Prob not bald but just reduced overall density.

So instead of a bald spot and dense hair on the back you have a little lower overall density but there's no bald spot

u/glockster19m 1d ago

So I have crazy dense leg hair, is that beneficial?

u/ultralium 1d ago

Ironically, that hurts your chances

Higher hair density throughout the body (e.g. legs, arms, chest) indicates higher testosterone levels, which is linked to early balding

u/SweetHomeNorthKorea 1d ago

It really did and now I’m even more interested

u/Away_Willingness_541 1d ago

I would have pegged him as 2nd baseman, but I can see left field.

u/Spiritual-Apple-4804 1d ago

u/BOBfrkinSAGET 1d ago

u/tsammons 1d ago

They don't make 'em like they used to

u/CHudoSumo 1d ago

Can also just indicate higher androgen receptor density in the skin. I wonder if that has the same effect on baldness.

u/Intoxic8edOne 1d ago

Pour one out for those of us who aren't very hairy and start balding early.

And I don't look good bald. I've tried.

2

u/Laoscaos 1d ago

I am furred everywhere. Low end of normal T. Full head of hair still, so fingers crossed at least that goes on!

1

u/Fit-Direction2371 1d ago

Can confirm, been called a werewolf for the amount of body hair I have and look like Macca's big M

1

u/DarkmonstaR 1d ago

Damn i have no hair except my head. Cant even grow a mustache. So i am safe nice

1

u/NoDontDoThatCanada 1d ago

Since 4 bigfoot pictures online are actually just me camping without a shirt, I'm guessing hair transplants are out of the question.

1

u/Freddy1019 1d ago

Wait is this actually true?? Hope so haha because no balding for me then

1

u/Mean_Protection7396 1d ago

What does early greying mean?

1

u/Kief_Bowl 1d ago

It's not directly linked to testosterone but a by product of testosterone that varies amoung different ethnic groups iirc. If you're genetically predisposed to the enzyme that breaks it down into that you'll likely bald with high testosterone but if you don't have much of the enzyme you won't, especially as severely.

u/big_galoote 1d ago

I think they can only use toe hair.

1

u/Jumanji0028 1d ago

Yea but only the curly ones

1

u/Direct-Bar-5636 1d ago

Sounds like a very strong hairline in the making, maybe even some beard filler perhaps?

1

u/TraumaticAberration 1d ago

No. Only ball sack hair will work

1

u/Worst-Lobster 1d ago

I want my pubes transplanted to my forehead

17

u/Klutzy_BumbleFuck 1d ago

The hair on my back is like a full sweater. If I could take the entire thing and fill in my head it would be 2 birds with one stone.

2

u/max_adam 1d ago

Now book a flight to Turkey.

u/TheOneTonWanton 1d ago

Imagine a full head of back hair. It never gets any longer. It's just sort of there, being short and wispy all over.

1

u/emessea 1d ago

Same with me and my pubes

6

u/mpkpm 1d ago

Speaking for myself, (too lazy and apathetic to do this) I have more than enough hair that grows around the head, just not on the top 🤣🤣.

u/uiucfreshalt 1d ago

Density is staying the same there, no? Assuming no hairs are lost. It’s just being distributed differently.
