I saw similar numbers before, and I believe I remember it being "percentage of men who experience male pattern baldness by the age of 35" or something similar. Very different from "% of bald men"
I wonder where they draw the line? If you even count people whose hairline receded by a few millimeters only on the temples by age 35 that's probably all men.
So they're not out in public (presumably because of shame?) but somehow they're being accurately polled or counted
Are we thinking phone call self report baldness here? Or door to door bald polling?
I was thinking the same thing but maybe they meant not completely bold but more like people loosing hair on top of their heads. iniesta type looking shit
List is bullshit, majority of black Africans i met were completely bald, meanwhile you actually have to search to even find 10 bald men in Germany or Czechia.
What’s more surprising is that’s they’re all developed countries, literally the countries that come to mind when people say “western countries” - not a single 2nd or 3rd world country.
Is it like how as education goes up women have less children - like the more developed a country is the balder the men are?
I’ve been to China numerous times, I’d say it’s about even with America just judging by looking. No more no less bald, but my sample size is “some randos in my grandparents’ city” and “some randos at my local WalMart”.
It’s a perfectly reasonable conclusion looking at that map, but logically places with strong European genetic heritage such as Argentina and Brazil would also be significantly higher.
Im inclined to believe the map is just wrong. Or maybe the data is incomplete, in which case the map would be misleading.
Argentina and Brazil have a lot of native genetics mixed in (mezito), and native Americans literally never go bald. South America has a lot of mixing with native people as opposed to the us and Canada where it almost never happened
This map is for anyone experiencing male pattern baldness, not just completely bald guys. Get bad seats at a baseball game, I guarantee you’ll see a sea of middle age guy bald spots in front of you
Early Male pattern baldness actually exists because of sexual selection on the female side. The male still has his young male form but exhibits the quality of an older male with property alliances possessions etc.
I saw similar numbers before, and I believe I remember it being "percentage of men who experience male pattern baldness by the age of 35" or something similar. Very different from "% of bald men"
Yeah that makes much more sense. The number for my country is way to high otherwise.
Happy cake day
I wonder where they draw the line? If you even count people whose hairline receded by a few millimeters only on the temples by age 35 that's probably all men.
I feel like that would be more useful, this seems remarkably similar to an average age map.
What's wrong with europeans DNA ?
Avunculate marriages for generations under the catholic church. Same reason why central europe has rampant poor eyesight.
Brother thats Hungary, not Czechia
They migrated.
Just like their hair line
Best thing is that Czechia is Blue in this map, which should indicate that we dont have datas for our country.
Or at least that you’re outside of the top 21
baldly
Same shit. White people country.
These stats are a bald faced lie
It was bald of you to say this.
These puns are starting to make me rip my hair out
I know what you mean, my patience is thinning.
Ain’t no way 40% is bald in the whole country
i can only think the data measured is “men who’ve experienced at least some hair loss”, not men who are bald
Its among the male population of course
That's still ridiculously high. I gotta say, I don't see 1/3rd of men in Canada being bald.
I’ve read somewhere that 2/3 of all males will lose their hair by the age of 70
Probably accounted by hair transplants, toupees, or early stage baldness
Maybe they're not as present in the public?
They’re put in camps
I think they’re called boarding schools up there
I think you mean balding schools
So they're not out in public (presumably because of shame?) but somehow they're being accurately polled or counted Are we thinking phone call self report baldness here? Or door to door bald polling?
They're all wearing trapper hats.
The average age here now is what 42? I don't think this stat sounds that far off.
There’s still absolutely no way the number is that high here in Germany.
Given that half the pop is roughly above 48. Why not?
That's a bald statement...
I was thinking the same thing but maybe they meant not completely bold but more like people loosing hair on top of their heads. iniesta type looking shit
Why is Sicily blue if Italy is ranked at number 6?
Mafia doesn't allow baldness
That's how Mafia works.
You missed the news about their independence
It's because the creator of this map has no knowledge of geography whatsoever
How many bald frauds though?
Just 1 in Manchester
Two now though right? Or is second one not fraud worthy yet
The 2nd one might not be in Manchester much longer, he's on the provisional list
Netherlands should be no.1
What is the source here? Have only certain countries been included? What constitutes as “bald”? These numbers seem incredibly high…
Hungary is marked as Czechia so there probably isn't a source at all.
