Review of: Hair Loss, Body Height and Attractiveness Malus for Men
June 2024
TLDR Older men with hair loss are seen as less attractive, especially by younger people.
The review examines a study on the relationship between hair loss, body height, and attractiveness in men, noting that older men are perceived as less attractive, particularly by younger raters, with hair loss being a significant factor. The study, involving 1,618 participants, suggests that more attractive men are seen as more masculine but less agreeable and family-oriented, supporting evolutionary psychology theories. However, the review points out methodological concerns, such as potentially outdated data from 2000 and a non-representative sample, and suggests improvements in clarity, language, and the inclusion of a limitations section.
