Bald men are more attractive to women, science says

Alopecia and Hair Loss could have a positive side in the world of attraction.

A frequently discussed topic is whether or not physical attractiveness is important when it comes to flirting. And, specifically, what kind of physical traits are most appealing..

Obviously, everyone has their own tastes and not everyone notices the same things, but there is always something that catches our attention of that special someone: his intelligence, his signs of affection, his beard or his bald head.... Yes, their bald head!

According to a recently published study men without hair are more attractive to women, as they give a greater image of masculinity, power, strength and leadership..

So... does physique really matter when it comes to flirting?

Answering the question of whether physique matters when it comes to flirting is difficult, because not everyone has the same opinion about it and attraction is something subjective. What is certain is that it is important that we are attracted to someone, but attraction can be understood not only by the physique. For example, it can be need that makes a person attractive to us. If we need affection and that special someone gives it to us, we can see him or her with different eyes overnight.

If we take a walk around us we will see that it is not necessarily physical attractiveness that brings people together, for there are people who are extremely attractive on a physical level and their partner is not. For that individual there must be something attractive in his or her partner, otherwise he or she would not be with him or her.Otherwise he or she would not be with him or her (unless it is out of interest...). Maybe he or she makes you laugh, touches your emotional side like no one else, has an overwhelming personality or you share a hobby that for both of you is a great passion.

And the fact is that opinions on the question of whether physique is important when it comes to flirting can vary from one person to another. You can check it out in this video below:

Bald men are more attractive

While physical appearance is not everything when it comes to having a relationship, science seems to claim that bald people are more attractive. This may seem contradictory to what some men think of baldness.

If hair loss and alopecia are two of the major concerns of most men, this grieving process can be seen as a major problem.If hair loss and alopecia are two major concerns for many men, this grieving process may be cushioned by findings such as research that people with no hair on their heads are actually lucky. Not only do they not have to comb their hair or spend money on waxing, but they also have great sex appeal.

The research was conducted by the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. According to the findings, men with shaved heads are perceived as more manly, dominant and protective.

Data from the study

To reach these conclusions, the director of the research, psychologist Albert Mannes, conducted a study called "Shorn Scalps and Perceptions of Male Dominance" that was divided into three phases:

In the first of the experiments, In the first experiment, the researcher had a sample of 60 women In the first experiment, the researcher had a sample of 60 women analyze a series of images showing different men: some with hair on their heads, others with little hair and others with shaved heads. The women stated that the hairless men gave a greater image of authority, influence and power.

In the second experiment, a series of photographs of men with hair were retouched using an image editing program. Then the photographs with hair were shown, followed by the photographs without hair. The participants perceived the men without hair to be more powerful and, in addition, taller and stronger..

In the last phase, the volunteers were given written descriptions indicating the physical attributes of different individuals. Those without hair were evaluated as more masculine, leaders, stronger and ultimately more attractive.

Women prefer tough guys

Science also seems to affirm that tough guys are more attractive. So concludes a study conducted by G. Carter, A. Campbell and S. Muncer in 2013. For this research, the group of researchers had 128 women between the ages of 18 and 36.

The participants attended a presentation featuring a series of men, some with Dark Triad personality traits (narcissistic, Machiavellian and psychopathic) and others without these traits. Women reported that boys with Dark Triad traits were more attractive.

This, according to some researchers, may be because these traits are associated with greater abilities to make the family thrive in hostile environments where resources are scarce. It may not be useful in certain contexts to have such a partner, but in terms of the likelihood of having a minimum of subsistence, it could be a viable reproductive strategy if instead of having a dream relationship, one seeks a minimum.

Bald and bearded men: total attraction.

Nowadays it is common to see many men shaved and bearded. According to the data above, hairless men are more attractive, but...what about men with beards? Beards are a trend and that's why many men are growing them. The boom of beards is such that many hairdressing salons offer products for their care..

Scientific data seem to indicate that men with beards are also very attractive and flirt more than men without facial hair. At least, this is what a study by psychologists Barnaby Dixon and Bob Brooks, carried out at South Wales University and published in Evolution & Human Behavior, affirms.
