Anyone else here who can honestly say that they've always had receded looking hairlines? I think I've been an NW 1.5 all my life.
Lucky you I was never less than a NW2.

While never an NW1, I bet you still have more hair on your head than me today. If you are nw2 in your thirties then pardon me if I don't feel sorry for your never having a black guys hairline.
Lets face it, confidence will never frame your face properly....a girl can't run her fingers through your confidence.
I was never a norwood 1! Was worried about receding temples at school from age 14!
It's the bolt, it's the buzz, it's the sheer f*ck offness of it all
Is it really necessary for you to hijack everyone else's posts by basically stating 'but i have it worse'? Hair loss isn't a disease but the mental effects of the loss can be real - everybody experiences that differently - some guys don't care about going completely bald, some guys are devastated at a slightly receded hairline or some asymmetry. Just because someone might not have the same level of hair loss as you, doesn't necessarily mean that their suffering or experience from it has been any better or any worse. My dad who is NW7 would have been amazed by the posts on here and tell you guys to get over it because he wouldn't understand that level of insecurity.
Sorry but I really don't like how there are a few posters here (not just you) who think that if someone isn't NW6 then they have no right to be talking about their fears or experiences of hair loss and even are blunt enough to state that opinion in quite a rude way.
I was freaking Norwood -1, hard to imagine a kid not having a norwood 1, anyone get pics?
yeah my mum's got **** loads all over the mantel peice unfortunately. Nothing digital though!

There is a fundamental difference between worried about HL only you notice vs. everybody noticing. Last time I checked people weren't yelling baldy to nw2s out their car window. Point is he is safe from public ridicule while I am not, no matter how bad he may feel about his temple recession. He is safe.Is it really necessary for you to hijack everyone else's posts by basically stating 'but i have it worse'?

Really, is that the best, most practised response you can give?
