* something to reveal personality-wise, which can be symbolized by how she treats or presents her body.

Perhaps predictably, as much as I'm adverse to shaving off my body hair because I don't like society telling women they should, I have never had any strong feeling of attachment to my head hair, and wouldn't mind not having any (if only there were no sun). The fact that society puts so much emphasis on women having long, luxurious hair makes me want to cut it off even more. I suppose I just invest my vanity elsewhere than in hair. And I don't like repressive social norms.

USA: 23, 782
India: 11, 324
Germany: 7, 050

Country with the least visitors is Finland with only one visitor. F*CK YOU FINLAND!

I'm surprised to see Switzerland is so high. I'd feel bad for the guys there who share my fetish because I'd doubt many girls would want to part with their hair in that kind of weather.

Really, your observations are quite amusing. I dare say cold Switzerland weather is one reason people don't want to part with their hair there, if that is true. Maybe the cold is why they braid their hair and wrap it around their heads. It's like turning your own hair into a hat!

I don't think there is any reason for you to feel ashamed or perverted at all for having a fetish. Actually, I think you are lucky: you have a sure-fire way to get turned on! A lot of people may not. I hope you someday get your hands on a bald woman's head like you wish, and also that you eventually get your MB Bald Chick Fan Club.

So, here's a bald woman photo where I feel she looks very lovely and alluring. You probably have this in your photo collection already, but just in case you don't, here it is:



Oh! And here's a website about bald women that is quite nice, because it shows real (non-model) women and all their personalities and fun-loving attitudes.
http://surreal_killa.tripod.com/sanc...ryday1095.html

I wonder...perhaps bald women are happier than women with head hair? Interestingly, a study found that women who don't shave their body hair have higher self-esteem than those who do. I wonder if the reverse is true for bald women: that is, women who are willing to shave their heads have higher self-esteem.

I know that some people with similar views to yours shave their heads in protest to the use of hair products and their effect on the environment and the animal testing involved and even though they could use hemp hair care products as an alternative it's more about the principle and symbolism of rejection to the hair industry.

Anyway, headshaving would require some maintance like having to shave as regularly depending on your hair growth if you want to keep the consistantly smooth look and you should probably have an idea of how strong your roots are if you're eager to grow your hair back. Also there's the issue of your scalp being vulnerable to sunburn so skincare is important. And you might have to wear caps when it's too cold.

But on the plus side shaving your head would take you less time than it takes to wash and do all the other stuff with your hair, you'd shave a sh*tload on haircare products and you don't have to worry about bad hair days, tangles, dandriff, lice or so on. You wouldnt have to worry about your boyfriends pulling on your hair during sex and the biggest plus of all, nobody has to hold your hair back when you vomit from a night of binge drinking.

Also that newly exposed skin is very sensitive, I'd imagine it would be an ideal erogenous zone. =D

Ah yeah, that's Kumi Monster, a Korean American fetish model, sometimes she does stuff that's too freaky for my tastes but given the opportunity I'd let her do anything to me. =D

I don't really feel ashamed of my fetish, I did at first and I used to be secretive about it. But once I realised that there's guys who get off on all kinds of f*cked up things I came to the conclusion that finding women attractive for shaving off some growth on their head that serves no vital biological purpose is not that big of a deal.

Possibly, I'd imagine that if a woman can do it with no problem she must not fret too much about fearing rejection, she may either already be in a happy relationship with a non judgemental guy or woman or she wants to thin out the herd for a guy who can accept her as she is.

Some women do it because they dont care about their appearance at all but I'm attracted most to women who simply have enough confidence in themselves and consider themselves hot enough to pull it off.

And one huge plus about women with no hair on them at all is that unlike chicks who shave their legs/vag but have head hair, they're consistant.

I wouldn't be into a chick who is bald AND doesn't shave her legs for one thing, and I've seen chicks who've done that. To me it seems like they try to hard to be like a dude.

Despite my rejection of hair as an important symbol of female beauty, I still prefer women to meet certain ideals of femininity, which you may find sexist. =(

Also I've been visiting that site for years, and it's the source of a whole bunch of the pics in my folder lol.

Whatever floats your boat man but personally I don't like it. To me, the longer and curlier a chick's hair the better. Like queen of eden.

