4588686 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) I'm thinking of giving myself a buzz cut. I've done it before and it was fine but I was single at the time. Am I under any sort of obligation to get any feedback from my girlfriend before I do this? Also, have you lost weight? Done something with your hair? Because you look stunning I'm so sweet!

Ash Wednesday Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Probably not obligated, but it's always nice to give a lady a heads up. I dated a guy that shaved his entire farking head like a farking skinhead and didn't tell me. That was a little annoying. Yeah, we broke up. Okay, it wasn't over hair. But still.

MithLuin Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Look at it this way; would you be annoyed if she hacked all of her hair off without warning you first? Or rather...do you want to deal with the fallout if you don't tell her and it turns out she doesn't like it? While you can do whatever you want with your own hair, if you're concerned about her reaction in any way (which you obviously are, because you posted here), you should probably discuss it with her, even if that's just to say that you're going to do something (a surprise) and you'll look different next time she sees you. Some sort of heads up before the hair is actually cut off. My philosophy while dating guys in college was that they could grow whatever facial hair they wanted and cut their hair however they wanted (so long as it wasn't longer than mine). This resulted in some....interesting...hairstyles, but in my opinion, they weren't going to be attracting any other girls if they made themselves look ridiculous, so it was no harm to me. Why this matters to you is I am *not* the female to consult on these questions. Other girls would walk up to my boyfriend and say 'shave that off, you look ridiculous.' Apparently, I was failing in my gf duties by failing to care at all what his hair looked like. His wife does not let him do stuff like this: [img]http://www.deater.net/weave/pictures/post-college/vl2.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisa Marie Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Okay, so when I first started seeing my boyfriend, one of the things I noticed at first was that he had gorgeous hair. No, I'm not being shallow, it really was like Edward Cullen amesome hair. Then a couple weeks later he got all of it shaved off salvaging a botched haircut job (lesson learned - don't have your floormate cut your hair!). It was kinda not so great. BUT did I tell him that? Psh, no. He needed confidence! I didn't let that get in the way of getting to know him. And then a year later I admitted it was kinda not so great. Moral of my story: No, you're not obligated, because if she's quality she'll stick around anyway and it's most important that you feel comfortable with your hair. BUT it'd be nice for a head's up, or to ask for her opinion. Girls like it when guys ask for our opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totus Tuus Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I accidentally slapped my then-boyfriend across the face the first time he got a buzz cut (true story... I didn't like it and I'm kind of impulsive). He would have done well to get my input first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPetiteSoeur Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Well, my sister, my mother, and I tell my father what to do with his hair (we like it when his hair is curly!). I don't think my mother did that when they were dating, though. I did wish my guy friend (brother/sister relationship) had told me before he shaved off all his hair; i could have told him that it would make his ears look big and that it would make his head COLD in the middle of a Northeast WINTER.

There was no way for me to make him look any kind of normal if I didn't cut his hair that short. It's not my fault that he didn't ask Kerrin to cut his hair and instead he asked that random dude down the hall who only had experience cutting black people's hair! And Hassan, if you're having doubts, ask her, or at least tell her that you're going to get a hair cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

got2luvjc Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 If she truly cares about you, she'll still like you after said hair-cut. Though, women often (but NOT always) have good insight as to how something might *look* to the outside population. I've often considered having short hair for athletic purposes, but I've been confused for a guy often enough that short hair would definitely not help >_< My end opinion: do what you want, but for the right reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgiiMichael Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Basilisa Marie' timestamp='1325548346' post='2361948'] YOU CUT HIS HAIR? He never said it was you! Oh my. Well, thank you for fixing it. [/quote] Did you see his hair BEFORE I fixed it? I could have sworn he let a 2 year old near him with some safety scissors. Some of the hair on his head was already as short as the buzz that I gave him. There was no way I could have fixed it without buzzing all of his hair off the way I did. Also, I thought you knew that I was the one who fixed him. I wasn't keeping it a secret. Edited January 3, 2012 by GeorgiiMichael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
