outlier means that you shouldn't be using them to describe normal behaviour, full stop.

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.
