hello fellow chrome domes....i remember my 1st few months on the sly forum. my wifey....would say loudly: "MEL....R U ON THAT BALD WEBSITE, AGAIN. why R U chatting with bald men of all things?". that's what she used 2 say 2 me...until i actually sat down with her and mentioned 2 her that this site is NOT your ordinary internet community. i told her that this community is like a fraternity of brothers who have that "brotherly love" towards me and everyone. i also told her that it is more than just a bald site that it is like hanging out with friends who enjoy some good fellowship. anyways...after that conversation she has never said those words again. O0
SO....how 'bout U? have u been in a similar situation? does your wifey, gf, bf, or significant other understand your "hanging out" at the sly forum. what's your story??

Hi Mel & everyone else
Good topic bro
Well, as some may have noticed I've not posted much of late here on SBG's. It wasn't so much a partner having a go as me thinkng to myself that I was beginning to spend a little too much time on here & needed to get up off my lazy **s & get some stuff done. Consequently I've been rationing my visits to SBG's to a quick look in the mornings & have laid off posting up much. Still enjoy reading all the posts though when I can.
I wanted to post up again though just to let everyone know that I am still around & will try & post up more when I can.
All the best to everyone O0

Thanks for stopping in Shy Sly Guy! It's good to know that you're still checking the site out. I was about to PM you to see if you were doing ok.
-
The Lovely Mrs. Schro finds websites/chat rooms creepy to begin with (all you hear with myspace and facebook is gross pedophile stuff). Plus, she hates the SLY look on me. That all being said, she doesn't really say anything when I'm chatting with y'all.
-
Absolutely NOT. She does not get it at all. Thinks I must be up to something. Hell, she wouldn’t catch me if I was up to something. >:D
She is totally computer illiterate, so that may have something to do with it.
-
I think this must be a wife thing. At first it was a really big deal with my wife. I even got the "I'm being replaced by the computer" line a few times. But she doesn't say to much anymore. I try to make sure that the time I spend on here doesn't interfere with other things.
-
My wife at first thought it was a little weird. She is OK now. All you hear on the news is how people meet online then come up dead somewhere. But, you have to use your judgement. All you guys here are great. If I wasn't comfortable talking with ya'll I certainly wouldn't have told anyone I was coming to Milwaukee next weekend.
Every once in a while my wife will say "How are your bald friends?" She just giggles at me. I told her I made some friends in the snowy north and hopefully would get to meet a couple of them.
-
Man I'm glad I'm not the only one! Since I'm relatively new to the site, the wife is still getting used to the idea.
I explained to her what the site is about and she actually thought it was pretty cool... but then again, so is she.......

Whats the deal with the wives anyways....I have seen a couple of you in here have mentioned and compared this site to other sites where people "Hook Up".....well is there an underlaying factor here...cause this site is all GUYS...Men...lol.
My wife was sorta the same way. She is more at ease with it now..at first she was like well I do not understand how a bunch of guys can get together and talk about shaving. How much shaving are we talking about here ..she asks. I was like OK MOM! LOL......its just about shaving your head and that isnt all we talk about. I told her we talk about how we can give each other pointers on how to sneak up on our wives and stick them in plastic garbage bags and how to dispose of their bodies without anyone ever knowing what happen. LOL....She just gave me that look...y'all know the look im talking about to....her response was Dont get Smart!...........
LOL....so finally I had to sit her down and show her what was going on here. But I will honestly say if she found out I was in here talking about me wearing Richard Simmons red and whites......she will prolly really raise and eyebrow at me.
Oh well I have fun, I enjoy it.....and no harm is done in here.....at least I hope not.

I can get on it from work. Appently being sly is allowed to pass the "Access Denied" filter!

Shyslyguy!
good to see you around...miss ya around here!
I agree though (sorry Tyler)...until you stop posting from worktime and it eats into your home (productive time)...you really don't see how much time it consumes...
I dig it though...but the wifey DOES not understand....even though we BOTH have met a very cool couple from my time spent at HSC!
Only a "sly" guy gets it! ;)

