Why do men go bald on top of their heads but not the facial hair? (discuss.online)

I guess that goes for eyebrows and other body hair in general, but it seems like hair loss with age is very specifically only on top of the head and nowhere else.

I'm genuinely curious. By what age did you become bald?

Not the guy you asked but that is a decent question.

My hair thinned massively between ages 21-23, and when I was 24 I’d had enough and finished the rest off with a razor.

21-22 I could get away with it, but by 24 it was ridiculous and nothing could hide it short of always wearing a hat.

That's interesting. Surprised it could take 4 years. Thought it took 10-15 years of slow receding hair lines.
