I have noticed that a lot of the guys on here are having a tough time with negative comments that are being made to them. I can understand, as I would probably be a little upset, if some of those things were said to me. I've been lucky in that I've had very little negativity from friends and family. Most seem to like it or their just scared of saying something mean to me.
The first option is to just ignore it and walk away. However, I can also understand wanting to stand up for yourself and say something. That is what I would do.
So, how about firing off a few ideas for some good come-backs that the guys can use, when someone makes a smartass or negative comment to them.
Simple ones:
- It makes me feel better about myself.
- Because I stopped being so concerned about other people's opinions and did what made me happy.
- I'm just getting a head-start on nature
Smartass responses:
- You've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a damn about your opinion.
- At least I can shave off my problem area.
- I'm not bald, I'm aerodynamically efficient.
- You wife/girlfriend sure seems to like it like this.
- How many ladies have rubbed your head this week?
- Chemo (then just walk away. He'll feel like sh*t.)
What others? Let's give our Sly brothers some ideas.
-
I use to get and still do periodically the..." Well why did you do that for?" I just look at them and say "Because I can" usually they do not say another word. They just stand there and look dumbfound.

I'm quoting my friend Rick (SLYinKC) here:
If you can't grow it, mow it.

them: "I really don't like your head shaved."
me: "Go somewhere else." or my personal favorite: "Ok, pay my bills and I'll do it your way."
Honestly, I don't know what gets into people. I don't go around making comments about other peoples choices be it clothes, hair or anything else.

I beleive Churchill used similar to this. It went as follows:-
woman "sir you are drunk!"
Churchill "that may be so madam, but you are ugly and I shall be sober in the morning!"

you guys are really witty. I usually just give them a "You dumb S**t" look and walk away.

I like Timmj's short and to the point approach. I use a similar response at times, "Because I felt like it..."

My grandfather used to say, "Grass doesn't grow on a busy street."
I prefer to use humor than to pick a fight. Most people are just babbling thoughtlessly, and the most gentle indication that what they said could be taken as an insult snaps them back into line.

I've only been sly for a day, but somebody said the following that I quite like:
"God only made a few beautifull heads, to the rest he gave hair" :)
-
Nice comeback Geo. Seems you are getting your confidence. Fantastic!
-
Early on I had one person say, "Cancer?" I posted about it on this board and someone gave me the perfect comeback, "No, Libra actually, what's your sign?" ;D It took about three months for some one to be dumb enough to ask again, and I was glad I was locked and loaded w/ that one! 8)

Dope #1: WHY did you shave your head ?
SBG: "Because I like it...duh! "
Dope #2: "I dont like your head shaved"
SBG: "theres a lot of things I dont like about you but I have enough class not to comment"
-
DJ- I like Dope#2... I'll remember that one for next time...
Thanx
-
Guess I'm lucky. Can't remember ever having a negative comment. My only reply has been that my hair was getting thinner and grayer so I just got rid of it.
.....maybe it's because I looked really bad with hair! :px
-
I say, because I have been handsome long enough!
-
"I can sleep off being drunk..... but you sure can't sleep that ugly off" :*))
"I do like the fact that I took care of my problem, NOW what can you do about yours" Stolen from another SBG here.

Awe your just jealous of my solar panel for a sex machine
-
Oh no spark. You didn't! I think that one was banned. :o

This is a gooden if the person goes out to try and offend you:
" If you dont like my head then I can wear a hat, but your broke and fat, theres no hat for that."

Someone needs to read the bald guy laws again

I prefer the direct approach:
YOU GOT A FUCKIN' PROBLEM WITH IT a$$hole!!!????!!?? DO YA'???!!!!????
Just kidding...... I figure they are an a$$hole and just start staring at them and laughing. When they ask what I'm laughing at I just laugh harder.
-
YOU GOT A f**kIN' PROBLEM WITH IT a$$hole!!!????!!?? DO YA'???!!!!????
This line definatly needs to be followed with a Stone Cold Stunner and then shake 2 cans of beer on yourself
