Are bald men more virile?
No. This myth may well have been instigated by bald men. It is a fact that bald men almost always have hairier bodies, particularly on the chest and back. The reverse is true of men with full heads of hair. Hairy chests and backs might have been associated with virility because gorillas and apes have hairy bodies and it is thought of as being more male, just as a lack of body hair on women is thought of as being more feminine. Men with very little scalp hair have follicles that are more sensitive to androgens (male hormones), which makes it thin. Body hair is quite the opposite; androgens stimulate it to grow.
