those 2 threads are strangely similar.....

Who was it that kept starting threads about why would a woman stay with a man who couldnt get her pregnant? And I remember something about a few threads asking if woman only want a man who can get benefits and not go to work. Or did I dream that one.

It's not abnormal or normal. It's purely down to genetics.

It doesn't bother me in the slightest that I'm thin/bald on top. It's just one of those things.

Your physique makes up for it though. There is clearly a difference between George Costanza and Vin Diesel.

Having spent many years as a sufferer of curly hair and the name calling that comes with the disease (Screech, birds nest head, curlylocks and sheep boy to name a few) I can honestly say I welcome complete baldness.

I guess it depends on your head shape too - whether or not it suits you. I've had short balding hair for about 10 years. One gets used to it and learns to deal with it!

His dad didn't get balled until later.

Balled. I don't ever want to be balled

Well kwerkie, I'm glad you asked. It could be a number of things, I have detailed some of the most likely reasons for your enjoyment!

• Poor (caused as a result of too much overclocking)
• Famous and not homosexual (surprisingly!)
• Writing too many wiki pages
• Getting paid far too much for modding an internet forum
• Not enough non-homo friends (Maybe we need a bro-mance dating site!)
• Overdose of ferrero rocher (nutella is bad yo!)
• Looking at grass from the wrong direction to many times
• Worrying about the inevitable third European war
• Having their internet ruined by poor people
• Having to pay for prosthetic dog testicles
• NoFap for too long
• Sexual intercourse with dinosaurs (maybe the Anchisaurus mistook their hair for tasty foliage?)

SAUCE

Oh, and lolkwerk

And you seriously think that young men nowadays masturbate more than young men from my time?
While young men today have got the internet we were masters in copping off with the underwear section of a Littlewoods catalogue.

Or Grattan catalogue

I've had grey hair since 14, i'm guessing that's genetics too?

 

[helpimcrap]

Lost mine at 21 - too much rubbing on the headboard.

I also got a motorbike and scared myself ******* so many times! lol

its the water! Don't drink the water.

Apparently baldness is caused by high levels of testosterone.

But maybe that's a lie made up by bald men!

I think about 50% of men suffer hair loss before they're middle-aged, it's just advertising/TV/film tends to make it look like everyone has a full head of hair, the same way women are 'shopped into having unrealistic proportions and chase an unobtainable look etc. You can inherit baldness from any side of your family, it can skip generations and if it's fairly aggressive there is literally nothing you can do about it, although simply removing it and rocking a crewcut/skinhead is way more socially acceptable than it used to be. People with slow/mild hair loss have several options for slowing/stopping/regrowing thinning hair, at a cost.

Loads of people start losing their hair in their teens, their twenties etc. It's unfortunate, aesthetically, but it's natural.

EDIT - also as you go from young man to just 'man' your hairline usually recedes a little, especially around the temples and forehead, which is also natural. Doesn't necessarily mean you'll go bald, it's just what's called a mature hairline.

I thought it was passed down from the mothers side only?

I heard that too

Nope, myth. There's a lot of rubbish out there about hairloss. Easy to google for confirmation.

Random fact - sports stars can't use the more effective drugs for preventing hair loss because they can mask performance enhancing drug use, hence why you see so many bald/balding footballers and they have to rely on traditional short-term hair transplants which will need to be done every couple of years e.g. Rooney.

["andy"]

surely its just because we are far far more 'alert' of it thesedays. we are bombarded daily with pictures of un average blokes with perfect hair and well perfect everything else

then when you see average joe and hes looking a bit thin on top you think its not normal when in reality its normal and was always normal

Fashion, baldness is cool and all hip kids are pumping their veins with GM bovine spinal tap configured to send you bald, baby!
