I've posted on here before, some people said that I wasn't balding, other people said I was. I went to two hair loss specialists, one said I was, the other said I wasn't. My parents and my girlfriend of three years say that I'm crazy because I'm not balding, and that my hair has always looked like that. I wouldn't know because I wore my hair in a solid bowl cut all the way through high school (somehow still got chicks, for some reason. I looked like crap back then). However, I do remember that I always had a naturally high hairline, and my friends would joke saying that if I even receded a little, it would look like I was going bald. I got a haircut for a job interview (use to wear it really long before), and I wore a beanie to school a lot because the hair cut was terrible. One day, in class, I took my hat off and ruffled my hair, and my instructor went wide eyed for some reason. Maybe this is just me projecting my inner fear of hair loss, but I assumed it was because he saw my hairline for the first time and was going, "Oh ****. That kid's going bald." My friend, Dom, has never reacted to my hairline before until I pointed it out one day. I showed him my right temple, and he didn't react much, but when I showed him my left one, I could see that his face had a look of surprise on it. Again, maybe it's me projecting and imagining stuff that wasn't actually going on.
My hair is thick, there's no thinning anywhere around my head that I can tell. I pass the pull test in every location of my head, even in the corners of the temples. I can't pull out any hairs at all most of the time, and when I do, I only pull out one. I get the ones with the little white bulb at the end, which I read is good. The only place that I'm worried about is my left temple. My right temple is spot on. Honestly, if my left looked like my right, I probably wouldn't even be on this board right now. But anyways, here's some pictures. I know they're crappy; I had to use the camera on my mac.

As a further note, from the lowest point of my hairline, my temples are exactly one inch above that.
