the word "bald"
bob:
Bald and how you perceive it is an attitude. Most of us here have decided that bald is a good thing, but many 'out there' look only at the loss not the gain. Is the glass half full or half empty? Bald is a state of becoming, are you ever really there? Does it matter? Where is your self worth? Internal or externally derived?
For me I perceive bald is a positive state in my reality And probably most reading this do the same. I like being real above the synthetic choices.
Thanks for my tirade.
Bob

I like your stand on this one Bob. I couldn't agree more with you. For me personally, I don't really care about anyone else's two cents when it comes to my slyness. I like who I am and the way I look, anybody else who doesn't should get used to it or be movin on. Reminds me of a bumper sticker I used to have on a truck "Freedom of expression: If you don't like it, don't look"

When I look at the big picture and ask myself, "What do I want to accomplish with Sly Bald Guys?" The answer is to change the overall perception of what "bald" means.

Has anyone gone and looked at the Wikipedia definiton for "Bald"? There isn't an entry, just a redirect to the "Baldness". And almost ALL that talks about is androgenic alopecia or 'male pattern baldness'.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldness
The entry is broken down into several sub-catagories incuding Etymology which tells us:
"The term bald derives from the English word balde, which means "Good looking or handsome", or Celtic ball, which means "white patch or blaze", such as on a horse's head."
funnily enough the shortest sub-catagory is called "Embracing Baldness", which is considerably shorter than the "Preventing/Reversing Hairloss" or "Concealing Hairloss" sections.
You might want to check it out, and maybe even do some editing... that's what Wikipedia is for.

I wrote a whole section on embracing baldness and they ended up deleting it. I'm not sure why, I thought it was well writeen. I've seen quite a few people get their stuff deleted off the baldness section. I'm not sure who moderates it, but I think they might be a bit biased.
