Receding hairline, conflict avoider.

Thick head of hair (like his Dad and my son!!).

A smooth negotiator (not sure if that's a conflict avoider)

MF - I say my H is v. conflict avoidant. However, that has been a problem over the last year or so more than anything else - during MLC. Before he didn't like conflict (who does?) but he was not "avoidant".  Funny, though, he diagnosed himself as conflict avoidant, told his psychologist giving some examples to prove it (I could do that, and I am not conflict avoidant) and so, not surprisingly, she concurred with his own self diagnoses. Sometimes (and no offense to anyone in that profession) but therapists are obtuse.

Mine is a definite conflict avoider.  Big, big accomodator.
After BD - he kept saying that his entire life he took the path of least resistance and did what everyone else wanted him to do.....

Very thin hair and extremely receding hairline.  He is also a conflict avoider.

Started to go bald in his mid twenties, like his father.     

I thought there was a gene controlling this rather than hormones.   

Conflict avoider.

This is indeed interesting.

My wife has extremely thin hair that has been gray for 30 years(dyed brown).
So I could never know how gray it was.

She is on hair medication to help thicken her hair, that has been helping her, plus rogaine.

Somehow I think this is part of middle age more than mid life crisis.
I think that their might be faulty logic here, but just my take on this.

[trusting]

I think they are midlife things that can fuel the crisis since they realize that they are no longer so young anymore, so not necessarily the crisis itself but definitely play a role.

I think this is a very reasonable thought.  My xH started saying things like, "you're going to leave me when I go completely bald" and "I'm getting fat"..........he never was "fat" in my opinion.  But then that's when all the working out/exercise would start and worrying about his hair thinning and trying different hair products.  Now that I look back at it this started a year or two before BD. It sure messes with their minds!

LMM, my H used to like his slightly graying hair when it started a few years ago but for a few months prior to BD he started dying his hair and for the first half of the MLC kept it dyed.  He stopped for many months but then has again once or twice fairly recently, so who knows.  I personally like the gray.

When the hair coloring started is when my H also started working out like a mad man, losing weight, buying "young", tight clothes, etc.  He hasn't been to the gym in very well over a year (maybe year and a half at least or more)  and those tight clothes don't fit anymore.   He for the most part dresses more like the way he used to now.
