Yes, there must be a difference. Men who have smooth galeas are the ones who diffuse, while those with more ridged recede. I never thought about that.
So, you are saying that anyone, who wears glasses is going to be bald. My uncle wore glasses, from his school days and is overweight but still is a norwood 1.
Why do you still believe in this nonsense theory? It can't explain nothing. A theory turns into a fact when it can explain everything and it cannot be debunked.
I have gone through many theories but the Poor posture theory is the best.
My first theory was that balding is caused by hypertrophy of the scalp muscle due to stress and emotional tension. The answers of the questions according to this theory -
Why balding is often passed from father to son? - Father and son may respond to stress in similar way due to similar genes.
Why men do bald in a pattern?
- Because the mechanical tension is distributed differently throughout the galea.

Why is balding more common in older men when younger men produce more DHT? - because stress increases when you get older.
Why balding men have higher risk of heart disease? Because of the specific response to stress
Why do people with androgenetic alopecia often have vision problems? Because they strain their eyes due to stress response.
Why is it more common in overweight people because they eat more because of stress.
My next theory was that balding men have less subcutaneous fat in their scalp to protect their hair follicles from the mechanical tension of the scalp muscles which is similar in all men. According to this theory men who bald young are born with less subcutaneous fat in their scalp while those who bald later - it decreases with age. It can answer the following questions this way
Why baldness can be passed from father to son? - because father and son can have similar subcutaneous fat due to genetics.
Why is balding more common in older men when young men produces more DHT? Because young men have more subcutaneous fat.
This theory can't answer the following questions:
Why is it more common in overweight people?
Why male pattern baldness is associated with increased risk of heart disease?
and Why balding men often have vision problems?
The scull expansion theory, the gravity theory, the sensitivity to DHT theory all don't make any sense and can't answer amy questions.
I used to believe in my first two theories until I read the articles on tmdocclusion.com and I noticed that the vast majority of balding men have really poor cranofacial development and ALL balding men have poor postures. I noticed that baldness in more common in overweight people and balding people often have vision problems. Then I developped a new theory - the poor posture theory and this is the best theory that I formed. It answer the questions in the following way:
Why balding is often passed from father to son? Because you can inherit poor facial features from your father which may impact your posture.
Why is balding more common in older men when younger men produce more DHT? Because younger men on average have better posture and balding is normally very slow process unless it's sped up from external factors.
There are some unsolved mysteries that the subcutaneous fat and emotional tension theory didn't answer?
Why balding men have higher risk of heart disease? - because poor posture is associated with this risk.
Why is it common in overweight people - because overweight people are more llikely to have bad posture.
Why balding men are more likely to have vision problems ? - there is a link between bad vision and poor posture.
The external factors that can speed the balding process are instuline restitance and other disease that can cause evelated production of Sex hormone binding globulin which will lead to increased estrogen, prolactin and DHT levels and hence - more hair loss. Elevated prolatictin in men have an inflammatory effect. As I said the mechanical tension is the one that restricts the blood supply to tissues and induces epigenetic changes in the galea leading to increased 5 aplha reductase expression, reduced aromatase expression, increased TGF-B1 expression and inflammatory cytokines. DHT itself doesn't cause hair loss. The hair on the face have a lot of androgen receptors and 5 alpha reductase expression but doesn't thin and fall out.
