Why do guys bic thier lids?
Posted: 7/2/2007 2:30:25 PM
I don't mind the shaved look where there is some stubble at least. And I don't care if the guy is balding or his hair is thinning as long as he's not taking a razor to his noggin to try and hide this fact.

But this trend where single guys are taking a bic razor to thier heads so that thier scalp is all shiny and feels like plastic is just.... GROSS!

I have noticed that a very large number of guys that are on this site bic thier lids. Just throwing it out there as to why I'm not interested and the likely reason why not to many other woman are either. The plastic saran wrap scalp look is OUT! Ewwww!

Why are you guys doing this to yourselves? Don't you want to look less intimidating and get dates?

Completely bald is much more socially acceptable than balding. In fact, it's stylish. Shave your head, don a suit, and suddenly Joe Shmuck starts looking like a somebody. SO much better than a bad combover.

Of course, I've got all my hair, and I'm genetically predisposed towards continuing to have it, so this discussion is mostly academic for me.

Got news for you... I don't like it and neither do alot of my female friends and we've all been wondering about this strange phenomenon among men.

Looks like a somebody by taking a bic razor to his head? I really don't think so. He looks more like a skinhead or some other intimidating creature by doing so.

The glare from the guys heads are just killing our eyes!

I say if you must keep it short leave at least a centimetre of fuzz!

I haven't actually "bic'd" my head yet, just taken the electric razor to bring the hair right down. I'm not only balding but thinning. I can't stand it. I like a nice clean look to my hair. With the way my hair was growing, I'd have to start using the combover. The only thing dirtier than a combover is a mullet/skullet. If their heads are shiny, they might want to try using baby powder to calm that shine down.

If a guy has hardly any hair anyways, I don't see the harm in him shaving it off. It can look a lot better.

I prefer a bit of fuzz, but if they don't have any fuzz then what can ya do?

There are some guys who look ridiculously hot bald. I know a couple.

Also, it's a really good way to NOT have to deal with impending baldness.

And it's a great way to stay cool for the summer. No, really, that's why my roomie did it!

I personally find most bald men appealing ...I have no problem with it. If it is because they are bolding, great solution. I have seen horrible comb overs...not that is scary to me!

Ask a girl section this should be in, no?

Got news for you ... I like it fine, and so do a lot of my female friends.

All you've got to do is not date the guys who do it. It's really not complicated.

OP, a guy that who shaves his head daily with a bic razor probably has a higher maintenance styling regimine than your hair do...can't exactly skip a day of shaving. With those guys, at least you know they are meticulous when it comes to their hygiene/grooming routines.

See http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts6801141.aspx. You're in the minority.

Shame, because I like my hair, even though there's a lot less of it, nowadays. But that's life.

I've never shaved mine right down, just used the electric shaver on it. Couple of my profile pics show how short I had it.

I used the electric shaver because it was easy to do, easy to take care of, I didn't have to worry about bed head, and it saved me a trip to the hairdresser once every few weeks.

When playing sports it's also substantially cooler. It felt kinda neat too :P.

Using a razor on it every day would be too much work.

Awww. I thought "bic their lids" was some new slang for masturbating, and I was going to start using it to impress the cool kids with my hip new phrase.

I like hair and I'm not attracted to the plasticated-scalp look, but I don't mind that people go for it. I could write a novel's worth of complaints about all the things people do to themselves that I find unattractive. The wonderful thing is that another woman could find all those things really hot. I mean, seriously -- Why do guys wear pleated pants? Why do women pierce their faces? What is the purpose of a goatee? Why do women dye their hair? ...It's because they like the way it feels or looks. There's no secret, more complicated answer to any of these questions.

I would rather see a guy with a shaved head than bald on top and full on the sides - hate that look. Bald is sexy!!!!!

I prefer long hair on a guy & so far have never dated a man that was balding or had a shaved head. I do however think that a comb-over looks silly and if a man is losing his hair, it probably would look better shaved. I would think an electric razor would do the trick though... a BIC might make it too smooth.

Normally, I shave mine down with an electric razor, but I have bic'd it on a few occasions. As someone else mentioned, it is just too much maintenance for me to bic it everyday, so I stick with a little stubble. I am balding and it looks ridiculous (to me, and that's who really matters here)if i try and grow it out. I don't bic it to look intimidating or shave it down so I can be menacing, it's just easier to deal with, much much cooler in the summertime and I don't have to fix anything when I wear a stocking cap over it in the winter (altho when the stubble grows out, the stocking cap is like peeling velcro off my head).

If it bothers you so much, don't date someone with it. Personally, I don't segregate women based on their hair style, but I guess I'm just different that way.

I think it looks really sexy on some guys. I am sure by looking are your profile, some may tend to wonder what in the world is up with your hair. Not that I am trying to be rude, but some on, pot calling the kettle black here.

To each their own!
I happen to find it quite sexy, indeed. Many looks depend on each man. I don't settle for any one look. And, in fact, it truly doesn't matter, as long as he is well groomed.

bic your lid? lol

It IS stylish and, in my opinion, very manly and sexy.

I personally really like the shaved look on most guys provided they have a nicely shaped head without tatts. I think it's sexy. I've even seen a few women with it done also but they've left a shadow of hair. I'd like to try it myself but I'm too chicken. Maybe someday for Cops for Cancer. That would be a good excuse. I'd rather see the shave look than long greasy hair that some guys have.

Why does anyone do anything to themselves?
Why do people get peircings all over their bodies?
Why do people get Tatoos?
Why do people get drunk and act like idiots?
Why do women (most not all ) dye there hair umpteen million times.
Why? Because we all are individuals. Last time I checked this was a democracy and not a dictatorship that controlled how we are or how we looked.
You are entitled to your opinion. There are some guys who do not have hair that can be manageable to everyones liking. Not everyone is blessed with a full head of luxurious hair.
Not every guy wants to be a metrosexual either and spend a long time in front of the mirror.
I bic my head and am proud of my shiny scalp even though I have been likened to a convict. I got tired of cutting shampooing, conditioning, styling, combing, blowdrying all for the sake of style. This is my style and im happy with it
To all the women who like the bald heads..I thank you and my fellow cue balls thank you.
Bald is beautiful
