    I notice guys these days seem to be getting bald at a younger and younger age. I know guys in their early 20s who are already getting bald.

    What the fuck is going on?

    Baldness is caused by losing one's hair.

    No, it is not caused by it. It is caused by something else.

    To point out what causes the perception of baldness, ergo, Baldness is caused by losing one's hair.
    Having helped you in this way I admit I cannot in another having so much hair I rent it out to small animals.

    Well, baldness is not caused by losing one's hair. Baldness is just a term for losing or having lost one's hair. The cause of it is something else.

    Nothing, there were always guys losing their hair at an early age. One thing I am noticing is that it's becoming more accepted to have a bald head instead of doing weird combovers or other bald spot camouflaging.

    A bald person told me that he actually had as many hairs on his head as a normal person. However, the hairs he had were actually smaller than a normal person's - so it *looked* like he had less. Atleast thats what he told me. He even showed me a scientific report stating this.

    This gave me an idea. Bald people could strap lots of magnifying glasses to their heads. These would magnify their hairs. And make them look normal again.

    If true, the down side to all this is that the sunlight in Summer, and magnifying glasses might cause a fire to someone's head.

    However, nobody really likes bald people. So... even that is a positive benefit to this fantastic discovery.

    When I was in my early 20s I hardly ever saw natural bald people my age. I wonder if global warming has anything to do with it or that there is a different reason.

    They probably were hiding it. I also see less caps these days. Hats however seem to get more popular around here (even in summer).

    Probably when you were early 20s, bald people looked old.

    But now you are 91, bald people look young, but are actually the same age.

    Bald people still look old. I have seen bald 20-somethings who look older than me at 91.

    Dont worry Glen, I'm sure a hat with those corks on it suits you perfectly .. ! ;)

    Perhaps you could say it was a combined outdoor,swimming, shower and sleeping hat?

    There was a guy in our school Apparently he would jerk off about 500x a day.
    I'm not sure how the whole world found out that number, but anyway...

    Apparently self abuse is a cause of it. Loss of protein/zinc/lifeforce/ testosterone or whatever it is.

    Anyway, by 21, he was completely bald. (And went round with bandages on his hands... )

    Maybe he should've put the bandages on his head?

    So baldness is a term for losing or having lost one's hair and that term reflects the perception that someone has lost their hair. Temporary baldness can come from shaving ones head so loosing hair would precisely be the reason for much young male baldness.

    Gabbers and neo-Nazis shave their heads and they can indeed be considered bald at the precise moment they have shaved their hair.

    When my hair grew back in it was far thinner than before. So I can relate to what it looks like. I still have a full head of hair now but it is not the same as before it fell out.

    As far as the rest, I think it is something I want to pass on. :)

    Baldness is certainly not caused by growing hair back after it has all fallen out... :afro:
