[GASlick]

Don't see what all the negativity is about.  You look perfectly normal to me.  Don't look a thing like an ax murderer.

[OzPete]

Very natural (and tough UFC) bald look for  ya brutha...

SLY suits ya bro!

[MagmaBabe]

are there two of these threads, or is it just me??

Hey Stem... you got a twin bro or summit?!! 

[stemikger]

No Magmababe it's not a twin.  I made the typical newbie mistake of creating two threads.

I'm amazed I figured out the whole photobucket thing.

[barberette]

Its ok Stemikger... I did the same thing once before, i just thought it was a blonde thang

[Southworth14]

You look GREAT sly.  You have the perfect shaped head for it and I am sure that the girts will get over it soon.   I went from very long hair in college, then to a crew and now to sly.  I doubt that I will ever go back.  Enjoy.

No Blonde jokes from this guy Barberette, my wife is blonde this week, last week she was red and the week before that. . .  Hey wait a minute, I never once questioned her about changing so much, but yet I shave the head and you would think World War III broke out.  Go Figure!!!

Thanks Southworth.  I appreciate the comment about my head, my wife doesen't share the same view though.  Oh well, can't win them all.

I'm not sure I'll make the month Andre, my wife had another melt down about it today.  Oh by the way, did I mention that she HATES IT!!!! 

[barberette]

Sorry your wife hates it bro, mot much I can do about that, if she only knew how hot you sly guys were to so many of us babes out here she might change her mind, a lil competition never hurt I guess.. no disrespect intended...

Thanks B.  Unfortunately my wife isn't in that camp.

On a postive note, her sisters and her mom liked it when they saw me yesterday.  Her best friend, who is a gay female really LOVES it when I sent her a pic yesterday.  She even phoned my wife telling her how cool it looks and I actually look better without the hair.  So I do have some people pulling for me, but she just is not happy with the look and I know when I visit my mom, she will not be happy.   

P.S.  You guys and girls are the coolest (non-judgmental) people I have ever met on the net.  Glad I found the site.

[barberette]

Thanks Stem, and I agree, this site has some really kool folks on it, non-judgemental , respectful, yet honest and supportive.
I have alot of fun on here, its like having lots of kool friends without having to worry about boundaries. Not many places on the net where I feel this safe and welcomed. 
And glad to hear that your other friends like your new look!

Sounds like you've got some people in your corner who can "work" on your wife and hopefully get her into a frame of mind where she isn't so upset about this.  At least that way you won't feel like you're living in a war zone.

Awe, that sucks dude that you have so much negative responses....I personally think it looks natural on you...looks cool to me.  In fact, I wish I looked that cool with a shaved head.  I can relate to the negative comments....my mother in law thinks it adds 10 years to me, my son thinks I look like a monster, a coworked asked why I keep shaving it because I have a cone head (and this dude has got worse male pattern baldness than me! WTF!)  It looks like you don' t have any thinning going on from your before PIC that I saw, so that's a plus if you decide to grow it back...I decide to grow it back and OMG, my Male Pattern Baldness/Thinning on top look godaweful....I've really only had one person at work tell me it looks great on me....so I know, positive feedback really helps and negative feedback really is a bummer.  I have shaved again because I was frustrated with the thinning look on top and just couldn't stand it any longer, but here I am today, SLY and I just wish I had a full thick head of hair....I desperately need positive reactions in person...I can count on you guys here at SBG's but I think you guys maybe a little BIAS since your purpose here is to support SLY and all it's benefits....I just wish I could get comfortable with myself...cuz I really like not having to worry if my hair is out of place!   and I don't have much of a choice when it comes to growing back my hair....basically I'm growing back my MPB....and we know that just looks like crap.  Anyways, I feel for you man!  Give it the 30 days if you can...sometimes it's just easier to please the wife and not hear the nagging....I know all about that.

Welcome stemikger!!!  Glad you found us.  Part of the SLY attitude is not caring what others think, even your spouse, family or co-workers.  That new attitude will come during the test period, that is the reason for the 30 day period.  They may even come around too.  You went through a pretty dramatic change.  Give everyone some time.

You look great by the way.
