YES.  Nice power read.  So I don't look 59 any more! But maybe they think I'll be able to pick up the 100 pound box at work now! (stronger bald guy).

That's funny because I just stumbled upon the video version of the article

Want a Promotion? Shave Your Head

A recent Wharton study found that men with close-cropped or shaved heads, such as GM CEO Daniel Akerson, are perceived as more masculine and dominant and have greater leadership potential. Rachel Silverman explains on The News Hub. (Photo: Bloomberg)

I found this amusing because you still hear people speak with complete fear about job interviews and rattle out a laundry list of things you can't do where having a shaved head is feared to be a no-no.  This just goes to show you should go about life with some common sense and if you do encounter a prick that dismisses you because you have "no no" like a shaved head, a beard, Just-for-Men colored hair, gray hair, eggshell shirt instead of white shirt, ingrown toe nail or whatever then you truly are better off without them than pandering to their arbitrary whims.