shyslyguy....it's good 2 C U back in the sly neighborhood. O0

I used to play online MMORPG games that would consume me for 4-6 hours a night... after that everything perils in comparison.
-
Though I'm obviously very new here, I excitedly told me wife all about the cool convo's I've been having on "my new site"... She just gave me a very strange look and walked away. oh well :)
-
We are having a lot of work done on our house right now, so the computer is in a corner of a small room and I don't get to it often I'm sure I'll get the same reaction when it is back in the family room and she sees all the bald guys that keep showing up on the screen
-
I hear that from my wife on an ongoing basis ... At first, she was very suspicious that I was "up to something", but then I got her involved in reading the postings and getting to know all that is going on in SBG and she became interested. But, she still makes comments and gives me funny looks occassionally, as though she thinks I'm up to something. Like I'm using SBG to mascarade some other covert activity up here. I do alot of work and research in my home office, as well as surfing SBG, and probably spend too much time up here.... But, it puts shoes on the baby's feet.
-
Well my better half spends a fair amount of time here too posting and reading messages so I get the thumbs up from her!!
-
My wife is a glass half empty kinda gal. When you start talking about the internet, she's kinda like Schro's wife. Pedophiles and all that. People meeting psychos and turning up dead. She's a lot like my mom that way.
Oh well, I just ignore her most of the time.
-
wanna know a secret....my wife doesnt even know i met up with Scott when I was in Louisville. She would prolly sh*t a brick. I dunno..she is jsut funny about this stuff. I cant seem to not blame her cause there are alot of wackos out there. If she found out I drove to Scotts place to meet him she would have the fryin pan over my head and then I would get the 20 questions. Im just fearing that she wont let me go to Chicago for the convention...not like anything is going to happen. OH well...i guess we will cross that bridge when we get there......right?

jdog...i think your wifey rocks 4 supporting your slyness & being an active member of the sly fraternity. O0 O0

WELL... Timm, IF youre wifey :px finds the pic's of you with a Wendyz wig and a big ass bra and talkin about your "red n whities" THEN she really might be concerned about your "VISIT"! :px :x! And dont all of our women realize were just "all undercover fbi angents sent out to infiltrate the local chapter of the lokal ku klux klan ?" (uneasy rider) WHY do people always try to read more into something than is REALLY there , and if there IS something flashing and screaming PROBLEM PROBLEM PROBLEM they cant see it painted on the side of a barn ? CANT WE ALL JUST GET A BONG ? if it werent for this site , MOST of us would either be g##3r or B@^ i guess its the 5k!v that our women are worried about
-
LOL....I had to a laugh at that one.
-
i have met two people irl that i met here. both were great guys who i look at as friends and am looking forward to seeing again. my wife doesn't really have a poblem with this site at all. she sometimes makes comments but i just laugh and make some smart-ass remark. she knows i canhandle myself.
-
Yea, My wife thinks it's a bit odd to be a member of a bald fraternity...But there are worst things I could be doing so she deals with it..
-
My wife is still cool with it....she jsut doesnt understand the concept. OH well....i can handle myself....if she didnt love me ....she would have left a long time ago..I would imagine. I told her well would you rather me be here or at those other places where being bald somewhere else is the subject???? LOL...
Have a great one bro's!
Timmayy!
-
My wife see's nothing wrong with me talking to a bunch of bald guys. If it was a site of "mostly" bald women, then she'd have some major concerns. :Xo!
-
Yes I know..but you see....in the chair that you have....you have to get up and walk to the bathroom or walk to the kitchen to get a drink. With this chair....I can sit and watch my favorite exercise/ health programs...just move this little "Joy" stick and I can go to any room in the house without raising my ass up for anything. Even when I go to the bathroom...it has a trap door in the seat...I can just back the chair right up over the stool and away I go....LOL
Just making life as simple as possible....thats all.
Timmayyy!
LOL
-
Hey what happened to part of your post there Tyro...where you posted a pic up of the chair??? somethign got wacked out there.....

No problem here, but I am one of the lucky ones, she loved my shaved head from the first moment and never thought the bald internet faternities were strange.
-
My wife is always wondering what I'm doing on this site because she just doesn't understand all of the different subjects we find to talk about.

Man, sorry Mel. Didn't realize you had already started one of these when I posted mine up. My bad bro.
But yeah, I use to get it all the time when I first started but then I let my wife read some of the posts and pm's. Once she saw how much more it was than just a "bald" web site she backed off a lot.
-
My wife refers all of you as My Bald headed friends. She still thinks we are all nuts.......
what does she know! LOL

Lately I have been getting the guilt trip..... I try to only be on here when everyone is out, I think that is what kept me off for a while. It is a great site.... she just jealous

Yeah, I use to get that but not as much now as long as I limit my time. I feel like I'm in boot camp or something like that sometimes. ;D
-
My wife thinks it's odd and my kids think I'm weird and sad.
-
This morning my wife woke up and she said I am mad at you! I was like...what did i do..I was asleep. I thought maybe i rolled over and took advantage of her in her sleep or something LOL...
She said NO....Im mad at you and YOUR BALD BUDDIES! I just looked at her like huhhhhhh?
She had us all figured out. She said that she knows why we all shave our heads. Its because we are in a pack. That we shave our heads to identify ourselves as another bald guy who sneaks around on his wife and that this convention in Chicago was actually all of us getting together and getting married to these girls we mess around with. Of course she said this was a dream she had last night.
I just looked at her and said you are NUTS and walked away. LOL

timmy: that's 2 funny. :*)) :*)) :*))

Same situation. Our supervisor is sly too so he probably wouldn't care anyway.

