Maybe: Baldness is genetic but usually several genes are involved, from both sides of the family. By your early twenties, you'll know how much chest hair & thick beard you're naturally blessed with -- hairier guys get more male pattern baldness sooner, just look around. Bald or not, a guy looking good is 95% about fitness; if you're going bald, grow some neat facial hair, work out, and embrace who you R.
