(I hope my double-posting from another forum is OK. Feel free to ban me, if not
I shaved my head a month ago, right around the time I got banned (at my request).
Here's what I noticed.
1. People pay attention to me A LOT more. It's like going from Joe Sixpack to the guy wearing a spacesuit.
2. Women often try to groom in the brief moment from when they see me to when they think I see them. It's like a compulsion or something. I'm not a mind reader. Maybe they think I'm hot, maybe they subconsciously worry about their hair when they see a bald guy. But I noticed this a LOT more after I shaved my head. (I'm definitely no model BTW)
3. Guys often "protect their women" when they see me. It's kind of freaky and even insulting. For example, a guy and a girl walk towards me. I see that they notice me. The guy puts his arm around the girl. If this happened once, I would think nothing of it, but after a while you notice a pattern. But this doesn't happen too often.
Another thing I noticed is that buzzed hair hides the fact that it's thinning. Mine's thinning pretty bad on top, but if I buzz it at 0 guard, you can see the stubble, but you don't notice that it's thinner on top. I don't know why.
Anyways, I don't know if this is useful to others, but I'm sticking with my shaved/buzzed look. If anyone has any thoughts on the body language, I'd like to hear them. I won't post pics. I'm very privacy-conscious.
