I have got a marriage proposal from a guy who is a Major in the Indian Army and he is from RIMC (prestigious boarding school). He seems to be humble and mature. Their family is calling and chasing my father. But the catch is that the guy is slightly bald from the front but overall has a good personality. He is in the infantry so naturally he is very fit. My father is asking for a firm decision from my end so that he can proceed but I am unable to decide. This bald thing is bothering me. Advise.

Hi dear.My msg may be bit long but try to read.
I do understand being married ,choosing partners, where you are coming from. I understand what is going on in your mind. Society and people saying character good, army background comes with discipline, everything picture perfect. Your thought may be- not fitting your look match, army means staying away from family life technically.Every person like you have right to choose life partner. But dont choose just becoz he is loosing hair. Choose and see if his life definition & family commitments are aligning with yours. Talk to him and understand & discuss the life openly you are going to spend and expectations. Baldness can be fixed just like hair transplantation like salman or you can accept him as is just like sonali bendre(cancer patient when she lost her hair due to cancer and become got full bald ). Life is about acceptance and life partner is about walking together on same page. If you are not on same page, doesn't matter he has hair or not. Think on it.

You will have a wonderful life as a army wife. Otherwise ,you will marry an IT employee with salary who lose both hair and job in few years due to Ai .

I highly recommend to re consider your choice and marry that person . I am advising as a married male.

Thank you. I will surely consider that aspect as well.

Please don't marry him. He is going to lose more hair and having a wife with your mindset (the need for social validation) is not good for him/you. Please spare him.
If you want to marry him, accept he is going to lose more hair and ensure you are ok with it. Else don't go for it :)

At this point I don’t want to judge but I have to. Reverse the situation and if a guy would have posted this kind of situation by judging a girl with her appearance and so then most of the people would have blasted their comments with racist, patriarchal mindset and so on but when a girl is clearly judging a man with physical appearance rather than looking at his character then everyone is explaining her and supporting in her decision. This is how I see society is completely inclined towards one gender and so does our mindset, law, judiciary, policy maker and everyone and yet only mens are always targeted.

I am an army full colonel ',s son and I have been an infantry army officer "s son. Yes he may loose more hair but he would be strong like me as army folks focus on fitness a lot. Army guys are not paid very well and don't get any bribe so they are a bit miser...since they are fit n strong they are flirty too. All other things are good

I can understand your confusion. You like everything about him expect his hairline. While looks fade with time character, discipline and fitness does not.
It’s natural to want some physical traits in your partner but don’t center everything around only this trait. In your case, you feel he has good character and you are confused. Hair can be transplanted at this day and age. Try to talk to the groom about this, bring it up in a way that doesn’t sound like you are putting him down.

if it’s just the hair that’s bothering you - see if it’s something that you can overlook over a period of time - so spend some time with him and see how he feels about it. But if the hair is bothering you sooo much that you can’t see him as a partner- it’s best to walk away. If you are worried about society judging you for marrying someone bald - don’t be!! You’ll be out in society rarely but you’ll be with him 24x7.

Don't worry about the baldness, yes take it as a permanent situation, but if you like the overall person, think you can be mentally compatible and can share your life in the same roof. Go ahead. Marriage needs a lot of adjustments, as someone who's married for many years now, take it from me. Once kids come in, you will be super busy. All the best!
