I said 50-75% not 100%. How many other things in life would you lower your chances of success 50-75% if you could easily avoid it? The polls show 75% to 44% of women don't find bald men attractive. I'm going to guess those numbers are worse for bald women. Solving baldness is probably much easier than changing culture.

Everyone can have a six pack.

Not everyone can have hair.

The improvement in atteractiveness from losing weight for the “average” USA person far exceeds hair.

So if you want to look better focus on what you can control and lose body fat.

Not really true. Some people's genetics make it difficult for a 6 pack to show even at a low body fat %.

> Not everyone can have hair

I mean, this is the whole problem that is trying to be solved here.

Imagine if everyone _could_ have hair!

the value of hair would decrease if everyone had it.
