Laugh to keep from crying

[Cincinnati Kid]

Went to a BBQ at my roommate's family home today. He's 25 like me. I walked into the backyard, and he starts introducing me to people. Then, we walked over to the grill so he could introduce me to his dad. The guy on the grill looked to be about 39 years old, so I was thinking, "there's no way that's his dad." I quickly asked him how old his dad was, to which he replied, "Sixty-two." We approach the guy and says, "Dad, this is my roomate." The man turns around to shake my hand, and I am just absolutely floored at what I was looking at. Aside from the fact that he was in good physical shape, this man was a Norwood 1 with thick, jet black hair and not a single grey hair to be found aside from a couple in his sideburns. I come to find out later that he doesn't even dye his hair. I swear I thought I was looking at the Chupacabra or Bigfoot. I just wanted to go put my fist through a wall.

My dad is a NW1-2 and he is 60... he has more hair than me at 23 -.- But anyway, he still looks his age, although he does have gray hair. But you need more than just good hair to look younger than your age.

It's kinda depressing though, when I'm in the wind/have short hair i look my age/look older (i probably look 30 from a distance), but when my NW3 temples are covered which my hair seems to do quite well when not exposed to wind or water, I can still get away with being 18

i got braces today, my dentist and his dad, both work at the same clinic. his dad is NW1 while he himself is bald, nothing on the top of his head. He earns well, is married happily and seems like a happy person overall. i wonder how much did balding affect him and if it did, has he put it behind him or maybe somewhere in his heart he wants his hair back.

Yep, my dad is 55 and has the best head shape and hairline I've ever seen. I'm 25 and have always had less hair then him. He doens't have a single gray hair, and the ironic part is he cares so little about his hair he shaves it at a 1 or 2.
