If you legitimately have male pattern baldness, you could most likely follow that extent of his Androgenetic Alopecia. When you described that he has a huge hole of a vertex, he's probably a NW7.
My Maternal Grandfather is actually bald, slick bald with a NW6 pattern.

The ways of male pattern baldness are really unpredictable. I've read stories ala ''yeah my father (or some other close relative) is bald but it only happened when he already reached middle age. Im not suppossed to be loosing now."
yeah pretty much if you're already loosing earlier than he did, the chances are pretty bleak. the flip side though, now we have at least some options, as imperfect as those are, unlike previous generations. if you're legitemately loosing hair minoxidil alone won't do you much good though.

"A study in 2004 found that men whose fathers had male-pattern baldness were 2.5 times as likely to have some level of hair loss than men whose fathers did not, regardless of their maternal grandfathers."

My 2 brothers have norwood 1s and no thinning. Perfect hair. My dad had a mane and my mum had very thick hair. My maternal grandfather went full bald in his 50s but it started happening to me in my twenties.

My dad is 60 and maybe NW2. His father was like NW2.5 when he passed away in his 70s. One of his brothers is about a NW2 but the youngest brother went completely bald in his 20s. If you're lucky you won't but chances are you'll fall victim to the genetics he passed on.

My brother is a year older then me at 24, he isnt losing anything, Im a Norwood 2-3. My dad went bald on his vertex at 25 but kept the rest of his hair but in his mid 50s is thinning which you would expect at that age. Its very random indeed.

Sucks
The worst is when your siblings don't deal with it.
My brother loves to do the "meh I'd just shave my head" yet when I offer to do it for him he shuts up

Take a razor to the head and shave it at least partially. If you do a weird line of shaved hair, he'll be forced to shave all of it, like this:

So he had to do this:

Though, luckily for him, he looks pretty good with a shaved head, lol.

After three days hell just have that sexy shaved nw1 hairline that's NOT bald. He'd win either way.
That's why I hate shaving. You could still see how bad my hairline was and how big my forehead is

It'd give him a SMALL dose of reality. It's deserving though.
agreed. when your young shaving seems like a good idea, then u shave it 0 blade to hide the recession, then razor it and eventually u figure out that it doesnt hide the recession especially if u have dark hair, and now your stuck having the labourous task of shaving you whole head every morning otherwise the recession is more obvious (its obvious no matter how often you shave it) so then u grow back your hair which is very embarrassing because people see exactly how much you have receded, and then u spend the rest of your life using your bangs to cover up your rapidly receding temples.
sound familar?
and then some piece of **** with full hair comes up and says , 'why dont u just shave it all off man?'

He's one of the rare few.
Good skull breadth, and features. That, and he has MEGA tier temple points, and a low set hair line.

Even just clipping with a zero on the buzzers is laborious. Plus I always said it is way more work because everything else needs to be primmed daily.
Dress nice? Oh yeah because guys with hair all dress like slobs....... Bald advice is just the worst.

I agree with this, but I think body shape/height is the most important factor. A 5ft2 blob is still going to look awful armani suit or not. A 6ft guy with a decent body and low body fat will always look twenty times better.
