A member asked:

Is a low hairline indicative of baldness later in life?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Low hairline is supposedly hair 2.5 inches or less from the eyebrows; it probably means nothing. In a man, the extent of chest / back hair development in the 20s correlates quite well with how fast he gets male pattern baldness. Many women like it, especially now that so many very masculine guys, especially fighters, shave their heads.
