Finally cut my hair! Thoughts on it? Better before or after?

[rthomas43]

Posted a question a couple months ago asking whether or not I should I cut my hair. Finally chopped it off. First time I've ever gone in for a haircut and told the stylist something other than "I don't want so much hair on my head".

Look okay with the giant forehead?
Better before or after?

First pic is the before pic with long hair.

Last two are with the new haircut, front and profile views.
Was going to crop the arms out so I wouldn't seem like I was showing off, but I figured at least one or two women would appreciate it =p

Before:

Great feedback so far.

Feels good to not be self-conscious about my hair for the first time in MY ENTIRE LIFE! =]]

[MissTina]

Ok I had to look at your pics three times, repeatedly telling myself to focus on your "giant forehead" now as you call it, but I kept getting lost in your eyes lol. You got issues, there is nothing wrong with your forehead :) You have a nicely shaped nose and an overall pleasing appearance. I'd lose that beard but I see you're clinging to it lol. All in all a very handsome man :)

[rthomas43]

Lol after the responses I've received, I've decided to stop worrying about my forehead.

Thank you very much :)

[Lauren2410]

You look great with the new haircut! :) Maybe trim the beard, but I saw that you're keeping it for 4 more months lol. Maybe get it like this! Looks hot:whoneedsacape.com/.../NoShaveTrimmedBeard.jpg
or this :i1.ytimg.com/vi/a8uvTAuxV7s/maxresdefault.jpg

[rthomas43]

I'll give it a try this November :p

[PinkAcid]

Your hair looks great now but your beard doesn't quite match anymore, try something a little shorter like this?

menfash.com/.../Beard-Styles-for-men.jpg

[knotme]

No his beard is fine

[PinkAcid]

Opinions differ.

[WhiteSteve]

You look sharp, bruh. Like the short hair/bushy beard contrast. "Oh... did I accidentally get the tris and delts in the shot?" I see you, player. Haha...

[rthomas43]

Fresh haircut, just got home from the gym. Can you blame me? I was feeling gooood lol

[WhiteSteve]

I ain't mad at ya. Can't let that pump go to waste... Photo op!

[kambo_trick3y]

You look good man.

www.123inspiration.com/.../batman-thumb.jpeg

[rthomas43]

Haha I always love your pics/gifs.

[Anonymous_Mysterious]

I like them both but honestly I prefer the after one (the shorter one) (: You look good now but maybe try shave your beard because it doesn't match the new hair. Other than that you're very handsome (:

[rthomas43]

Beard is staying ;)

Thank you :)

[wolf-girl]

dude, I thought you were very skinny, I'm impressed to see that body. your hair looks good, maybe better short.

[rthomas43]

I have one of those skinny body faces? lol

And thank you =]

[chidude]

Yeah, it looks good. don't know with the beard now though, dude. I'd hate to suggest to cut that legendary beard.

[rthomas43]

Haha I'd shave every guy on the top of my head before I trim Reginald

[Daniel121]

What are you kidding me? After is far better, before you look like a hobo

[rthomas43]

Like, a cool and hip hobo? =p

[Victoria14]

i think it looks great! i like it a lot better now than in the before picture... and i like your beard haha

[rthomas43]

Thank you very much :)

[Victoria14]

you're very welcome :)

[MiraR]

Better but youd look a hell of a lot sexier if you trim your beard. ;)

[rthomas43]

Ain't happening doll ;)

[MiraR]

Haha well just my opinion :)

[GamerGirl71618]

It looks great! Really clean cut. :D Perhaps a little beard trimming and it would look a little better in my opinion. C=

[rthomas43]

Thank you for the input! :)

Not touching the beard though ;)

[still_waiting]

I like the short hair better. You're attractive both ways tho. The beard would look better trimmed tho.

[rthomas43]

I'll sacrifice my looks for the beard :p

Thank you :)

[still_waiting]

Your welcome. And you don't have a big forehead by the way

[rthomas43]

I do t get how I'm the only one that sees that lol

[still_waiting]

You see flaws others don't lol. Its human nature

[rthomas43]

Fuck it. I'll listen to y'all and quit worrying about it :)

[Oddhonesty]

You look great ^_^ Beards are epic so it just adds to the awesomeness.

[rthomas43]

Thank you for not suggesting I trim it haha

[sorayaelena]

Looks really good! Maybe trim up the beard a bit though.

[rthomas43]

Thank you cutie :)

Beards stays though haha

[sorayaelena]

the beard is great. but think of it like a bush.. you want to trim it to even its ends haha

[rthomas43]

Growing a yeard. Not allowed to trim for 4 more months :p

[Cleveland]

I like both, but the shorter do looks hot!

Good call:)

[rthomas43]

Thank you for the positive words.
You're also quite the looker yourself =]

[zombiebabe]

you look much better with the new haircut dude... but you could get your beard trimmed

[rthomas43]

Not touching the beard for 4 more months :p

[zombiebabe]

okay dude.. what float your boat :)

[TheNewClassic]

Soooooooo much better! Really like it, looks great!

