The Halo effect

This is the problem with hairloss:

Multiple studies have found the halo effect operating within juries. Research shows that attractive individuals receive lesser sentences and are not as likely to be found guilty than an unattractive individual. Efran (1974) found that subjects were more generous when giving out sentences to attractive individuals than to unattractive individuals, even when exactly the same crime was committed. One reason why this occurs is because people with a high level of attractiveness are seen as more likely to have a brighter future in society due to the socially desirable traits they are believed to possess.[6]

Landy and Sigall’s 1974 study demonstrated the halo effect on judgments of intelligence and competence on academic tasks. 60 male undergraduate students rated the quality of written essays, which included both well-written and poorly written samples. One third of the participants were presented with a photo of an attractive female as an author, another third were presented with a photo of an unattractive female as the author, and the last third were not shown a photo.

Results showed that participants overwhelmingly believed the more attractive subjects to have more socially desirable personality traits than either the averagely attractive or unattractive subjects. Participants also believed that the attractive individuals would lead happier lives in general, have happier marriages, be better parents, and have more career success than the unattractive or averagely attractive individuals. Also, results showed that attractive people were believed to be more likely to hold secure, prestigious jobs compared to unattractive individuals.[3]

It is NOT in your head.

The problem is, the people who say it is - just cannot relate.

Brutal.

Exactly. People here as so in denial that attractive people with full heads of hair that they start accusing us of having BDD.

What is BDD? I want to improve my appearance, I can look better. I also like taking care of my appearance and giving life my best. This isn't a ****ing disease, it's me not giving in to your bullshit.

People screaming BDD and pretending the issue doesn't exist are just like the people telling me not to go to the gym. They are haters who want to drag you down.

Like Scorpion said: Ugly people can't have BDD.

In the first study, 59 college students looked at 25 photographs of men enrolled in a business school program. Ten of the men had shaved heads while the rest wore their hair in various styles and lengths.

Volunteers rated the photos of men with shorn scalps as more dominant, meaning they looked more powerful, influential, and authoritative than those with a full head of hair.

In a second experiment, 344 adults were shown photographs of four different men. One photo was of the man's real hair and a second shot of him had been digitally altered to remove all of it.

Adults rated men with the digitally shaved heads as more dominant than his coiffed counterpart, an effect researchers say was largely due to perceiving men with shorn scalps as having more confidence and masculinity.

There's something I gotta get off my chest and it'snot the gyno from propecia.

When I started losing my hair I said **** it I'll wear a hat. Soon after I started researching in forums all about the downsides of hairloss and here I am ****ed with propecia and using experimental treatments .

You're like the media and liberals who feed us lies about the wonders of multicutluralism, interracial marriage, and all that shit. We know the truth. STOP SPREADING YOUR PROPAGANDA ALL OVER HERE.

We are here because hair loss is like the ****ing plague. We are here because WE KNOW IT SUCKS. Stop thinking yout links to NBC and Huffington Post are somehow going to change that.

Men look better with a full head of hair. ALWAYS. JUST GO AWAY IM START TO FEEL SUFFOCATED HAVING YOUR LINKS EVERYWHERE I GO!!! STOP!!!
