> Patrick Steward is one of the very few men who looks really, really good with a bald head

Say what? Lot's of guys rock it! Off the top of my head Jason Statham, Michael Jordan, shaved-head Sam Jackson, Johnny Ive, shaved-head Bryan Cranston all pull it off pretty damn well. What would Vin Diesel even look like with hair?

You're listing mostly a bunch of very successful actors and entertainers, most of whom (except Jordan) probably wouldn't have gone very far if people thought they were ugly. If Vin Diesel looked bad, he wouldn't have gotten the parts he did.

So this is confirmation bias.

Out of the whole population of bald/balding men, these men are the exceptions.
