Title: Insulted
Post by: Razor X on August 09, 2007, 09:22:54 PM
My boss told me yesterday that he'd seen a photo of someone in the newspaper who looked exactly like me.   I should have known that it wasn't going to be complimentary because the last time he said something like that it was a photo of the body of Vladimir Lenin when the Russians were trying to decide whether or not to keep it on display in Red Square.   

This time he said I looked just like a columnist for the newspaper and I found this comparison even more offensive than being likened to an 80-year-old corpse.  For starters, the guy looks to be at least 70 years old and he is also overweight.  When I pointed that out, he -- and another co-worker -- said that it would be me in 20 years' time.  To which I replied that I'd slit my wrists if I ever looked like that at any age.  My co-worker (who also once told me I looked just like George Costanza) said, "Just what do you see when you look in the mirror?"   My reply, "Not that!"

It's not that I can't take a joke, but they did not seem to be laughing and really seemed to think that there was a resemblance.  OK - the guy has a shaved head and a goat, but the similarities end there. 

Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.  Here's the offending photo:

Yeh ....  just typical stereotyping!

They might as well have said "all mexican people look the same" or "all black people look the same" or something equally ridiculous!

It's a bit like when people say "yeh but gay people are into....."  as if all gay people are exactly the same & have the same likes & dislikes. 

Or "all Americans are .... "

Not nice is it!

I mean you look completely different from that guy in the pic - different shaped nose, different shaped head, different eyes, different colour beard but obviously all they see is a goatee & a bald head!

Or of course ..... they're just having a bit of fun at your expense? Anyway, says more about them then it does about you .... don't let 'em get to you!  O0

bud no way you look like that ... Iv'e been called and compare to allot also.
specially now that I've got my earing back on. and a tatt in the back of my neck..

It's like I tell them all, some people want to be like others........ and some prefer to be themselves......(like me) and you....

They can say whatever they want...I walk with my head high and my smile on my face...

My name is Daniel Levesque I am who I am.. you don't like it! the door is that way.

I try to stay polite and calm this way it even shows more my confident in me..

sometimes I would feel like kicking some ass but what good an idiot is an idiot.. no ass wiping will change that.

stay calm bud.... keep in mind that there's allot of people like us out there that prefer to be honest to themselves than to please others. By either walk,talk, like others. be yourself BE PROUD of who you are. what you have accomplish in your life span..........

Well, you both are human, caucasian, bald and have a circlebeard (though very different length, color, and style).  But honestly other than those attributes I see no similarity whatsoever.  I also have the same attributes, and don't think I look like that guy either (not that there is anything wrong with him necessarily).  I think you may be working with some major a%&holes who are trying to get to ya.  Just my opinion...

Razor,

I was ready to tell you what a jerk I thought that your boss was when I came across this:

Razor, your boss is a twat! 

I would have spit my coffee out if I had any in my mouth.  Magma, you crack me up... what a perfect comment.  I love your wit; it's good to see you posting again.  It is amazing how some people can be so rude.  Razor, you have a great shaved head, and your boss needs someone to knock on his and see if anyone is home.  Keep it smooth!
Title: Re: Insulted
Post by: jusbnme on August 10, 2007, 08:08:06 PM
Razor, why are you getting so defensive man?  That guy and you look exactly alike.  J/K bro.  Don't let it bother you.  Sounds like your boss has issues of his own if he can't keep from picking at you all the time.  MagmaBabe put it best I think.
Title: Re: Insulted
Post by: JohnMont on August 11, 2007, 02:17:05 PM
I'm with everyone on their sentiments.  I esp. liked Tim's suggestion of bringing in a pic of what you think THIS guy looks like.    I know it's easy to say "blow it off" ... but these kind of putdowns can be very  ... what's the word .. unsettling maybe?   You don't need me to tell you this; but you're a very cool looking guy; the goatee and shaved head suit you to a tee .  Compared with your 'before' pics; you have really hit upon  the look that sets off your natural features to their best advantage.  (don't mean to go overboard, just trying to give you a few strokes, brother).   What did someone say about 'Middle School'?  .. yeah, really; these are ADULTS you're talking about??   Just consider the source  and drop it from your mind (they seem to have the wit, intelligence level and maturity of  the boss, "Michael" (that's his name, right?)  on "The Office." 
Title: Re: Insulted
Post by: Razor X on August 11, 2007, 02:41:52 PM
Thanks.   I know I shouldn't let it get to me, but I take a lot of abuse from these people (and dish out quite a lot back at them, too).  They laugh at me for trying to eat healthy and for all the time and money I've spent trying get fit.  Most of the time it doesn't bother me, but negative comments about my appearance are hard to take. 

Yesterday my boss said to me that if a stranger tried to guess my age, there's no way they would say that I looked 21.   My response was of course not.  21 was a long time ago.  I don't expect people to think I'm 21 and I'm not trying to look 21.  Then he followed that up with, "And you don't look 30, either".  OK, it's been a while since I've been 30, but I have to admit that one hurt a little.  It's not that I'm even trying to look 30.  I'm just trying to look good for the age that I am and maybe shave a couple of years off if I can.  What's so wrong about that?
Title: Re: Insulted
Post by: JohnMont on August 11, 2007, 02:52:15 PM
Who want's to look 21 ?!?!   .. (no offence to you younger guys) .

