My wife is ok with the sly look - but she absolutely hates the beard - not sure what else I can do to make myself look even less attractive to her.
This is by no means a sexist remark - but I find there are FAR more women than men who are hung up on appearances - I get negative comments about my head/beard several times a week from women I know. -

I would have to agree with you Keeper.
You being such a beard enthusiast I am surprised to hear your wife hates it. -

Keep in mind that some of our changes were dramatic. It can be shocking and some initial comments may be negative. I also noticed that most people and spouses come around to embrace the SLY look. Hopefully, everyone else learns to keep their comments to themselves.

My wife prefers me with hair, but she seldom says anything about my slyness anymore and when she does, she's usually teasing me. I think it just took her some time to get used to it. It is a dramatic difference. I also think she respects me for just sticking with my decision to be bald. We've been married for 25 years, so for my wife, the change was pretty jarring at first. She knows I love being sly, so she's being great about it. There are more important things than hair to get worked-up over.

My wife liked the way it looked immediately, but it was almost two weeks before she would touch it. Now she likes to rub it after my shower (and I like her to rub it)

Here's what you do...Get a coin...tell her "Head's i win..Tails you loose"...then flip it either way you win!!
Just kidding. My wife likes me either way she married me when I had a fulllllllllll head of hair and she's still here today. Your wife will probably get used to it but if it is a real bad source of friction then reevaluate your choice. -

If the wife is hot looking go with her wishes, if ordinary shave it, nothing to loose

Welcome Blasto.
I had the same situation the first time I went sly. After a couple months I gave in and grew my hair back but I hated it. This go-around, I sat the lovely Mrs. Pate down and explained to her how I felt and that as much as I respected her opinion, the decision was mine and I had decided to go back to being sly.
It did take her a little time to adjust but now she has accepted the fact that I'm staying sly till I die!
You can't make others like it but the decision isn't theirs to make!
