I find some balding men sexy, e.g., Chris Meloni

Same here. And he's a perfect example. Also, Patrick Stewart.

The women preferred the smell of the t-shirts worn by men who had the same HLA (immune system) genes that their fathers had

Interesting. There are some guys whose smells creep me out sufficiently that I don't like to sit where they've sat. It's not that it's a bad smell. It's just a smell I don't want around/on me. I have no idea if I just like the smells of guys I like and am a bit of a drama queen when I don't, or what.

My Dad didn't start thinning on top until after I'd moved out. I think Paul's grandfather had hair until the chemo, but I didn't meet him until a few months before he died. Paul still has hair.

What does occasionally creep me out is that Paul and Dad have the same coloring. (Dark brown-black hair/greenish hazel eyes, olive skin.)

Though if I look at the dating data (even if I don't select just the males from the sample), light-to-medium brown hair, fair pinkish skin, and blue eyes is the most common combo. (Not that the sample size is really so huge as to matter.)

In any case, I find some balding men sexy, e.g., Chris Meloni.

Oooh yum! Plus Enrico Colantoni! Hmm. Their names rhyme, therefore, we should make up a song about sexy bald men.

I think if you throw something big enough at a person, it will bounce nicely.

When's the last time you hurled a brick at someone? They tend to penetrate.

Is this code for something? Like fighting crime?

The red bird flies at midnight. The mouse sees its shadow in the moonlit field. Fnord.

That was quick. Well done, shrift!

I assume you're congratulating me on the cessation of the crippling pain. I think I should add that I still feel like toasted death, but now believe I won't yark in my lap on the way home, so progress has been made!

That aside, I'll bite. What do you mean, you're giving your computer a cocktail?

Actually, it is kind of like a drug cocktail. For my work Mac. It was, in professional jargon, 'acting squirrelly', so I gave my comp a Cocktail.

5'5", on a good day

In what crazy world is that short?

Signed, 5'2" after a late growth spurt.

I'd heard that balding men have higher testosterone, on average. I may have heard this from the excellent testosterone episode of TAL.

The gene identified in the AJHG report is called the Androgen Receptor (AR1) gene, so testosterone will be involved somehow.

In what crazy world is that short?

It is, IIRC, 1 inch over average.

Hmmm. Z is tall (6'5"), not in any danger of balding, fair-ish, intelligent, and heavy-set. My father is wee, balding, dark, intelligent, and slim. However, going back through my data set, I split my time between tall and short men. The intelligence remains the overriding factor.
