    If you are afraid about your child getting baldness gene, marry a woman with good hair genes. For example, I have very bad hair genes, but my wife's family has top notch hair genes. Her father is almost 70, NW0 and his hair is still not grey. Of course I didn't have this in my mind when I married her, but my point is that my son may have inherited her hair genes rather than mine, so may not happen to be bald later on.

      And what happens if your son does inherit your genes ? Are you going to tell him just to shave it off and be confident ? Even though his own dad is a member of a hair loss forum ?

        Of course, nothing wrong in being bald. But by the time he starts loosing his hair, we would have a cure for it anyway. So there is even less need to worry about your son getting bald.

          Hairislife, Let's get real. The risk of you passing on your narcissistic traits and borderline personality is gonna be a way bigger problem than the risk of actually getting a son, who loses his hair at a certain stage in his life. Yet I don't see you pondering about that.
          I repeat my previous post. Going bald is an unpleasant situation. Yet despite this, the very large majority of men manage to live perfectly happy lives. Again there are waaaay worse genetic traits being passed on, people on this board don't give a toss about. You can think what you want but please don't to mistake delusion as an act of compassion. It's simply not true.

          My goal and job as a father will be giving him a good upbringing and raising a boy into an intelligent and grounded man who might encounters obstacles in his life but is strong enough to eventually overcome them. If losing his hair automatically means for him a life of failure, I'd be ashamed of him and only blame myself for not giving him the upbringing he deserved.

            Most people aren't good looking anyway, it's the fact that most people have hair that makes us stand out so much. That's the WORST part about it. If 7/10 guys were actually balding in their 30's, things wouldn't be so rough, but unfortunately it's not that way. The fact of the matter is, only a handful of men with shit genes actually lose their hair in their 20's and 30's. There's VERY little we can do about it and we're constantly mocked by society. Do you see people making fun of a celebrity's jaw or canthal tilt ? Whatever the f*ck that is.. NO, you don't ! Here's what you do see, article after article of people mocking Jude Law, Prince William, Lebron James, Tiger Woods etc.

            It's not all about the looks, it's about fitting in and feeling normal. Being the balding 20 year old, it's hard to feel normal when you're the oddball. Society has made it acceptable to mock us, and that's not cool. If you want to save your kids from a life of hell, don't have them. They'll thank you for saving them the grief.
            I don't think you would be mocked for looking like that. I repeat, bald is one of the coolest look possible. Its uber masculine and impressive. Those who cry about losing hair are the ugly guys who fear they no more would be able to hide their ugly faces with hair.

              I hate to red pill you, but no one gives a shit about morals and ethics nowadays, it's all about looks. Here's an example and I've posted him a thousand times before: Jeremy Meeks. He's a criminal in the U.S charged with illegal possession of a firearm. His picture was posted by the state police and got over 30,000 likes on Facebook. Do you think the average looking, respectful, honest guy would EVER get that many likes on a Facebook picture ? Nope. Passing the balding gene onto your kids would undoubtedly set them up for failure. No one gives a shit if you saved all the animals in the wild or helped feed all the starving children in Africa, if you're disfigured by MPB then you're going to be socially crippled, put in a box and hid away under the bed. I get a kick out of you guys who speak as if MPB is nothing but a minor setback. It completely f*cked up my life just like it has to the many others on this site. People kill themselves over this shit.

                I'm going through a similar thing, HairIsLife. Rogaine didn't even slow it down, and I have to quit Fin from sides effects. I don't know how anyone can be prepared for such a thing to happen. It's been months and I still can't get over it, and noticing that my crown has started thinning has been a whole ordeal in itself.

                  I had to jump off Fin because of sides too. What a shitty drug. Anyway, how old are you ?

                      I fully agree. Sometimes I wonder these guys whining so much about their baldness, must have a pretty awesome life besides their hairloss. I mean, I have so many other things to worry about, like Family, Job and Finances etc, that this thought doesn't even cross my mind, but yet you have these guys who apparently have no problems in their lives besides just hair. If your only worry in life is Hair, you must consider yourself among the lucky ones and stop whining!

                        Hairismylife is speaking of the true reality that us young hair loss sufferers have to go through each day we wake up in the morning. Its paramount to CIA-like physchological torture methods. They both produce the same results-no more will to live anymore. There is obviously more things for us to woory about other than our hairloss, i deal with painfull autoimmune disorders and a family that doesnt even contact me and ask me how my life is going, i have an opiod dependency as well, but the truth of the matter is that hairloss triumph's over every other worry or issue in a young mans life and the previous worrys become of no concern after hair loss. These arent narcisistic traits we are protraying, lets be real here, we are in our young 20s, we want to be normal, how is wanting to be normal narcisistic???

                        The intensity of pain caused by hairloss is unmatched by anything else ive ever felt,
