What is the percentage of me going NW3? Based off my family history

Reaction score

My dad is 60 years old and he is a NW3, his younger brothers are NW4 and his dad Died at 90 as a Norwood 5. My mom on the other hand, her side of the family has great hair. None of her brothers are bald and they are either Norwood 0.5 or Norwood 1 at age 50. Her dad is like a Norwood 0.5 at the age of 77! Im 31 and I hate my hair line and I will not post pics because when I did, I would just get ridiculed and told that Iam trolling and that I have good hair. Base off of the information what are my chances in percentage will I be a Norwood 3? I hope I have the same hairline by the time I reach 40. Ryan Phillipe is my role model. Hes 40 years old and looks like hes 23 because of his hair line.

there is no way you could know , male pattern baldness can skip generations.

I would say 50% as your mother's side is okay, it's literally a heads or tails outcome that you are trying to predict.

the age of its occurrence is even trickier to predict .... my oldest uncle started balding at 19 , whereas his young brother has undergone hairloss at his 45 , his even younger brother is in his 50's with nw1.

just touch a lot of wood and consume lots of clovers (4 leafed ones preferably) , that's the better way ;)

The fact your dad is 60 and a nw3 is pretty ****ing good.
You're pretty much100% gurranteed to get male pattern baldness at one time in your life, the fact that you dad has male pattern baldness amplifies that fact ten fold

I've seen your threads, I've seen your hairline, you have 0% chance of being bald in this life man. Zero.
Stop trying to convince yourself and others that you may be balding. It's not going to happen to you, ever, unless you pour acid on your head.
Now take a deep breath and feel good about yourself, and stop stressing so much.

I wish that was directed at me. :sobbing:

I'm envious of guys who dodge the bullet, they have no f*ckn idea what was waiting for them on the other side.