[rthomas43]

Thank you, pretty woman :)

[yesmylove]

Looks way better than your old long hair. You would also look like 10x better if you cut that beard of yours. Beards are nice but not that long.

[rthomas43]

Can't trim it for 4 more months haha

[yesmylove]

Four months o.0? Why

[Mesonfielde]

Now you look like the guy who used to live in the other room in this flat I'm renting, haha.

It's good! I think you look more like a badass now.

[rthomas43]

"More like a badass"
Implying that my hobo look had some amount of badassery about it? Lo

[Mesonfielde]

I don't think you want to be this guy: www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1040340-should-i-have-actually-tried-to-be-their-best-bf-ever-i-used-pump
(check out my answer there, it should be the first on the list, and it would be equally valid in your scenario)

[Mesonfielde]

DAMMIT this is the wrong question I'm sorry XD

[Mesonfielde]

This answer was meant to be for www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1050539-girls-didn-t-like-me-in-school-how-do-i-avenge-myself if you're curious.

The "hobo" look reminds me of the guy from the Jon Tron Show for some reason - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LPQ6nT4UpA

[Rcjh1987]

I like the short hair better makes you look hotter not to mention the shirt you are wearing showing off your guns! ;-) sexy!!

[rthomas43]

Summertime!
Suns out guns out! :)

Thank you :)

[Rcjh1987]

Your welcome!!

[CastielsGirl]

You look awesome and handsome! you just need to trim that beard though to look a bit more tidy

[rthomas43]

Can't touch the beard, but thank you :)

[Anonymous]

Nice man

[rthomas43]

*high five*

[Opinion Owner]

I'm actually kind of mad. A bit about the hair, because mine gets curly when it gets longer and I hate it. And also about the beard- I grow facial hair like a Native American :

So fuck you very much, bro-beard

[rthomas43]

Hahahaha do natives have difficulties with facial hair?

I'll trade you beard for that sexy curly hair.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah, they hardly grow any at all lol. I mean, it's not all bad because mine grows in like a diablo where it's basically the mustache, the lip patch, and the chin bit already sculpted. But damn, that scruffy look is what I'll never have lol

Deal, hand over the beard and we'll make the exchange at the same time in neutral territory.

[rthomas43]

First off, that "Diablo" look is freaking badass lol.

Sure you're willing to make a deal with a white man? Hasn't worked out for your people in the past lol

[Opinion Owner]

It's alright and I guess I have the face for it, so all is not bad.

And I'm a whitey too lol. I just said that I grow hair like a Native American.

[rthomas43]

Funny thing is, I'm part Native lol

[Opinion Owner]

I'm sure I am in some way. I guess I kept whatever part it is more than the German or English sides... with their stupid, bushy beards :|

[Kris85]

Looks good!!! Very fresh!!

[rthomas43]

You're looking fresh yourself! =]

[findingdreamland]

Great! You look good!

[rthomas43]

Thank you, beautiful :)

[findingdreamland]

hahah you are welcome thank you too :)

[teasegirl]

I'm glad you kept the beard xD lol

[rthomas43]

It's here to stay haha

[teasegirl]

Good now give me MH

[rthomas43]

See, now I can't. I don't take orders :p

[teasegirl]

Please ;)

[PD030]

You sir, are very sexy. I like both haircuts.

[rthomas43]

You ma'am, are very kind.

Thank you :)

[musicbrain5]

It looks way better! I'm trying to grow mine lol.

[rthomas43]

Grow your hair or beard? =p

[musicbrain5]

Both, actually. I'm really the Bearded Lady.

lol nahhhhh, just my hair :D

[rthomas43]

You would look hot with a beard ;]

Good luck growin' =]

[musicbrain5]

The only problem now is that it's summer and the long hair is fucking hot. Even if I tie it up.

[rthomas43]

Stop whining. My whole face is covered in it. It's not that bad =p

[musicbrain5]

I'm not used to it! This is the first time in 10 years that my hair has grown past my shoulders.

[Stacyzee]

You look better and a lot cleaner.

[rthomas43]

That's what I was going for =]

[thunthunthun]

Dudeee, you look great!

[rthomas43]

Thank you very much ma'am =]

[thunthunthun]

You're welcome! =D

[icantwait]

You look like you are from Austin

[rthomas43]

Haha what makes you say that?

And close!
Houston.

[icantwait]

A good thing in my opinion and just because I know a lot of people from there and thats kind of the trending style. I hate Houston ugh lol but where I'm at not a whole lot better xD

[rthomas43]

Where are you?

And yeah, Houston sucks. Thankfully, I live in the suburbs =]

[icantwait]

Okay lol the burbs are much better. Any chance you know if the funplex is still open?

