Why do many men loose their hair with age, but not woman?

I have a theory:

One of the symptoms of zinc deficiency is hair loss. When a man gets
orgasm, he looses about 2 mg. So, hairless men maybe have had too much sex
or they have been masturbating too much, or both, and at the same time they
have
been eating too little zinc. :)

Another contributing factor to hair loss, both men and woman, could be the
consumtion of too much untreated grains, since phytic acid binds zinc.

I'm just speculating.