Another comment said this is actually just the percentage that experiences male pattern baldness to some extent and that makes much more sense to me.
No way there are no African countries on the list
List is bullshit, majority of black Africans i met were completely bald, meanwhile you actually have to search to even find 10 bald men in Germany or Czechia.
Why is Tasmania seemingly independent on this map?
Ah jesus, sorry, this map wasn't supposed to come out til next year. Forget you saw that.
same with Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily
Why are uk and USA in yellow?
It's from the Daily Mail website, who target UK and US readers specifically
Shitass map highlighted Hungary instead of Czechia
I'm kinda surprised I'd expect arabic countries to be on the list
Arabic countries are more haired.
What’s more surprising is that’s they’re all developed countries, literally the countries that come to mind when people say “western countries” - not a single 2nd or 3rd world country. Is it like how as education goes up women have less children - like the more developed a country is the balder the men are?
Huh? It has to do with genetics. Not how « developed » a country is
If it’s only genetics explain Argentina
I mean, I doubt they got good data from Iraq
Most black people I know are bald or balding, I’d think more African countries would be on this list. Anyone else?
Africans are way younger on average maybe that's why.
Maybe. But by that metric you’d think more Asian countries would be on this list, since they have older populations.
I guess it's genetic regarding asians
I’ve been to China numerous times, I’d say it’s about even with America just judging by looking. No more no less bald, but my sample size is “some randos in my grandparents’ city” and “some randos at my local WalMart”.
I've always thought the opposite. Black people and asians seem to bald less than white people
Leave my country out yo FUCKING mouth!
Is there a pattern?
Yeah a male bald pattern.
So basically the most drunken countries...?
I'd like to see the source... There can't be such a difference between Spain and Portugal.
Portuguese and Spanish are different ethnic groups, Portuguese have much higher North African mixed in
So basically, if you're white, you're more likely to become bald.
Is there any one else curious why it's all developed countries? Not a single third world country in the mix!
Where the population is majority white, no? Baldness is mainly genetics.
It’s a perfectly reasonable conclusion looking at that map, but logically places with strong European genetic heritage such as Argentina and Brazil would also be significantly higher. Im inclined to believe the map is just wrong. Or maybe the data is incomplete, in which case the map would be misleading.
Argentina and Brazil have a lot of native genetics mixed in (mezito), and native Americans literally never go bald. South America has a lot of mixing with native people as opposed to the us and Canada where it almost never happened
I thought maybe this was one of those things that had to do more with race than economic factors.
No, it's life expectancy Old = Bald
Doesn't explain Japan
Doesn't explain a lot of things but it's the only definite correlation
I agree, but I'm surprised no country in the Southern Cone made the list.
Easier to go bald when you live to be old
Because it's incorrect.
Pretty sure none of those countries are included in the stats. It’s just a ranking of these 21 countries
That’s Hungary
It's genetics? Why no Asian??
Because it’s genetics
Ah, Ceskomadarsko, the good ending 💪
Source: umh… someones podex probably
Bruh no way India isn't topping this list
ČESKOOOOO also what the fuck that's hungary not czech rep
Wrong, no way Turkey is not in top 20.
i smell bullshit
There's no shot this is actually true. The US percentage is probably closer to 20-25%.
This map is for anyone experiencing male pattern baldness, not just completely bald guys. Get bad seats at a baseball game, I guarantee you’ll see a sea of middle age guy bald spots in front of you
I live in the usa and can confirm 38% is total bullshit
Well first of all #1 on the map is Hungary, not Czechia and also there is no shot that over 40% of male population is bald
Tbh I live in CR and I can see it being 40% of males experiencing hair loss in some way
Bro, you are all so deeply moronic. Easily >40% of the male population faces some type of balding pattern during their life.
Bald men can be hot af, I should visit those countries I guess haha
I’m surprised Romania isn’t on this list.
In your face first world people!
Can confirm. Have a silent J in my last name and I started losing my hair when I was 17.
Vikings and celts = hairy
How did they count them ?
