    i said i would feel to weird but maybe a smile, cuz i smile at anybody anyways, but im a shy person, so i think would tend to not talk to them, unless they stopped me first.... haha but mostly a smile

    i always smile at passing dreadheads...i never actually talk to them unless they approach me.

    Usually its only the people without dreads who ask me about mine

    I smile at dread heads however i wouldnt stop and talk to them about their dreads... i might be inclined to stop and talk to the generally BECASUE they have dreads but i doubt id make that our topic of convosation. Dreads just make me curious about the person behind them.

    Damn, in my town you can't walk 2 blocks without seeing at least one dreadhead. Sometimes I talk to them, if I really like their dreads or if I know them or something, other times I just smile.

    Well, the only time I usually see people with dreads is at concerts. I'm one of two dreadheads I know of in my city. I'm friends with the other one.

    Usually people come up to me, whether they have dreads or not, but a lot of times I walk up to random dreadheads and talk to 'em. I figure, if we're at the same concert, then we MUST have a little bit in common. I love talking to new people.

    Where I live, there are ZERO dreadies, other than myself.

    Whenever I see dreadheads, though, I usually won't say anythign to them...after all, would you stop and say hello to someone who was wearing the exact same T-shirt as you? Doubtful. I guess that's how I feel about it.

    If they stop me, of course I'll speak to them, but dreadheads are just like everyone else...well...mostly. I've had a few stop me before and ask advice or compliment on mine and then I'd ask for advice and so on...

    Usually if I'm on a stroll, I don't often talk to anyone...but if someone makes eye contact, I'll always notice and say hi. That happened a lot after I went to the National gathering.

    The other day, i saw this dude, dreads, big lobes, and that is really
    rare here, so i just walked up and started talking.

    Was cool, we talked music and what there is to do, and people we both knew.

    Anyway, gonna go see his band play at my favorite bar this tuesday.

    So see, i made a friend.

    Today I walked past a dready guy at school (first one I've ever seen). We made eye contact and we smiled at eachother.

    I don't think we really NEEDED to exchange any words...the smile was comforting and knowing enough.

    If they seemed up for it I would stop and chat. But, it would mostly depend on the situation. I'm really social and tend to find friends in the most unlikely ways. lol

    Went to see the dread guys band, they rocked, so see,
    taking a minute to be unshy and approach someone who
    might be of like mind really paid off.

    Im sure he and I have completly different reasons for
    our dreads, but we both have em, so thats one more
    reason to make more friends.

    Speaking of dreads, i got to talk about mine in my World Religions
    class i am taking at the college, was fun to have the forum to explain
    to a class why it is that I look so different from them.
