In experiments carried out by a lecturer, Albert Mannes from University of Pennsylvania, bald guys were perceived as stronger, taller and possessing more potential.

Subjects rated bald men very highly and thought of them as powerful, influential and dominating.

Surprisingly, bald men were viewed an inch taller and 13% stronger.

The study found that rather than the bald look, the shaved look was in and enhanced both dominance and attractiveness.
