Are you more self-conscience since you were bald?

Way to go, Birdman!
As far as my experience, I was MUCH more self conscience with my hair horseshoe than I am now. Personally, I love it when I'm the only sly guy in the room. 8)

Im the same way really. I mean, I was never really self concious about myself...but like paulie said...when i first shaved it...i wasnt as eager to get out. But I looked at it like..well I cant spend my entire time in the house..so chaulk it up and just do it. I really havent changed in my clothing style or anything....way I see it....people dont like the way I look....well look the other way. Not out there to impress anyone anyways....I have my wife and family at home....and if you judge who yor friends are by looks...and not personalities...then you are on the road to disaster.
Timmayy!

generally I'm a LOT more confident now than I was before I went sly. Occasionally I get young teenagers (about thirteen or fourteen) who look at me like I was from another planet (well, arent we all on a different planet to teenagers anyway!?) but most of the time I feel good and walk tall because I'm pleased with how I look. Clothes seem to look better with a shaved head, too: even casuals look smarter! 8)
ChallengeMe:
A few are thinking self-confident and other self-conscience.
In the crowd of over 600 mostly older women, I was very self-conscience; standing (almost too) straight, chest (what there is of it) out, smiling. Not picking ear wax!
But I am also very self-confident. I know I am being seen and I know I look good; to a lot of older women. And to top it all off, my wife was the prettiest woman there. I am proud of her. And I am proud of the way she holds onto my arm in a crowd like that. I changed my avatar back to show what I mean.
D.A.L.U.I.:
I'm more relaxed, not worrying if the ride in the car w/ the top down has ruined my carefully arranged "do!" And then also more confident. The gym, yup--a lot of guys w/ clean shaved heads, I'm just another one. In other groups, I'm the only "shaved" head, but lots of guys w/ dying mops--that's when I feel, well, superior. Never "uncomfortable" especially now that my spouse has pretty much stopped griping about the dome. I still get lots of compliments :) :) :) :), and that doesn't hurt the confidence factor.
Most significantly, one of the heads of a department recently diagnosed w/ uterine cancer had most of the guys working in her department buzzed down tight, and some are going to finish up w/ the blade. I gave a couple some compliments, etc. Maybe the forum should have a section for those guys and also for ladies who are "sly" as the result of chemo, a member's type place where they could compare notes on the effects w/o the fear of some perverts listening in. Robin Robinson of ABC's Good Morning America is now "sly" for breast cancer treatment as many of you guys may know. They did a piece on her participation as a model w/o the wig she wears for the show in most instances. She was really striking, she's tall, and really looked good. It's something to think about, a little SlyBaldGuys assistance for these courageous women and their great friends who support them.
