BALD references in MOVIES

[dda]

Age and family are pretty much meaningless when it comes to hair loss.
It's in our evolutionary hardwiring to care. Those who think theyll magically stop caring when they're x# of years old or when they have a wife and kids--you're in for a rough surprise.

I'm sorry but thats a bunch of crap man. I could never see myself caring too much about hairloss if I was married with kids. I mean sure, I'd wake up in the morning, look in the mirror and still be pissed, but I'd be so involved with the family and kids that it would be on the backburner. By then, they would probably have put me through so much stress that no medicine would help me anyway and I would just shave it down.

Of course I am going to be concerned about balding in my early 20s when I am still in the hunt and playing the game.. because its not right when I look around and the vast majority of guys my age actually look there age

It doesn't work that way, it only seems that way sometimes when you're young.
You are evolutionarily hardwired to care how other women perceive you whether you have kids or a wife, whether you are 25 or 65. More potential mates means more potential to diversify the DNA of your offspring, which means a stronger chance of your line continuing longer.
This is why starting to lose hair is horrible at 55 just as it is at 20. However for those who start losing at 20 and live to 55, it can get easier since you've had so much time to get used to it. (Although some people never reach that stage.)
There are some especially bad aspects of starting to lose it young ,since as you say most of your peers aren't in the same boat and can't empathize. But overall it's actually not that different. When your body suddenly starts disfiguring itself due to a genetic mutation you can't control, it is highly depressing. In general, the idea that you will "break the spell" by having a marriage ceremony or popping some kids out is not correct, even though these things can provide some convenient distractions.
Another thing to consider however: most marriages are temporary, and most that aren't, do not stay monogamous (either because of cheating or mutually agreed "opening" of the marriage)
