I have been a serial lurker for a few weeks, and decided to finally sign up on the forum.
I started going bald in college, did the combover thing back in the 80's, kept a short buzz for about the last ten years, and took the plunge about a year ago.
I guess the buzzcut softened the shock, because going "sly" wasn't really that big a change. I got very few reactions when I did it.
The one big change I have noticed is that the "bald jokes" (really put-downs and snide comments, if you ask me...) have almost completely stopped.
This place looks like it could be fun...

Zzaapp, lurk no more, my friend. This place can be fun, with a lot of good people... just be warned, it can become as much of a habit as shaving your head. Welcome, and contribute often!

Welcome Zzaapp, forget lurking and jump right in. Sorry you had to put up with "bald jokes". Have been lucky so far and not been subjected to them.

Welcome, Glad you're here and joined all of the rest of us SBG's.
The jokes have stopped because of the confidence your Slyness shows to everyone. The bad combovers probably deserved some jokes.
I'm looking forward to hearing more from you. WELCOME!!!

welcome to the combover-free zone...a great gang here...you probably have some great advice to share.

Hi Zzaapp....you finally found your way home! Welcome to being Sly. Funny...my Dad ditched his combover too with a buzzcut and the jokes stopped for him too. Combovers just make you a target.
Keep it sly.

welcome to the site my friend O0

Thank you all for the warm welcome.
The combover days are over 20 years past. My wonderful wife did my first buzzcut many years ago, and has kept it cut "near sly" for all that time. I don't know why that last 1/16th of an inch seemed like such a big difference. It really turned out not to be.
I have never let my hair (or lack of it) define who I am. I am a father, a husband, an engineer. I can be all those things with or without hair.
I enjoy being bald, but to me, it isn't that big a thing. I don't see this forum as therapy as much as it is comraderie.
