Bald White Men Seen as Less Attractive, but No Difference for Black Men
A psychological study has found that the amount of hair did not matter for evaluations of Black men's attractiveness and personality, but did for white men.

Obviously, this should be water since "hair is life" as the old adage goes. However, what is interesting to note is comparing the perceptions which people had when this came to race.
Bald white men were rated as being less attractive than their counterparts with hair while also scoring lower on other measures of desirability in a psychological study.
Intriguingly, the same study also found that bald Black men were deemed to be no less attractive than those with hair.
In the first experiment, which involved 70 mostly white students—37 men and 33 women—from a private university in the northeastern United States, researchers showed participants one of two possible descriptions of a man (Black or white) with one of two photographs (with hair or bald.) The same white and Black man was used in the bald and non-bald photos.
Seems that the norwoodpill impacts us the most, yet doesn't seem to matter for Blacks much.White men who had hair were rated higher than white men without hair on perceived personality traits and attractiveness, while the amount of hair did not make any difference for Black men.
Of course, hair is life & thus if you don't have it you are perceived as less "enthusiastic" jfl.For example, the results showed that white men with hair were seen as more attractive and enthusiastic than white men without, while the amount of hair didn't matter for ratings of Black men's attractiveness and enthusiasm.
Hair matters a lot, but especially for us Whites, which makes sense when you think about it.In the second experiment, researchers sought to determine whether the amount of hair and race influenced women's evaluations of men's attractiveness, perceived personality and perceived career success.
This experiment involved 50 mostly white women between the ages of 19 and 21 from a private university in the northeastern U.S. The researchers used the same procedure from the previous experiment and they observed similar results.
The results of the study with regards to white men are consistent with prior research showing that those with hair are perceived more positively, the authors said.
The fact that the amount of hair did not matter for evaluations of Black men's attractiveness and personality could be explained by the fact that other factors carry more weight than hair in these judgments of Black men.
It's common for most White males to bald, experience hair-loss, etc, hence why all White celebrities tend to have very thick hair, as opposed to a lot of Black celebrities who can get away with being bald.
And of course, some bluepilled bullshit as usual:
": Oh yeah! One thing that we've established dictates peoples perception of you & can influence your treatment in the workplace but other qualities matter!1!1!""Being bald affects people's view of everything from their career success to their attractiveness and personality. But just because baldness can attract this unconscious view of men doesn't mean their other qualities don't matter—and if they are wonderful in other ways, that is very important."
Thanks for sharing this @Regenerator