This evening I get from my wife...."are you on there with your boyfriends again? ...lol"
I jut gave her the look....

This is a funny thread!
My wife doesn't care about me posting and reading threads on this site.
At first she thought it was silly that I was talking to other "bald" people online - but she doesn't even bat an eyelash now!
She's cool with it - and I don't spend every waking minute here so she doesn't think that I "love you more than her".....
I also can pass the filter at work so it makes it easier to read and post there...
-
I'm avoiding dinner tonight.
My wife made one of her awful casseroles.
I'm at my PC waiting for her to bring a plate of that stuff over to me.
Looks like Buster the beagle is gonna be eating something extra.
Good boy. Stay here.... until that plate arrives.
By the way, Mr. Gleam you look very familiar! Do I know you.
Welcome compadre!

LOL.......my wife just informed me she is a "SLY GUYS WIDOW" before stompping off to the bedroom. Normally not much of a problem..but then it's PMS time again.... :Xo!

Tell her that there are worse sites you could be spending time looking at. >:D
-
lol... oh man if I did I would have to post the first SLY guy pic with a very dented dome!!
-
Mrs. buuckkweet was the same way. She immediately loved my new look, but wasn't completely sold on SBG.com. :-\
I simply explained to her that shaving my dome and being a member of SBG is my "midlife crisis". I also pointed out that there are worse things that I could be doing at this point in my "mid life", such as liquidating our assets and buying a sports car to go on a cross country road trip with a stripper named Bambi. ???
Mrs. buuckkweet quickly had a change of heart about SBG! :@``
There is some good that comes from being in my mid 40's after all!!! 8)

I just mention to her that there is a fabric sale somewhere and she takes off LOL

I'm assuming your wife does stitching & sewing too?
-
she sure does bro. She even works as a manager of a fabric store. I take it your wife does from the tone of your post. If you wife is ever interested or if anyone in here is ever interested, they can check out their website. They ship fabric all over the world. www.stitchingpostquilts.com
-
Thanks TIMMMMAY!!! Bev really likes that link!!! Mrs. TimmJ has another customer!
She does counted cross stitch, cross stitch, embroidery, baby blankets, and baby pillows. She is already starting another baby blanket that she will give to a needy couple. Over the years, a few babies have stayed safe and warm because of her unselfish dedication. She takes her sweet ol' time making these things, but puts a lot of love into her work. :@`
I try to tell her that I need a special hand made SBG pillow and blanket, just like the Tshirts! She says I'm doing quite nicely with what I have now.....can't blame a guy for trying. 8)

I don't have a woman in my life, but a friend I talked to about the site thinks I am going crazy.
And to make my visits REALLY strange here, I just saw an add at the bottom of the site for "Chubby Gay Dating". :XX
-
LOL@ JDigory :)
My daughter is always saying to me
"Mum, why do you wanna talk to a load of bald men?" hehe.
She'll realise as she gets older :@`

Becuase we are witty and debonair.

