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

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.

Yeah, but what if OP wants a conversation?

OoooOOooo, so it's dangerous to have a conversation with you?

What is there to converse about? Some people seem to confuse asklemmy with Google.

Well, keep reading. Conversation did ensue. You basically write a summery of the important bits of what would be in the search (reminder Google alternatives exist), and then it's OP's turn to ask follow up questions, make a joke, counter with their own information, share an idea if one occurs to them, or just say thank you.

Androgens, evolution, the state of medicine and the the difference between head and body follicles have all been in immediate replies, and then there were spin-off conversations (honestly including this one, although an attempt was made to prevent it).
