> Since the cause is usually genetics, we aren't hardwired by society and culture to see baldness as a unattractive trait. It's common enough that if we thought of it as ugly, this very conversation would not even be possible. People with 'ugly faces' have that by genetics, and everyone judges them? There are definitely some people who are less attractive when bald. It suits some people more than others. Especially people who had lovely flowing locks are going to suffer. For the average person with average hair though, I don't think it makes a huge difference. I think we can all agree though, that lack of confidence (from hair loss) is far more damaging than the actual lack of hair. |

In what context? If we're talking about dating, I would disagree. First impressions are mostly visual, a bald head is far more likely to be rejected outright before "confidence" even has a chance to show itself. On the other hand, if you happen to be attractive despite a bald head, a lack of confidence may disqualify you down the line, but not outright.
