You're aware of what outliers are, but not about how they're not representative of the norm?
Not to mention that those two guys are only considered sexy because they have strong charisma to begin with and have a solid body of work behind them. They are sexy in spite of being bald, not because of it.

Any celebrity is an outlier. Looking at one subset of that -- bald celebrities -- is not somehow invalidating.
These bald celebrities are examples of how to look good bald. i.e. close-crop or shave it. Cultivate other aspects of your physical appearance. Be confident and embrace who you are, rather than lamenting that which you aren't.

Nobody said sexiness is derived from baldness, though it can certainly be a contributing factor, depending on subjective opinion. These men are examples of sexy bald men, period. You can either learn and follow the example, or be snotty and negative about it. I don't really care that you apparently choose the latter.

That you recognise celebrities - subset or otherwise - as an outlier means that you shouldn't be using them to describe normal behaviour, full stop.

I'm choosing not to define the world by visible outliers, and instead try and look at how the world is. I may be wrong in my conclusions, but at least I'm not starting from a known faulty premise.
Anyway, what I said stands - shaved bald is sexy, not pattern baldness. The celebrities you pointed out are men who shave their heads or crop them very close. They don't keep their hair at more normal lengths or shoulder length plus.

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about now. Normal behavior? Whose normal behavior? I don't believe I've indicated anything like that.
They don't keep their hair at more normal lengths or shoulder length plus.
This bizarre statement caused me to go back and review the thread again. I now see where the misunderstanding is. Your initial statement, to which I responded was:
'bald is sexy' only applies to shaved bald, not pattern baldness.
Shaved bald means something very, very different from cropped short, or 'buzzed', both in appearance and effort. I assumed you understood this distinction.
The celebrities you pointed out are men who shave their heads or crop them very close. They don't keep their hair at more normal lengths or shoulder length plus.
We're both advocating the same thing. Nobody who is balding looks good with 'normal' or shoulder length hair.
