Proper Introduction
« on: November 22, 2010, 01:32:20 PM »
Hello to all!

First of all let me tell you a little bit from myself... My name is Alex, and i am Portuguese (our community's popularity has reached the Southern Europe!)

I've come across this community on the internet and started to read some posts. I immediately started to relate myself to what was shown and talked about here. And some of the things written here were very enlightening. An example of this is that i've always felt bad about becoming bald at a young age, and after reading some of our community members posts about their personal experiences, i've realized that i've actually had a full set of hair for longer than many people.

My hair started to fall when i was 25 and today i'm tottaly bald except for a little set of hair that hasn't still fallen in the top of my head (i'm 28). I lost my hair very fast and it troubled me for some time. It was a radical change in my appearence and i got a lot of comments regarding that, many being in a form of a joke by men that had a full set of hair (if there is a God...)

I haven't gone Slyyyyyyyy as i did not yet bring the razor near my scalp and i kind of like having a little bit of stubble in the hair.

I think that Hollywood belittles bald men and this forum and community helps to fight back against that trend and make bald heads fashionable!

Bald is cool! Bald rocks!

Greeting from a fellow Sly Bald Initiate Learner!

Alex, from one Portuguese to another, welcome!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Glad to be a part of the community!

Tyler, good to see a fellow countryman!!! Grande abraço!

Magoo, yes, sly guys on movies are getting trendier, like Bruce Willis for an example. Bruce Willis is cooler than cool. I'm just saying that i still feel that there's a sort of stereotype. But i agree. It has changed a little bit. I stand corrected.  :)

Welcome Alex...good thing about that tiny amount of stubble is you're just a day or two away from getting that much back after shaving it slick. Enjoy!
