We have heard for years that "bald is beautiful," but from what I understand, that saying was coined by bald guys to make themselves better.  Now, there is some actual science behind the claim - so, feel free to hold your shiny dome up high.

According to the latest numbers, approximately 90% of men lose their hair by the age of 55.  For a great number of years leading up to that, most of them do everything they can to fix and/or cover up their baldness.  According to a new study conducted by Dr. Frank Muscarella of Florida’s Barry University, most people see bald guys as more honest, intelligent, and stronger (all true, by the way).

All of the survey participants were rated on 4 different metrics: physical attractiveness, aggressiveness, appeasement, and social maturity.   The men were rated based on a picture of them with hair, then again with their hair digitally removed.  Overwhelmingly, the balder the men were - the better they scored!

Bottom line is this:  If you have a full head of beautiful, flowing hair - there's still hope for your ugly head.
