You don't go out looking for a job dressed like that? On a weekday?
Dude...I've been medically retired for more than 20 years. I don't go out looking for a job...ever.
I cut it all off not too long after that picture was taken. Kept it business short for a couple of years...then we moved to WA and I started growing it out again...not so much because I wanted to...but at least partly because I have a hard time trusting a new barber. Grew it for a couple of years...cut it all off again...kept it short for a couple of years...let it grow out for almost 4 years, cut it off again...I'm back to "keep it short-ish...keep my face shaved until the last week in August...then no haircut of shave all winter. Grow it out during Septembeard, Octobeard, Novembeard, Decembeard, Januhairy and Februhairy...then comes the month when "she who must be obeyed" usually "suggests that maybe it's time to March in and shave that shit off your face." So I do...and get a hair cut...and the cycle begins again...only this year, she said she LIKED the beard...and maybe I could let it grow. :eek: Not too sure I want to do that.

Thankfully my job doesn't care, started growing out my hair years ago and never got any negative comments.

This is an older pic but about where I'm at now.

Since Im still working I could never do that.

Back in 2007 to 2009 I did have shoulder length. It was an eye opener how much of a hassle it was. The extra hair made my head hot on a pillow while trying to sleep, I hated windy days, always had the car windows up, would get random comments from strangers like "this isn't the 1600s" 😅

Since I've had short hair most my life I finally went back to "normal".

Your hair's not the reason you are still a virgin, it's your personality.

Clearly you are not a golfer.

Haha it definitely is a bit more work, and yeah can get really hot in summer. On the plus side, it's a natural scarf in the winter. :p

I sometimes toy with getting a mullet, but don't know if I want to cut that much hair to make it happen. I think it would look cool on me though.
