I have been a serial lurker for a few weeks, and decided to finally sign up on the forum.I started going bald in college, did the combover thing back in the 80's, kept a short buzz for about the last ten years, and took the plunge about a year ago.I guess the buzzcut softened the shock, because going "sly" wasn't really that big a change. I got very few reactions when I did it.The one big change I have noticed is that the "bald jokes" (really put-downs and snide comments, if you ask me...) have almost completely stopped.This place looks like it could be fun...
