2. If any of you notice any balding signs from my pics, let me know. I don't want to be in denial, but I don't want to be a hypochondriac and get worried over something that isn't there. That's why I posted pics, I wanted the most honest opinions from everybody, especially from guys who have experienced hairloss and know what to expect.

This will be my final post for you my friend, good luck to you either way.

1. Take a good hard look at your very first picture. Your temples are clearly in a V type shape. Now, take a look at any kids hairline. No kid that I have ever seen has a V cut into their temples like you do. The fact of the matter is that a hairline "matures" when DHT makes the hair of your temples fall out. I don't think anyone would dispute this fact. You need to realize that DHT has caused the hairs at your hairline to fall out, and thus changed its shape.

The huge crux of the matter, and the basis of our arguing is this, will your hairline stay the same or will it get worse? This is the million dollar question. Reading your family hisotry, you will have to be extremely lucky to keep a NWI or NWII if everyone in your family ranges from a NWIII to Norwood VII.

Although it is possible for your hair to stay in its same shape, I personally would not hold the optimism that you "won the hair lottery," and that despite your family history, baldness just decided to skip you.

Here is a rhetorical question for you: If you see a small flame ignite in your house, do you sit back and watch to see if the flame goes out on its own, or do you wait until your house is blazing?

Fact: Most people don't even realize they have hairloss until they have lost 50% of their hair. The only way for you to be certain if you have male pattern baldness is to wait until your hair has undergone irreversable damage. Once this irreversable damage has occured, you can then safely say, ahh I have male pattern baldness.

p.s. People like Jayman and Tuag have clear signs of early male pattern baldness, yet there are tons of people on this forum that say "its all in their head."
