I scare kids now!
Brkeatr:
Well, I don't know if it's because I'm older or just look harmless.....I haven't had the same experience nor have I noticed anyone treating me any differently since shaving the dome...
buuckkweet:
That's part of being Sly. As I've said a few times before, people have a rather unique way of reacting to other people's appearance. Most folks are open minded, and accept you for who you are. I love kid's reactions most because they are very curious, and they make sure you know it! O0
DJ_Bald:
Im a pretty big dude so I definitely get some scared looks sometimes....kids are different though. They may say something like.."heyyy..you have no hair !"
I usually say "Really ?!?" and I rub my head in disbelief.
Dome of Steele:
I get it too. Sometimes I throw out a smile, if I'm tired or busy I just go about my business and let em have a look at my beautiful dome.
I just try to smile extra if I see someone of color so that they don't think I'm a skinhead. I think the sly look has been mainstream in the black community for a long time so most people don't even think about the sly look.
As more time goes by since American History X came out then more people won't think twice about it.
PowerOfCheese:
At a whopping 5' 11" and 175lbs I too noticed the same thing. The thing that does work the best is just smile. I have 2 faces, normal face is more like a brood. Lines in the eyebrows, looks serious, I can't help it. Then I smile and my entire face changes.
Just smile dude. They'll either think you're a big teddy bear or criminally insane for smiling for no reason. At least you'll be proactive. In between smiling, every once in a while spin around and yell "WHO YOU CALLIN PSYCHO!???!". The old ladies love it.
