Advantage-fountain of youth

[Mike]

I was at work yesterday and came out of the back room and saw the back of a bald head going down an aisle (spelling?). The guy looked like he was maybe 25, he had a nice tan and overall looked young. When I asked him if he needed help he turned around and he was in his 40's. After I helped him I told him that he looked younger and he told me he gets that alot. It seems that being sly can take years off of the way you look.

that's what i also noticed. specially if men had a fringe before.
all the time my hair went shorter, some people said i would look younger.

This would have been a better story if the guy had actually told you his age, instead of you being able to tell when you saw his face.

Sorry about that razor, I have always been bad at telling stories and jokes, I can take something funny and make it horrible just by trying to re-tell it lol.

No, you didn't make it horrible ... I'm just razzing you a bit.

Hey, with Mike involved I expected there to be Public Displays of Headrubbing involved.

Lol, I am pretty much a head nudist when it comes to head rubs, everyone wants to do it but I'm the only one brave enough to.

I've gotten that a lot too, about it making me look younger.  And I can see it too, on other guys.

[IRONHORSE]

Agreed with all of the above... I can't think of a single example I've ever seen of someone looking older when they went sly...

[Mr.Gleam]

People thought I looked 10 years younger even before the full shave but now I have young (I mean really young) girls flirting and being nice to me. No complaints here.

This aspect of looking/feeling younger has a strong appeal for me.

Is there a secondary experience that happens as well, in which you start taking better care of your diet, health, nutrition, skin care routine, as a result of your shaved head?

I keep thining that so much of me will be exposed:) that I will want to take the utmost care and lead with bright eyes and a well-cared for body.

It is like I have been reading, people's morning/evening save routine has alomost a spiritual/meditative quality for many. And so, I might hypothesize that the body becomes more of a temple.

Or, I am totally wrong!:)

Hope you all are enjoying a beautiful Saturday.

Funny that this topic has come back up.  This past week I came across and old friend from College and high school that I hadn't seen since college and sent him a friend request.

When he accepted the friend request, he sent me an email and mentioned that I had less hair that the last time that he had seen me, but he also comment on how young I looked.
This guy is the exact same age as I am and when I pulled up his facebook profile and saw his pic with a full head of gray hair and it was obvious how much younger getting rid of the gray can make you look.

I had the same thing, people tell me i look anywhere from 7 to 12 years younger, i was born in 1976, i get carded in bars unless the people know me. good thing i got my driver''s license renewal form in the mail, btw, iam bald in my drivers license photo.

I turned 45 last week.  This week I was officiating a playoff game and was assigned a partner with whom I had never officiated.  We started talking about officiating and I told him I had been a ref for 25 years.  He said how old are you.  I told him 45.  He said he thought I was like 33.  Definitely made me feel good.
