Hi, I stumbled onto SBG a month ago when searching for ways to get the mpb monkey off my back. I still had a decent amount of hair, but had been self-concious for years. Usually, in order to feel comfortable in public, I would wear a baseball cap. If at work or other situations where a hat was not allowed, I would try to work some magic with styling tricks and hope for no wind, rain, or anyone to touch my hair. That was such an exhausting way to live. Recently, on a trip to New Orleans, a friend of mine snapped a picture of me from behind. I could not believe how clearly visible the bald patch on the top of my head had become. I guess I hadn't seen that angle in a while. I was mortified and had to do something. Luckily, I always do my research and figured out that drugs, surgery, and fake alternatives were no solution.
So, I found this site and began reading the Forums. I instantly began to feel a sense of hope. Confidence was growing already, I could begin to live and not hold back due to hair constrictions. Go from shy to sly. So I did it last Friday night. It was easier than I expected (thanks to SBG advice), and over the past 4 days I've really enjoyed the look, feel, cool breeze, and convenience. I wish I would have found SBG sooner.
I genuinely want to thank all of you SBG regulars for your words of encouragement on the Forums, I've (lurked) read tons of them and it led me to take action. I would list the 20-30 of you on here, but you know who you are. All reactions from friends and family have been positive so far, and I even got my first headrub from a female today! I go back to work in 2 days, and I have a good feeling.

Welcome to the sly side of life!! It's great to hear that the guys here were able to help you out and that you've had such positive reactions (not that we expected any different). We look forward to getting to know you!!

Welcome to the brotherhood mate! I am glad to hear that we were able to help you on your path to becoming sly. Make sure you give the 30 day challenge a crack, but it sounds like you might already be sly4life! Especially seeing you are already getting attention from the ladies O0

Welcome,man! Doesn't it feel good to have that MPB monkey off your back (as you so poetically said)? I totally agree. It bothered me for a long time before I finally took action and immediately felt better. Enjoy the look and the new found confidence!

So, KG, by my reckoning (that's "Frontierspeak") it's been about three weeks since you settled into the role of Extraordinary Sly Guy.
Can you even remember what it was like dealing with caps and styling and weather reports? (I can picture it now: "Breaking News, Action 9 Storm Center Alert - High Winds forecast - all MPBs with hair disguises should seek protection!")
Care to share your perspective of the last three weeks? Does time seem irrelevant? For me, although it was just a couple of weeks it seemed like I'd been sly "forever."
Any new revelations? Anything unexpected? And ... what I always look for in life ... anything which made you laugh because it was so unexpected?

FrontierGuy, I’ve never been one to self-promote, but if you are going to present me with a badge of honor such as Extraordinary Sly Guy I will certainly wear it with pride. As you can see, I’ve added it to my custom title. Thank you.
As for the past 3 weeks, they have been some of the most confident and comfortable of my life, and its only going to get better from here. I still experience brain lapses from time to time when I walk outside and get a sense of dread about the wind for a brief second, but then remember I’m free from all that now. It is really living when you can focus on friends and what is going on, instead of rushing to get out of the weather and planning your restroom stop to rearrange your sad hair and mask any embarrassing follies that have befallen it. It’s hilarious when I remember before, riding in the car with someone and thinking “For gods sake, don’t roll down the window!!!”
The sky is the limit when you can live free of fear. That goes for all areas of life. As for the next few months, Fall is my favorite season and I can’t wait to truly enjoy it this year. To walk outside in the perfect weather, and actually enjoy the breeze all around. To face no more self-imposed limits. I will have the confidence to get into a relationship or two and just see where they go (sly can adapt to all surroundings). I will experience strange new worlds, and boldly go where many sly men have gone before. 8)

And, fair is fair, I've assimilated some of your text (bolded above) to become my signature. Thanks for that.