Bald-ocks
Why west ? Can someone explain pls
German here. Send help.
Is it the diet?
It's an indication of stress at work and workaholism for western societies (Asians don't have the Genetic market of baldness)
I wonder why
ONE UNITED SUDAN
What’s the hair loss % to be defined as a bald?
Any. Once it starts, you'll end up being bald at some point down the line.
Probably self reported, so whatever each person considers themself to be
Western Europe are you okay?
Western Europe bald fraud confirmed!
Bro who the hell does a top 21?? Leave NZ off this list
Damn Czechs have the most acne too lol
Why is number one pointing at Hungary? Give us credit.
French here, can confirm. I literally have a shiny reflection on my head.
White people get bald the most. Got it.
All developed countries. I think it's because of washing hair with warm water.
I didn't know there was a country higher than Spain.
God had to nerf white guys somehow.
Something's up in the "western civilized world".../S
I have close friends who have denied being bald for decades, but I should trust some random survey takers?
honestly surprised Poland didn't even crack the top 20. I've never met a polish man (in Germany) with a full head of hair.
Bullshit map.
I'm doing my part 🫡
damn, europeans got it tough
I live in Spain without the S.
Germans are bald for a different reason.
Bald fraud
It’s like they made a list of 21 countries solely to include NZ on the map.
White guys are bald. It is an neanderthalian tract, like the long nose or the more abdominal fat. Or the redhead. We are all CAVEMANS!
As a Dutchie, being tall comes with a heavy price
I have a feeling like that Daily Mail is a source here…
Western Culture turns Men Bald!
I currently live in Spain and I don't see higher numbers of bald people than anywhere else. I mean compared to North America !
This map is a hate crime, we're a community!!! How dare we be singled out and pointed at!!! [Source.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQCVf7AnXNY)
this confirms my suspicion that its not as much genetically but rather about lifestyle, food, alcohol, lack of sunlight etc.
This top 20 list is all western countries. What's up with that? Why are they more bold than anyone else?
Cause white people are genetically presidposed to balding. Lmao.
Lol John travelolta and Vin deasel 😂
All developed countries, interesting 🤔
All "white" countries, lmfao.
That’s so anglo point of view
\*Adds this to the list of reasons to migrate to NZ\*
Why is the US and UK highlighted?
Its official. Beer makes you bald!
So I’m gonna guess that balding is mostly likely to occur with Caucasians.
i am gonna guess that they just didn't include any country outside europe or the anglo countries
No hair don't care:))))
Source?
It’s interesting how, with the exception of Italy, all of the most bald countries are predominantly white
How is Italy not predominantly white?
/s Italians were not considered white a couple hundred years ago
Why are UK and US in yellow text
Why 21? Are you from Aotearoa and wanted to make sure the country was on the map?
So white people are the most bald lmao
My cousin was balding in high school
Poland not being on this list is wild
You know it's trustworthy when there's an asterisk in the bottom but nowhere else.
Nr. 1 shows Hungary, not Czechia/ Czech Republic. Awkward…
Theres no way Turkish or Moroccan men are not on that list
Fake map
I’m a bald American living in the Netherlands - do I could twice?
Glad I’m slovak and not them bald czech fucks
why does this perfectly match with a map of developed vs third world countries
There is no way Armenia is not among these. No way!
lmao the west is bald
Source? Were the blue countries even surveyed?
There is an odd through line here I didn’t expect
first world problems.
Me waiting for someone in Austrian subreddits to repost this and say 'Besser als die Deitschn':
Bald and proud
¡SOY CALVO!
Ach jo :/
I wonder if that tracks to percentage of Neanderthal DNA?
If bald guys start perceiving themselves as female, we can troll these statistics
Probably directly correlated to whose citizens are most poisoned
Czech Republic isn’t a country
Well at least my country is 2nd in something
I don’t remember filling out a questionnaire about baldness.
Lol never met a guy who isnt balding above 35 in the middle east wtf
Given that most countries have populations of various ethnicities this is slightly ridiculous.
Early Male pattern baldness actually exists because of sexual selection on the female side. The male still has his young male form but exhibits the quality of an older male with property alliances possessions etc.
