However, it is globally known that better looking people are treated better by others. So to a certian extent, the balder and less good looking we become, the worse we are treated or noticed.It doesnt matter if its in the UK or the US in that sense. So I reckon that fully bald or badly balding guys in the UK who dont have an overall good look will probably suffer and be treated slightly worse then normal - but this is just life I am afraid.

Hair makes a difference, yes. But a lot of their attraction comes from their actual facial features which remain unchanged. Being bald imo emphasies your facial features. If you are ugly to begin with, those features will come out more and vice versa.
I never said it was equivalent to a full head of hair, but it is obviously better than being totally bald (by your own admission as well q). Forget Beckham, look at the difference between Zindane and Agasi. Although Zindane doesn't functionally have a full head of hair he looks much better than Agasi because he at least has something up there to keep his forehead in check and yes, frame his face. That is the only problem with baldness IMO, is how it distorts the proportions of your face when your forehead extends to the back of your head. Even the real handsome ones who are bald could always look better if they had that hairline again. Very few people actually look better that way so it is obviously the rule....to which you try to paint the exception as a commonplace reality when it isn't. Loosing that frame does detract from most peoples attractiveness level, weather you refuse to believe it or not.qball01 said:He has the equivalent of a full head of hair because there is STUBBLE!

uncomfortable man said:Well by the same token, everything is relative. HP has said before that if he had my amount of hair loss then he would be happier. Functionally, I don't see much difference between myself and him, just like you don't see much difference between Agasi and Zindane. But I WOULD feel much better about how I looked even if I had as faint a reference to a hairline as Zindane has, because it is more than I have now. I guess it all depends on where you're coming from and what you're used to. Maybe I overestimate the effect it would have on my life, but don't underestimate how even a little improvement can make one feel better about themselves and that can have a HUGE ripple effect.
uncomfortable man said:A positive attitude won't guarantee success, neither does good looks alone SO, you might not get as far as the stud even if you adopt a positive attitude, but you will certainly get farther than you would have if you harbor negative beliefs...or something like that. How does that tickle you?
DoctorHouse said:Since when is Rassman bald. He has a receding hairline but I would not say he is bald. He has never had a transplant himself.
DoctorHouse said:Can you show me the link where he mentions he had one because I don't remember him mentioning he did.
