Having went sly two days ago, I can say my wife if is in the denial stage. I think she's having trouble shaking the usual bald stereotype out of her head: a bald guy with a goatee must be a murderer. She hasn't told me specifically that she hates it, but she has said she doesn't "have her James anymore," which means she doesn't think I'm cute like I used to be.
But truth be told, I kind of like not being regarded as cute anymore. One coworker yesterday (my first day on the job being Sly) said I looked tough. Another said "distinguished." Those adjectives have never been used in conjunction with my name before! So I like the change!
I hope that as my wife sees the reaction of others, she'll come around. I also can't wait for the next time I see her family. I think some of them will like it, and make it easier for her to like it too. -

Its been almost one week, and my wife is starting to come around. She's told me she's getting used to it, and she's starting to hear positive feedback from others, so I think everything will be alright.
And I still love it. Glad I did it. Now I'm thinking about shaving everyday and getting some shades (sunglasses never looked good on me before). This really is a lifestyle, isn't it? -

Yep Slickjay, I'm just now realizing that this a lifestyle too. After just a couple of weeks in the Kingdom of Slydom, I'm finding it's changed not only my appearance, but also how I feel about myself. The increased self-confidence is incredible.
A lifestyle question to all you long-time sly'ers: Do you remain active on SBG because of your bald head, or because of thewackosfriends you've met here?
