I was out on Sat. with my wife and friend at a bar, having a great time. I came across another bald guy there and said "hey, nice haircut, best one I have seen all evening".

The guy went off on me about how he hated it and how he had been ripped off by loosing his hair at 23, etc.

Seriously one of the most bitter bald guys I have ever met. I was floored.

I tried to talk to him and tell him about this site but he was just in a world of self loathing I guess.... I was really amazed at what a crappy attitude the guy had. Even some of the guys with hair were saying "dude, it loos good man, dont be so hungup on it".

I was really amazed this dude was the exact opposite of those I have met here. I really wished I could have summoned my SBG buds to the scene to assist me in my efforts to set this guys straight.   

Sounds to me like he is someone who only recently started shaving and isn't used to it yet.  Probably didn't really want to do it but someone talked him into giving it a try.  Maybe his 30-day trial period isn't over yet, and perhaps by the time it is, he will "get it".

I knew I would get ribbed about that one....lol

[JDog]

See..THAT'S what I'm talkin' about..

I always feel just having a shaved head does not make some one "sly" in my book...

They've got to believe it and carry themselves that way!

Very well said mate. I couldnt agree more.

This guy will sooner or later hopefully accept his hairloss and realize it is a blessing not a curse.

[Rob]

sometimes I think you either got 'it' or you aint. and I think it's pretty certain that guy aint!

You can't win 'em all!

[warhawk]

marz.....wow....can't believe that u got that reaction.  i've never had that reaction with the meeting of the sly.  it's always a positive reaction.  i totally agree with baldandre in that a slick noggin' does not make u sly. imo.. it's a combo of smoooth noggin' and most importantly attitude.  in other words....that idiot couldn't b a member of this sly fraternity.

Hey, if you are an anti-social moron, shaving your head isn't going to change anything.

So true.

Since going sly, or should I say shaving my head, I have noticed many many more guys with shaved heads. It really has become very popular and I don't know if it's a good thing. You know what can happen when people jump on the bandwagon.
I will see quite a few fellows in my travels and my daily routine. Especially now being at the airport.
I am usually quick to smile and nod, but I've noticed that a lot of them will not even acknowledge.
I truly believe there is a difference in just being bald(shaved) and being "sly". Not everyone is going to have the same demeanor and we have to realize that. We all have different personalities. Like anything else, it becomes a fad, more so now with the exploding popularity of ultimate fighting and the like.
I put out a demeanor of being a likeable guy, (at least I hope I do, lol.) and I am quick to smile and say hello. If someone has a problem with it, then that's their issue. I want to see what's going to happen five years down the road with these newly shaved folks.
I think for many of them the thirty day period is about all they will see through, if they even get that far.
 
As far as the dude at the bar, Marz you tried once, now let him sit and stew in his misery. Only he can stand up and make the change.

Its all about attitude (or lack thereof)

You got that right Brother.

[Timmay]

i think newyawka has it down right

[Rob]

newyawka: that is so true.  I don't think you can simply shave your head to be Sly.  Its more about fashion with a lot of the guys you see about with shaved heads, rather than a way of life, like for most of us.

The attitude is what counts, and most Sly guys seem to have the attitude: confidence, maybe a little cockiness as we said in another thread, but ultimately likeable guys who know what they want.  Just shaving your head doesnt mean you'll be all that.

Obviously the guy in the bar didnt have what it takes.

[warhawk]

this goes 2 show u that idiots/a$zholes come in different colors, shapes, & sizes.  they also come with hair or no hair and in this case this azzhole has no hair & is far from being a SLY GUY.

All this proves is what is on the inside counts way more than how somebody looks.  You both shave your heads, but one has no clue what it means to treat others correctly, but you do get it.

Andre as usual you hit it on the head.(no pun intended)

You have to walk the walk to be Sly.

WELL J, MARS, TIMMJ, WARHAWK, ANDRE We all know people that it doesnt matter what you do or give them , they wouldnt be happy ! Ya know the ones if its curly the straighten it , if its STRAIGHT they curl it if its dark the lighten it if its light they DARKEN IT  !  A FAMOUS INDIAN (not from cleveland) once said "PALEFACE no make sense! take clear water put over fire add beans make dark ,put milk make light , put sugar make sweet , put lemon make sour, ADD ice make cold, WHITE man never happy with what god's give him "
