It's true, where ever I go I always see a guy that is going bald because of male pattern baldness. He either has no hair at the top or has a bald path in the back, or a reseeding hairline but I always see bald men where ever I go, even at the store. I haven't seen any long haired men around where I live. I just hope I don't go bald when I'm growing out my hair, no male in my family is bald except grandpa but he's old. Anyway I'm glad this isn't contagious because it sure does act like it.
Updates of my hair length will be posted on November 13, which will be two months after I posted from September 13.
Over half of men experience some form of balding if they live long enough. It's just what guys do. I've always wondered how natural selection permitted such to take hold over time. It seems the a "hairless on top of the head" male would have been at lesser advantage in former times. I guess that since the average life expectancy was much less in prehistory, one would have already found a mate and propagated and gone on to the beyond before he ever got bald. Who knows?
That is indeed the reason. This same reason accounts for why there are so many illnesses that are experienced by men over 40. Natural selection simply couldn't have weeded it out, because people never lived that long, or if they did, as you say they usually had children very early.
I personally blame patriarchy. Women traditionally didn't have enough control over their own lives to be choosy about picking a husband with good hair genes.
Hey Tim, good post.
They say everything's contagious nowadays.
Not just "the common cold", which I never seem t' catch,
not even the flu, even color-blindness and schizo-affective
disoreder. Yeah, right, sure. Every ailment, every frailty
known to the human race is hereditary. I guarantee that.
I'm fifty. Not goin' bald, see?
If you know both sides of your family and
there's no M.P.B. on either side, then you're
not likely to go bald either.
You're off to a great adventure, Tim.
Yours'll be a good, thick mane. Happy growin'!
Yours in lifelong longhaired camaraderie,
