Wondering what is wrong with nature.

Yes, I know I made another thread AGAIN.

Today I walked to my doctor to get my estrogen levels checked, on the way I saw that men are balding earlier than they should. I feel like this desease is starting to affect people at younger and younger age. I don't think that 50 years ago people could see many 25-30 year olds with male pattern baldness on the street.
Oh, yeah, and I saw a 40 year old janitor with a full head of hair and great genetics on the way also, just wanted to kick him in the face and ask, how the **** he managed to **** his life up with those genetics, but that is not the story.

I am just wondering WHY the hormone, that is supposed to make men more masculine, hairy, stronger, more powerful, is actually the thing that makes our confidence just plummet. There should be an opposite reaction hair should get thicker and symbolize strength. If DHT helps hair growth at the other parts of the body, why doesn't it strengthen hair on the head? It just should be that way that the DHT makes men more manly and women should be more attracted to them, but instead women just lose all the interest.
Okay, these days there is such a thing as confidence, money and being funny. Imagine the early human tribes. If a male lost his hair at a young age, he would never get the chance to have offsprings, although with hair he looked like a respectable male. This is all just so wrong.

Hair loss is illogical, and it shouldn't be existing at all. Just so weird, I wonder how it developed.

That's because you're focusing on the balding guys. If you randomly select 100 guys from your city, aged less than 30 years old, you would only see a few with noticeable hair loss.

I'm the only balding guy among my friends, the only bald guy in my football team (30 guys aged 18-35, there used to be another bald guy too, he was 35)... I go to parties and meet new people my age, and I'm the only balding guy there.... It's not that common...

Of course that if you walk the streets of a city, seeing thousands of guys in a few minutes, and you are trying to spot the balding ones, it may seem like too many of them are balding, but that's just survivorship bias (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias)

Jup, you're right, there are actually 200 people learning the same thing as me at school, most of them guys, I have noticed about 3 with hair loss. Okay, so that means I am actually really unlucky.......

How old are you?

Yes... we are all extremely unlucky I'm 29... Improving a bit now, hair loss hit badly at 26 and ruined 2 years of my life.... My current girlfriend is 21 and she has some minor hair loss, now on treatment. She is so pretty and it breaks my heart to see her bald spots --she hides them well in public though, but that made me very sympathetic of women suffering from this ****--. Just like you, I wish this curse didn't exist.

Aren't bald spots more an autoimmune thing? If I were you I would have let her check some hormone levels like iron saturation. http://www.gourmetstylewellness.com/interact/archive/index.php/t-71466.html

Thanks for the advice. I'll let her know In any case, maybe it's not FPB and is something else, hopefully temporal.

Imagine if one day we got our hair back... I would wake up, ****ing jump around from joy and go out in the world, and I would probably be so happy and successful at everything, and I would become millionaire. Now I just lack any motivation. My motivation is zero.

Yes, now you think like this, but let's be realistic, in a couple of months you'd be used to having hair, and maybe find another flaw, etc. Become a millionaire? No...

Monkeys go bald so we know male pattern baldness is a pre-human condition. The masque monkeys of japan lost their hair as an adaptation to compensate for lack of language... no hair covering up their face allowed for them to communicate with facial expressions. Perhaps this was the origin of male pattern baldness and has persisted through time?

And don't ever say that we must have done something in this life or past to deserve male pattern baldness. Besides being blatantly untrue it creates a mentality of bias that this condition is only reserved for bad people. Does not help with our cause of awareness, understanding and support.

Sign language using only the scalp? That gave me a funny visual.

The two part answer is kind of in your post.
1)
Modern society shuns display of hair EXCEPT for on the head where it is valued highly.

Conjure up a picture of a viking in your head - thick beard, hairy chest...but NW6 bald with flowing hair on the sides. Is he any less masculine/scary than a NW2 viking?

2)
With the advancement of society, and also the modern socialist system, women have less need to directly lean on a man - this means they are now going more for the pretty face, the janitor who is wasting away his life, than a baldite who has made something of himself. If the janitor loses his job, she can always count on the baldites to support her via taxation and government handouts.

To me male pattern baldness is a genetic disease. People are looking at it like its some evolutionary trait but no to me its like cystic fibrosis, muscle degenerative disease etc. Error in genes that gets passed down to their offspring.

 

[Exodus2011]

well womanizing vs being a good father are both legitimate mating strategies. which is better? having lots of kids and letting them fend for themselves? or having a few kids and raising each one well?

it is kind of like zerg vs protoss off starcraft

the latter is a more evolved and human mating strategy though. the former would lead to fighting over resources and such. with birth control and medical science we not only are having less kids but also have less of a need for good genetics.

Dude I am 5'7" 21 years old and a diffused Norwood 3. Barely any of the men in both my parents' families are bald. Yet, yet, yet .... nature/god/fortune has shat on my head with the curse of male pattern baldness. So your situation probably doesn't seem as bad as mine. I must be a lucky one.

Tbh I used to be a relatively decent Catholic boy until male pattern baldness happened xD But male pattern baldness for a 17 year old guy has put serious question marks on my faith lol.

 

[hellouser]

But premature baldness is really wrong. No one before 40 should be worrying about it.
A young man with no hair... It's like a rhino without a horn. It's like a rooster without a crest. It is a world-wide problem which is not taken seriously enough.

Those privileged don't want you to have hair so it will remain as being as 'little' of a problem for as long as possible. Norwood 1s don't want you jeopardizing their precious satisfaction of knowing they're above you.
