Wow, this thread is almost 2 years old and still going strong, now why could that be I wonder...
Could it be...
Because it's 100% TRUE?
A few years ago when my sister was getting married, she asked me two things: To be in the wedding party, and to grow some hair for the wedding.
I did both. Which one do you think I regret to this day?
When I looked at the pictures afterwards I was APPALLED at how HORRIBLE I looked with hair! You know, really thin on top, thicker on the sides, it was horrible! And there were a LOT of attractive, single women at the reception but I thought I looked like a total chump so my confidence was not at its usual stellar spot, & women kept LOOKING AT MY DAMN HEAD!
I don't bear any resentment towards my sis, I mean after all it WAS her wedding, but when I show people those pictures and they look at me now, which look do you think they like better, hmm?
I think I might be the first man in history that wants to go back and Photoshop hair OUT of pictures!
I've been told by some bald-loving women the exact thing that socctty said, that men who shave their heads just seem to automatically exude an air of confidence that the gelling, moussing, constantly primping dare I say it- DOUCHEBAGS just simply don't have. I'm sure Professor Melon will agree, having a Histrionic Personality Disorder does not make one confident, it just makes you a jerk.
But I digress.
I've also been told by a number of women that when they're in the presence of a man that shaves his head, they just feel... SAFE.
One girl explained it like this: "It's like you have this big, bald teddy bear around that's lots of fun to be with, but under all that cuddliness there's strength. There's this tough-guy edge to it that isn't just sexy, its comforting & reassuring, like you have your own guardian angel and nobody can hurt you..."
Are we talking ego boost or WHAT? O:O
Yep, this is a thread that ain't going anywhere any time soon.

About four years ago I attended a wedding of some family friends, most of whom I hadn't seen since I started shaving. I was only a guest and nobody asked me to grow my hair back, but I felt self-conscious and let it grow out for 5 or 6 days. I was beyond being able to grow back much on top at that point. When I got to the wedding, I got at least a half-dozen "you're getting thin on top" type comments from the 50 and 60-something crowd, which probably wouldn't have happened if I'd shown up with a fully shaved dome. To make matters worse, there were a couple of other guys with shaved heads, and I felt like a total dork for not being one of them.
Since that time, I've never appeared in public with stubble on my dome. I've occasionally skipped a shave on a Saturday and I've gone almost a week a few times when I've been really sick and unable to get out of bed, but I just won't leave the house until the dome is smooth.

Thanks for that razor x ... I am attending an old friend's wedding in May where I will run into a lot of guys who haven't seen me since college. I was tempted growing it back a little but your post convinced me not to. I never thought about the fact that there will most likely be other guys with shaved heads which would make me look like a complete dork. Also, it comes down to the fact that there is nothing worse than not being yourself...
D.A.L.U.I.:
When my oldest daughter was getting married a little over a year ago, she asked for "hair." I was working a Hurricane Ike client in Houston, so for 6 days I didn't shave. When I came home for the weekend, the wedding was about a month away, it really looked bad, if showed the two little "islands" in front and the strip between the ears, but it also showed clearly after 6 days that the top was thin, and that the islands weren't even equal in size, grief. I asked her if it was what she wanted, and told her I wasn't happy with it at all. She said, "Shave it." In a few minutes I was smooth again. Wife, hysterical, but everyone else was okay with it. Then two of my son-in-law's groomsment were sly, and the husband of one of my daughter's friends, whose marriage my daughter had been in, had gone sly too. There were about six sly's total at the reception. No more than one day has ever passed since w/o a smooth clean shave for the day.
From what you guys are saying, I really stepped over a snake.
