So? Why is the aesthetics important to you? If it's functional and useful but looks ugly, then I consider it a mature and developed response to choose that nonetheless.
Your, and others, preference for appearance doesn't need to be weighed into your decision, unless you wish it too.
Because I enjoy looking good, where looking good is defined by my own aesthetics. You are not the arbiter on what I get to spend my limited amount of "focus" credits on in life, and I find your insinuation that my caring about my appearance and style is "immature" a little offensive.
I think you've misunderstood. I don't care about what you look like. The point is _you_ have a choice what weight you give it, you can choose to care less or more about it (at some level).
The reason to answer the "so?" question is to understand it for yourself, your answer doesn't matter to me in the slightest.

I don't think it's immature to care about one's appearance; I do think it takes a particular development of character - that usually comes from maturity - to feel a desire to conform one's appearance to a particular pattern but look beyond that, and learn to accept it.
Along with that I'd note that appearance is often all-consuming for teenagers, and less important for most people as they age (things like functionality and longevity, say, become higher priorities than the simple look of a thing).
All that said, I'm not sure why you're so hostile to my opinion: as you say your life is not mine. If you're content in that then that's showing just the same sort of developed, mature, thinking.
[TL;DR] So, I merely suggest you answer for yourself why "I enjoy looking good" and _consciously_ decide on the weighting that has in sartorial and other aesthetic decisions.

Which, I have. It's the fact that your original comment has unneeded swipes at complete strangers maturity for expression their opinions and worries regarding what they find attractive in themselves that I have issues with. If you can't see why one could read your messages in that matter, then I'm not sure how else to explain it I'm afraid.
[TL;DR] Being bald looks gross on me. I don't like that, because I like looking nice. This isn't a sign of immaturity, as much as you keep repeating it as it that'll make it true.
If you think I've claimed someone is immature then your reading comprehension or logical model is lacking (now you have something I actually said that you can feel offended about).
If my cup of tea isn't hot then you presumably assume it has ice in it.

Then why don't you shave? Actually, why do you take care of your appearance at all?
I'm pretty sure that you do a minimum of works on your appearance. The same reasons you do apply to people balding.
I'm actually not interested in your response, I'm interested in how you justify your previous comment while still not being able to apply it yourself.
Your appearance is important, even if you don't want it to be true. You answering these questions may make you realize how appearance is important. Anyone else answering for you won't change how you think.
