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.

But if you’re really asking this question here then you probably don’t want to go ahead and you just want someone to tell you that you’re right! But what people say shouldn’t matter because you already know your answer!

First you must look is his character. An army man will be physically fit. But you must be prepared to be in the north border areas. But you will have nice friends. You will have yearly holidays also.
But beware he is free of smoking and alcohol. Social drinking is ok.
Baldness comes based on heredity.
In USA it has become fashion to be bald. Take your own judgemental decision.

The overall work culture is positive, with strong support from the U.S. management team and a healthy work-life balance. However, my experience with the Pune HR team was disappointing. Communication often felt unprofessional, and there were frequent discussions around layoffs that created unnecessary anxiety among employees. Additionally, confidentiality and employee privacy could be handled more carefully. While there are areas for improvement in HR practices, the supportive leadership and balanced work environment are definite strengths of the organization.

Pros:

Supportive U.S. management

Good work-life balance

Positive team environment

Cons:

Unprofessional HR interactions
Concerns regarding employee confidentiality and privacy
Frequent layoff-related discussions affecting morale

Hi I don't know how this sounds like but if you find everything is apt go for it... Only if you are ready to accept the fact that he's gonna loose more hair..if not than this will keep bothering you and it would be hard to have a smooth lovie dovie relationship. Please be careful.
In my personal opinion this thing doesn't matter irrespective of receding hairline or whatsoever if mental, spiritual, and physical attraction is felt go for it.

Lol I love uniforms and am looking for a groom for myself by any chance if you happen to know any of his friend whom you might want to recommend. ;)
Ciao Ciao!

If someone is very beautiful and handsome But doesn't have that social status, security as well as that level of wealth ... will it work ? Then you must leave his profile and and go ahead. If not, Bald can be treated with Hair Transplantation. Nowadays its very common.

What matters more is what lies inside the head, than what lies on it. Looks are just temporary. You may as well marry someone who has a crop full of hair now, but may end up losing it later.

May be that guy must be asked to reconsider your proposal, just because of your judgmental thoughts. Better if he looks for someone else who is more accepting, than you.

It is completely natural to hesitate when a detail like hair loss stands out. However, when making a lifelong commitment, it helps to weigh physical traits against character and long-term compatibility.
Here is a structured, objective evaluation to help you give your father a definitive decision.
1. Contextualizing the Hair Loss
In the Indian Army—especially in a combat arm like the **Infantry**—hair thinning is incredibly common due to their rugged lifestyle:
* **The Combat Lifestyle:** Officers wear heavy combat helmets, berets, and caps for hours in extreme weather conditions. This constant sweat and friction often accelerate front-end hair loss.
* **The Grooming Standard:** Officers must maintain an ultra-short, military crop. This close cut naturally makes any thinning at the front much more visible.
* **The Future Reality:** Most men experience some degree of male pattern baldness as they age. A full head of hair today is never a lifetime guarantee.
2. The Weight of His Profile
You mentioned he is fit, humble, mature, and has a great personality. Professionally and culturally, his background is exceptional:
* **The RIMC Foundation:** Rashtriya Indian Military College is an elite, highly selective boarding school. Boys are groomed there from childhood to possess impeccable manners, discipline, and chivalry.
* **An Infantry Major:** Reaching this rank in a combat unit requires immense mental strength, leadership, and a deep sense of responsibility.
* **The Family’s Eagerness:** The fact that they are chasing the alliance shows they genuinely respect your family and see high compatibility in you, free of standard matrimonial games.
3. The Perfect Solution
To give your father a confident "Yes" or "No," follow this simple decision rule:
Step 1: Separate the Hairline from the Man
Ask yourself: *Is it just the concept of baldness that worries you, or do you find his entire face and presence unattractive?* If his fitness, posture, and sharp grooming make him look commanding and handsome despite the thinning hair, your mind is simply hyper-focusing on a minor flaw.
Step 2: Request One Focused Interaction
Speak with him one more time via a private call or meeting. Shift your focus entirely away from his hair. Pay close attention to his **eyes, his smile, his voice, and how he treats you.**
Step 3: Make Your Final Choice
* **Say YES if:** You feel comfortable talking to him, admire his maturity, and find his personality charming. In marriage, a partner's humility, respect, and emotional stability dictate 99% of your daily happiness. Physical attraction grows beautifully when you deeply respect a man's character.
* **Say NO if:** You feel a strong, permanent lack of chemistry, to the point where you would feel embarrassed introducing him to others. If the aversion is that deep, it is better to step back politely.

go for it!
