If you've tried dating apps, you may have noticed people wearing hats. Have you wondered what is underneath? There is actually a term for people that wear hats on dating apps in order to hide a lack of hair. It's called Hatfishing. According to SWNS: "Hatfishing is when someone wears a hat or otherwise disguises the fact that they have no hair on a dating app profile pic. A new survey revealed that 21% of respondents said they have tried to hide their lack of hair on dating apps or social media. And 16% have used a hat to do so ... therefore, the term “hatfisher.” The survey found that 10% of respondents had been “hatfished” and 40% of women said they probably wouldn't pursue a potential date if they had been hatfished by them."
How important is hair and a hairstyle to potential daters?
25 percent of dating app users say they check out the hair first. 56 percent of women polled want to date someone with a full head of hair. And, 45 percent of women believe that a comb-over is a deal breaker. (SWNS)
