Ladies, if you can’t stand the thought of running your hands over your partner’s balding head then you should consider moving to China, where the least number of men go bald.
Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, and South Korea also have low levels of male pattern baldness.

The results were perhaps surprising – participants perceived the bald versions to be more dominant, masculine and confident with greater leadership.
The bald men were also thought to be taller and stronger than those with hair.
In fact, being bald added an extra inch to the men’s perceived height.
Mannes has highlighted that much research has suggested that these traits, in particular dominance, indicate how successful a person is likely to be.
The NHS says: “Male-pattern baldness is the most common type of hair loss, affecting around half of all men by 50 years of age. It usually starts around the late twenties or early thirties and most men have some degree of hair loss by their late thirties.”
