Worried about how you’ll feel after you cut your hair? I was, but as soon as I got my buzz cut my confidence went straight up. My partner says I felt like I was Jason Statham. I even liked my body better. I started going to the gym. I looked good. I felt good. People around me wondered what I was on.
How did you feel when you let your hair go (or when it let go of you)?

Hi Joshua-
Im happy for you! But I have always wanted to know what it feels like to feel good. It sounds very confusing, but in other words, everytime i have my hair cut it just dosn’t feel…..me. So i just keep it VERY long and push my VERY LONG fringe into the rest of my hair with a headband. I am only 11, but I do this to prevent spots. If you have any tips to help me feel myself, or tips to NOT FEEL EMBARESSED when having my spots on show (little of subject….) I’d love to hear it.
Thanks for your time
Jess xx
Steve – I started going bald years before I met my partner and had the same worries. To start with, I know the female perspective (coming from my wife and numerous femals friends) is that short hair looks better than trying to hide going bald. I think men are so caught up in the image of having a full head of hair that anything else just looks bad.
Before I met my wife, I was somewhere between skinny and lanky, had thinning hair, a job I couldn’t stand and nobody ever accused me of being cultured. I thought the reason I was single was that I was ugly. I was single for so long that I started looking for flaws in myself. Turns out, I just never met the right person. I was so focused on meeting someone that I forgot how to be myself and relax. I came to terms with my appearance, started going to the gym, took classes to meet other intelligent people and just tried to be myself. Hang in there.
I still have moments of self-doubt, but realize that I’m a pretty good guy (at least I think I am). I may not have the prettiest face, but just being skinny at my age (38 too) is a step in the right direction.
For what it’s worth, I did the online dating thing and ended up meeting my wife.
wow…you are lucky. i have just cut mine short…i have pretty much nothing left on top and i feel so old and ugly. i am 38 and have always been very skinny…now i look like someone from a refugee camp. i wish i wasn’t so vain…i wish i could look in the mirror and like something about my appearance.
i’m single and am worried i will never find anyone. i am intelligent and educated and cultured…i don’t know why this is a problem. i would much rather lose my hair than my eyesight or a limb, but i am having trouble getting over it
