in my personal opinion: baldness used to be unsexier, but that changed in the last 1-2 decades. nowadays it's another hairstyle people might adopt even if they're not bald - fashionable, especially combined with a beard. being partially bald (instead of going all in ... or all out?) feels like it's (still?) unstylish, as a tonsure (monk spot?) is not a hairstyle you'd be going for on purpose. though, as i grow older myself, as in 30+, even though i still have a head full of hair i tend to notice it less and less as there are so many people in my social circle (mostly in the 25-45 year age group) sporting partially bald heads it pretty much became the new normal. edit: one of the reasons might be that people started to get in shape more. if people are balding but in shape, the lack of hair becomes secondary. as linked below: http://extrafabulouscomics.com/comic/180/ http://extrafabulouscomics.com/comic/180/
