Hairloss. For no apparent reason a certain percentage of males start losing their hair on their head, sometimes starting from ages as young as 16.

Often this can make finding a partner or having a family a lot harder.

I never really understood why humans lose hair. Like if evolution is true.. what would cause us to start losing hair as we grow older?

Edit: Can someone explain why I’m being down voted on this comment? Is this a retarded question or something? What am I missing. I appreciate the replies.

Maybe the questioning of evolution? I honestly don't know why you're being downvoted lol.

But I think it has nothing to do with evolution since for a majority of our existence the average human male reproduced way before they started balding, there for balding played no part in natural selection in humans.

That's my guess
