Title: What made you check out SBG?
Post by: Argyle on January 04, 2007, 03:20:35 PM
For me it was having a day when I was definitely not loving the bald bonce!!  Thought I would come online to convince myself that there were others who loved there hairline or lack of it to cheer myself up a bit!

It worked, and I think this Site is pretty cool,

That said, what attracted you guys to start posting on here?

I got here from a link from Headshavers.org. I was contemplating shaving, but wasn't quite sure yet. They said it was a pretty cool site, so I checked it out. After reading about all the great guys here, I was confident enough to shave it down.

I was curious about self-tanning lotion for the chromedome.  So I did a Google search on "head shaving" + "tanning lotion"

And here I am!!!

Those are the stories I like to hear. Getting the guys here who are just on the brink, then they read about the rest of us, and it gives them what they need to take the plunge.

I was doing research on hair loss because it was driving me nuts.  I came across the forum through a search engine and began to monitor it for a few weeks.  Finally I got the guts to bic the head.  This place led me to the Headblade site, the rest is history.

I'll just copy that Johnny...that's exactly what I did.
Oh, I also did an internet search of "pburke" + "harass".  :D

Listen to some Rodney Carrington, that'll brighten your day.

Get in your truck, drive to Wal-Mart, *ding* whip your kids, crank some "Fred's Ridin' Fred" on your radio, and stop in Florida at "The Booby Trap".

You know we love ya, Paul  :@`(if you can excuse the sexual overtones of that statement).

Had already shaved and was checking out HeadShavers to decide whether to drop the look or not.  Found this recommended site, read alot of information, support and harrassment.  Asked one question and got nothing but positive support for staying bald.  Thanks

I was looking around on headblades myspace and I saw SBG's myspace in the top friends. Went and checked out the myspace then came straight over here. Read some reviews, looked around a bit, and I knew that I had to join. Who doesn't love a group of kick ass bald guys?

If I remember right, Tyler first joined my group on Yahoo, Christian Chromedomes and then gave me an invite.  SBG is a pretty happening place for this Sly Bald Christian Chromedome Guy!  ( I know, what a shameless plug for BOTH groups! :)  Good place for my second bald home here on the net!

"You can't make someone love you, but you can stalk them and hope they give in"

Hey, that's kinda what I did to Kori.. only not so stalkerish. I was just persistant until she agreed to go out with me. A decision that I don't think she regrets! :D

I don't regret it one bit.  The only thing I even kind of regret is not going out with you sooner.  What was I thinking!?

After having a salon zero guard the head the first time, I wanted to learn some more about how to do it myself and get the smoothness.   Also, I wanted to see random opinions on the bald look on guys(positive articles/feedback).   I originally found headshaver.org and baldrus.com and then on one altavista search sly bald guys came up.   I checked out the site and it just seemed cool.   

I posted an introduction and just felt at home, and have been here ever since.

Well being the ever impulsive wreckless fool that is me, I thought one day...  "hmm I should shave my head".  Out came the Mach III and in about 20 minutes I took the self portait that is my avatar and sent it to my wife.  Then I thought...  hmm, I wonder how to get rid of this shadow and then I thought...  I bet there's some stuff I should do to take care of my head and then I thought...  I wonder...  Did a search for head shaving and viola!  Here I'm is! You'se guys has made me feel so welcome and confident in my decision that now you can't get rid of me.  HAHAHAHAHA   >:D

 :) Finding the site was part of the surprisingly extensive research I did on headshaving before making the decision to take it off. It was the first time the web played any significant part in my determining a personal option. I was amazed that there was such a community and such an informative, supportive conversation in cyber space--since I am somewhat older than most of the guys and the computer is still something relatively new and unexplored to me. I am  still impressed by the computer literacy and technological know-how of most SBGs. The links provided a much broader view of headshaving and balness than I could ever have hoped to get from anecdotal references. Had I known about this site when it was first established, I'd have shaved then. Professor Melon

Prof, I'm so glad you found this site and that it helped you as much.  The funny thing is, if you had tried to find this site any earlier than you did,  you probably wouldn't have found it...LOL.  It launched in August, but it wasn't until late Oct. that it started registering very high in any of the search engines or having any links from other sites.

I kinda did it the other way around, Professor. I shaved it off and THEN I went looking for info. I didn't realize how many sites are out there for us baldies.  I was doing google searches for "bald head care" and things like that when this website popped up. I've only been here a day or so but I think I'm in good company!!
