Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I just love the positive atmosphere this place provides and everyone here just seems to love life and want to live it to the fullest. Just as it should be :)

I am a bit concerned however. I do work in a bank and the whole suit tie combo with the bald head... kinda intimidates some people for some reason. Some customers today didn't want to mess with me even if I was trying to help  :/O

Anywho its just a minor drawback. I'm sure they'll get to see that I'm not like a hit man with the whole ensemble but just some friendly dude.

Once again thanks for the extremely warm welcome and I'll be glad to help others here just as much as reading these forums have helped me  O0

Ten years ago I might have been concerned about the bald dome in a professional environment.  Hell, ten years ago I was concerned about it.  But not today.   Stand outside any large office building at lunchtime or at the end of the working day and you'll see plenty of sly guys in suits coming and going.

I suppose you guys are right. I do see a lot of guys in suits and domes now that I look at it. Mind you I'm probably one of the younger ones in that crowd.

On the flip side I've received a lot of cool and clean comments from the female customers. Even the old grannies seem to like the look and I would have thought that they would have felt more threatened by it.

Had the same concerns Phil.  I work in a very professional environment also and was concerned that sly and a goat might not go over well.  I've had many comments from the big boss down saying it looks very professional and I carry the look very well. 

For New Years I sported the tux and top hat sly.  Don't think I've ever seen so many heads turn.  O0  Dressed to the 9's and sly is a killer look.

Welcome to SBG's Phil Man. Glad you decided to take control yourself and just do it.
I agree with Marz, and it's such a feeling of empowerment and I just can't understand how some guys would rather go through what you described in your intro. I know I never would have.

As far as feeling like a thug, that will also pass, you just have to relax and let your natural cordial personality come through. In time you'll find things will just become easier, and you will be more comfortable with yourself and the new you.

Congrats again on grabbing the bull by the horns!   O0
Keep us posted on your progress and enjoy your new found "slyness".
