Title: Greetings from Brazil
Post by: mezenga on March 12, 2007, 03:49:05 PM
Hi gents,

So, i'm Gabriel, 25 years old, computer geek and rock climber from Brazil. I just discovered you yesterday late at night, and i woke up with a new thing in mind: i'm gonna shave today! So i did it!  O:O  I kinda bypassed that stage of doubt " should i shave or should not?" and now i just steped a problem! Should i keep this new look or not? as you can see, the "front" view of my brand-new sly scalp is quite okay, BUT, from the side, i look like a hybrid of a monkey and an ancient guy from Egypt...   ;D  so, i ask you... should i keep this or not?   Be honest!! ( i'm okay with critics! )

Thanks in advance, and nice to be part of this brotherhood,  O0

Gab

ps: that broken nose comes from a life of serious martial arts studies.. now i'm on Krav Magá..

Gab,

Welcome to Sly Bald Guys!!  Keep it - it looks really good!  I'm sure the benefits in Martial Arts will be worth it alone.

 O0 Ahoy, Mazenga/Gabriel. You've stumbled on the right site; hope you stay and that we can get to know you. The bald look is PERFECT for you: don't let it grow back! Sly complements your facial features and, if you're still in the martial arts, it provides a distinct advantage. Glad you bypassed the agonized decision-making phase,.Welcome aboard, Professor Melon

Hey Gabriel, welcome to SBG. We are glad you found us, I agree with Tyler, I think you should keep youe new sly look. Like other people on this site have said before, you're probably the only one that will notice, what you described as " looking like a hybrid of a monkey and an ancient guy from egypt" Nobody else will notice.

Welcome Gab.  I can only echo what the others have said, the sly look is great on you.  Definitely keep it. O0

It would be a tragedy to ever allow hair to grow upon your head again.  The look suits you.

Welcome to the forum.

If you're in martial arts, nothing looks tougher or more intimidatig than a guy with a bald head. You already know he's serious and strictly about business...

By the way I have to say I love Brazil.  Me and my boys went 4 times last year alone.  We call it 'Bizarro World' because it's such a great time compared to our regular lives here in the States.  If any of you sly guys haven't been I highly recommend you visit before you get married and/or die.  (some might say it's the same thing- not me of course)

Las gatinhas estan muito gostosas- Tudo bem!

No problem Gab, you certainly are not the first person to tell me I'm funny. However, I say looks aren't everything. Have a good day, and I look forward to more of your posts.

Pigpen, hope you didn't get me wrong... i meant you look like someone who's talkactive, easygoin' person, with sense of humor, the kinda one that would be nice to hangout for a couple beers... indeed looks aren't everything, but a photo tells more than a thousand words..  ( and nothing, at the same time..) I, for example, look serious on that pic, but believe me, i just look serious, there's a clown hidden behind that face... and also, in that pic i`m kind wearing a "void expression" mask..lol.. and it was kinda intentional.. since i wanted my new look evaluated by the "experts" ;)

have a good day, sir! ;)

Looks like I'm a bit late on the welcoming party, but welcome anyhow. When I got a week into it is when I really started liking the sly. Def give it time. How are you liking krav maga? Wish there was somewhere local I could study it at. Heard good things. O0
