Men with Shaved Heads Appear More Dominant, Study Finds

[baldozer]

Is that the reason why bald politicians are never voted for?

There are and have been plenty of bald presidents, Vladin Putin of Russia and Francois Hollande of France for example.

[OhYeah]

Highlander, you really need to get a life and some help.

Ari Gold is a bit bald, yeah? The best thing is that balding can be latent, I've made it to 24 with only very early symptoms. HOLLA

He's pretty bald, he had an HT before, and some say that he wears a hair piece now!

I had something typed up about forehead size and dominance in nonhuman primates, but someone already Putin'd the thread:

Hair and who we are

Sorry to raising the thread from the grave again..

"Our hair says a lot about who we are. That’s why losing it can be so traumatic. But for balding men, a new study may offer some hope. It turns out that a completely shorn head is viewed as masculine and powerful. Just think of all the macho action movie heroes played by Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, and Vin Diesel; or powerful CEOS like Dreamwork’s Jeffrey Katzenberg and Amazon’s Jeffrey Bezos; and there are plenty of bald sports stars — Andre Agassi and Michael Jordon."

Yeah, right...too bad Agassi for example tried to hide it as long as he could.

It saddens me soo much.
Bald, or shaved, is masculine?
Mannes is so in denial.

Almost nobody shaves if he/she has hair.

Everybody would prefer to have hair, but admitting it takes pride. If you don't admit it, you are just fighting against the search for a cure.

Jeremy Piven is definitely bald and wears a piece. He had a transplant a long time ago, but I guess the results weren't too good. He has a huge scar on the back of his head as a result of it.

Here he is on an episode of Seinfeld from the 90's.

Unless you have the facial aesthetics and/or size it looks like shit.

Oh wow dont care Id take my hair still anyday let those clowns look like better leaders.
Maybe these guys doing theses studies should turn on the TV and watch the bachelor show because none of the bachelors are bald but somehow every girl wants them? Something seems off there to me. I know the money is actually more important but the bachelor guys really are what our society wants

I hate this thread. I would love to grow a short, well-groomed beard and rock a nice round, thick bald skull and never even think about hair again. Instead I have a ****in' conehead (flat occiput) and will look like a straight mutant with a bald head. Nothing you can even do about skull shape in an adult either.

I need hair or to get super-sized jacked to offset my ridiculous deformity.

[25 going on 65]

Looking dominant/masculine is not near as important as looking good. If you look good you are golden, does not matter whether you are "pretty" or "rugged" or somewhere in between
Jude Law had even teenage girls wanting to jump on him when he was early 30s. He was not "dominant" or rugged or manly. He was just very goodlooking. Now the most attention he catches is from Rogaine advertising execs

So yes shave your head and quit fin if you want people to feel "dominated" by you. If you want people to gravitate to you (ie women) then unless you have a great face/headshape for shaving, do not do it

No one should ever watch the bachelor, or any reality tv for that matter.

Great. Now I miss Highlander. That energy. That charisma. That delusion. Pure and absolute entertainment.

R.I.P. Highlander.
