Are men with balding more common?

    I happened to notice a lot of men have hair loss. Is there any reason why this is happening?

    5G causing follicle damage obvs.

    More likely as you grow older you're around more people growing older and balding is heavily correlated with age.

    People look younger for longer, meaning that people who used to look old before they went bald in their mid 30s now don't look old - but are still going bald in their mid 30s.

    Noel Rock being an exception to the rule as he looked old in his early 20s.

    Diesel or aspertame exposure would be my guesses.

    I say this.
    You're at that age where you are noticing people going bald.

    Its thought to be largely genetic so you are likely just imagining it

    Male testosterone levels have decreased on average so that would contribute to balding being more common

    A decrease in tesosterone would not cause balding. Balding is caused by sensitivity to Dihydrotestosterone. Male testosterone levels decreasing on average sounds like bull**** anyway.

    I'm 22 and I just shaved my head..
    I guess I'd be looking out for it a bit more but I notice a few thinning crowns and receding temples.
    I notice a lot of guys cover it with long fringes.

    I don't know if it's actually becoming more common, I think we're just more vigilant of it.
