Hair: how short have you gone? how long?

[farouk]

My dad used to joke that his hair migrated down from his head to his face and never went back up north. xD (He was bald, but had a beard.)

When I started to grow a beard (aka not shaving) my wife wasn't impressed. (After a certain age, though, some men can grow more on their chins than on the top of their heads.)

PS: I see your header quote from Red; I commented earlier on the Heavy Metal thread on the Red song you recommended.

Blessings.

Deborah:

Really? if it was about your health, I can understand, but crying about cutting hair?

(But maybe I'm insensitive to these mysteries...)

Blessings.

I think it was because she was shaving off all my hair not just cutting it and the reason why a woman would do that.

Although would I was a little girl and had very long hair my step-father decided that I needed to get it cut in a pixie cut before going to camp. He didn't ask my mom. She cried and cried when she saw it. It takes a long time to grow really long pretty hair.

I used to wear my hair down by my shoulders because I look better in long hair than short. After I went in business I went to a professional cut. Besides, I'm not on the market anymore anyway. ;)

E: you mean, you might not thrive in an interview now, with you hair as it is...?

I grew up on a farm in north Missouri with a WWII infantry veteran dad. Do you think I dared grow my hair beyond a crew cut back then? In college, I let my hair grow out in a (blech) mullet (ewwwwww) for one baseball season, but at the end of the freshman year, student deferments were a thing of the past, my number was 44 and I enlisted, spending the next 20 years in the Army. I've never had a hair on my head longer than two inches since.

I shaved it all before because mines receding though much slower than I originally thought. I have a round head too and it's still hard to pull off. You gotta get a tan and have some kind of look to go with it or you start giving people the wrong idea. Some jewelry or a cool shirt or something so people get it is a style not a statement. Yikes that's not good. I overheard one black girl and guy talking about me the girl saying it looked bad and the guy saying I had a round head so it made sense . Plus my Mom hated it.

G: You mention jewelry with it; do you ever wear earrings, maybe?

Blessings.

 

[Gordon]

Yes. Only for girls. The stupidity of youth ;)

 

[Gordon]

I meant to get the girls not trying to upset you Farouk

 

[farouk]

G: Well, I haven't worn any either for a while, but actually for man earrings can sometimes even give a rugged tough guy look, I guess.

Sorry, but even LeBron James looks stupid in his earrings.

 

[farouk]

Oh, no. That was a reference to girls. I've always been told by the ladies that I look very handsome and better with long hair. Professionally speaking, if two guys show up to give a bid, both competent, both similar bids, but one guy looks like a hippie and the other is clean cut, guess who gets the job? :yes

...the guy without the earrings, too? depends on the job, I guess.

 

[farouk]

Nah, I think earrings are pretty mainstream and accepted now, don't think they make a difference. I don't have any but almost everyone does anymore.

I'm off to bed now, much work tomorrow. Praise the Lord!
Good night all.

E: You pierced both of yours, did you?

Blessings & have a great night!

Earrings are mainstream...hmm, tempted to make a hipster joke here. xD

Well, if you do go to art college, I reckon quite a few of the male students will have them, let along the female ones.

True.
My older brother even had one at some point. I know some guys at my Bible study who do.

Well, yes, I'm sure some of them do. It's quite natural, I reckon, that some of them do.

And re. when your brother pierced his, I reckon it was simply a benign development as happens in a lot of families, whether Christian or not.

Blessings.

I remember my mom commented on it.

That was a long time ago. I wonder if he still has it.

She like it? often moms do.

[evenifigoalone]

She kinda disapproves of boys wearing earrings. But she didn't say anything negative to my brother about it. He didn't live with us anymore.

I don't quite remember what it looked like, but I'd think it'd look good on him, anyway.
