hmm, the mean age might be more significant than average since there are many experienced members here.

Older than dirt.

Model M's were so common when I was first using computers at work, no one noticed them particularly.  Other than the noise.

Too old to explore space.

Too young to explore the earth.

The one that I really "felt" was 50, and the last year and a half has been tough. I will be 63 in 3 weeks.

The only thing I "felt" at 27 was my bald spot, when it got sunburned for the first time, and I didn't even know that it was there.

Haha. I've been balding since about 25; I knew it was coming based upon genetics. Tomaterhead, as I like to call it, is the worst. All the aloe in the world and it still just makes you feel so hot and annoyed. Then it peels and your head looks like you have the worst/largest dandruff in the world for a week.

Male baldness patterns are established in the mid-late-20s.

How the patterns progress is not necessarily the same. I have 2 younger brothers with the same pattern as mine, but I have retained considerably more of my hair than they have of theirs.

I've been showing signs of balding since I was 20, perhaps earlier. Hoping to the be the baldest guy at my 10 year high school reunion. Will be tough competition, though.
