It’s something that many men worry about. But if you’re losing your hair, don’t panic – it might actually work in your favour.
LONDON, April 20, 2025 — Hair loss may no longer be a source of anxiety for men. A new study suggests baldness could actually be an asset when it comes to attractiveness.
According to research commissioned by the dating site Illicit Encounters, women ranked a bald head as the second-most attractive trait in men — second only to a muscular physique. The survey, which polled over 2,000 female users, found that bald men were associated with qualities such as maturity, intelligence, honesty, and education.
The findings could help explain the widespread admiration for bald celebrities like Jason Statham, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Vin Diesel — all noted for their confident, rugged appeal.
Jessica Leoni, a spokesperson for Illicit Encounters, emphasized that standards of attractiveness are subjective. “Attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder,” she said. “Bald men are among the sexiest looking chaps out there,” she added.
The results suggest that perceptions around baldness are evolving, with many women associating the look with strength and reliability — especially when paired with a well-built frame.
So for those noticing thinning hair, the message is clear: don’t panic — embrace the look. It might just be your best feature.
