I just cut my hair off.


Only been growing it for a year or so, but NOBODY recognizes me. I've had girls that I've known for 6 months sit and stare at me for 5 minutes trying to figure out who I am--not as though its a bad thing :D.


Here's a few pics--one taken January 24th and the other taken about 5 minutes ago.

As you can see, it's been a rough day :hmm:

Chicks dig long hair.

:cool: I buzzed my head for a long while after the mullet days... my girl made me grow a ponytail. So now I walk around with it back always in the typical hippy/biker style just about to the center of my back.

furiously funky: if your ready cut it... it's only hair.
 
A personal point of view: I used to have long hair (middle of back) when I was in my late teens / early twenties. Anyway, I chopped it off and now have the standard short / messy Kyan from Queer Eye hair.

I chopped my hair to get a job (not a specific job but there is not a snowflakes chance in hell of a law firm hiring you with long hair). Anyway, I learned very soon afterwards that long hair is viewed very unfavorably by 95% of the female population.

I never received so many compliments and propositions in my life from girls. Not only that but with a few more years of experience under my belt I can say for sure that long hair is almost never a good look on a guy. Sure if you are a professional metal musican you can get away with it - but it does not mean you look good.

In summary - chop it - you will not look back. I can't name a single good looking guy with long hair! :)
