I was watching some TV with my sister a couple of weeks ago and when we saw a man who had a receding hairline she instantly said: What's he doing keeping that thing? He should have it all off so he looks better!"
Now, this might not be anything new to you guys but this is coming from someone who a few years ago would have said "that poor man should get a hair transplant!".
I'd like to think I had something to do with her change of heart on the matter
So to the fellas who are discouraged, take heart, a lot of people who might have viewed a slick head as something to be gawked at (negatively) may now view it as something that people should do!
Great story Phil and thanks for sharing that !!

Just goes to show ya, you never know the influence you may have on someone who was originally against or scared of shaving the noggin. I have no doubt that it was your own shaved dome that changed her mind.....keep up with the good witness !!
Nice observation Phil..
it is funny how most people views have changed on MPB!

BTW...cool sis!
To coin a phrase of my wife's...... "splendiferous"
I suppose it's like any other trend or fashion; the first time you see it, it looks a bit strange, but then it starts catching on, and eventually you get used to looking at it and even start liking it a little bit.
Even though both of my sisters and my mom weren't too enthusiastic when I took the plunge, they accepted it as my decision and eventually cannot even imagine me with hair these days.
To those whose family might be opposed to their choice, don't lose hope they may yet change. You never know

Most of the time they do come around.
Nice story Phil! Good to see you back!
Phil, I know you are correct. I see it with some of my naysayers.
