I shaved my head almost 25 years ago, and I think I lived in my own little world. When I did it I was almost brought up on charges. After that I just went on with my life and lived it. I never noticed if anybody looked at me weird or not. I never knew if women thought of me as strange, for I was never at a loss for female companionship. I just lived my life. I have had some guys say thing in passing to me about it, and I let them know what I thought. After all they gave me their feelings on it, didnt they? Sometimes it ended in us laughing together, and some times it didnt end so nice, regretfully.
Since I have become a member of Sly Bald Guys, My eyes have come alive and I have become aware of looks that people give me. I still don't care, but I do notice. I have also noticed more women looking at me than ever before. In a good way, not the "crazy man who is going to kill me look". I have talked to more men and women about me shaving me head in the last month than I have in the 24 years I have been doing it.
I think it's me that is opening up more to the shaved head experience. I still don't care what people think of it, and I won't change, but I feel more aware of my BALDNESS than before.............What about you guys.....does anyone feel the same? I would like to hear from everyone, especially from the guys that have been SLY for a while. -

I definately understand! It's been just over 3 months since going Sly, and it seems like my entire world has changed for the best. Most people are very opened minded and give very kind input. The others can STEP OFF!
In a million years, I would'nt have ever guessed, that the solution to my own self esteem problem would be answered by shaving my head. Hence, LESS IS MORE!
It's not like I'm a stud, but there have been a few very attractive ladies give me the ol "smile" that would've never even noticed me when I wore the jump school cut.

Slyinglide,
I think you just pointed out the meaning of Sly. As stated you have shaven for years but just became aware of your baldness, its a beautiful thing! Sounds like you have regained your confidence in yourself.
I have only been shaving for about 1 1/2 years and I think the look is not as controversial now as it has been in the past decade, so I have not had any real unpleasant experiences.
There will always be someone who makes comments that you may not care for, but these are usually people who still have their eyes shut to the world and are not worth the time.
I took my son to Six Flags a few weeks ago and had a younger Japanese guy bow to me, and the 2 japanese girls and guy with him gigled. So I smiled and walked over and bowed 3 times and said very quickly in a japanese tone "Hiya mea pluga youra girla" at each bow. They just continued to gigle and my son said OMG dad, I can't believe you just did that.
When you feel good about yourself, no one can bring you down.
Thats a major part of this site and I'm glad you found it as well!
