Discussions About Being Bald > Advantages and Disadvantages to being Bald
What didn't you expect when you went sly?

I didn't expect how nice it is to swim bald-headed in a pool in summer. And I didn't expect that questions about my shaved head would be a frequent conversation starter. Also, I didn't expect some friends and acquaintances wouldn't recognize me:-)

Honestly, I didn't know what to expect I expected to just to feel awkward and to be self-conscious around people whom you mean and they were all very embracing up my look and all actually encouraged me to continue it I did talk about it a lot though but I think that for me that it was cathartic to talk about it I don't really talk about anymore it's been almost 4 months and I can't find to the point of actually embracing my genetics to the point that my understanding is God Don't Make Junk so was it even matter.

Going SLY was easy. I asked a guy I have know in passing about his shaved haed tonight at out at the pub listening to music...Gave me his routine. Ask him if he remember me with ahir he said no....just bald about 8 weeks. Told him he rocked a shaved head.

Most sly guys will gladly discuss shaving with other baldies. It's the brotherhood, man! Another advantage of living sly.

I like seeing this GREAT post reappear on my timeline because I think what I can add thinking back in my memory banks.
One thing I didn't expect was: the types of gals I dated and were attracted to me seemed to change.
BUT it seemed like glam, hi-maintenance types had lesser interested in me, and the more active athletic types of gals (louder) gravitated to me.
I know that's hard to prove and some may be a function of maturity, but in any case, it's a good trade off in my book.
