Hey SBG's.......Every one of my bald/balding friends (especially those with MPB) have a different story behind their baldness...Most say it was their dad, some say grandpa, some say they were just a victim of circumstance and others say that they're not balding, they just enjoy being bald...Looking back three generations on dad's side, my dad had all of his hair but had a quarter-size donut hole, my dad's dad was crown bald, and great grandad was a Norwood 6....So guys, if you have MPB (or even if you don't) whom do you think (or if you prefer, whom do you blame for it) you got your baldness from? Dad? Granddad? Just a victim of circumstance? Or you just enjoy being BBC? Thanks guys. (We were talking about this at work last night and I just wanted to see what you guys say)

My maternal grandfather is to "blame" for my MPB. He was MPB/bald for as long as I have memories of him. My father, his father, and his father all had decent heads of hair so it didn't come from that side of the family tree.
That being said, I do love being BBC and sticking it to Ma' Nature/genetics!

Harry I believe mine is from my dads gene's . And also some of my moms. But I like the shaved head and even if I did have hair I would have proably had to shave it. Once I did, I thought about going back to a head of some hair once. I lasted for about a month. Now I am SLY till Death ! It is only way to go. O0 8)

If you are BBC, you don't have to use DDT, and you are full of STP ! :*))

I went bald due to a severe allergic reaction to general anaesthesia. I always had a high hairline but the only bald person in my family history was my paternal great grandfather.
-
been buzzing my hair since i was 17. although if i do let it grow, I have a receding hairline/widows peak going on if it grows back long enough. my father has got the classic bald patch top middle of his head and does the comb over. Tried to tell him a number of times he should shave it off but he won't.
-
BBC here too, so... blame it on the razor :)
-
HM, oh wait the Milkman was totally bald on top .... :o :*))
But seriously, there where a bunch of balding guys in the family on each side. Different patterns. Could be each of them or all together. The obvious happened , I'm balding too.

MPB rans very heavy in my family, especially from a young age. My maternal grandfather still has a pretty decent head of hair for his age though. But on my dad's side all my uncles are at least thinning, my dad is no exception and I tell him at least once a week that he should join me in slydom, but he is content with going bald naturally.

I "Doug" it...
GBG, That's one way of putting it, I guess he is just really badly thinning, it's not like he is receeding like me. But there is still looks like there is as much scalp then hair up top, I wonder if he is going to do a homer simpson... haha

I'm from a pretty long line of bald men on my Dad's side. My Dad sports the horseshoe as did his Dad. Odd thing is that we all had great hair when we were young.

Dog, you look good bald. And you are an inspiration.

there are no bald men on either side of my family. All have full heads of hair.
I'm BBC. i blame it on a guy at work.he encouraged me to go shorter with my hair about 5 years ago.
And now I wear it bald.

I got it from my own fault for not wearing a ball cap on a very windy day when I was age 22.
It was a warm spring day and I was outdoors when this wind gust of 40+ mph came with a WHOOOOSHHH and all of a sudden I saw my long + stringy hair on top whip around and then fly into the sunset. I tried so hard to take the long hair from the side and comb it over but the strong wind did not allow it to stay put. So I drove to the barber and told him "peel it clean". (As a youngster, my dad used to tell that "wind gust of 40+ mph came with a WHOOOOSHHH " story when my friends asked what happened to the hair on top of his head. So I adopted his story and added creativity. LOL ! ;D

Proudly BBC. I got it from the urge to be shaved smooth and kept it smooth from then on. :)
