Even though losing their hair as they get older is the worst nightmare for each and every guy, this new study argues that it might be a blessing in disguise.

According to this new research, bald men are leading the way of attractiveness and apparently appear more confident and dominant to the opposite ***.

The study, which was conducted by The University of Pennsylvania, asked both male and female students to rate pictures of men. After giving them the pictures, they were asked to rate them based on three categories - attractiveness, confidence and dominance. And, all the bald men led the way, leaving everyone else behind.

All the participants seemed to have favoured natural bald men, and those who had their scalps digitally enhanced to be bald for the study, as stronger than those with thick or thinning hair. And, that wasn't it; apparently, baldness also made the men appear taller.

The study said: “Namely, the men were viewed as nearly an inch taller and 13 per cent stronger when pictured with shaved heads versus with hair.

“Because only their hair was altered in these photographs, other factors cannot account for these differences.”

The main takeaway was the fact that sporting a shaved scalp was associated with dominance, meaning they will do better 'economically in negotiations'. “Choosing to dispense with one's hair is arguably a form of nonverbal behaviour, a form of expression which communicates information about the self otherwise difficult to observe,” the study says, suggesting that bald men might be more elusive.

But, since everything can't be so positive, the study also found that shaving a man's head makes him look four years older on average. But, the bottom line is that when it comes to *** appeal, the baldies have it.

Larry David once said, ‘‘Anyone can be confident with a full head of hair. But a confident bald man—there's your diamond in the rough,'' and it is completely compatible with the study.
