Female Opinion needed on style

Since everyone is giving their open opinions I would like to get a few from the girls. I am a guy and I have healthy, shiny, dark hair. I look like sergeant Carter if I cut my hair real short and it just stick up everywhere if I cut it kind of short. I like it longer and it looks better longer. I really love bob styles and I would really like to have my hair grow out and get it cut into a bob with bangs (bangs because do to an accident I have scars on my forehead). The problem is that everyone where I live (the south)thinks that bobs are for girls only. My stylist even says that a bob cut would suit my face and features. I had basically a layered bob just below my ears with bangs and loved it but friends and family really pressured me to cut it so I caved. What do you think about guys with bobs? And if girls can have the "short boy cuts" what is wrong with a guy having pretty hair in a bob style?

No matter what, you should be able to do what you want. You're right about the girls and their ultra short cuts. Back in the middle ages the men had hair that I think resembles bobs. Good luck.

Good luck.HateMyHair,I appreciate your opinioin/support. I actually do have a variation of the bob right now. It is cut up over my ears up about 1/2 inch and the rest is graduated layering with the shortest layers being about 4 inches long right now (I just got a trim two weeks ago) and the back is buzzed up a little underneath and the final length about1 1/2 inches below my ear lobes. I kinda like it but I sure wish that it was possible for me to get a real blunt cut chin length bob. I think that would be fabulous looking on me. Maybe someday before I turn old and grey.

I feel a woman should wear her hair how she wishes (and I an entitled to my opinion about how it looks but would never be intentionally cruel about giving it if asked), but I personally do not find super short hair on women very attractive with rare exception.> So why is that accepted and longer hair and pretty> styles not accepted on guys.As a man, do you really want to be perceived as "pretty"?>Girls express their masculine> side with their pants and suit and ultra short boy> cuts. Why can't people let guys express themsleves?Guys can and do. However, men and women are not merely the same with interchangeable sex organs! Many perceive a man's role as protector and wearing a haircut that may be perceived as feminine takes away from this role, which may also take away respect from him as a man.Just a thought.Jena
