Title: Suprisingly most of the comments have been positive
Post by: flatdave on May 20, 2009, 01:33:50 PM
So, I go to work on Monday morning stressing about what kind of comments I was going to get throughout the day.  I was pretty much stressed for no reason.  I got a few guys say "Nice", a few "Whoa, that looks nice" alot of "You shaved your head" with no other comment.  But I did have to that I loved.  One co-worker said, "I love it!  I'm going to do that when I grow a pair."  Another guy told me that I looked like Howie Mandel and started calling me Howie.  Later he came back and said that I didn't have any dents in my and that I was made to be bald.  Today he once again told me how good it looked and asked if I was shaving my head every day.  I told him no, every other day for now.  One of the negative comments was from another co-worker, who said he was sorry and I asked for what and he said the chemo, I just said yeah thanks.  He came up later and said I just don't know why anyone with a full head of hair would shave it off.  I should have said so I don't look like you but I resisted.  His hair is on the longer side and looks like hell all the time, in my opinion anyway.  Well, just thought I would share with the rest of you SLY dudes.

  Another guy told me that I looked like Howie Mandel and started calling me Howie. 

Now if only we could have the kind of money that Howie has, we all would be set for along time.

You do look good in all of your SLYness.

In my experience, if a guy doesn't like the look on you, he won't say anything about it (unless you hold him down and ask for an honest opinion). Women will be a little more candid.

You just never know what's gonna come out of the mouth of some dumba$$!  I guess also that if you look confident and don't shy away it personifies that you have confidence in your decision.

You should have said to the guy, "because your wife told me that she likes it shaved!"  Zing!

Great that you got all that positive feedback at work, bro.  Soon, you won't even think about being sly, it'll just be who you are.  8)
