The instant attraction comment is spot on. Once you're beyond that initial hurdle physical appearance becomes significantly less important. Good looks (and hair) will only open the door..
For what its worth I'm 36, average looking, diffuse Norwood 2.5 (I think) and regularly fishing in the same...
Can any generalizations be made about this smaller group that does regrow/thicken? For example I'd guess a 40 year old guy with slow diffuse thinning over 10-15 years would respond better to finasteride than a 22 at a similar stage of diffuse thinning. Is this logic sound?
I'm 36 in this situation...
