A frequently discussed topic is whether or not physical attractiveness is important when it comes to flirting. And, specifically, what kind of physical features are more attractive .

Obviously, everyone has their own tastes and not everyone looks at the same things, but there is always something that catches our attention of that special someone: his intelligence, his tokens of affection, his beard or his nail… Yes, his bald head!

According to a recently published study, hairless men are more attractive to women, as they give a greater image of masculinity, power, strength and leadership .

So… does physics really matter when it comes to picking up girls?

Answering the question of whether the physique matters when it comes to flirting is difficult, as not everyone feels the same way about it and attraction is a subjective thing. The truth is that it is important that someone attracts us, but the attraction can be understood not only by the physical. For example, it may be need that makes a person attractive to us. If we need affection and that special someone gives it to us, we can see them with different eyes overnight.

If we take a look around, we will see that physical attraction is not necessarily what brings people together, because there are people who are extremely attractive on a physical level and their partner is not. For that individual there must be something attractive in his or her partner , otherwise I would not be with him or her (unless it is out of interest…). Maybe he makes her laugh, touches her emotional side like no one else, has an overwhelming personality or shares a hobby that is a great passion for both of them.

Opinions on the question of whether the physique is important when flirting may vary from person to person. You can check it out in this video shown below:

Bald men are more attractive

While physical appearance isn’t everything when it comes to having a relationship, science seems to say that bald people are more attractive. This may seem contradictory to what some men think about baldness.

If hair loss and alopecia are two of the major concerns of most men , this mourning process can be cushioned by results such as the research according to which, in reality, people without hair on their heads are lucky. Not only do they not have to comb their hair or spend money on wax, but they also have great “sex appeal”.

The research was conducted by the Wharton School of Business, University of Pennsylvania. According to the findings, men with shaved heads are perceived as more manly, dominant and protective.

Study data

To reach these conclusions, the director of the research, psychologist Albert Mannes, conducted a study called “Shorn Scalps and Perceptions of Male Dominance” that was divided into three phases:

In the first of the experiments, the researcher had a sample of 60 women who analysed a series of images in which different men appeared: some with hair on their heads, others with little hair and others with shaved heads. The women stated that men without hair gave a greater image of authority, influence and power.

In the second of the experiments, a series of photographs of men with hair were retouched using an image editing program. The photographs with hair were then shown, followed by the photographs without hair. The participants perceived that the hairless men were more powerful and, in addition, taller and stronger .

In the last phase, the volunteers received written descriptions indicating the physical attributes of different individuals. Those without hair were evaluated as more masculine, leading, strong and ultimately more attractive.

Women prefer hard guys

Science also seems to say that tough guys are more attractive. That concludes a study conducted by G. Carter, A. Campbell, and S. Muncer in 2013. For this research, the group of researchers counted 128 women between the ages of 18 and 36

The participants attended a presentation that featured a number of men, some with Dark Triad personality traits (narcissistic, Machiavellian and psychopathic) and others without. The women said that boys with Dark Triad traits were more attractive.

This, according to some researchers, may be because these traits are associated with greater ability to make the family prosper in hostile environments where resources are scarce.Having such a partner may not be useful in certain contexts, but in terms of the likelihood of having a minimum of subsistence, it could be a valid viable reproductive strategy if one seeks a minimum instead of a dream relationship.

Bald and Bearded Men: Total Attraction

Nowadays it is common to see many men with shavings and beards. According to the above data, men without hair are more attractive, but what about men with beards? The beard is a trend and that’s why many men let it grow. The beard boom is such that there are many hairdressing salons that offer products for beard care .

Scientific data seems to indicate that men with beards are also very attractive and flirt more than men without facial hair. At least, that’s what a study by psychologists Barnaby Dixon and Bob Brooks, conducted at South Wales University and published in Evolution & Human Behavior, says.
