I Think I've Found A Legitimate Positive About Baldness

and its the thing that makes it the worst. bald men are perceived as less aggressive and threatening, which i feel might have something to do with them being perceived as less attractive.

however that's a good thing sometimes! i was walking around at 3 am and got to thinking about the whole police controversy with black lives matter. how it all comes down to judging someone's looks. if the police had seen me with hair they wuda seen a young guy, which of course is the demographic that commits the most crime.

but now that police see me bald, i bet they profile me as far less likely to commit a crime than your average guy with hair, because i look older.

i've heard it as a hypothesis for why it evolved, because it signals your friendliness so more likely to be accepted into groups and such.

Unless you are tanned tall and jacked with great facial aesthetics. Bald Caucasians rarely look good. Everyone thinks they will look like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Bruce Willis, Vin Diesel.

When in reality those guys have great faces and perfect shaped heads and are either tanned or jacked

I have literally never heard of full baldness being seen as something that makes you look less threatening. It's literally where the term "skinhead" comes from.

I will bet you an undisclosed sum of money that bald guys walking at night get accosted by cops way more than a guy with a NW0. I say this as a guy who used to have long hair and watched every cop car slow down as they passed or asked "Where you headed?" and got asked if I sold weed on a regular basis to cutting my hair and being treated like the most upstanding citizen. No cops, no potheads, no getting carded at the liquor store...

Ahhh, f***!!! I'm drinking at the pub and I have just read this comment.
I choked a bit on my beer from laugher.

I try to avoid reading hairlosstalk related stuff in public places.

Imagine how cringeworthy baldcel looks like when tries to hide giggle and becoming red-faced after reading something from his phone.

lol damn sly bald guys. got everyone thinking full baldness = shaved head. full baldness = grown out norwood 5+. i do NOT mean shaved head. thats a haircut. thats not baldness

but yea i seriously doubt a grown out horseshoe gets accostedd by police. we look more old and tired. i think most would agree young guys are scarier. objectively most people who commit crime are young.http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/VIOCRM.PDF

not to mention thats when they are in their physical prime so they are more of a threat
