The research has posted two profiles on a variety of popular Internet forums. The snaps used were of the same man - except one was doctored to show him thinning on top and the other with a full head of hair.

In both the images the man was dressed identically. And said he was looking for love as a successful, professional, 30-year-old male, based in London with interests in sport, music and travel.
