It's a part of ageing that many men dread. And now a study has confirmed what many a receding man fears - that hair loss does reduce attractiveness. Scientists found that follically challenged men were rated as more youthful, attractive, successful and approachable after a hair transplant. A group of 122 participants, about half of whom were also men, were asked by researchers at Johns Hopkins University to rate 13 pairs of images.

Thankfully this middle aged guy has a full head of hair. But I suffer from the insipid discrimination from our heightists culture. Imagine being both bald and short; putting a gun in the mouth would be a welcome escape. :0

I’m almost 59, wth a full head of hair, but no money.

Bald AND short

“No reason to live.”

This is BS. I’m totally approachable.

[Uversabound]

Wrong,wrong, wrong.

I love bald men!

LOL

ALMOST FRIDAY.....

And the George Costanza episode, She’s Bald!

Not a hair on my head, they could have give that study money to me and skipped the obvious.

I’m over 6’ but bald on top since I was 29.

I once met a girl who said she really liked guys with blue eyes, bald heads and very short-cropped hair - so I convinced her to marry me.

Long haired dude here. The clean cut look isn’t me and dont want to look like everyone else. Summer cut? Suckers. Besides, I already knew chicks love the hair ;)

Are you kidding?

20ish years ago I had a full head of hair, was a 220 pound solid boxer, dated Gorgeous gals and had 15 friends.

Now 220 is a DISTANT number, weight is higher than number of hairs i have left and my best buddy is my cat :)

I walk through Harlem with wads of cash sticking out of pants just to see what happens :)

Money solves all problems. Look at Bill Gates.

I had a pony-tail in my younger days - I think it is in my sock drawer somewhere.

"Yeah, sure, I'll share. Let me share this little tidbit with you. You guys are nuts. Attractive, virile, sexy? Women want you? For what? To check their make-up? But you human flashlights have really helped me. When I came here tonight, I thought I was bald. But looking at you 'guys, I realize two things. One, I really miss playing pool, and two, I'm not bald. Steve's not bald. You guys are bald. Really bald. Hundred watt, soft-white bald. Steve, we should feel great, cause we got hair. And I'll tell you something else. If and when I do lose my hair, I still won't be sitting here with you. Cause I've got something at home that doesn't care what I look like. That accepts me for what I am, and is always there when I need it. My couch."

I’m 60 and I’m in the same boat.

Another new study just discovered that water is wet and fire burns!

"BALD! BALD! BALD! MY EYES!"

[SoCal Pubbie]

I can’t take your word for it. I need to try it to find out for myself.

The only thing bad about being bald is remembering to wear a hat every time you go outside so you don’t get sunburned on top of your head. That is the pits.

[lesko]

Still hotter than hell with no hair, I am

[Lurker]

I must be the exception. I shave my head twice a week. I’m 56, 5’8, and 155. I get more ***** than most guys half my age.
