Reactions I have gotten

I’m glad to see this forum more active during the past few days. I enjoy the thoughts and opinions of fellow bald guys. My conversations and reading threads on here have encouraged me to continue to keep my head shaved and realize that I’m not alone in being a Sly Bald Guy!

It is nice to open up the website and see new posts. I still open it every day, but sometimes several days pass between posts. I still see a lot of shaved heads. So I can only assume the since the shaving is more common now, fewer guys need to do searching on the web before they shave.

I had shoulder length hair, and he was always bugging me to get a crew cut. He passed in 1975, but a few years ago I visited his grave with my head freshly shaved, and I asked him if he liked my haircut now. My mom passed before she saw me shaved, but I know she would have hated it.

My dad had the same haircut from the years I knew him. He had moderately curly hair so he had his cut big but not long, meaning it didn't trail down his neck and it would puff out over his ears. Likewise he never understood why I always liked super short haircuts, and of course my mom hates it and periodically reminds me while simultaneously telling me that she never comments on it.

That reminds me, when I was about 12yo and my dad took me to the barbershop and made me get a short crew cut. The Beatles were just getting popular as was long hair. Now, I was always somewhat opinionated and smart mouthed. My dad was receding in the front with a bald spot on the crown, and I told him "you don't want me to have long hair because you're going bald". Well, that didn't go over too good, but he didn't smack me!

Yeah, back then a man going bald was a big deal but now I see partially bald guys all over the place. They don't seem to care much anymore.
