Quote from: MR. CLEAN on June 02, 2007, 02:21:49 PM As alternative athletes begin to replace the mold, I definitly hope the old stigma of the SkinHeads can just fade out.I thought it already had. I've never had that reaction from anyone. Nor can I ever remember seeing an actual skinhead in person. The only ones I've ever seen have been in the movies and on TV. Those of you who have been mistaken for skinheads -- where do you live? Maybe it is a regional thing?As an aside, people from multi-ethnic backgrounds are more and more common nowadays and it's not always easy to tell the ethnicity of a guy who shaves his head. Nobody's ever going to mistake me for anything other than a white guy, but if you hadn't said something about being a minority, Mr. Clean, I wouldn't have known and actually would not have even thought about it.

The one thing I notice is that some of the younger, fit guys get looked at like they are one of the ultimate fighter guys...I think that is the only stigma left these days - shaved head = fighter or if you are bulky = bouncer/security.
Clay, with my kisser... it's either "hard" or "really pissed off"! I work hard to make my self smile and be the first to "break the ice".
i knew i was making the right decision even as i was shaving it for the first time, but joining this site and hearing your stories has cinched it for me.
