Title: crossing over to the sly side
Post by: senormac08 on June 12, 2008, 09:25:34 AM: I'm 21 and have been thinning quickly for a couple years. I considered surgery and other remedies but never felt right about them. I started thinking about it more and more and soon became much too preoccupied with the way my hair looked. I've considered shaving it off for a few months but haven't had the guts to actually go through with it. I found SBG last night, lurked for an hour, had a beer, and grabbed a razor to smooth my dome.

I think it looks great! I haven't had many reactions to it yet. I posted a picture online for my friends and family to see so I'll get those reactions soon and I'm sure my date tomorrow will be surprised. I'm curious to see what they say, but either way I definitely like my new look and will keep it for a while.

Thanks for all the advice and for the confidence.

Some information about me: I grew up in New Hampshire, live in Baltimore temporarily. I'm a big sports fan and I love anything and everything that goes fast enough to scare me. I just graduated from Annapolis with a bachelor's in IT and I'm moving to Pensacola, FL next week to start flight school.

Congratulations on your graduation. The flight school sounds awesome.

Post by: senormac08 on June 16, 2008, 01:25:05 PM: All positive reactions so far. Still feels like a good decision. I even made a sly convert. My neighbor saw me on Friday with my new shiny dome and shaved his the next day. I was a little weirded out by that move, but I guess imitation is the finest form of flattery.

Magma... I have no idea what any of that means, but it sounds beautiful coming from you.

Welcome Senormac08 ... You are right, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Look at how many on this board were convinced by others.

Post by: skinhead002 on June 19, 2008, 04:45:14 PM: Congrats on going slick and that bright shiny new commission from the Naval Academy! Be proud of earning a commission in our ARMED forces! One of the proudest days of my life was that long ago day in May 1982 when I earned my Army commission. We've created PC generations of young company grade officers in the Army that believe good officership is running around apologizing to NCOs for being a lieutenant or a captain and then trying to "win" a popularity contesst with subordinates. Be a leader.

Anyway, that flight helmet oughta fit real good on that bald head and you'll be one squared away ensign(or maybe a Marine 2LT?)

See you on the high ground!
