Title: If your head looks like this ....
Post by: Razor X on October 20, 2008, 10:03:40 PM
... then you need to shave it.

How do guys stand to go around with that little island on the forehead?  At least clean up the top if you're not ready to lose the fringe.    :/O

This is exactly why I tell people why I shave my head if they ask - this would be me in a few more years.  No thank you!  Good find Razor.

AGREED, but you see these poor suckers all over the place.  Sometimes it's almost irresistable to tell them, "You've got something dead on your head, shave it off!  It's dead and it won't grow I promise."

No big deal, if he's confident and comfortable who am I to say how he should handle his hair loss.

More power to him.

I agree with Lucky.  If he's happy with that look then go for it.  I'd shave it.

He really should lose that naff yellow plastic bracelet though.

Agree with Luck and Stump.
For me, the point of this site is not just shaving your head, it's about being confident with who you are.

I agree with the previous thre brothers..... but I think he would look way better shaved.

Same here, Mike.  I think even buzzing it down would be a great improvement over those thin wisps.

If someone get's in my chair looking like this,  I always ask if they want me to get rid of or keep the fluff on top. It's a subtle way of hinting that they might want to reevaluate thier options.    :)
Most guys sporting this look want to keep what they have till the bitter end...

He really should lose that naff yellow plastic bracelet though.

FYI, that "naff yellow plastic bracelet" is actually 1. rubber and B. a "Livestrong" bracelet which represents the Lance Armstrong Foundation and their Global Initiative to Fight Cancer.

Sometimes I read posts on this forum and I think the website should be called ShavedBaldGuys, not SlyBaldGuys. Surely being sly is about your attitude and not your appearance? For example, the man in the picture may be very happy with his life and not self-conscious about his hair loss at all. I don't understand why he should completely shave his head to prove his slyness. It's not like he's sporting a combover to hide his baldness. If he's happy with who he is and the way he looks why should he change? He has no need to. Lots of men choose not to shave their heads and they lead happy, fulfilling lives. What's inside your head is more important than what's on it.

Yeah, but if you gain more confidence with shaving, then by all means do it.  The members on here agree with you though, that slyness isn't about hair... its all about being confident and happy with yourself.

Well then he needs to go find the SLYGUYS.com site....

I get what you are saying, but most of us in here shave.

If that is the case then the website disclaimer needs to be changed. It says this is a community for bald men who want to feel confident about their baldness. If being 'sly' simply means being 'shaved' then that needs to be made clear. Some bald men simply do not want to shave their heads, but they want to feel good about themselves.

That's it... I'm going double quarter pounder from now on with the diet coke. Regular coca-cola goes right to my thighs.

We all seem to be comfortabe and confident with our baldness.  As the others have said, this site is about the confidence we have in spite of being bald.  I agree that if this man likes his looks, so be it.  I also think that if he shaved, he would greatly help his appearance.  The candor and joking we do with each other is GREAT! and should not be taken to heart.  We all have said hurtful things in jest.  I know I have.  Personally, if I joke and kid around with someone, it is because I like you. Those around me understand this quirk in my personality.

Agreed, big time.     O0

I've said it before and I'll say it again, whether or not your shaved to the skin, or buzzed down to a 1, 2 or whatever, you are considered bald!, especially when you have the typical mpb characteristics.

I think if a fellow is comfortable and confident within himself, than that's all that matters.
If you think I'm kidding, then just check out Jason Statham. Enough said.

I agree, the most important thing is to feel comfortable in your own skin, whatever form that might take, and whatever hairstyle/preferance you might choose.   8)

Maybe i just have my definitions wrong.  To me a person who has Hair....is not Bald.  They may be "BALDING"  but they arent bald.   I do not consider myself bald, although we are refered to as being bald.  To me a person is Bald when he no longer has the need to shave it off.

Post by: D.A.L.U.I. on December 05, 2008, 07:17:26 AM
I think TimmJ is right, but I might add that a person can be bald, w/o hair and still not be profoundly bald, that is no hair whatsoever, no wisps, no thin areas--just a fringe that remains.  So I would say a person can (i) have hair w/o any evidence or MPB receding hairline or thinning, (ii) be balding, thinning and or receding hair line and "hole" in the back, (iii) bald, w/ some evidence of hair on the top and (iv) profoundly bald, clean as a whistle on top and just the fringe.  Of course we could also follow the Norwood Charts.  Any thing over a V is bald, and I to IV is balding.

I see what you're saying, but even with some hair to shave off, I consider myself bald and am fine with people referring to me as bald.  The word bald seems to have a negative connotation.  Let's change that!  O0
