The Surprising Study
According to a study by Superdrug Online Doctor, which involved 1,700 men and women from the US and the UK (with about 70 percent being millennials), there’s a good chance your balding head is driving women wild. Seriously, 54 percent of American women and 41 percent of women in the UK think balding is sexy. Yes, you read that right. Sexy.
Dating Isn’t All About Hair
Despite many men feeling self-conscious about their receding hairlines, around 71 percent of women surveyed revealed that a guy’s hair loss doesn’t impact their dating life. So, your thinning hair is no deal breaker! In fact, a whopping 97 percent of women stated that minor hair loss is no biggie, and an impressive 76 percent mentioned they’d date a guy with severe hair loss.
Overall, only about a third of people surveyed felt that a man’s balding had a negative effect on their relationship. Rest easy, gents!
The Inevitable Hair Loss
Consider these stats: by age 35, two-thirds of men will have lost some hair. By age 50, it’s a staggering 85 percent. So if you find yourself in this hair-loss club, welcome – you’re in good company! This isn’t some exclusive club; it’s more like the majority of men.
Looks Vs. Personality
The study didn’t stop at hair loss. Participants were asked to rank the significance of various factors in a partner, such as personality and income. Looks came in second, with personality taking the crown. So if you’re a balding guy but possess a killer personality, you’re golden!
