Younger or Older??
« on: May 03, 2009, 03:38:44 PM »
Which do you hear most often when talking about the sly look.
1.  "It makes you look so much younger??
2.  "It makes you look so much older??

Having a slick bald head made people think I am younger...my beard makes me look my age...

People say I look older. Before going Sly I looked like I was maybe 15 according to most. Since going Sly people have told me I look like I am in my mid 20's. On most older guys it makes them look younger, on younger guys it tends to make them look younger. It almost tends to nuetralize age from mid 20's to mid 30's no matter the real age.

 Andre, I agree, you looked younger when you were Sly.

Neither. I'd been buzzing my head for about 25 years prior to going sly so hardly anyone noticed a difference. I do generally get comments that I don't look my age even with the salt-n-pepper Van Dyck.

Without question, my experience has been that it makes me look younger.  That's very vain and pleasant experience--and I frankly like it.  But reality says that at my age, when the Big Bang still rings in my ears, I'll take any younger comment I can get.  I like it, I'm keeping it.

I'm just curious; how often does this topic come up with you guys?  It's rare that anyone asks me my age; possibly because most of the people who know me already know how old I am.  It's just not something that people seem to comment on. For that matter, my shaved head is not a frequent topic of conversation, either.  I really don't know if people think it makes me look older or younger.

No, you would look about 10 years older if you let the horseshoe grow out.

Hey Razor,

I don't often get asked my age but I do often run into old friends, co-workers etc. that have not seen me totallly sly. After I telll them why I do it etc. they often comment about it making me younger and/or younger. I have been told that it makes me look younger from countless people, even my wife!!

I am rarely taken for being in my fifties, so I guess that means others think I look younger.
