Bad news for baldies: Men with hair are perceived as 'more attractive, approachable and successful'
UK Daily Mail ^ | August 25, 2016 | Stephen Matthews

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.

Okay so,this thing is garbage what studies have shown again and again that men who are BALDING are perceived on average less attractive then men with a full head of hair... If however you just accept being bald Ana shave it all off studies have found women find bald men just as attractive on average.

So since these guys were compared pre and post hair transplant they affirm what was already know a balding man is not as attractive as a balding man to most women... But it says nothing about a man who shaves his head or is completely bald.

Big laugh. The reason Men are bald is because of an excess of testosterone. How much more clearly can it be advertised?

Why? Because it was your turn to shop, and tuna, three for $1 is a great deal.

I love that episode.

In America, if ya have 2 million bucks, one can be 95 years old, be 4’ foot tall, with two bald heads and speak with lisp and you’ll get all the skanks you can can handle.

Trust me.

I’m really lucky...62 with a full head of hair, with little gray, 6’ 2” tall and I have a decent retirement. If I was single, I could easily go on a cruise ship and get hooked up.

I started losing my hair in my mid-twenties and have been totally bald on the top since I was in my thirties. While in my forties (after a divorce) I met and married a woman who loves me to death and is almost always the most attractive woman in any room she walks into.

The article also mentions low sperm count in bald guys. My first marriage produced two kids in no more than a dozen sexual encounters. (It was a really bad marriage.) My fraternal twin brother who has a full head of hair is infertile, however.

No way. My GF gave up on asking me to cut it. But it’s not as long as hitting the belt line LOL. If t’s that length, then she’ll leave me. If you look up Axl Rose circa 1987, that’s my length.

I don’t know why people got upset. It was just a funny little song about funny little people with funny little feet and funny little voices that go “Tweet, tweet, tweet.”

Randy Newman was an original. He had an odd tempo on the piano, twisted lyrics, and was funny as hell when he wanted to be.

That’s great. I’m very happy to correct “was” to “is.”

I shave my head twice a week. I get more ***** than most guys half my age.

"Razor Burn" isn't an expletive.
