Male Pattern Baldness

[B Mando]

HEY! I am just barely starting to notice that I am losing my hair a little bit. I refuse to let this happen. I am still quite young and dont want to be a que ball in a couple years. What are my options? Any magic pills or something? Anything? Its not anywhere near serouis yet(I have just noticed I used to be thicker up top) but I want stop it before it really starts...Anything?

[jakethebake]

Get used to hats.

[nothumb]

Take it like a man, you preening sissy.

My hair was falling out before I could vote.

Proscar/Propecia and Rogaine. See a dermotologist.

It's not actually going away, it's merely migrating to your back and shoulders.

Uh, seriously though? Google is your friend. There's all kinds of crap out there to prevent/stop hair loss.

If I ever start going bald, I'm not fighting it. I'll shave that crap off and be another bald is beautiful type. Luckily, MPB doesn't run in my family.

If the thought of losing your hair really causes you angst, then you are truly a mega-weenie.

Hair in men is way overrated. Both Sean Connery and Patrick Stewart were voted "sexiest man" in polls long after going bald.

This is very odd.

[InchoateHand]

Haha. I love my full lush head of hair.

[mostsmooth]

shave your head
you wont notice the thinning out hardly at all

[jakethebake]

Clearly a hat is your answer. You just need to find your look. Here are some suggestions:

[tolbiny]

male patter baldness has been linked to high testosterone levels. There is one sure fire cure, castration.

Don't mind going bald any more, huh?

Thats whats so [censored] weird! I am basically hairless everywhere on my body. I have a tiny happy trail and that is it! Nothing on my chest or back. EVERYONE who is bald up top has a super hairy chest. Hopefully I am just stressed about finding a job for the summer or something...

[MaxPower]

Is your hair thinning or do you have a bald spot? There are drugs that work on thinning hair, but I don't think they really do much. They just delay the inevitable.

Just grow old gracefully.

[tdarko]

stop worrying there are plenty of girls out there that actually find a shaved/bald head sexy.

Basically. My mother's brother does have a lot of hair for his age though. My moms side of the family is Italian(they all have a lot of hair) and my dads(the bald one) is German. I got fooked. ill be sure to post some before and after pictures if I buzz my head. I used to play soccer so I have pretty damn long hair.

I don't think so. It's not 100% but I have hair just like my mom's dad. My son also has hair like his maternal grandpa. When I'm 65 and he's 32, I'll still have a full head of hair and calling that whippersnapper "cueball". /images/graemlins/grin.gif

sample size. unless the gene for baldness comes through your mitochondrial DNA then there is no explanation for baldness to be inherited from your mother more than from your father.

My father started losing his hair at the age of 18, bald by his late 20s. His brother (my uncle), same thing. Both my grandfathers were bald. My mother's brothers, both in their late 40s, full head of hair. I think I'll be fine.

[Soul Daddy]

I'm the only person on either side of my family in three generations to lose my hair. I must be the milkman's son.

[peachy]

some bald guys r sexy...i know one id do

[Dead]

If my mom's father has a lot of hair, and my dad's father had no hair, and my dad has no hair, what does that mean for me?

I had heard from someone that it goes through the mother's father. I am hoping at least. Haven't had any hair fall out yet but I guess I'll know in 5-10 years.

[bernie]

Castration has shown to stop hair loss.

how the [censored] did you not get that what i meant was hair doesn't really matter when you're rich? i wasn't saying brooke burke dates every rich man alive or whatever your nonsensical counterpoint was supposed to refute.

don't phrase your disagreement as advice when you have no clue.

and yes i do have a clue, to say that bruce willis got brooke burns b/c he is rich makes no sense, brooke burns is rich too. she has a thing for older men and bald heads, she said so in an interview so chill out.

[Kurn, son of Mogh]

Point being that many women do find bald men attractive.

Don't fight it. Go bald with grace. There is nothing more ridiculous than a guy with bad plugs or a bad rug or trying to cover his bald spot with what's left of his hair. (think Trump)

Some women aren't going to like it but some women won't like your build or your nose or something anyway. As was already pointed out hair is not an issue for a lot of women. Just be confident of your appearance and comfortable with yourself and you will be attractive to plenty of women regardless of your hair situation.

Alright, time to point out the huge fallacy in your argument. The concept being thrown around here is that male pattern baldness is passed along from your mother. This means that it is not passed on by any male. Therefore the baldness or lack of baldness from your mothers father is irrelevant as according to the concept at hand, males cannot pass along the male pattern balndess gene. The reason you are looking at your mother's brothers is because they received the same genes from your maternal grandmother as your mother. How someone accept the concept that male pattern baldness is passed on from your mothers side of the family, and then start trying to draw conclusions from your mothers father is pure lunacy. Peachy is certainly not innocent in this regard either.

This is wrong.

Male pattern baldness is a recessive gene passed along on the X chromosome. It is, however, activated by the Y chromosome. The reason you look to your mother's father to find out is because your mother has two X chromosomes, one from your grandfather and one from your grandmother. This, of course, means that when you get an X chromosome from your mother and a Y chromosome from your father, you've got a 50/50 chance of inhereting the baldness gene from your mom (i.e. the gene from your grandfather's X chromosome). If your mother's grandfather on her mother's side was also bald...you will almost certainly be bald.

/fluxrad pours out a 40oz.

That's one for me. And one for my homie Gregor Mendel.

[/ QUOTE ]

i got hostile because your tone seemed patronizing, and i dont really have to hold back because this in indeed an anonymous internet forum.

i didn't imply that she's with bruce willis only because he's rich, or that she isnt rich herself, or anything you seem to think i meant.

i could have simply said "he's bruce willis," "he's a movie star," etc. etc. but i doubt every man she dates will be old, or bald, or a movie star. on the other hand i'm pretty confident that most every man she dates will be rich.

if of all the eligible men who come into contact with burke generally need to be rich to have a realistic shot with her, and this is one of the most salient differences between men she dates and men she doesn't, then it's damn relevant to mention that bruce willis is [censored] rich.

rich men don't need hair to get with hot women, that's my point.

k im done.

[Dead]

So, fluxrad, if my mother's father has a full head of hair, and my mother's maternal grandfather had a full head of hair, then what is the chance that I will be afflicted by male pattern baldness?

If your father has the gene, then I'm guessing it's like 1/4. You'd have to read up on gene expression though, since I read something about it having an effect on baldness passed down by the father.

[MicroBob]

I don't care about the gene-stuff...nor do I care whether Bruce Willis is more attractive because he has money.


All i know is that I miss my hair.
Sigh.

I more than make up for it on my chest, arms, legs and even my back.
SEXY!!!

So your saying that the statement "The gene for male pattern baldness can only be passed on from your mother" only holds true for men, not women. ok, I'm feeling that 40oz now.

If anyone needs a transplant, I'm pretty sure this guy can help you out...
