So, I kept my promise and have been following my path to slyness... I have shaved my head the closest for now... I would say I am 95% there, but still not 100% sly yet. I am still trying to get used to it.

I have had support from family and friends, a couple of negative comments but most are positive or neutral.

And like I said, since my last post I am still trying to get used to the new look. Everything has been improving in my life because I have been reading and learning a lot about motivation, self-confidence, success, and trust me it has been working.

But, when everything seems to be working something happens that ruins it. A couple days ago, I was leaving the mall, and found an old friend from high school that I haven't seen in a while, he came up to me and was like "Bro, what did you do to your hair?" (He doesn't know I am balding)... "Let it grow back, you look like a Conehead now, for real"... I didn't try to pay alot of attention to the comment.

And, next day reality kicked in, I mean I got to be honest, before shaving my head, I used to have nice fade haircut, everywhere I went I was able to talk to girls, and even sometimes I went farther than just talking with them. However, lately since I started to shave my head, there has been ZERO girls, 0. It really sucks, even the girls that I used to know that they were down do anything whenever, are not that interested anymore, it is pretty sad and disappointing.

I know, all of you might said, that my old friend from high school made just a "comment" but, if I think about it, even though everything in my life has been improving lately. There are two things that have not improved yet, since I started shaving... my game with girls, and the way I see myself in the mirror

It is not easy... Sometimes, I am accepting the problem... But other times I just wish there was a cure.

This is an updated picture, as you can see I am almost there, but I am still wishing that I could atleast have a flat, or round head on top, like many of you guys. Unfortunately, that is not my case.

hi again.

"be who you are, say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter"
think of it..do you live to please yourself or the others?

"Wishing" to have something different indicates you have not embraced the new style. And until you embrace it you will not be showing confidence in yourself. It's just going to take some time because it is a big change for you. And although it's a realistic move based on your thinning hair, you haven't completed the emotional adjustment.

It is just going to take a bit more time. I'm guessing that in another month or two when you look in the mirror you won't see a bald guy anymore ... you'll just see yourself. That's when you'll really have integrated being Sly.

You're making great progress in many ways, just be patient as some of the others catch up.

People can say the most hurtful stuff without even thinking. I know how you feel, you think you are doing fine, then BAM! someone says a comment and you feel like crap right?

Thing is, you look great in your pictures, definately not a conehead!

Go with what makes you most comfortable and happy

I can honestly say you look great and you should careless what people say about your bald head.  I've been bald now for 3 years and could careless what anybody would say about my shaved bald head.  Not that anybody has ever said anything bad about it.  In fact I have not had a bad comment about it since I shaved bald 3 years ago this September.  Do yourself a favor and accept the inevitable.  We guys here at slybaldguys will for ever be bald and we love that way and so should you.

You look good shaved and most who see you may not say it, but also think so. Don't worry about others opinions. For most of the rude, negative and offensive comments come from very insecure people...they don't matter, you do.  Best of luck.

Agreed. Youre too hard on yourself.

Great attitude in dealing with life. Nothing wrong with the shape of your head.