All this talk of social norms and social expectance man this gives me migraines. Whatever happend to just living? I have no care for some stupid social norms that some idiot attempts to enforce at a whim. They change every day on some level. But that doesn't mean I deject humanity and my own instincts.

If one were to shave their head purely because everyone tells them not to, how is that any different than not shaving it? You're still playing into it the control if you ask me.

Shave it, don't shave it, but I respect when people do it for their own reasons. Not just because it's the "in" thing, or even conversely the "out" thing to do. There's life beyond appearance and opinion, there's feeling and idea and reason, surely?

I like a woman who grows her hair down and out because personally I see it as a symbol of embracing life.

And a woman who embraces life is a woman who's embrace I desire.

Well I'm more attracted to it when a woman does it out of comfort or confidence in her appearance rather than simply making some kind of statement.

I think women who shave their heads are embracing life as well, as in they are willing to be adventurous and take risks, and have enough confidence to not hide themselves behind hair as a kind of security blanket. If women do it because of how it feels it tells me they love exploring new kinds of senses, feeling various things on their sensitive scalp. It tells me they are not afraid to try things just because it's "not normal".

Also I can somewhat understand the "it looks alien" criticism because people tend to reject things because of stuff they associate them with and in this case science fiction. Well I gotta confess, one of the earliest signs of my fetish I can remember is when Persis Khambatta (who was in the first Star Trek movie) gave me a boner. I find it to be an exotic look and something outside of the norm which is one of the several reasons why it attracts me.

I'm not talking like, sasquatch mega hairy here but I do actually find it a turn on when a woman doesnt shave her legs for a few days and hairy pits. bit worked up and sweaty . man thats more sweet smelling and fragrant to me than any perfume

Vegangelica, I think I found your man.

Overall I find that willingly bald girls are not as submissive or eager to please as the usual sexist stereotype of women would have it. Hey, I wonder if my conclusion that bald women are more likely to be interesting than women with hair could be considered uh, haircist? Though I can get these kinda vibes from girls who choose other "unorthodox" hairstyles like mohawks or really curly and poofy hair or black chicks who grow afros.

While the main reason I have this fetish is aesthetics and sexual attraction, it also implies certain qualities I look for in a girl and makes them more apparrent than if she had hair. Comfort with their body and image, confidence, brevity, abrasiveness, sensuality, challenging idealism and so on.

In the history of several cultures forcing a woman to shave her hair is considered the ultimate form of punishment, because for as long as we can remember hair has been defined as the ultimate symbol of femininity, it's sad that something as trivial as hair is a deciding factor of weither or not a women will be accepted by society or not, even in the more progressive present it's still an issue with a lot of people. Even when women have an illness like cancer or alopecia people (men and women) can and will say some hurtful things and express bewilderment and disgust that they don't hide their "deformation" with a wig. Women have so many choices when it comes to hair but baldness is still one people can't wrap their heads around.

In one way I can understand it because hair is considered the ultimate way people can express themselves with their body and so for most women hair is a part of who they are. You go back to a lot of romantic literature and poetry and you'll find many descriptions of how a woman's greatest physical attribute is her hair.

But call me an idealist, I think it's an outdated belief, thanks to the 60s long hair is no longer exclusive to females and because there's so many guys (including myself) who sport the look, it's not really something I associate with femininity anymore, and so it's only fair not to associate baldness with masculinity. Besides, baldness is just another hair style and one which women shouldn't be made to feel like it's not an option. So kudos to all the actresses and models who sport or have sported the look and insuring that it grows as a fashion trend.

While my fetish may imply that I like butch girls, that's not the case. Feminity is a deciding factor in how attractive I find a woman, I just think my idea of femininity is a more broad and not as specific and conservative as how society has always prefered to define it. I don't define an attractive woman by her hair because hair is just clothing to me. And so I don't think a women is necessarily rejecting her femininity by shaving her head, rather she may be challenging the popular idea of what femininity is.

I hold a similiar opinion with women who get tattoos, they can still be very feminine. Overall femininity much like sexiness is something that is projected through a combination of appearance and behavior rather than just appearance.

