Pros and Cons of being bald
Nickd:
Pros: My head has never felt better. I love the look and can't ever imagine having hair again. There are countless other pros, but I'll just leave it like this, shaving my head was the third best decision I have ever made after marring my wife and having a child.
Con's: I have lost the ability to detect when I'm about to smash my head on something. Apparently hair works like whiskers on a cat and gives you an advanced warning before you bump into something.
This can be a pro or a con depending on your situation. For me it's a con because I'm happily married, but the ladies dig it. I've gotten a lot of positive attention, which doesn't sit too well with my wife. Thankfully she's confident in us and me so it hasn't been a problem.

I agree Nick, I have gotten more attention from the ladies since I shaved my head. When you get into my age bracket, I think the gals are not afraid to admit that bald is sexy, and are more likely to approach you. Guess it is a good ice breaker, I have has women come up to me and ask how I get my head so shiny.

I've gotten a lot of attention from the ladies, which is great. I've also gotten a lot of attention from gentlemen, which while not my sexual preference I find VERY flattering ( and they buy me drinks which is A-Okay in my book)

I just experienced a small con. All last week it was warm in the 70's here in Minnesota. That was one on the reasons I shaved last Friday. I just ran an errand and it's cold and windy today. I could really feel the cold air on my bald dome. It was kind of refreshing at first, then it was just plain cold!

I must agree with Reddog , my head does not like the winter. Each year I let my hair go to 1/4" till the warm weather kicks in. No hair on top but it still makes a difference.
