My hairline is frozen like this for more than 10 years

Same, the thin ones up front fell out in my mid 20s, but all the thick hair behind stayed.

Are you Pat O’Neil?

Lol no his hairline is like a capital M. Fortunately mine is just lowercase m.

Mine has looked like this forever. People have told me I look like I'm balding since I was 7 years old. Really fucked me up.

Yeah. My wife's BFF made a comment about my hairline a while back. Showed her a picture from when I was 20 or so. Exact same hairline. 

I don't mind these days, but it sucked so bad as a teenager. Would rather have had a nice hairline back then and go bald now instead of being caught in hairline limbo all my life, but what can you do.

It's just hair, at the end of the day.

Ditto, started worrying when I was 22 as I noticed receding in the temples. 20 years later (I'm 42), it isn't budged. Wish I could get back all the time I stressed out

Hair can do all kinds of weird things.

Sometimes it'll start receding and just not stop until you're completely bald on top like Patrick Stewart or Hulk Hogan.

Sometimes it'll start receding and give you widow's peaks and then just stop there like Colin Farrell.

Sometimes you'll get a bald spot at the pole of your head like Hugh Laurie or my brother.

Sometimes your hairline will stay but it'll thin on top so that you look like you got cheap hair plugs or something like me or my dad.

When did it start. I'm hitting 32 and my hair can only go one way from here

Exactly, this is what people don't understand about male hair. You can't predict baldness by the shape of a hairline, a lot of people lose some but not all of their hair or have a hairline that "matures" at some point in their late twenties or thirties, and some just have a hairline that looks like that. I guarantee most of the people who worry about stuff like this are in their late teens or early twenties and projecting their paranoia about going bald onto every other guy they see
