I do find it funny that these guys think they are proving how secure they are with their hair loss, yet have to shave their entire freakin head once, maybe even twice every single day, and half of them have to maintain their goatees and beards as well to complete the look. Being actually secure is having thick sides and full horseshoe, that guy can at least claim it doesn't bother him.
I'm also noticing the amount of guys who call themselves "BBC" which I believe means Bald By Choice (which is hilarious because it just reminds me of Big Black c*** in p*rn terms- this site's like a parody) and it's actually a huge amount of posters, and often the most positive ones. It's like these guys must have empty lives, I mean we're all on here struggling with an admitted insecurity, and how to deal with it, whereas they have decided shaving their head is going to be this big new identity for them and they feel the need to promote something so stupid and simple, it's kind of ridiculous. It's like someone making a "SlyShadesBros" forum where people convene to take pictures of themselves wearing sunglasses, it's just so lame.
I can't find it now but there was a thread I saw earlier called something like "Do you actually like being bald?" there was not 1 freaking person who said no, every one of them just said it looks fantastic, they get more attention, people respect them, I mean this is ****ing fairy land. I think people on HairLossTalk.com exaggerate how much baldness effects a person in society (cocohot, Fred, would make you believe it instantly means you'll lose your job and home and end up in the gutter with your bald homeless comrades) but the guys on SBG's are on the opposite end of the spectrum. I always admit that baldness is going to affect you somewhat negatively in all ways, you may have to try a bit harder to be personable, something like that, and I think it's overly un-realistic and falsely positive to say there would be no affect whatsoever, but to say that it's a significant positive?! That's just plain stupid.
I mean ****, look at this one:

Pros: The rare situation you may find yourself threatened physically may be less likely to happen.
Cons: People are threatened by you; any sign of being remotely aggressive or even just frustrated means you'll be dubbed as having a "temper" including in the workplace; women will feel more threatened and those who are particularly sensitive or have had an unfortunate past experience will probably regard you as more likely to rape them; children will be scared that you might beat them because that's what the villains do in films.
Need I go on? These points are also exaggerating a bit, because these are not definitely constant issues, but by this guys own accord of saying "looking tough is cool!" there are definitely downsides to looking tough and of course, these will never get acknowledged in that ridiculous place.

I swear some of these guys are pretending to be bald by choice, check out this one
Hmmmm, suspicious lack of shading in that temple area.
And there's others who have written "I'm bald by choice but eventually nature took it's course anyway", ya, sure. And you never saw it coming.
