male height to Norwood scale

[CaptainForehead]

[ my younger brother of two years is a serious athlete and has been most of his life. He eats healthy, he works out, takes great care of himself and he is as bald as I am.

How does he deal with male pattern baldness? Does he get a lot of ladies? Doe he find male pattern baldness a serious handicap?

 

[s.a.f]

Smokers are more likely to be bald.

Those who are under stress and don't sleep well are more likely to be bald.

External factors do indeed contribute. Someone who is genetically programmed to bald at 30+, might start balding at, let's say, 25.

Removing the those external factors will NOT return the hair, but may slow down future hair loss.

Eg, me... hair loss literally hit me overnight. One morning I looked at the mirror and I realised I was losing hair. I was extremely stressed at the time with an extremely irregular sleeping pattern. I'm not a health fanatic, but I'm healthier now and my hair seems to be disappearing slower than it used to.

You have zero proof of any of this. :shakehead:
Are you saying that if I'd been a smoker I'd have been bald at 22 instead of 27? Show me a link that shows a link between smoking and M.P.B, strange that most of the smokers I know are NW1's.

I swear people on this forum have a selective reading disorder. I have not said bad health causes baldness. Bad health + baldness gene = baldness. Bad health + no baldness gene = no baldness.

Why haven't you acknowledged mine and SAF's example in response to this ^?

As far as aging being a disease, I am aware of the talk about scientist trying to slow down/ hault the aging process by doing something on the cellular level but I don't know the details of the study. Regardless, if aging is a disease then we all have it so it becomes a moot point. I would be weary of any promises of eternal life, harkening back to Guliver's Travels.....

Anyhow, beyond all of your "evidence" what I really find offensive is what you are inferring with it.... THAT WE ARE BALD BECAUSE WE NEGLECT OUR HEALTH. On top of an already negative stigma towards bald people ^ this ^ just makes it all the more damning.

Google it, and you'll come across lots of articles on the subject.

People who smoke can probably lose hair if they're genetically pre-destined to do so! Smoking may or may not aggravate loss, but for example with me and my twin brother life-style hasn't had any impact on our hairloss. I eat healthy, exercise regularly, don't smoke, drink sparingly, etc and he's the exact opposite of that. Yet our hairloss in in the same exact stage.

Yeah, you can find plenty of articles on a great number of subjects on the internet.... doesn't mean they are credible or true. Doesn't PROVE a damn thing guy.

haha. this thread is funny. I am 5'10 and a norwood 1.5 and get sooo many girls. I feel bad for you fools.

I'm 6' and have nothing to complain about. However I dont think its the ideal height. Most women love tall men and 6'1 is considered tall. 6' is moreso above average. I would say:

6'5+ = Norwood 2
6'4 = Norwood 1.5
6'3 = Norwood 1
6'2 = Norwood 0 (no recession, absolutly perfect)
6'1 = Norwood 1
6' = Norwood 1.5
5'11 = Norwood 1.5
5'10 = Norwood 2
5'9 = Norwood 2.5
5'8 = Norwood 3
5'7 = Norwood 4
5'6 = Norwood 4
5'5 or lower = Norwood 5+

I had a health inspection or whatever it is called for work today, and I found out that I'm actually over 172 cm tall, which is more like 5'8" than 5'7". Lol, still pretty short . For some reason my height has never bothered me like hairloss and other flaws.

christ you're still 4 inches taller than me!

even after a single LL surgery i wont be as tall as you.

literally everrywhere i go i am the shortest guy in the room, rare is it for me to find a guy as short as me, i dont think i have ever in my entire life seen someone shorter than me.

people often look at me with a "he is as tall as girls" look, but preoblem is a lot of girls wear heels socailly al the time, when their short especially, etc.

I don't know if it's always been like that but my eyebrows actually do thin outwards.

Oh so is this like LSAT score and undergrad GPA? If you have two high numbers you're golden. If you have a low GPA, then you have to have a high LSAT. If you have low numbers for both then you're screwed.

 

[AnberlinFan84]

I am pretty tall but it still hasn't made me feel any better about my hair loss

 

[czecha]

That's pretty acurate, Imho.

5'10 is Norwood 2.5 now tbh
