Title: new haircut!
Post by: James-Alen on October 05, 2008, 09:42:55 PM
So my friend and I went to go jam with these two random guys in seattle today, and I passed perfectly. No one questioned anything and i was 'hey man'ed a few times it was amazing. I'm pretty sure it is because of my new haircut, what do you all think?

Great cut! It's definitely more masculine than what you had before.

I agree with Osiris. You look more masculine with this cut, but generally speaking you have very masculine features to begin with.

Awwwwwwh I loved your wavy long hairstyle thing. Yeah you look more manly now and thus pass better butbutbut. :( Haha. I really like it when guys have long wavy hair and it actually looks good. But I guess it's your head. ;)

Your hair, not theirs. I say your opinion weighs more than theirs. ;)

The first pic with the long hair and scarf you definitely look like more of a Huckleberry   ;)

The long hair looked neat, but short hair helps with passing, definitely.  A shorter haircut has helped me, mostly (my parents were less thrilled than I was, though--especially when out in public and strangers assume I'm their son).  And count me among the guys who will be sporting long hair + facial hair (assuming I can get decent growth on my face before I start losing hair from the top of my head, lol).

I too recently got a new cut. I'll post pictures... eventually. Right now I'm not allowed on the internet at home so my access to Susan's is limited.

meh

you looked masculine either way..... seriously. there's just something about you that screams male

I hope you didn't cut it just to pass, but it looks nice now, I agree

 I was actually kinda forced into it by friends XD

I liked it both ways, as well, but shorter seems to make people lean more toward male if they are wavering.

And like my dad always said, "It's your hair.  You have to live under it."  (This was usually said while shaking his head in dismay. LOL  Of course, it was often preceded by the comment, "I see you sat in the chair too long.")

I think it's a little more passable short. Once you start "T" you'll look good with long hair. I've NEVER had long hair, ever. I used to cut it when I was little if it was too long. My Mom gave up and let me keep it that way. Once I'm on "T" and pass w/o a problem, I want to let it grow long. I think that would be cool...Camden

Yeah in my opinion it's definately better to go with shorter for now.  And your new cut looks awesome.  Once I am on T I may or may not grow myhair a little but to be honest I do prefer it on the shorter side.

I'm gonna grow my hair long when it will no longer make me look like a "girl." heck yeah.

I like the new haircut too! It looks good on you, but I like short hair on most guys. Long hair's a pain in the butt anyway. Haha, I might end up shaving my head when I can pass as male.
