Reactions to Bald Men in Online Dating
A London-based hair company conducted a small study to find out how women view bald men in online dating. The experiment was not scientific, but the results have been published online and are worth some consideration.
The company created two separate dating profiles for the same man. The two profiles were completely identical, containing the exact same interests, age, personal information, and so forth. The single discrepancy was that in one account, the profile picture revealed a slick-bald man, while in the other account he had a full head of hair Photoshopped into place. Both profiles were monitored and kept active for two months.
The results revealed that a good hair transplant could get you a lot more online dates. The profile picturing a man with hair got five times the positive response than the other, with a total of 108 prospects versus only 22. This small study shows that, at least in London, women view a man with hair as more desirable. indeed this buttresses Dr U observation of his own patients’ accounts and their experiences with online dating both before and after the hair transplant.

It is not fair, but that is the reality I faced. Says one of Dr U’s patients
