Is a NW2 hairline often seen as more manly than NW1 hairline?

[hair_nag]

In art I often see that men who are supposed to look masculine have a NW2. Is this just cause NW2 is seen as a bit older than NW1?


If more masculine, wouldn't it stand to reason that most women would find NW2 hairlines more attractive?

I don't think it matters much, especially if you are late 20's, 30's
both nw1 and nw2 equal a full head of hair
There are those who look worse with a Norwood 2 because they have a naturally large forehead however
for example from suits this guy looks distinguished with a nw2


whereas patrick j adams wouldn't be able to pull it off since his forehead is already like 5 fingers

Good question. Now I've gone to like Norwood 2.5 but before when I was a proper Norwood 2 it really suited me. I've done modelling in the past as a Norwood 2 and it really depends how you look. I have a defined jaw, nose in particular so it provided a natural frame as the hairline went away at the corners. Even then I felt a straight hairline just wouldn't look right, this is before I was actually balding. If I have a transplant it will be for Norwood 2. Also helps to save grafts I guess. I'm 29.

Depends on what suits you tbh. You see some black guys deliberately shave a slightly U shaped hairline, others want a straight one. My friend used to do a U shaped one and he is African origin.

I wouldnt say more manly, i would just say more mature

Everyone thinks differently. To me mature simply means older looking. Also to me the big downside to male pattern baldness is that makes you look older so for me I would always pick Norwood 1 over 2. There is no such thing as too much hair to me. I would take teenage Norwood 1 anyday over more advanced Norwood. Some guys might like hair loss and being Norwood 2 so good for them if they prefer that. I dont see looking younger as a bad thing I guess.

yes

Nothing manly, and masculine about balding :roll:


it's a recessive trait, and considered a disease.

He higher the norwood, the more of a man you are.

If women think its repulsive, it doesn't matter what you think.

 

[hair_nag]

Women think NW2 is repulsive? really?

Is male pattern baldness really recessive? if so why do the majority of men experience it?

Women wouldn't even recognise somebody was balding at NW2

 

[SayifDoit]

Only horrid thing about becoming a nw2 is that your hairline no longer frames your face. Try taking a photo of yourself, its pretty obvious something is missing. MIA Temples.

I wish I didn't have such a large forehead.

 

[winnyblues]

Well when you are bald nothing frames your face m8

 

[Nadester]

Sure their are, but not that good or appleaing.
You could get it shaved, lose face fat and BE PURE BADASS(IMO). Although i can't guarantee you would look better, but you WILL look better then what you are now.
What matters at the end of the day is acceptance and the course of action.

 

[shookwun]

temples aren't the only thing lost, also temple points for most.

Without TP most have that wide forehead look

without temples most have a big forehead look

together = lack of frame.

I don't know what the argument here is. If by some miracle any one of you woke up tomorrow with a thick Norwood 2, you'd be dancing in the streets. I know I would be. Big forehead!? Pffffffffffffffffffffffff! You'd have a full head of hair mother f*cker. STFU, comb it forward like Caesar, and be happy haha.

Indeed. For most the difference between 1+2 is negligible. You can mitigate a large forehead with styling.
