For the most part is seems like most people thought "it will never be me" when it comes to male pattern baldness. I was actually a bit smarter than that. I looked around, saw bald family members and thought "Ya, its possible I will be bald some day". However, the real kick in the nuts is that never in a million years would I have thought I would be losing hair in my early 20s. I thought it was something reserved for "old" people. Now at 19 I am a NW2 and I'm almost 100% positive I'm losing my hair to male pattern baldness. I know at this point I have it easier than guys like UC man who have fully lost it.
However, I used to be one of those "get over it, its just baldness" kind of guys and for that I'm sorry. Theres a guy in my math class who is completley NW6 bald. I can tell from his facial features hes only a young guy in his 20s at most, but to other classmates that are unaware, he looks like one of those "old" students that nobody wants to associate with; especially in a class of mostly 18-20 yr olds. I see the sorrow in his eyes and the lack of confidence and I just feel so bad for him. No girls his own age would ever take him seriously in a romantic way and its just sad. It really hits home to me that I never want to become that guy. So I'm really sorry UC man, even though you are 35 I'm sure the baldness in your 20s is really what effected you.
