Influencing someone else to be SLY
« on: June 07, 2007, 08:36:16 AM »
I ran into a friend last night that I had seen once before since going SLY.  This guy is a little older that me and has quite a bit more hair loss than I did.  I had not said anything to him about his hair when I saw him before but he had remark about how he liked my new cut.  I quickly noticed last night that he had buzzed it down to at least a 1 or below.  I said "I like the haircut".   To which he replied "Thanks, I couldn't bring myself to shaving quite yet."

I told him thats alright, it took me awhile, too.  Has anyone else unknowingly influenced others to the SLY way?

Interesting you bring that up KC.  My next door neighbor never removes his ball cap because his MPB has progressed so and he has the worst possible combover when he does remove it.  Last night we were sitting there and he began to question me about how often I shave the dome.  When I said daily he thought that might be a lot of work.  I said no, use a special razor and products and it goes quick.  I then mentioned enjoying the freedom of not worrying about my hair and recommended this site.   He said nothing but began nodding.  Maybe the sly confidence is having an effect on him and the seed is planted.  We'll see.

Most of my friends are still hanging tough with their hairlines, so I haven't had any influence. Though, all have commented on the sly look being a good fit for me.

I was telling my wife's friend's husband about the site and what I do to shave my head.  A couple weeks later his wife called mine and said I influenced her husband to shave his head and it made her cry.  I didn't know if I should feel bad or laugh because I had the influence to get this guy to shave.  I chose the latter.   :*))

I'm focusing on the fact you made a woman cry.
Geez Ty, I thought you were a good guy.

Geez Tyler ... When you make a woman cry, you are then suppose to grovel yourself out of it .... Oh well, that wisdom will come when you turn 30!

As you guys know, I just went sly this past Friday.  A college buddy who works at the courthouse in my home town saw me today for the first time.  He is a black guy.  He was thrilled with my look.  He keeps his hair knocked down pretty close.  After seeing my slick dome, he said he was going home to lay a blade to his.  This sly thing is cool.

That's pretty cool.  I would love to the be reason that someone else decided to go sly.
