You are now leaving Balding Planes and will soon be entering Baldville - page 1 -

• Hey all, brand new.  A picture tells a thousand words here at Sly, and so by now you know I'm not quite bald yet but am slowly (not slow enough!!) but surely getting there.  I have thought of going "slick" as you guys call it (still learning all the terms heh) but as an Actor I have to be mindful of the different roles I'm expected to play.  Granted in a few years I'll probably be phased out of the "Don Juan with blazing eyes and a thick head of dark hair" parts, but I think there are still a few roles left to conquer!!  Thank God for men like Patrick Stewart, eh?
  
  I'm a relatively positive and upbeat person.  Being an actor, a handful of my thoughts on self-worth UNFORTUNATELY have to do with my looks (weight, skin-tone, HAIR) and I soooo wish I hadn't been burdened with this ridiculously obvious genetic malfunction, BUT - what can you do.  I decided long ago that as long as I had my health (and a decent sex-drive) I could handle going bald.  But as soon as my camper stops pitching its tent, it's CURTAINS for me
  
  I'll hopefully be popping in from time to time for some uplifting advice from fellow bald eagles.  But until I need any, I have one question - how the hell is everyone today??

• Welcome O.  Glad that you came to us for inspiration.  We have plenty to spare.  We all know your plight.  As far as bald actors, just check out how many are bald.  007 Sean Connery for one.  I believe he has been voted numerous times as one of the sexiest men.  His past rolls have not been bad either.  Personally, hair is just a frame of mind.  John Travolta has a new movie coming out where he is bald, and he does look good.  Take the leap and cross over to the bright side!

  Honestly, your "new look" days should have arrived some time ago. I don't mean that to sound blunt or rude, but there's just no way to sugar-coat it.  A lot of us, myself included, have made the mistake of waiting too long for the Big Shave.  You're a good looking guy, but thinning hair doesn't suit anybody.  You've got good chiseled features and you will look amazing bald.  It's the weekend, no better time to do it.  We're here to offer any support that you need.  Just do it; you'll be thanking us afterwards.

• Hahaha do you call this support or peer pressure  haha I kid!
  
  the reason I can't slick it yet, or for a while probably, is because I'm an actor with quite a few roles that demand at least SOME hair
  
  I agree with the lot of you that thinning hair doesn't suit anybody, but as much as you guys are happy to be slick, I'm just as okay being Thin for the time being.
  
  Like I said, when the time, or the role, comes, I won't hesitate.  Contractual obligations withstanding though, you're gonna have to look at the Thin for a while

  There are roles I guess for balding men--you've got a good look for it.

  Nice avatar though, professional "acting" style I suppose.
