Well, I can only speak from my own experiences. I doubt I'll have any other advice than what you've already heard. I'd say don't embrace the stereotype, but accept yourself. If someone wants to get to know you, they'll find that you're more than just a big, bald dude. If that disappoints them, then screw 'em. They're…

This comes down to a difference in opinion, so there's nothing to really be insulted by. It sucks that you feel your appearance gets you stuck in those stereotypes, but at certain point you've got accept what you can't change. People have told me I look better with a shaved head anyway, so it works for me. And if you…

Hairpieces were a pretty popular alternative back then, I think. So we still would've been mocked for being bald but we'd look stupid too.
As for the confidence thing, honestly I think I've been more confident since I started shaving my head. I never really liked my hair anyway, so why not just own this look. I've…

I refer to a certain point of when it's time for another shave as "The Costanza Line". Don't cross The Costanza Line.

I thank God every day that people like Statham and Diesel normalized the shaved head look before my hair started falling out. Admittedly though, I was a bit worried that people would think that I was a skinhead when they saw me. Luckily, I'm a pretty outgoing and genial person with a pretty diverse group of friends…

Someone called a white boy "White boy"? Shit, my monocle just fell into my coffee.

A buddy of mine and I were just having this conversation last night. Is this a thing that bothers most guys? I'm 5'10 and have dated women who are taller than me and it didn't bother me in the slightest. My buddy, who's got a few inches on me, same thing. Naturally we were willing to generalize that obviously dating a…

There's no pleasing is. <insert comment="" about="" throwing="" snowballs="" at="" santa="" here="">

The entire Liefeld catalog doesn't have enough pouches to keep all of those jokes in.

Yeah, his name is usually all I need to hear about something to give it a shot.

Understandable. I mean, I like to travel so to me planes are a necessary evil for some places I've been. If I had to choose between a 7 hour drive and a two hour flight, though? I'd take the drive every time.

All of the best jokes already taken, so I'll leave with this paraphrased description of the man himself from the "40 Worst Rob Liefeld Drawings" blog:
"He's a sentient pair of buttonfly jeans wearing a backwards baseball cap, and when he turns it around its still backwards."

He snuck me into a bar when Hot Snakes were first touring behind 'Automatic Midnight'. Easily one of the coolest things I've ever seen. And, for the record, one of the loudest things I've ever heard.

"I sleep in a race car. Do you sleep in a race car?"
"I sleep in a big bed with my wife."
"oh…"

Nope, just the ones they give you on the plane that plug into the armrest. Although it's been a few years. Maybe they have a way to pair the screens to someone's personal headphones now.

Why would anyone mock you for going to the gym? Or are you implying that you'll give it up in a couple of weeks and be guilty of the same things you were mocking people for? Because if that's the attitude you're walking in with, then it'll definitely happen that way.

I had an older brother who drilled it into my head at an early age that they're the greatest band ever. I haven't found a whole lot of evidence to the contrary.

You can keep mocking them if you start going now but don't see them in couple weeks when you're still going.

I'm resolving to throw a bit more variety into my workouts. I started by adding some battle rope workouts at the end of my usual weightlifting routines last night. They will exhaust the hell out of you, but they're insanely effective for conditioning practical strength in your body. Added bonus: if you grew up playing…

Heard during my commute to pick up lunch:
Elvis Costello- Oliver's Army
Bad Religion- Automatic Man
Side note: Has anyone else noticed that music in grocery stores is getting cooler? I heard the Elvin Bishop song listed above (not shocked at this one. I believe it hit #1 briefly) while I was there on my lunch break. I…
