as a fellow bald person (went bald early twenties), I think there is confusing messaging around baldness. For example, things that disguise baldness are "for insecure men". I am also told that judging people's physical appearance is immoral or even shaming.

On the other hand I suspect it has likewise made it very difficult to get dates. If I conclude that being bald lowers my odds am I insecure? Am I diminishing women's sense of being shamed by men by claiming I myself feel rejected?

The data, however, makes things more clear. I've never tried an experiment like that. Thanks for sharing.
