According to Metro<\/a>, a recent Tinder survey of 2,000 singles revealed that 42% of respondents think that a shaved or bald head makes a man sexier.<\/p>\nSeriously? If it\u2019s any help, that still leaves 58% who think that a bald head is unsightly.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not dwell on that. No, let\u2019s not. The distinction here is the shaved head. Someone who shaves their head projects absolute confidence into the world. By making a feature of their baldness, rather than hiding it behind wigs and comb-overs, they are showing that they are fine with how they look. Nothing is sexier than confidence.<\/p>\n
Nothing apart from conventional attractiveness. Shush, you.<\/p>\n
Fine. Hooray for body positivity. Exactly, especially when the global hair loss industry makes about \u00a33.8bn annually from preying on male insecurity. Imagine the liberation that comes from shaving your head.<\/p>\n
So what\u2019s the moral here? It is that going bald is horrible, because you\u2019re enduring a permanent change to your appearance. But if you can comfortably embrace baldness, 42% of the world\u2019s single people are on your side.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think Pitbull invented baldness, you know. Well, in that case, let\u2019s use the other term for it: baldmaxxing.<\/p>\n
Please stop maxxing everything. The Pitbull effect is fine. Exactly. And that\u2019s why, last week, 22,141 Pitbull fans broke the world record for the most people wearing bald caps simultaneously.<\/p>\n
Eh? Pitbull did a concert in London, and most of the crowd turned up in bald caps.<\/p>\n
Because he\u2019s bald? Yes! The Pitbull effect is here in full effect!<\/p>\n
Just a hunch, but I\u2019d imagine every bald man alive hates this. Really, why?<\/p>\n
Because they struggled through their own baldness, and now people are pretending to be bald for lols. Oh, I hadn\u2019t thought of that. Let\u2019s ban the cultural appropriation of baldness!<\/p>\n
Do say: \u201cThey\u2019ve broken the bald cap world record.\u201d<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t say: \u201cNothing says allyship like a novelty prosthetic.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Name: The Pitbull effect. Age: Five years old.
