UGH I don’t like shaved heads. I need something to grab on to, to run my fingers through. I think a big mane is always more beautiful. ---

I think because the shape acts as phallic inspiration. “Look at me, all clean and cut… I am a warrior… all will kneel after me - except you wom-an. You kneel _before_ me” It really works, try it out. ---

The best reaction I got when I first shaved my head was from my boss at the time. He stopped briefly as we passed in the hallway and asked with a smile, “Cancer?” ---

my own feminine perspective… a bald head is ok, but it’s when you let it grow for a week or so and you have those little velvety fuzzies all over your head…mmmmm…that’s the best! ---

On a nicely shaped head, bald is _muy_ sexy. 😉 I think Michael Jordan looks much better shaved than he did in his college days with hair - blech. ---

I get a lot of head rubbing at Dopefests. The LadyDopers are at least intrigued if not actually turned on. I’m also married so I don’t know whether or not it improves your love life. It’s a little strange at first, but you get used to it 😉 I shave my head once or twice a week. The only problem is that lately I’ve taken to cutting the bejeepers out of my own noggin. ---

The biggest thing is you have to have a nice shaped head (not too many weird bumps and divots). And it’s instantly droolable on black men, white guys need to get some color on thier domes, that startling white needs to fade before you are really sexy. But with a goatee \. ---

I don’t get it, myself. I’ve never warmed up to either a shaved head or long hair on a man. Something in the middle range is nice, especially the tousled early-Beatles look (mmm…) Can’t please everybody, I guess. ---

I just wish there was a way I could shave it and still leave a five o’clock shadow on there. That would be great. ---

Shaved head, goatee, single earring, checking in. I must be doing something seriously wrong of late, though- when I first started shaving, strange women would come up and just start rubbing my scalp. I LIKE strange women. 🙂 Lately, though, I think I’ve become passe. Gotta work on that. Bald women? Generally hot as all get-out. 🙂 Oh, and for those who’re currently shaving, or thinking of doing so- try the Gillette Mach 3 razor. Trust me on this. ---

Yeah I tried to wax someones head and it didnt go over too well after the first pull got stuck, that idea was out the window, razors work, waxing doesnt.
