Now I know why no-one ever recommended short hair on me.

Those look a lot better than the first, but it is still an Oh! My! Goodness! look to me. Never mind. It’s the person under that hair that really matters. And there is a fine one there.

Also, you’re right–that will cause your co-worker to jump again. I’ll want a full report. :smiley:

I don’t have any before picture to compare with, but I think you look cute.

I really like your new haircut. It is indeed cute. Don’t sweat it, man, you look great!

Looks fine to me, dude.

Cool! Who’d you recruit?

:: laughs out loud ::

No, alas, I can’t claim the status of Recruiter for the Great Gay Conspiracy, since I am not gay.

(Honestly, there are times I think that being gay would have made my love life easier, or at least the Hot Monkey Sex more frequent. But on second thought, I’m old enough to have experienced the last of the very bad times in Canada for gays in my teens and twenties, if I were gay. During high school, just being suspected of being gay was bad enough. So maybe it wouldn’t have been so great. I am so thankful that my mother brought me up to be civilised.)

Thanks, olivesmarch4th, ladyfoxfyre, purple haze and Tamryne!

ladyfoxfyre, it was an unanticipated and rather traumatic Big Chop. purple haze, there’s a Before pic–before baldness, that is–in post 12.

I like long hair. I wouldn’t mind long grey or silver hair at all. But thanks to Grampa’s genetics, I’m probably going to look like Friar Tuck eventually.

Umm… I’m not you, and can’t take advantage of your style? Yeah, that’s it.

Thanks. :slight_smile:

I think I’ll walk into the office and pass his cubicle and say good morning like I always do, and coicidentally rip off my toque just at that moment… :smiley:

Hey, that’s not so bad. I’ve had my hair pretty short – bordering on buzz cut, in fact.
Observe the difference between me in '99 and me this past Christmas. (Pay no attention to the green laser beam in the second shot. Freakin’ sharks. And no, I don’t normally dress like that for work; our office Christmas party was later that morning.) I rather like the shorter hair. It’s pretty low maintenance. There is that unfortunate transitional period when it starts growing back in when it starts to get unweildy, though – it’s too long to spike without looking like a (bigger) dork, but too short to lie down like good, respectful follicles, so I either have to go through the dork-with-cowlick phase or cut it short again. I haven’t cut it since Christmas though and it finally got to the point where it lies down properly now. I do plan to get it cut again soon, though.

You’re right; short hair does have some advantages, like ease of washing. My toque goes on easier too. But Ow! My head gets cold now.

I was kinda aiming for a spikable look, but obviously this did not happen.

Probably was me. Friends and I had gone to Sweet Tomatoes and then to Target. Mmmm… Sweet Tomatoes

I don’t see the difference between barbers and other criminals. They should all be rounded up.

semi-bump for Spoons’ sake

Well, it’s Monday morning and I’m at work. I have had exactly one response to my hew* haircut, from the and that was positive. Everyone else, including that certain co-worker, was silent on the subject: too polite to say anything, I suspect.

Thanks for the report. I’m surprised at our friend; I thought for sure he’d scream. Oh well. Tell him I’m disappointed.

Maybe if you ask to borrow his hat because, y’know, it’s cold out… :wink:

My boss noticed at lunch.

Eh, yours isn’t so bad, Sunspace. I know how it feels to get overly scalped at the barber, though.

My wife prefers my hair longer, so I don’t get it cut short. (I aim to please!) I look like an albino lab rat with short hair, anyway.

I don’t get all these young guys with crew cuts. They look like prisoners or mental patients, most of them. I don’t see the appeal. If you’re young and fit and the hair isn’t gray or thinning, you should let it all hang out!
