Title: yes or no
Post by: juniorwilhelm on October 18, 2007, 03:06:34 PM: heres the deal, I am going on a cruise in October of 08, and as soon as we started booking and payed the deposit, I knew it was coming my wife asked "can you pretty please grow ur hair back for the cruise, I saw some pics of you from the last one and it was so cute"
well my first instinct was to say no cause i told her after the last cruise that it was coming off and staying off, and it has,
but do you think it might be a good to grow it back just for a coulple months for the cruise. cause she doesn't hate it but she sure doesn't love it

I don't think you'll find too many guys here that will encourage you to grow it back. But, you and your wife are a couple and it may be best to compromise with her for the long haul. Does she know how much you like the look?

Post by: warhawk on October 18, 2007, 05:14:28 PM: junior.....one thing about being married is that "C" word, us married guys call compromise.
however.....i would definitely express 2 your wifey that u really luv your new look & that u really want 2 keep it. thankfully....my wifey supports & encourages my new look. heck she helps shave my noggin' 75% of the time. O0

anyways...hope your wife will support your new look, instead of discourage it. keep us posted on your upcoming decision. hopefully.....u can keep it sly. O0

Post by: BALDANDRE on October 18, 2007, 05:36:23 PM: I think since she doesn't "mind" it ...why?

Does she think people looking at you on the cruise will think of you differently? Doesn't make sense for the request to just be fore a vacation..

The only time I a did a grow back was for our wedding, and that was MY choice...two months into the 'growout" my wife looked at me at dinner and said "hair" just isn't YOU...I think you should shave it! Next day i was billard ball smooth and satyed like that for every BIG day since..

why would I grow it...it's me....

isn't being bald, YOU...would you ask her to cut it for a trip or special event?

Keep it slick and smooth brutha...does she love you... or the hair ... the hair you "used" to have?

I think a little fuzz is a good compromise.

Post by: Jdogs Better Half on October 18, 2007, 07:21:46 PM: If you grow it back "this one time", she will prob ask Oh we have a wedding we are invited to coming up, can you grow it back again, you did for the cruise......there will always be something :*)) :*)) :*))

I would leave it as it is, especially if she knows it makes you happy!!

Hope Jdoggy isn't reading this, in-case I ever ask him to grow his back!!!

Post by: shakf on October 19, 2007, 04:53:12 AM: I don't think my wife would ask me to grow it back now, she is very comfortable with the SLY look now. Although my cousin is getting married in Feb sometime. Maybe one of my relatives might ask me then. My main concern is to shift the gut and the love handles before then to be honest.

Post by: -Doug- on October 19, 2007, 06:47:39 AM: I'd say to keep it. If you do it this time, next time your wife will say "Well, you did it for the cruise..."

The sly look is part of who you are.

J/k :D But dont grow it back or she will have you for ever then....

Post by: tomgallagher on October 19, 2007, 11:50:42 AM: You two have to sit down and you have to impress upon her that this is not a fad or a whim, this is the new you and she is going to have to get comfortable with it. Or like Jesse's Better Half said she will request it for every occasion.

Post by: SLYinKC on October 19, 2007, 07:33:02 PM: That's a hard one. You've always gotta compromise in marriage. I'd see how bad she wants you to do it and let her know about your feelings. If she really feels stronly about it, this might be the time to bargain for something that you want. hehehe >:D

Post by: Timmay on October 19, 2007, 07:43:39 PM: If you grow it back bro....it means she has teh apron strings too tight. And if she gets mad at you for not doing it..like the others said...she in love with you or the hair? My wife sometimes wishes I would grow it back but ...she doesnt make an issue of it. She just tells me and others..that I am gonna do what I wanna do anyways..no one can make you grow it back. Sometimes I wish there was a drug that would just kill all cells on my head that grow hair.......( yes PBURKE...we all know I dont have any other cells up there..other than hair cells....so HUSH!) anyways..back to what I was saying, If you like it bro..keep it...Tyler is right...you arent going to find many guys in here who is going to support you in growing it back. Its a brotherhood. Do what you think you need to do, but if you give in on growin gi tback
Title: Re: yes or no
Post by: Timmay on October 19, 2007, 07:49:35 PM: sorry didnt get to finish that...but if you decide to grow it back...where will the request stop. Before long you will be growing it out all of the time.
