Actually baldness comes from your mothers side, not fathers. Are any of you mom's brothers bald or any of your grandmother's brothers? 

My dad and grandfather were severly bald by 30. I am 32 and have no signs. On my mothers side all the men have full hair. I should be ok.

Either way, did you like my jokes?


Baldness can come from either side of the family. There is a slightly better chance that you will inherit pattern baldness from your mother's side due to the "baldness gene" being more easily carried through X chromosomes but there is nearly as good a chance that you can get it from your father.

...

With that said, no one in my family is bald and I have no ****ing idea why I know that. I need to stop trolling Wikipedia when I get bored.
