Got mad Photoshop skills? Take it off and post a pic.

Or somebody do that. It's an interesting question! Then we can vote on whether he looks good or bad bald.

I'd swipe right on the first picture, not so much on the second.

I doubt it's just the hairstyle change that's leading to him getting more attention. His overall demeanor and vibe probably made a bigger impact.

The dude looks like your ordinary run-of-the-mill middle class guy in the first pic. Dime-a-dozen. He probably looked kinda uninteresting in the eyes of a lot of women.

The dude looks like he has a bit of swagger in the second pic. Clothes, pose, facial expression, the whole nine. It's like he thinks he's the MAN. And the lighting makes a difference too...makes him look a bit exotic.

The two pics are really an apples-to-oranges comparison. It doesn't really mean anything useful or noteworthy. I agree with the comment(s) that this whole thing seems more like subtle marketing for hair transplants and Yahoo site clicks.

Is this really news? How is it different from anyone preferring a variety of physical improvements, whether it's cosmetic dental procedures, non-invasive cosmetic procedures, makeup, and other beauty or cosmetic enhancements?

I bet the results would be similar if it was a woman who sports a short pixie haircut vs. the same woman with shoulder-length hair. Why? Because the majority of men prefer longer hair on women, just like a lot of women prefer men with hair. So what? A lot of men also prefer women look put together and aesthetically pleasing. We all have preferences.

THAT's the rub, that men get aggravated about, that many women promote the idea that they are morally superior because they only look for *real* qualities in men, whereas men only want big breasts and a DTF attitude in a woman.
*sigh*

I care about looks insomuch that I have to be physically attracted to the individual. I've also dated a number of "less attractive" men who had neither money or status. They weren't known for their "swagger," either.

I think he looks more appealing and approachable in the first photo.

He looks more attracrtive after the transplant because he feels like he looks more attractive! That's the sexy part, the look on a guy's face that says: "This is about the best I've ever looked"

Women know the feeling, bad hair day you don't want to see anyone you know, you hope the day goes by quickly, you may not assert yourself at a meeting because your inner voice is saying: who do I think I am with this flat stringy hair and sunburn, I seriously look like an onion, no I don't have anything to say..."

Next day, great hair, tan starts to replace sunburn, walk in with head held high, smiling at everyone, favorite shoes on because: hey look at me, Happy Hump day, lets have a meeting I have something to say

You look better when you feel good about yourself, and that's projected, more people of the opposite sex, (both sexes!) are drawn to you.

Me, too. Definitely prefer the first photo. I'm not a fan of photos with flash.

My assumption derived from my life experience that men with full heads of hair rarely shave their head, evidently you are just exceptional! I don't see that the guy I directed the comment to has denied my assertion.

Were you trying to emulate someone? Your father, Michael Jordan, Lenin?
