I honestly do not understand why as men we have to lose our hair

[BaldingSoHard]

The back and sides of my shyt is still banging I know that much.

Black Men don't really have to worry about that that much imo because going bald is always an option and it usually looks good/classy on BM

Now obviously some brehs just like having hair and that's fine, just saying that it's not as bad as it can get for some WM tbh. Me personnaly I've been cutting my hair really short since forever so it won't be much of a transition if/when it happens

 

[Robo Squirrel]

Its true. Do you know how bad i wanna brush my shyt?

*are you really balding so hard?

This.

I've been bald most of my life.

It's never been a problem .

I don't have to worry about that, but it would be nice if I could lose all my pubic and ass hair. What is the point of that shyt? I'd love to be bald down there.

The reason we have pubic hair was to protect early man(and probably nasty folks up until about 100 years ago)from lice, other bugs and STD’s.

Gonna correct this real quick; healthy adults never died in their 30s. Life expectancy was brought down throughout history by high child mortality but people who lived to see adulthood and died of natural causes would likely live into their 50s - 60s. We also know of many figures throughout history that lived into their 80s - 90s.

So if it's just because of age, people would have been balding forever.

I'm referring to the caveman days though

Same thing goes. There was never a time where people who made it past childhood would regularly die at 30.

In fact, it’s often thought that people were healthier pre-civilization than after.

Check out the table under Variation over time: Life expectancy - Wikipedia

You can see that during the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras (cavemen days), if you reached 15 you would likely live another 30+ years. That’s pretty consistent until the 1900s when child mortality drops significantly.

Since it increases the area of skin exposed to sunlight, male pattern baldness may have evolved to increase the production of vitamin D.

This doesn't make sense and I don't see the end game towards positive production.

Genetics

I heard that eating outside on a regular basis or near an open window can stop, reverse, or even prevent male pattern baldness altogether. Something to do with fresh air and energy consumption and testosterone. Works even better if the food itself is freshly made

do it breh, next time you eat a hot meal, get some fresh air, open that window (and let me in)

That is a consequence of short lifespans in the past, where people had kids in their teens and died in their 30s. Baldness never became a variable in reproduction because people died before it happened

what scientific document did you get this from

 

[humminbird]

this scares me
