A Taiwanese man looking for love has developed an unorthodox “square head” hairstyle designed to attract the ladies.

54-year-old Wu Guoren, a medical scientist at National Taiwan University Hospital, received his five minutes of fame after news of his bizarre hair appeared on Taiwanese television last week.

Wu, whose hair casts a 90 degrees right angle silhouette, told local reporters that he was still single and had difficulty attracting women, despite having a decent job that afforded him a salary of 70,000 Taiwan dollars a month (HK$18,000).

After being rejected by a girl, the dramatic hairstyle was adopted in an effort to “look more like a young guy in his 20s or 30s”, Wu said.
