I think I have the worst family history of baldness ever!

My father (bald since 26-27)



Paternal grandfather (He's wearing a hat here, but he was as bald as my father or worse. You can still see the dramatic side hair loss.)



My father also has a brother. I have no photo of him, but his hair is similar to my father and paternal grandfather.

Maternal grandfather (Old photo because he died in 1951):



Father of maternal grandmother (Only guy with decent hair. NW2.5ish? It's a photo of a photo. The lighting possibly makes it look somewhat worse than it is.)


Me today (at 26):

Only according to "IBM scale". I suppose you consider me already a NW7, right?

Well I guess we should all follow IBM's advice and just ourselves harshly, by IBM's guess I am probably a Norwood 3.

It's only really EXTREME baldness when you have females in your family going bald. My mother's hairline is thinning and my grandmother (mother's mother) has somewhat of a crown baldspot.

I sometimes wish I lived in the days of black and white. Hairloss didn't stand out as much.

You are a good looking guy Norsk, shave it short....

Good luck my friend, my hair loss is the same pattern as yours.

Norsk, you have to bring some hair into your family tree. Make sure your future wife/girlfriend or whoever is gonna be the mother of your children has better family history than yours.

I'm actually serious. My ex was a bit short, but she always dated tall guys. We had a chat about it, I always thought she was intentionally looking for tall guys so that her future kids would be a bit taller. She doesn't admit to it, but I believe she consciously or subconsciously is looking for a different genetic make up than hers.

Funny you should say that as alot of my freinds like really small girls not just short but petite (about 5'1"/2" and 110/115lbs) and I just cant find them attractive I wonder if it could have anything to do with my size 5'9" / 150lbs.
Also good hair is something that I find attractive in a woman.
