I went sly at the end of November, so needless to say I have been shocking everyone back home with the change seeing as how I'm home for Christmas break. The reactions have been great, the people who I expected to love it (my mother, my buddy who shaves his head) do love it, and the people I expected to be hesitant about it (grandparents, girlfriend) are pretty welcoming of it as well. The grandparents have really warmed up to it (although they harp on me keeping warm a little more) and my girlfriend is growing fonder of it by the day.
Good story though, the first few days she was still getting used to it, she really warmed up to it when we were in a bar, and a really good looking girl told me that guys who shave their heads are hot, then rubbed my head in front, needless to say, that got my girlfriend appreciating it a little more than she did before we walked into the bar.
So guys, if your girl hasn't warmed up to, just prey on all women's instinctive nature of jealousy, and they'll likely change their tune!
congrats. you are lucky in this regard.

Nice going. Great to hear your positive reactions. I'm sure alot of the reasons for the positive feedback is your confidence and the way you wear it. Keep it up, bro. If you're like me, you'll like it more and more every day.
