Came in to post this. Correlation does not imply causation. There are several confounding variables at work here, and frankly I'm not sure how this qualifies as news. There isn't anything in that article claiming baldness causes heart disease, it simply talks about a correlation. You're...

Great thread. You're right, there is a lot of negativity on here. Bear in mind that like many mediums, you are more likely to hear people venting than expressing contentedness. That's just the nature of human behavior. The reason I point this out is to illustrate that most bald and balding men...

It scares me that 30 years into it, you still have not come to terms. One would think that after so many years of being haunted by it, you would make some sort of change mentally (regardless of how drastic) to shake that emotion. Anxiety due to hairloss is a learned pattern, and it can be unlearned.

Looks like you are receding a bit, and I'm guessing (though it's not noticible) thinning on the sides behind the temples. At your age, I wouldn't be overly concerned with it for the simple fact that if it took you until 33 to get to this point, you've got plenty of time before you reach any...

Okay, but then by your standards of baldness, that's still more progressed than a NW2. If you want to split hairs (no pun intended), at least don't exaggerate. But really, for all intents and purposes, the dude was bald in the commercial. Are we really going to pretend like the nearly non...

Before I throw my opinion into things, I want you to ask yourself a few questions. 1. What percentage of information that comes out of a 17 year old's mouth can be taken for the gospel? 2. Do most human beings (especially women) know what they really want? 3. Do you think many of the replies...

I do what I can to emulate whatever it is that I like about them. Obviously, you can't do that with your hair, but in any other aspect you can.

I better get my eyes checked, because to me it looked like he had a completely shaved dome.

I agree with some of the previous posters when they say that it's sort of a catch 22 when someone brings up your baldness. If they downplay it, they don't understand how hard it is. If they pick on you for it, they are assholes. If they speak candidly about it, they're rude. I'm not blaming you...

Although I don't have the bald spot on top yet, about a month ago I saw the first signs of thnning on the crown, whereas up until that point I only had a very receded hairline. So I am confident that when I am your age, I will be about where you're at. I can very much relate to what you say...

After reading some of the other posts in here, I remember a funny interaction I had with my female cousin about a year and a half ago. It was at my sister's wedding rehearsal dinner, and therefore this was a time that I was reunited with a lot of extended family who I hadn't seen in a while...

I have one older sister who is 3 years older than I am (I'm 22). She has always seemed to like short hair, and when my hair was shaggy (before hair loss) she always told me how I should buzz cut it. Now that hair loss has reared its ugly head, and I buzz it down to a #2 guard, she has made a...

These are too funny, I wish there were more of them. I can definitely relate to them, and although I don't get it all of the time, I certainly recognize the *disclaimer* look that women sometimes give off. I am a sucker for bald humour, I guess it's nice to just be able to make light of and...

Such an insightful post. I can relate to how you feel quite a bit. Hair loss has definitely taken away the easiness factor that I at one point might have been accustomed to. I think you're right in your evaluation that if you made a concentrated effort to pick up girls, you would probably still...

22 years old, norwood 3. Been with girlfriend since March of last year, and although my hairloss was not to the extent that it is now (went from NW2 to 3 during our relationship), it was still noticeable, but didn't really have any impact on how she viewed me. Still today, she seems as...