I know we all get kind of obsessed with "what age we look" ....   But something to consider is that over the last 20 yrs , EVERYBODY looks younger than thier age.    REally ; 50 yr olds generally look forty; 30s look 20 ... its even to the point that 70 looks 60.  I think it has a lot do do not only with healthier food being popular; but also fashion (clothes; hair .. ) esp. for women.   look at pics of the 'typical housewife' of 25 yrs old  in pics from the '50s.  with their tight bobbed hair and housedresses they look, what ? .... 45? ....    Everybody acts younger; dresses younger these days. People take up new careers in their 40s and even 50s.   So; my poiint? ... ( i forget; I've been rambling a bit too long ) .. .  I guess it's  "be yourself; take care of yourself; maximize your quality of life through healthy food, exercise, travel, fun, looking the way YOU want to look;  loving the world and people around you ((( I guess even those loosers who are buggin' you so much))) ...   that's how you stay young.  Or maybe in this obsession with "young"  we just need to substitue the word "Happy"  for "young".

Hey X,

You really shouldn't let this get to you so much. There are always going to be negative people no matter how you look. I am sure when people see me now they may right away think a certain way about me. So what, let them.
You know, and those closest to you know the real deal and that's all that matters. I think John, Danyroo and of course Magma said it all.
Walk with your head high and be yourself.
Always let em see you shine!

X for the 1st time in I don't know how long I felt weird this weekend.

My wife works for optometrist. and one of them was getting married. so of course I dressed for the it.

At church I was fine.. but once we got to the reception afterwards.. well I felt like the outsider. notice some guys my age (preps) most of them doc's, dentists, and optometrists... I felt being looked down on. after a few drinks I was getting loose and didn't bother me.

but when I got up the next day I was and still thinking about it. so I asked my wife.. I said would you prefer me to grow back my hair, to be like all of them.. Her response was I love you and find you attractive the way you are. if I wanted someone like that I would have went for someone like that.

Ok yes it's assuring but...........I never felt like this

I'm trying to get over this one. cause I know what I like and what I want but sh*t.. I just can't explain it.

Hey Dany,
I know exactly how you feel. This weekend we drove to Vegas for a seminar course in ultrasound tech and imaging for my wife. It was a good chance to see peoples reactions, if any.
You know what? most don't even notice. Some do, and it was kind of nice to get some longer looks and smiles from the ladies.  :)

I was on the lookout for fellow slyguys and where we stayed (Riviera) there were quite a few. That felt good. At the pool alone there were about 5-6 of us, and walking through the casino I would pass many more.
So it was a reinforceing time for this freshly sly guy.

It's also very possible that alot of the male guests were envious or felt inferior in confidence to how you were coming across. I definitely felt quite confident this weekend and I believe it shows.
I am sure I read this in some of the other posts also.

Anyway, just let it slide, don't think about it too much and soon you will put it past you.
You look good sly, keep it that way, especially with your wife's approval and encouragement.

Joe

Hey X,
sorry to hear your coworkers and boss are jerks. I have been made "fun" of as well. If it's stuff that happens once in a while, ignore it, don't let it provoke you. I've been made fun of for ridiculous things, and I have seen people that are stupid beyond all reason and insult and make fun of others just because thats how they are. You can find something dumb to say about anyone if you really want, and some people are really good at it. Personally I know that I am good looking and have a lot more success with the ladies etc but I don't have to mention this because I'm not that type of guy that needs to compare himself in order to feel sly. But if that stuff keeps happening you should consider switching your job, because they don't seem to be worth having somebody as you in their team. Good job on the healthy lifestyle, too, keep it up.

 O0Dear Razor: We're just back from vacation. August is the only time full-time academics can travel. Got right on the SBG site and your boss's indivious comparison was the first thread I felt I had to respond to. NO!--you in no way resemble the guy in the photo. Your boss must have very bad vision even to make such a comparison. To wit, your eyes, face shape, coloration, goat shape,  skin tone, age,  and expression are all dissimilar. More troubling, what sort of attitude prompted your boss to tell you such a thing, even if he felt there was objestively some resemblance? As to weight, since I've noticed since last November and am sensitive about this issue, it seems to me you're leaner than 10 months ago. Just be thick-skinned and let it pass. But, if some comic retaliation comes your way, grab it. Missed the forum while we were travelling. Wound on head is disappearing; can shave close without difficulty. As per doctor's orders, keep panama hat on  outdoors to avoid scarring but go blissfully bareheaded when the sun goes down. First summer bald has proved entirely positive. To keep absolutely slick, sometimes shave in the early morning and then again in the late afternoon. No  nostalgia for hair whatsoever. Glad to be back but dread resumption of the semester; there are barely two weeks between the end of summer school and fall term. All best, Professor Melon

I might consider doing that if I had darker hair, but with my coloring, it really doesn't work.  If you're not really close up, you can barely see it.  Shadows  and lighting do strange things and it looks really scruffy from a distance.   Today was the five day mark, so I should be past the really sloppy stage.  It will take a few more days to fill out and for the darker hairs to come in along with the blond ones that are already in place.

