OK, back to the topic...

My wife had just given me a no guard buzz before I left town for a few days to take care of some business. 

She had been cutting my hair for years, and it kept getting shorter and shorter, but never went beyond the shortest setting on the clippers.  I mentioned to her a few times that we should "finish the job", but she said that she didn't think she would like it.  So, on this trip, I got out the razor and gel, got into the shower and shaved my head.  When I told her on the phone about it, she was a little bit miffed, and let me know about it. 

IMHO, my hair had been so short for so long, that taking off the last 1/16th of an inch wasn't that much difference. 

When we got back together a few days later, she looked me up and down, and said, "I guess it doesn't look THAT bad..." 

Since then, her comments have been rather limited.  She likes to rub my head, and she notices and comments when I miss a shave.  If someone else asks, "Why does he shave his head like that?", she replies, "Because he likes to."

In all, it just has not been an issue for her, one way or the other.

I just did it, and "She Who Must Be Obeyed" hated it then, and it will be 10 months this Tuesday, and she still hates it .  Starting next Sunday, I'm letting it grow out at my daughter's request for her wedding in October.  My fondest hope, other than my daughter's happiness, is that the look of the MPB will bring them to their senses, gray hairs and all and they'll relent and let me take it off in a couple of weeks.  Meantime, I'm getting all my hats out and ready.

If YOU want to shave your head, shave YOUR head. Women would rather be around a man who knows what he wants, does it, and doesn't give a sh*t (within reason) what other people think about it than a guy who is constantly seeking permission. It's not like you're taking off to Vegas with the college fund or something.

The only discussion I had with my girlfriend before I did it was a text that said, "I think I'm going to shave my head tonight". She responded very negatively but I did it anyway and she absolutely hated it when she saw it. She said I looked like Lex Luthor. Basically I just asked her what she was going to do about it and she said "learn to love it". Now she says she can't imagine me with hair.

So there you go, really. Either she'll deal with it or she'll leave you and if she's going to leave you because of a haircut then she's probably not the type of person you'd want to spend the rest of your life with anyway.

Think that's a shame, that they can't accept YOU for who YOU are. Hope you come back slick and sly after the wedding.

I would not grow it out even on a special request.