So I still prefer women who look, dress and behave like women (great body, feminine face, nice dresses, good hygene) and I mean that just from a sexual/aesthetic preference standpoint because honestly they have the right to be whatever they want.

Anyway, after a while I may post some pictures from my folder, I've been and still kinda am reluctant because I take the things I find aesthetically pleasing very seriously and may not react too well to brash criticism.

I also dislike impractical or harmful norms that people follow just to fit in or avoid censure or because they don't think about them. I like to think about everything I do and question whether I think a norm is reasonable or not.

The fact that women *are* criticized for having short or no hair is what would make me consider shaving my head, or at least having my hair very short again (which would still give shaved-head benefits, such as needing little shampoo, etc., but would not involve the risk of skin nicks). The reason: shaving my head might make it easier for women who have short or no hair to be accepted.

However, in my case I have my hair long for mostly practical reasons, so I don't think I'll ever shave it (sorry, boo boo!): during the summer I do field work and long hair acts as a terrific natural sun shade. Thanks to my hair, I will never be a red neck (and believe me, there are plenty in Iowa).

Also, I must admit, I *do* think it is fun to see what one's hair does when it is long. Mine is actually the longest I ever have had it in my life right now...almost halfway down my back...and I confess I like seeing how the ends get curly and boingy. Hair is kinda fun to play with!

I'm wellll past the stage where leg and arm hair are stubbly because they haven't been shaved for a few days, boo boo! I'm definitely in the sasquatch realm.

Although I do sweat. And he claims he likes sweaty women. Today while working in the field in the 107 degree F heat index heat, I could feel the sweat dripping down my front and back. After returning from the field my whole shirt was drenched. Maybe Cressidagater would like that, but I am skeptical. By the time I got home to shower, I looked like a sopping drowned rat and the only smell I could smell was a sweaty sunscreen smell. Aphrodisiac? I think not.

The girl at the coffee shop I frequent shaved her head completely bald. Very alternative looking fashion she has, but a beautiful girl nonetheless. Maybe I can snap a photo and put it on here sometime haha.

Heh. It's true hair is fun to play with.

And I realise the issues that come with headshaving. But a lot of guys cope with them and choose the look, so I don't know why women shouldn't do the same other than the social conditioning that tells them it's a look not meant for women.

However this is not a case of me opposing social conditionining for the sake of it and in fact I'm somewhat of a traditionalist in several ways. I share the views of many men that women are more sexually desirable with smooth hairless skin, I just like to defend my fetish as being more consistant with that belief because I do find that men who oppose not removing all of the hair on the body (pits, legs, vag) but oppose removal of hair on the head are being irrational, or at least it's irrational to me. It's not consistant to me.

So I can agree with you that a woman who chooses not to shave any hair on her body OR head is a little more consistant, it's just not attractive to me at all and I think women who want to make themselves attractive is just fine. I still love women with long beautiful hair and a smooth hairless body even if it's less consistant, I just equate smoothness with being feminine and hairiness with being masculine.

I don't have any real issue with hair on the vaginal area, fur pie is cool with me though very noticable happy trails not so cool and trimming is prefered. Airmpits? Prefer them hairless but if theres a little hair there I wouldn't call it a deal breaker. And european chicks are hawt as f*ck and it doesn't bother me if they don't do it.

Legs though are one of the most aesthetically pleasing parts of a woman's body and any hair at all just obscures that for me. Though I probably could make exception if she doesn't shave in a few days and she just has a little non stubby hair that's blonde and transparent and you can't really feel it, then it wouldn't be that bad I guess. Same applies for arms too, though noticably hairy arms on a girl is even more ugly than hairy legs for me.

And a little (just a little) hair on the butt isn't bad at all. This one guy I know compared it to the fuzz you get on the finest peaches.

But any facial hair besides the eyebrows and lashes, no matter what, is just repulsive. As talented of an artist (and pretty) as Frido Kahlo was, moustaches and unibrows are never hawt on a gal. <_<

And women who shave their heads but NOT anything else on their body is a huge turn off and I probably find it even more unattractive than women with hair all over head included, just because it's so inconsistant and because it seems like they are only trying to reject as many gender roles as possible and women who want to be dudes is not a thing for me.

If she knew that you were snapping pictures of her and showing them to a fetishist she'd might get pretty pissed.
