Lose the facial hair. The flop on top is fine, you're still young enough to get away with it. Someday it will be gone so enjoy it while you can. I can't stress enough -- lose the facial hair.

Contrary to what you may believe at a liberal 20-something frame of mind, your status in society (and your bank account) depends on TWO THINGS.

1. Your education level
2. Your appearance

If you have a PhD in biochemistry, you can look (and smell like) John Lennon, and still live very well.

If you are a normal Joe (HS diploma, some college, some work experience) you need to be clean cut in order to fit in.

"Fit in" means fit in visually. You can THINK whatever you want. Your two year AA in Business Management will only get you hired if you look corporate.

20 years ago, I was the long-haired, earring wearing, "fuk the man!" rocker. I was also unemployed most of the time, despite my education and skill-set background.

*shrug* But, if what I've said matters not to you, so be it. We all must learn life at our own pace. 🙂 Good luck to you.



well I thank you for your insight. But I'm only 16 so I still have a ways to go, but I do understand what you're saying.


OMG!! :shocked: I'm sorry...damn...I need to go find the Geritol Forum. 🙁 16? Well, damn...that's like...really young and stuff...

In that case...grow all your hair including your armpit hair long. Curl it, fro it, dye it, let your freak flag fly, son!!! In a few years, you'll enter the working world...and everything you think you know will change.

In the meantime, grow it, drink it, stick your thing in it, smoke it, poke it, play with it. Live life now, while you're young. :thumbsup:

I hope this was a joke. There are lots of guys with long hair that aren't metro/emo/queer.

I think you might look a bit better with short hair, and also if you shave that goatee. Once you start getting thicker facial hair growth it could be worth looking into, though.