Professor, Welcome back!
Glad to hear your head is healing up fine.
It seems I am also waging a war on what I call the "3 o'clock velcro".
I have taken to scraping the dome around this time with just water and a Schick extreme 3 disposable to rid the noggin of a sandpaper like feel.
I don't know if you've caught up yet, but I will be coming up on my first month sly on Sept. 2nd, and I am loving it, no going back.
I agree with you fully on the loss of nostalgia for hair.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your "slick" summer and thanks again for your intelligent and inspiring posts!

Remember though, alot of these people are making fun simply because they lack their own self-confidence. Many are also immature and really don't think that deeply.
Some justify their behavior by taking an attitude of non-chalance, a sort of ignorance.
Age, of course comes into play with the equation, hence; "If I only knew then what I know now"
I think those of us who shave show the epitome of confidence, showing we are doing things our way and be damned with what anyone thinks.   ;)

Razor and Dany I know how you guys feel, I went through alot growing up. I've allways been bigger than everyone around, taller and fatter, so I went through my own hell. I have come to realize that I am me and it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks. You both look very good sly and this world is full of ignorent people that have nothing better to do than put people down just so they make their own miserable life seem better. I now live my life as I choose, and those people are now my favorite targets. Like medic put in his post, the lyric about them being half the man you guys are.

Just keep your heads up and shine the dome at them

Razor X, I too agree that they were trying to yank your chain when they said you looked like Jim Six.  But Booted Bear sure does look like him.  But a younger version.  If Jim Six is in his 60 to 80's, I would have to say that he does look pretty good.  We need some older sly role models anyway!

Last night I was told I look like Chris Daughtry... seriously, this is obviously because I am bald.

Thats like telling every woman with long black hair "You look like Lucy Liu" .

Not that "Daughtry" is a bad looking guy or the woman making the comment was trying to be anything but complimentary, I couldn't hep but feel kinda pigeoned holed.

My boss told me yesterday that he'd seen a photo of someone in the newspaper who looked exactly like me.   I should have known that it wasn't going to be complimentary because the last time he said something like that it was a photo of the body of Vladimir Lenin when the Russians were trying to decide whether or not to keep it on display in Red Square. .. 




Knowing that some time has gone, but let me post some words (sorry for my stumble English): What happened to you we call in Germany "mobbing". It is not a joke, such events on work are never a joke (we are working for the living and not only for pleasure).
The advices of all Bros are correct: Don't worry, be who you are...But you all know that on your own. Maybe you need professional help?

Jim, first off, welcome to Sly Bald Guys and I'm sorry that your first encounter with us is in regard to this topic.

I don't think anything makes you a hideous troll.  I just think people were trying to emphatically consult RazorX without realizing that they were insulting you in the same breath.

It all goes back to what mama always told us - "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."  Especially on a public forum open to the world.

Hey Jim (assuming you  are Jim Six and not one of the membership trying to pull our legs), personally I think you're a great-looking guy. But then, I would!

How about posting a larger pic of yourself?
Title: Re: Insulted
Post by: marshd1000 on October 19, 2007, 02:19:33 PM
Booted, I was thinking the same thing that Jim may not be Jim!

Anyway, Jim, if it is you, there is NOTHING troll like about you.  We need age and experience as part of this board anyway!  But I am wondering, if you are who you say you are, how did you find our humble little group?  Or did someone tip you off about it? 

Also I submitted your name and website to Pete Levin's "Take it From The Head" website, which is dedicated to shaved headed musicians.  So I think you are definately not a troll since I did that!

Hi Jim,

well you know what they say - there's no such thing as bad publicity!  :-\

joking aside though, i don't think it was anything "personal" as such, it's just the idea that one bald man looks much like another that can seem a bit offensive sometimes. Certainly nothing wrong with the way you look - in fact, you seem to be a fine example of a successful sly guy & more power to you for it!   O:O

Anyway, hope you stick around some  O0

I have come to this post rather late and am caught up now.Greetings to Jim (great name)and i can understand how a boss can create such discord at work.If i hear someone call me

"Monopoly Man"
once more,i'll scream!   :Xo! :Xo!

I hear it all day long.But i admit it is in fun and not to be demeaning.

Let it all slide on by!!

Now if i can just own as much money as that bald headed board game fellow,i'll be happier!

I was walking down the street one time and some kids shouted 'how's it going Kojak (Telly Savalas TV show for those who don't know)'.......I was not amused. It was all over the street and I felt very embarrased and annoyed. I wanted to punch one of them. I know that may sound funny and if it was a friend who said it in good humour, I may have laughed but it wasn't.
