Title: I think I know what's keeping me from going "SLY"
Post by: flatdave on February 25, 2009, 03:05:27 PM
Besides my wife being upset with me, I've been looking at this picture and to me, my head looks a bit lop-sided.  The right side looks good but the left side looks like it is more slanted \ than round like the right side.  What do all of you "SLY" guys think?

Your head's fine, it's an effect of the lighting--try light from the front.  As far as your wife, tough it out, I've probably got the spouse who has been the most anti-Sly of anyone.  Except for the fact that her friends repeatedly compliment me in her presence--I think I've heard her teeth grind more than once--or even give me a nice rub--she usually turns away ;D ;D ;D.  Don't let her try to pull the old,  "Everyone thinks you look sick and awful!" Ask her to name one or two, and then you pull out the names of the others that have complimented you--that works on She Who Must Be Obeyed really well.

I see a guy with a NICE SLY DOME!  I'm not seeing the asymmetry you do.  I assure you, IF there is a difference of one side of your melon to the other, it's not obvious.  And if one side is not the mirror image of the other, SO WHAT?  Your (and my, and everyone else's) face is not exactly symmetrical.  That's what makes us look unique.  Don't sweat it!

Good luck with your decision.  You know you want it...DO IT for you!

Hey Flatdave,

It's a great look man.  Don't hide it.

I think your head is just turned weird in that picture because your head looks fine in the avatar. It looks good! Keep it!

Your head looks just fine to me.  I've always been a little paranoid about how my head looks in the back.  It's not round and smooth.  I have some assymetry going on.  But I would still rather be sly.  I figure my head is fine because it's mine.  I haven't seen too many "perfect" heads.  We're all different.  I'm becoming more comfortable with the way I am.  Who cares what others think?  Sly is the greatest!  I look in the mirror and am comfortable with what I see, so why should anyone else's opinion matter?  Be sly and proud, bro.

I sorta kinda see what you mean, mainly because I have the same thing.  You can see it on my avatar pic, but it would never stop me bein SLY and nor should it stop you, bro: bring the SHINE back into your life! 8)

What's keeping you from going sly?  You.

Like the other bro's said; it's your head, get it shaved and get out there and be proud and confident!   O0

Thanks Razor, it is going to be updated as the chin mitten developes.

Re: pictures and head shape--you've really got to work on the lighting and the camera angle.  I've been working on it for several months.  Another thing is to learn a few of the simple touchup tools on your computer digital photograph program.  Just as the wrong angle and lighting can distort the subject, the touchup tools can crop and correct color balance too.  The "raw" picture is rarely what you want--it needs some work to make it really reflect the subject.
