Advantage-young guys look older
« on: May 15, 2009, 05:16:13 PM »
I have experienced another advantage to being Sly. Many people have said that I look like I am in my early-mid twenties when I have a smooth head and alittle stubble on my face. Since being here in California wine country I decided to try something. Since I look older according to some I figured why not try wine tasting. The first place I walked into with my friends (in their 30's) the guy placed 3 glasses out and gave us each a think for 5 tastings. After my 3rd sample I asked if he needed to see my ID and he said I looked older than 21 so he wouldnt need to see it. In all the places I have been to they have tons of signs all over saying they need to see ID if you look too close to 21 but I have been to 4 places now and havent had to show ID. Its awesome and the wine is amazing, if you are ever in the Temecula area go to Wilsons winery and try the almond champagne. Now this is my first time trying alcohol of any type and its pretty nice. The funny thing is is there was a guy that was like 22 or 23 but he had hair so they had to ID him, made me laugh.

 So all of you young Sly guys want to try wine sampling in southern California I say go for it.

The wineries in Temecula are fun to visit and do wine tastings. Wilson Creek's Almond Champagne is great!  O0.

Your experience was fun to hear about. If you work northward to Anaheim, you'll have to stop off and say 'Hi' to Mickey and Minnie (at Disneyland).

When I had hair and would shave my face people would think I was like 14 or so, it got to be kind of annoying. Now its cool to look older by a couple years for now. Soon I will be wishing I looked younger but for now its fun.

Yeah, that's one of the coolest things about the sly look. It makes young men look older and older men look younger!! That's a real advantage of being bald!!

Advantage: Old guys look younger.

People have a hard time determining my age in slyness. Whereas I would have had gray hair on the sides and back and very little, if any, hair on top now there is just a shiny dome. My goatee is silver/white, kinda like Big Poppa Pump of wrestling fame, so it is not really a good indicator of how old I am.

it definitely makes me look older especially when i have a full beard or some good stubble going on my face

When I first started my second job and I had been sly for maybe half a few months or so lots of the people I worked with thought I was in my mid to late twenties when I was just 19.
Its good to be bald my friends :)

I find it to be the exact opposite for me. I look 10 years younger when I'm shaved. I look in my 30s when I have hair.

That's a big positive for me though.

That or you have a hot mom. Either one is kind of a positive.
