Title: Shaved it
Post by: Ty2Sly on April 10, 2016, 12:08:43 AM: Tyler here,

I decided to work with mother nature and become more aerodynamic at 23. I've gotten some mixed feedback so far. Fortunately, my lady is all about it and I'm feeling somewhat more confident.
On the other hand...
My roommates have called me skinhead and say I look like I just escaped from prison in a teasing way. And in general, my opinion is that a lot of people are kind of cruel to the bald/balding folks.
Anyways, it is what it is now. Good to be apart of the group and feel the breeze.

Released from the prison of hair. They just wish they could do the same. Give them 30 days. Then see what they are saying, if anything.

Welcome.

Exactly, people will always have something to say whether good or bad. For the last thousand years or so my beard has been a strange combo of white and black. (Thanks Dad and Grandpa). I've been called skunk, panda, raccoon, schnauzer you name it. As long as you are confident in yourself the names and jokes are really quite meaningless.

In reality ... they are jealous that you have the (balls) will power to pull off the sly look and really deep down inside be glad you did it !

They tease you because they are jealous. You'll be creative and work that bald head into many different situations and just shine in glory !

LOL

Post by: J_Scott on April 17, 2016, 04:22:51 PM: Welcome it looks great! My friends gave me lots of guff when I first started shaving my dome, definitely heard my share of "skinhead" or "Hey Lex Luthor!". They'll get over it and move on to something else, the important thing is you like it.

Post by: amatlock2778 on April 18, 2016, 08:12:40 AM: You rock the bald look. As the others have said, the only important thing is that you like it, which it seems you do, so keep it up, and stay bald for good.
