it's maturing - doesn't necessarily mean he'll go the way of Agassi just yet. Of course he might though, because you can never predict with the evil that is male pattern baldness

Yeah he's losing it, but it hasn't receded that badly... yet.

haha that happened to me but mine was far more embarrassing. I responded to a thread about making your nose look good or something, the guy deleted his profile, and it looked like I started it and then responded to myself.

Jesus Christ this is gay.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, right? Don't tell me you've never looked at other guys hairline since you started losing it yourself. With celebs you kinda get the idea of male pattern baldness progression since pictures are everywhere.

Who gives a ****? I've never heard of so many man crushes on a site in my life. A lot of you guys need some vagina. Jesus Christ this is gay.

Almost as gay as someone without significant hair loss registering to a hair loss site for the sole purpose of kicking depressed people while they are down in an effort to make themselves out to be the morally upstanding one by comparison.

If that is a Seinfeld reference, I tip my hat to you.

I got into a conversation with a regular at my work about hair the other day. This guy was about ten years older than me and had grey hair. He made a point to tell me that he appreciates his hair and although it turned all grey in this early thirties he managed to hold onto it. When I asked him if he uses any medication to "hold on" he just said no as if he willed himself to keep his hair. That is when I had to make the point to him that hair loss is genetic and like anything genetic it is a combination of dominant and recessive genes and ALAS, we have not evolved to the point where we can voluntarily alter our own genetic code. I sort of put him in his place politely but still making the point that my hair loss is not the result of my "not being strong willed enough to hold on to my hair" as he implied.

It just goes to show how ignorant your average joe NW1 is to hair loss issues. Ignorance breeds hostility.

he 'willed' it - LOL, was he a religious nut as well?


I might be wrong but men who go grey at an earlier age tend not to bald until they're much older, or not at all. Don't know if there's any truth to that

I've got another one. A female coworker was snikering at me so I confronted her and asked her what she was laughing at. When she said my bald head I asked why. She said because she heard it means I beat off too much. I rolled my eyes at her and showed her my palms and retorted, "LOOK, my palms aren't hairy so I guess you're wrong." She said that was just an old wives tale and I said SO IS THE MASTERBATION THING!

Everyone you work with sounds like a total douchebag - do really ALL your colleagues make fun of your hair?

why don't you try to find a new job?

One more before I have to venture out into the unforgiving wild.... This one a**h** aquaintence I knew decided to insult me at this art show at a bar by outing me out from under my beanie and then telling me I look like an alien.

This is what I said.

That's great because when Earth gets invaded, the aliens are going to identify with us baldies and put us in charge of you hairy ones... then if your lucky they will let me do the honor of probing your a**h**.

Seinfeld reference :p. Is it like that everywhere in the USA? I don't get as much **** for being bald here in Belgium, I mean from Belgian people :-/.

I get very little stick also... some jokes maybe, but not real insults. Maybe it's different in Europe? And yeah, Nadal's diffuse thinning has been obvious for a while. I feel for the guy, I've been going thru same hell for years, god it's staggering.

Im not bald, just thinning. From what I've seen bald guys just get flak from friends and family but usually in a joking manner. I think it depends no where in the states you're located too. I've got pretty boy looks but Im in the Midwest and most girls like the country/football (American) types around here. I seem to get more attention from girls if I go somewhere like Chicago or New York City. Maybe baldness is the same way.

Yeah thats the only flak i get is from friends and family in a joking way though like you said cause they are always taking the piss out each other its the way i like it...most people have a friend or friends or family member or family members where they always take the piss (and you do back)...wouldnt have it any other way rather have that then be scared to say something just in case of upset but i suppose you got to be quite close to have that kind of bond.