hello fellow chrome domes....i remember my 1st few months on the sly forum. my wifey....would say loudly: "MEL....R U ON THAT BALD WEBSITE, AGAIN. why R U chatting with bald men of all things?".
LMAO
Not two minutes ago, mine rolled her eyes at what I was browsing, sniggered and buggered off, closing the office door behind her.
-
Shoooooooot. I belong to about 5 different friend sites. MS, GW, HoN, FB, SBG. If you know what all that means, then we're on the same page! LOL! I check 'em all every day if I can and nobody says anything about it. Well, it's rather taboo to look at someone else's computer screen at my house, so nobody really questions where I go online.
-
I just hang out on here with my laptop. Mainly when I'm at work here at night. If I get on during the day, she will say "shouldn't you be working".
We do own our own business, so I guess she has a point. oh well.
-
Mel, I don't know how I missed this thread. But yes I will tell you that I get the "don't forget about us." line on a regular. I try to keep my SGB confined to either my office (God I love my work) or early in the morning or late at night when I'm less likely to here "what are you doing? Talking to those bald guys again?" ;D
-
This is just too funny! I hadn't seen this thread before today, and wondered how many of you SBG's put up with this from your significant others, too! Mine is in the "Just doesn't get it" category, too...although she just MAY be seeing a little bit of light. But yeah, I've had a few quips like "Oh, I see you're busy being bald again!" and things like that :*))
-
Yeah, I will get a little snide remark once in awhile also....but overall the wife would rather have me doing something home than being out in a bar ..... :x!
-
Fortunately I've never heard one negative thing about being sly from my girlfriend.
In fact she was the one who stated she'd love it if I just shaved my head.
(She probably got tired of looking at the ridiculous rug I'd wear)
-
When I'm asked if I'm "chatting with the bald guys again," I just say, "Okay...I'll switch over to a dating site!" ^-^
That usually quiets things down a bit.
-
LOL...I have went from "are you on that bald guys site again" to " are you talking to your boyfriends again" to the lastest..." You're not doing anything you are not suppose to be doing are you?" LOL
-
"You're not doing anything you are not suppose to be doing are you?" LOL
Gulp. Sounds familiar.
-
Yeah I was getting a little bit of that now and then. Even though i tried telling her stories from the Forum and about some of the guys.... she just didn't get it.
Then a week or so back i posted about a scary thing that happened with my son. ONe guy out of all the responses busted my balls about my, and my wife's, reactions to the situation. When I told her that, she had some not so kind words for the guy.
Then I got a PM from one of the Mods that the guy had been banned for his personal attack on me. When I told the wife that she said, "They did that? Why did they do that?"
I explained to her that SBG was about a lot more than that. That we sort of watched out for each other and that the community as a whole, especially the reuglars (no slap at the newer guys intended here), was a very good place to be.
She just went "Wow.... that's awesome". I could hear the wheels grinding...........
-
My g/f was happy I found this site. Just lurking, helped me gain confidence in owning the look and going sly. I owe a lot to this forum.
Then it turned into, "there you are talking to your boyfiends again" (seems to be a common phrase with our ladies).
Then, she started to get really wierded out when I started talking on the phone with SBG's.
But finally, when she found out that Tim owned a duck, for some reason that made it all good. LOL ;D
-
Oh gawd :*)) Another common thing! My wife saw me here on the forums one day and asked me "Are you gay?" (Let me say up front that neither of us has problems with gay - her son is gay.) and I just turned and said "Honey, after almost 7 years of marriage, if you don't know the answer to that question..." :*))
-
its always about teh DUCK! What is it with women and DUCKS? No that was not a misspelling either...lol
I knew where Time2Shine was going when he asked me what my wife thought about me getting on the net talking to you all and even making phone calls to them. I just had that feeling he was finally dealing with the same thing. Thing is...alot of people make good things look bad. Sure there are millions of guys doing things that they shouldnt be doing on the net. I am not going to say that I have been a complete angel on here myself...we all have fallen to it at one point in time.
I just wish that all the wives and or g/f , fiances would understand, we are all just a big group of brothers here. I have talked to my wife until I was blue in the face before she finally figured out it was all good. I think though that deep down she feels a little uneasy with it. Oh well, we have fun and I LIKE IT!
-

Yep...I understand that. My wife jokingly said the same thing since some of the guys on here are gay...which brings up a question. Wonder how many of the gay sly guys partners scarcastically say....."Oh there you are on that site with those STAIGHT guys again.. ;)
-
LOL...now that right thar is funny

What an interesting question! Hopefully some of the GSG's will weigh in on this! O0
-
My wife is OK with it. When I first joined up she made fun of me about my "bald friends support group"! lol
Now, a couple of you guys text me and call me which is fine. My phone will beep with a text and she will say "Your bald friend wants to talk to you". She's cool with it.
-
I have never spoken to any of you.... hmmmm !0$3r
-
If you guys saw my introduction you know that at one point my girlfriend was not so fond of the sly look and is still not 100% on board. Well since coming back to it, I have embraced a rebellious nature with the head shaving and whatnot, it seems to be more lifestyle than just a short haircut.
Well the first night I joined SBG, which was barely two weeks of becoming sly again, my gf called and asked what I was doing. I wasn't yelling or anything, but quite loudly I announced "I'm talking to my new bald buddies! That's what's up woman! You gonna do something about it?"
She wasn't as appalled as I had hoped. Just thought I was being weird.
-
Nice pic Rodubls...If I would have said it liek that to my wife...she would have cut me off indefinitely...lol
-

Same here, champ. I didn't realize some of the guys were doing that either.

Hehe yeah, luckily she knows I'm 10 lbs of s#*% in a 5 lb bag!
