Discussions About Being Bald > Reactions to being Bald
Have you noticed people being wary / cautious of you as a sly guy?

I live in quite a conservative/right wing/ part of England, where a lot of people I know regularly comment on my shaved/buzzed head. I think to some older people it's still seen as thuggish.
I just turn on the smile :)

npsbg, I think I see the problem. Looking at your avatar (I assume that is you), I notice you are wearing sunglasses, so I suspect that your eyes are sensitive to light. This means that you probably have spent many years squinting in bright-light conditions, and have developed permanent ridges in your forehead between, and just above, your eyes, giving the impression that you are constantly scowling. If you compare your picture to those of others in this thread, you will see that they do not have those ridges. Combine that with a mouth whose corners naturally turn downward, and a somewhat rugged look to the skull area in general, and you have a person who looks quite intimidating. >:( I know because I have exactly the same problem. In my case it is partially concealed by my glasses, so a possible solution might be to look for sunglasses which hide the ridges. Also, tweaking the facial hair to hide the downward-turning corners of the mouth might help as well.

I would suggest to give them a big bright smile, np, it should make all the difference. If you looked the way you do in your avatar, then I can understand the reaction. ;)

Exactly the right thing to do.
