Tell me all about it, dear...

Yeah, tell me about it... Actually, I really can't complain. I know I have some major thinning going on the top of my head towards the back, but unless I deliberately hold a digital camera back there and take a picture, I can't see it so it's as if the "less hair there" isn't there. I also have a lot more forehead than I used to, but it's not that noticeable because of the hair style I've had for decades, so it's really only when my hair is wet and plastered down that the additional acreage of forehead it noticeable, but fortunately our bathroom mirror tends to be fogged up after a shower. Since male baldness is female-linked, I have to think of my mother's brothers and their high foreheads instead of my father's full head of hair... and my youngest keeps saying "thanks Mom" as he watches the thinning hair on his maternal uncles and cousins and looks at himself in the mirror.

In my family, the men call a bald spot a "Solar panel for a sex machine". Go to my FB, and take a look at my "Old Family Photos". In there you will see a picture of my Dad when he was 33 holding my brother. Then look at the next picture of him at Easter a scant 9 years later. He was only 41 in the last picture. Female linked? Maybe. But out of 4 brothers, three of them are/were bald.
The one who still has hair is the one wiping away tears of laughter in the photo of my brother Rich's birthday. BTW, Rich was all of 26 in the pic. Being a man in my family ain't pretty.

Yeah, good to be a girl for the most part, and not all physical, but what IS it with the post-c-section pooch? Mine starts right at the incision, which is actually a double incision for two 9+ lb babies. Right there at that line the droop starts and no amount of crunches can fix it. I work on lower abs twice as much as upper , but only the upper improve. But, I can wear the suck-it-in slimming unders when necessary and not worry about it the other times and I do have two great boys for the trouble.

My husband got his bald head from his mother's side of the family too. He has been shaving it off for about 5 years or so now and I have to say it's much better than when he tried to grow it and comb it....euuw....
my son still has gorgeous dark brunette curly hair - only slightly thinning at the temples. My father had coal black hair to the day he died from cancer at age 72....

I've always been terrified of losing my hair... My father has been pretty bald for quite a while, and my mother's hair started to get seriously thin when she was in her forties. So far, I've managed to dodge that particular bullet, knock wood. I can sympathize with guys like Mick and Daniel... When I went to see the movie Wild Heart, I found myself admiring Jeff Bridges' hair almost as much as his performance!
