Bald Head: Is baldness a sign of decline?

[boxus]

A decline of....how much hair you have?

Then yes, it is a sign you have a decline in the amount of hair you have.

Baldness in men is a sign of male pattern baldness. You could look it up.

I don't believe so. It's genetic, usually from the men on the mother's side of the family. Men with early-onset balding may have higher than average testosterone levels.

I doubt it. Look at Patrick Stewart and Dwayne Johnson, to name just two!

Decline in what way?

Those are both much more myth than reality. (It is almost entirely genetic, yes.)

Huh? I had a buddy in hs who was practically bald on top where he had to do a combover. I kept pestering him to shave it. Finally he did. Best thing he ever did.

No it's a sign of male pattern baldness or chemotherapy.
