How rare is a genuine NW1 in white western men?

In your experience?

It seems pretty rare to be honest. Western/northern Europeans really drew the short stick when it comes to hair genetics.

I'm mid twenties and apart from myself ( and only because I'm on heavy treatments) only one other guy in my social circle has a NW1 and he's half Brazilian. Most guys are between NW1.5 and NW3, and those are the ones that aren't 'balding' ( NW3+ according to normies' standards)

That's cheating. Every homeless guy has a thick nw0 according to hairlosstalk lore
There is something to it, these motherfuckers despite eating living rats and drinking themselves to death have these NW1 hairlines lmao.
In your experience?
In my experience it varies very much. In my college almost everyone is balding and when I say balding, I mean NW3+ (I am the only one shaved tho), but people from my high school don;t lose hair at all (with the exception of that one motherfucker NW6 at 17). I am the only one in my friends group who is balding and I seem to bald for all their sins lmao

There are some days when I see plenty of NW1 guys in public, even in older guys, and NW4+ people just look completely out of place. Then there are other days where it looks like everybody are balding badly and I just think "wtf happened?"

Damn, that should have been included on the iceberg chart. "Become homeless to achieve NW1".

The only white people with great hair are Chechens. Maybe it's the power of Islam.

Idk, bro, today when I got off the subway at a semi-crowded station at a time post-rush-hour (9:00 AM) I watched the people that were boarding the opposite train.
Idk, probably out of 50-80 men, only 3-4 were bald and all were in their 40s.
The more I observe this curse, the more I see how rare this condition is for men younger than 40.
WE SPECIAL, BOYS.
Edit:
The only place where I see the most young bald men is the gym and the reason is probably f*****g obvious.

I would estimate that 70-80% are NW1 at age 30. At age 60 it might be down to around 20-30%. No major hair loss into old age like Robert DeNiro? Maybe that's 10-15%. NW1 is a little more common than we think.

Here's a question: How rare are legit Norwood watchers outside of this forum?

Interesting. I think most people are pretty accurate Norwood spotters even if they're not familiar with the terminology. Pretty sure normies only classify "balding" as NW3+ and receding as NW2 to NW3. The average non-balding Caucasian hairline for men 25+ is a NW2 tbh

Normie Norwood definitions:

NW1 - Full head of hair
NW2 - Widow's peak
NW3 - Receding hairline
NW4 - Balding
NW5 - Almost bald
NW6 - Bald
NW7 - Very bald

He has always been NW1. They cut in a receding hairline for him in Once Upon a time in America. Maybe they did it there too.
ok maybe not norwood 3 but if you compare taxi driver and goodfellas your clearly see a little recession going on
