Is this just my swirl or is my crown thinning?

I think it's just your part/cowlick. If the first picture is your hair when wet you are fine IMO.

No way - the patch is slick bald in the second pic, and at least the size of nickel. Definitely hair loss.

That could be because of the flash but it is not slick bald lol was that sarcasm?

No hairloss whatsoever, it's from point blank range with a flash on the camera so of course there's going to be some scalp showing that's only natural.

Your hair doesn't look like it's thinning at all, and I am assuming it is wet. (Which would show thinning
more). Don't know about your front though.

It is only wet in the first pic, the others are completely dry, unstyled, with no product in it.

That is honestly just his cowlick. Plus if he was thinning in his crown it would be SUPER visible in the picture with his wet hair.

I just recommend keeping an eye on it, take pictures of it every 3 months or so.

Doesnt look like it is thinning around the crown, you're probably fine

Dude, young men do not have that much scalp showing, cowlick or not. You're asking a bunch of older balding men - of course they're going to say you're fine, because compared to them, you are. They don't remember how thick a young man's hair is suppose to be.

If you THINK you're losing hair, then you almost certainly are. And remember: By the time it's visible to the naked eye, the hair loss has already advanced significantly.

Get on minoxodil. When it gets worse, get on finasteride and Nizoral. Or do nothing, then come back here in a few months and ask the question you already know the answer to again, hoping for a different response.

I have to respectfully disagree. I think the majority of men have cowlicks that look just like that. Many men who are not losing their hair have it far worse too.

yea no, I have seen young people with very visible hair whorls, even some children, it varies heavily, this does not look like hairloss to me

Why does thinking I'm losing hair makes you say that I am?

Actually very young people can have that much scalp showing at the crown. I was looking out my friend's second story apartment window and a kid of about 14 walked past below and he had a cowlick bigger (more scalp showing) than the guy in that picture. There is nothing wrong with that crown. Nothing at all, man.

It does seem to me that it is slight thinning and possibly the onset of hair loss. However, you're in pretty good shape right now. I would just monitor it and if it appears to thin (or, more importantly, widen), then you can consider treating it.

That is pretty much what my crown looks like right now, and has been that way for over a year, despite not using minoxidil or finasteride during that time period. However, the thinning on the front and top has continued to progress.
