going back to hair??

[sbiswas979]

For all you guys trying to determine whether you want the sly look or hair---
What do the ladies think?

Gurr,  I just typed out this big rant and just lost it somehow because I got logged out...gurr!  oh well, you all didn't want to read paragraphs of me being angry and cursing anyways...and it helped to get it out anyways even though none of you got to read it.   The gist of my rant was the lack of positive feedback I get...I'm glad I am getting truthful reactions and comments, but they just aren't the positive ones I was hoping for...at least people are being honest, but it doesn't change the fact that the negative comments just make me angry and hurt..the truth can sometimes suck, but we want the hard truth.  The comment I got from one of ladies at work today was "So, what's up with the shave head?"  Uh, hello, I've been shaving it for months now...and this is the first comment to come out of your mouth about it now?  Mainly I was hurt, and that caused me to be angry that I don't look like a stud bald.  How f'ed up is that, I'm such a pussy.  I mean, I've gotten some positive comments from guyz but to be all honest, it's the comments from the ladies that I pay attention too....Am I alone in that?  C'mon guyz, can we agree that all we really want is approval from hot woman like Magmababe?   Of course now, any positive comments she might make, I may think she is just making because I mentioned her in this post...but I may just have to ignore that.   ha!  But yeah, it's mainly the women's comments that I need to hear and I posted the question on whether or not I should still shave on my MYSPACE page and I got 3 comments, 1 from my wife that asks basically why shave when you only have a little thinning and one from a friend that says not everyone can pull off completely bald heads and suggested I grow stubble and another that I don't remember, but the point is, none of the responses were positive and that is the reality I live with...knowing that most people don't think I look great with a shaven head....that reality sucks and it makes me angry that I don't look as great as I'd like to look bald.  I may have to grow it back for myself...I don't think my thinning looked too bad and it's becoming more clear that everyone thinks I looked better with hair  I don't think I look too bad either way but I guess I'm no Kelly Slater bald...  Here are some pics of what I looked like in October/November of 2007....so if I can get past that phase of growing back the hair where is is so obviously thin on top, I should be able to get back to what my hair looked like in these pics...

I think you look better shaved man, just one dude's opinion

[Razor X]

And you think before was better?   

Why do you care so much about what the women you work with think?  Is their approval really that important to you?  What do you think about the way THEY look -- and would they care if they knew?

What about all the people who may have thought your hair looked bad before but were too polite to say anything?  My point is, not everybody is going to like the way you look, sound, dress, wear your hair, etc, etc.  You just can't please everybody.  If you don't like having a shaved head, that's one thing.  But don't base your decision on what other people think.

For what it's worth, you look much younger without the hair.

K-Man: bald is better for you.

A wise bald man!! 

It's what you think that matters Kman.  If you were more comfortable with the daily dose of trying to fix thinning hair by one method or another, then go for it.  But remember how it was before.  People tend to think the grass is always greener...

I think it looks good clean shaven.  For me, it's not just the look, but the confidence that comes with it.

Perfect words bro!

Kman..if you want to go back to messin' with thinning hair...not really liking it, but having it because some others say THEY don't like it...go for it..

but in all honesty, you look younger, cleaner,more well grommed and confident with the slick bald head...

but that's just THIS bald by choice guy's opinion!

I haven't logged into here for awhile it seems...thanks for the replies guys...I can always count on some positive statements from here...Although I don't know if any of you would tell somebody on here that they looked like a freak bald and should grow their hair back...I honestly have only met one person myself that had a head that looked like the grandpa on The Simpsons...and I thought that bald looked bad on him, but I would never tell him that.  Plus he doesn't really have much options, he's pretty much lost it all to MPB....God, I am feeling so shallow right now talking about this...I hate that, the shallow side of me...anyways, thanks for the support and the positive words....I'm going to let it grow for awhile and see how long I can go...I'm glad that I have spent the last 4-5 months shaving my head with a razor and with a blade....now I know what it's like and how I look, so I won't be nervous if the time comes to shave it again and I've finally opened up to this forum that I had been only observing before and now contribute as well....I'm sure I would feel better about shaving my head, if I could get a handle on my eating and lack of exercise that has happened this last year due to stress with my personal life....I'm dealing with alot of crap I brought onto myself this past year and that probably isn't helping my self-image.  Enough of this though...just want to say thanks to all you bald bros!
