Not all guys look good with a shaved head

I went to the doctor today to get a physical and the doctor's assistant weighs me and then measure's my height. I then cracked a joke that I didn't get that extra half inch because I don't have any hair. She laughs and the proceeds to tell me that I'm lucky because I have a good shaped head and that not all guys look good with a shaved head. I tried to assure her that I have yet to see a dude that didn't look good with a shaved head but she kept arguing and saying that I was wrong. I think I visually started getting angry

because I could tell that she tried to change the subject. So, then I had to bust out the fact that I run a website with several hundred men with shaved heads and I cannot remember seeing a guy that looked bad with a shaved head. She decided not to respond to that and then proceeded to take my blood pressure. Well, it was a little higher than normal...I wonder why? About 10 min later the doc said that she wanted to take my BP again because it seemed a little high. It had dropped from 130/74 to 124/70...LOL! Think I was pissed?
Anyways, I hate when people say that not all guys look good with a shaved head. Sure, maybe not 100%, but it's pretty damn high, like 99.99% that do.

Technically she's probably correct because there's an exception to every rule. But the guys who don't look good with shaved heads are few and far between indeed.

While hearing people make such comments is aggravating does it really matter in the long run? I mean, being sly is about the confidence and freedom it gives YOU not someone else. Many of us have faced negative comments from family and friends after going sly but maintain that lifestyle anyway. We feel that we look better and that is all that matters.

I'm going to side with the nurse only because she probably has a hair fettish and can't accept bald as attractive.
I've updated my Match.com photo to reflect my sly look. I expect there will be women who say to themselves "I can't do bald".

My uncle tried shaving his head a few years back and honestly, he didn't look that great. His head was knotty looking and not smooth at all.

The "Shavee" and his view is paramount, as Paul points out. But objectively, I can't think of any guy w/ MPB whose appearance isn't improved w/ the Sly look. I mean he might not be "handsome" as the popular "good looking" movie star to begin w/, but he's going to look neater, cleaner and generally more attractive Sly than w/ a dying or dead mop. Even those w/ the "meat head" problem--bumpy ridges all over the scalp, look better if the "meat head" issue is apparent w/ the remnants of the mop. But if HE feels better and self-satisfied Sly, then for him that's the only way.

In my years of being bald, I've run into more than a few people with shaved heads that are definitely not suited to shaving... it's been the head shape itself (lopsided, pointy, bumpy, etc).
However, most of the time the opposite is true...

Not all guys look good with hair either.
You really cant put "all guys" into any generalization other than "have a penis" or "lack a Vagina".

Sometimes, that is debateable though...

Generalizations, generally are not true, in general.
However, if you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig.
