…or male pattern baldness

Happens to the best of us

u/odiethethird 14d ago

The whole male side of my family is bald and I’m dreading when it finally comes for me, but I already know I’ll just accept it when that time comes and join the rest of my Mr. Clean family

u/MisterWoogie 14d ago

Same here. Enjoy it while you got it! Accepting it is all that needs to be done. No Turkish hair implants. Just a man accepting his fate.

My father had the comb over. One day my brother and I were on the back of the tractor watching it wave in the wind like a goddamned flag. We look each other in the eye and you could tell we were both thinking "When it's our turn, we're just going to go bald."

MPB is linked to the X chromosome which is passed down from mothers. women have two X chromosomes (the second chromosome coming from the father) so it is less likely to be expressed, because the second chromosome can ‘hide’ (for lack of better term) a X chromosome carrying the marker. because men only have one X chromosome, if that X chromosome is carrying that marker, MPB will be expressed. so if your mom’s side of the family has a full head of hair, you might not wind up being effected by MPB

My mom's male family all had it but my Dad's all keep full heads of hair till old age so this explains why I missed it.

u/Astrodm 14d ago

Its not actually from your father that you get the genes for baldness its from your mother, so if your mother's father isnt bald then you have little to worry about

u/Tangata_Tunguska 14d ago

That's a myth. Inheritance is strongest from the father, about 80%, suggesting its actually partially y-linked or due to epigenetic factors passed on from the father

u/Neither-Attention940 14d ago

My husband has a full head of hair at age 50 and his brother who is 47 is half bald. Their mother‘s father had a full head of hair.

I would tend to agree with you, but it doesn’t seem like genetics are for certain

u/BricksAbility 14d ago

I should have a full head of hair so… but alas

1

u/lochmoigh1 14d ago

Nope. My mom dad had a full head of hair in his 70s. Her brother full head in his late 60s. I'm bald as fuck like my dad.

u/spaghettisurfer 14d ago

This has nothing to do with his confidence in not losing his hat to a wipeout

u/laosguy615 14d ago

I'm here looking like a samurai already... None in the middle... Patches all around,

smbh.... Yes I said it.

Scalp skin cancer is a real bloody thing. Mate has to get ‘cancer spots’ removed. English skin, MPB and Australian sun. In other words, he being intelligent. ‘What about the kid?!’ The kid has hair.

1

u/LrkerfckuSpez 14d ago

I'm inclined to say he's done it before, one or two times.

u/SuckItHiveMind 14d ago

It helps with sunburn. Not really a confidence issue.

1

u/spaghettisurfer 14d ago

Yes and if he wasn't confident in his surfing abilities he would just use sunscreen. I feel like people who don't understand my comment have never been in water before

1

u/SuckItHiveMind 14d ago

I’ve been logging for 30 years. Your comment is silly.

Zinc, sure. Sunscreen, nah. Either way a hat is much more common.

u/Then-Can4429 14d ago

Dude, he is Pedro Scooby! Insane surfer on giant waves, has plenty of video footage on Nazaré, Portugal

u/KamikazeFox_ 14d ago

So damn smooth

u/Glad_Cat_5129 14d ago edited 14d ago

The father is very skilled, maybe he is already a trainer or somthing, that was very cool.

u/Brewtal66 14d ago

He’s professional surfer Billy Kemper. Still actively surfs.

u/Agitated_Year8521 14d ago

I can tell he still actively surfs, literally just saw it with my own eyes😂

u/Brewtal66 14d ago

Yes - I’m not sure how old the video is. He has a couple young boys and I believe they both surf as well.

u/Yehoshua_ANA_EHYEH 14d ago

I can tell that one of them surfs, I just saw it with my own eyes.

u/coaxialology 14d ago

The ease with which he maneuvers his son is so damned impressive. Being that good of a teacher must take so much skill on top of being a pro. Very cool.

1

u/Reatina 14d ago

Look at the way he lower his center of mass when the kid is on the table, to stabilize it.

He is great at surfing.

u/UngodlyTemptations 14d ago

If the ocean didn't take it, it must be on tight enough that he doesn't want it off

1

u/facePlantDiggidy 14d ago

Oh...  I thought it was impressive because father loves chils. :/

u/Handy_Capable 14d ago

That is one skilled and fit dude. Wow

u/FamRep 14d ago

Very wholesome and inspiring
