Since they never believe you and want to give you a hard time about it, I figured I would post this link that I stumbled on tonight. This appears to be written by MD's FWIW.

"Adolescent boys notice some receding near the temples as their hairlines change from the straight-across boys' pattern to the more "M-shaped" pattern of adult men. This normal development does not mean they are losing hair."

Thank you. I know there are some posters here who are still not going to accept it but we do what we can for as many as we can.

Well I am glad you are telling it like it is so these younger guys won't freq out and think they will be cue balls in 5 years or so. When that happened to me I was scared so I know where they are coming from. But I posted a recent pic of what I look like with dry hair so even 30 years later I still have a decent head of hair- enough to fool some of the women at work at least

Hopefully some of these younger guys will do some reading and educate themselves that not everyone goes bald in 5 or 10 years and some recession is normal.

Mmm, it's been a while since I've read so much denial in one place.

NW1 OR NOTHING!

Then why do some guys NOT develop this?

You and Tracy dance around this question so much.

I don't. The figures I have read in the past said about 95% of males get this. Another one said 99%. What about the other 1%-5%? Not sure. Why do some men fail to get beards? Not sure but most do.

I don't disagree that it often goes to mpb but even if it does it can be a very slow process. Just don't think it is good to scare guys going through this into thinking they will be bald in a few years. When I was 17 I wish someone would have told me that it was normal and would probably stop on it's own-least for some time. Would have saved me much worrying.

No one has ever danced around that question. You simply refuse to accept the answer. No one knows why any more than they know why some people are left handed.

Why do you keep asking me for that. I don't keep pictures of this. There is no reason for me to keep pictures of this, so why would I? Besides, you have been shown over and over and over again in this forum. Then you belligerently post pics of men who did not develop an adult male hair line. You are very belligerent and that got old a long time ago. You are not even balding. Just go away.
