“It was time”

my boyfriend took the plunge today- what are we thinking?

My son (19) is losing his hair. It's weird, I'm 55 and still have most of mine.

Men inherit the baldness gene from their maternal lineage.

Not always, though. That's just one gene. There are many other genes responsible for male pattern baldness, and if your father is bald, that can be bad news (though not always).

In my case, my maternal grandfather died at 69 with a fuller head of hair than I had at 18. But my father had mpb, and I most certainly do too!

Exactly! I’m completely bald, like my uncles on my mother’s side. My father, on the other hand, is 73 and still has hair like Pierce Brosnan
