Do some women genuinely think that it is sexy for a young man to be balding?

I was reading this:

This 1 Men's Hairstyle Can Reveal A Huge Insecurity That 'Can Be Devastating For Some'

“I don’t think it’s about hair at all. It’s about ‘am I enough?’ and hair just happens to be where a lot of men park that fear.”

Her own husband went bald in his late teens. “I think it’s incredibly sexy,” McGarvie said. “As a sex therapist, I’ve never once had a client complain their partner was bald.”

my opinion: This is pre-selection; the only way a man makes it past the bald door is if the gal considers the totality of him to overcome the demerits for being bald. What is missing from this analysis is that the normie who otherwise might have had a chance but for his baldness is rejected from the start.

For the past few decades, lots of men viewed as epitomies of virility(The Rock, Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, S.J. Jackson)have rocked the shaved head. This is no deterrent to the "right" sort of man

Depends on how you define bald. If you're going full shaved head and pairing that with being fit, stylish clothing, etc then it can be a very effective look. If you're talking about the dreaded ring of shame paired with a paunchy sloppy appearance then its basically a death sentence. Like with most things in life the details matter.

I do believe, like for us men, there is a minority of us that like chubby over thin women, there might be a reason that some women might like those balding men over those hairy ones.

The Rock made up for his bald head due to his robust Samoan heritage (masculine, big, jacked, manly and tanned skin). So did Jason Statham, he has a masculine skull/face, jaw, great stubble coverage, muscular body, tanned skin, brow ridge etc. They would still both look good with head hair though.

Baldness only "enhances ugliness" if your lacking facial masculinity, are pale, lack beard growth, have an oval non-square jaw etc. Guys like that look way better with full heads of hair.

You don't want the Bowling Ball look, nor the Thumb look, or the Terminal Illness looks.

Have some stubble, get on a sunbed, and be lean. That is all.

Sure, if some men genuinely think that is sexy for a young women to be fat.

Well there is some weird mass fetish for huge fat arses and thighs in recent years.

But it's a false comparison anyway.
