Balding

I once digged deeper to see if my believe that a good amount and thick hair on a man head is most attractive. When there was this post here: " Bald Men Perceived As More Attractive, Dominant, Study Says" https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2017/09/14/bald-attractive-dominant-study/
https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPillScience/comments/am0vx1/bald_men_perceived_as_more_attractive_dominant/

It 's detrimental, I found.
How much you can see in the rating of the below table. Which these studies gives it. half a point less attractive, as the maximum.
I find that a bit hard to believe. I have a feeling it makes one appearance generally speaking drop more then "just" half a point. seriously Balding, I would think at least costs 2 points (compared to thick hair). Going total bald (if you have a good shaped head), I would think at least costs 1 point (compared to thick hair).

This paper (used from above link) uses 3 studies.

Study 1, used a small sample amount. which makes it a bit less reliable.

This is what I read from the results on the 3 tests on attractiveness and hair

Study	Bald	Hair (Unspecified amount hair (think/thinning/etc.)	Thick hair	Thinning hair
1	3.61	3.73
2	5.41	5.92
3	5.82		6.16	5.61

Firstly, it shows that men with hair (if not thinning); are considered more attractive looking. So if we just use the attractiviness trait, it's better to have hair

In the first and 2nd test, the men with hair, there may be (?) a fair amount of men with more thinning type of hair. Which drages the number down for thick haired men.

I do think also that having seriously thinning hair, that it most often is smarter to just shave bald.

I do read that bald men score higher on things like masculinity or dominance; but that doesn't necesairely mean more attractive. Although they are traits (secondairy traits, imo) that help, and are considered attractive.

It's very simple to determine, find picture of girl with hair and now find same girl without hair, it's as simple as that. For girls it's same as for guys. Balding will hinder your looks no question needed.

Depends on what kind of balding and what NW you have. NW1 won't hinder you at all so long as there isn't any thinning, but once you get into NW2.5 and so on it really is over.

Take Paul Newman for example, he was something NW2 more or less, but ran coverup game to look NW1. He was still very attractive due to his strong frame, prominent chin and uniquely colored hooded eyes. https://i.pinimg.com/236x/12/8f/24/128f24072240e77f51382b8bd9e731eb--joanne-woodward-paul-newman.jpg

Thinning is an instant FAILO though. No ifs or buts about it.