I'm in the heart of dfw >_<

For now at least
Fortunately there's a ton of cool people to make it not so bad

[rthomas43]

Never heard of the Funplex, but a quick google search it is still open haha
Used to live her?

Fuck that. Too cold up there! haha

[icantwait]

Oh badass! To cold? XD

Winter time is brutal here but god the humidity down there D:

No never lived. Just partied a lot out there

[icantwait]

Oh and Galveston, been there plenty

[rthomas43]

Fuck this humidity. Tired of sweating all the time. Can't wait to move!

Ohh Galveston. Impossible to go there without something interesting happening haha.

[icantwait]

The humidity is killer. I'm looking towards the Ozarks or Colorado if I don't end up leaving the country all together lol

Totally agree about Galveston xD fun tines there , weird ones too

[rthomas43]

Colorado is on my list of potential settling grounds. Never been there, but I've never heard a bad thing about the place. Will probably end up moving to Seattle though.

And it's bound to happen when you have tourists interacting with the ghetto ass locals haha

[icantwait]

Actually Seattle is on my list too. Its in there air though cause it rains so much and cold. Colorado I love, lived there, family there, and friends there. Its super dry an hard to breath but its excellent over all. Tons of work too.

I've got a buddy in Seattle, says its awesome up there but prefers the company down south. Over all seems like a great place though

[BertMacklinFBI]

ahhaha looks good man

[rthomas43]

Thanks brah!

[questioner1991]

Looks great! Badabababa I'm loving it!

[rthomas43]

Was that a McDonald's catchphrase reference?

[questioner1991]

maybe...

[rthomas43]

Touche =]

Thank you =] haha

[Mark-Ego-Almencion]

like the shorter one and the beard look great.
you're the man...

[Anonymous]

Way better. You're forehead isn't even that big. The before reminds me of a typical "I live in my moms basement" guy.

[rthomas43]

Damn, glad I cut it off then lol

[Theguywhomadeurday]

After bro definitely after...
Hahaha
Now you are rocking and some of triceps too. 😃

[rthomas43]

I can't look at your avi anymore. Every time I start to feel good about my body, I see yours and I feel tiny again haha

[rgb008]

I think it looks good!

[rthomas43]

Thank you =]]

[Soloist01]

Doesn't matter you look bad ass either way just never shave the beard ever

[Anonymous]

I didn't even notice the "giant" forehead. You look good! :)

[rthomas43]

Thank you :)

[alexaababiie]

I like it but the beard is too much maybe if you were to cut it but not shave it all the way probably a gold t

[rthomas43]

Can't touch it for a few more months lol

[alexaababiie]

Lol hope it doesn't grow too long haha

[Freebird2014]

Looks good but i would shave the beard

[rthomas43]

Woaaaaa. Beard is staying haha

[PLLFan21]

Looks a lot better :]

[rthomas43]

Thank you :)

[PLLFan21]

You are welcome :)

[Vegvisir]

a lot better, you look less like aethelstan now

[rthomas43]

Gracias, sir.

Who is that though? lol

[Vegvisir]

cdn.history.com/.../...2_gallery_athelstan-AB.jpeg

A character from the show vikings :P

[rthomas43]

If I looked remotely close to that before, I regret cutting my hair lol

[Vegvisir]

The new cut looks better though, it looks really clean/tidy

[rthomas43]

Should come in handy trying to get a job!

Thanks for the feedback, bro.

[Anonymous]

I like it! You look good

[rthomas43]

Thank you :)

[queen-b]

After is much better , keep it that way

[rthomas43]

Thank you :)

[kiichi]

nice.. nice.. you look great !

[rthomas43]

Gracias! :)

[Dcosse]

Well damn.

[rthomas43]

Is that a "Damn, you shouldn't have done that", or a "Damn, it looks good!"? lol

[Dcosse]

That's a "Well damn" in the best of ways sir.

[rthomas43]

In that case I thank you, in the best of ways =p

[knotme]

Its ok I guess.

[rthomas43]

Prefer it longer?

[knotme]

My opinion matters not. You just didn't listen

[rthomas43]

The long hair was just getting to be too much to take care of. And it was starting to get scraggly.

[knotme]

Damn.. well it seems girls are hot for you, since I've been down voted. Haha

Girls calm down.

[rthomas43]

That'll teach you ;] haha

[knotme]

I could care less. Spank me and call fuck off

[rthomas43]

Not sure what you were trying to say there, but I got a "spank me" out of that, so whatever it is, I'm in.

[knotme]

:p…………

[ThatNerdyIndianGirl]

So much better! :)

[rthomas43]

Best compliment I've ever received. That man's beard is straight EPIC.

[ImCoasting]

Your faces are similar too.

[rthomas43]

I'll gladly take him as my doppleganger over some of the other celebrities people have suggested lol

[NoblesseOblige]

Not short enough. Buzz it and be a scary biker :D

[rthomas43]

Not going for scary. Going for "I wanna hit dat".

[NoblesseOblige]
