Discussions About Being Bald > Advantages and Disadvantages to being Bald
Non-sly moments
SBG:
It's probably because of the frustration of not having the choice. (I know :'( )
It's easy to go like "wooweee! I'm slick & sly and if I get tired of this I grow a full bush again" for those people it's a true fashion statement that they support 100% no doubt, for real baldies/those on the path to baldness however, it's more like a compromise you have to find yourself in. Sort of an acceptance of that which you didn't always wanted at first to be happy with yourself again.
Honestly I'd prefer having long hair to being bald, maybe some of you think that's crazy.. it's not like I don't really like being sly at times but it's just that I'd liked to have gotten a choice in the matter. :-\
(you hearing me supreme being?! Next incarnation better, you hear! :x! >:D )

SBG, like your bold honesty!! Have to admit, there are moments, not very often though, that I wish I could grow a head of thick hair.
Slick & Sly is better than Lame & Thinning!!
Wait a second I'm actually glad to be the real bald me. No second thoughts about this.

That's not crazy. Everyone's got a personal preference. Maybe it's a little easier to accept the earlier you shave it off, so that it's more of a choice. Then again, some guys here were 30 or 40+ when they went sly. I've had long hair before. My hair is just so thin, curly, and unmanageable. I've got a high hairline with good coverage, but I like that I don't care either way whether it goes in ten or twenty years. I've honestly never looked or felt better. For me, it's not just a fashion statement, it's a mindset and an attitude change. And not just for me, but for society, which has accepted buzz cuts and shaved heads.
Razor X:
I'm finding that a good cure for those "I want hair" moments is to pull out some photos of yourself that were taken shortly before you shaved it all off. Seeing the thinning, recession, and bald spots helps you take off the rose-colored glasses and remember what your hair would really be like and why you chose to get rid of it.
The comparison should not be a full head of hair vs. bald, because that full head of hair is no longer an option and thus no longer matters. The comparison is the hair you would have if you didn't shave vs. a completely bald head. And the completely bald head wins every time.
Visiting this board is also a good confidence-booster when you feel you need it.

Hey there, bald brothers!
I'm new on this forum but not a bald newbie.
I will have been sly for 25 years within the next couple of weeks and every time I've grown (some) hair, it just reminded me why I went bald!
