A question for the ladies

[reveal]

Could be. And I won't argue with that; even the most hideous man alive can find himself happily married to someone, IMO. Although he has to work a lot harder to get there than someone who obviously cares about his appearance.

But I dislike it when folks will try to tell me that appearance literally doesn't matter at all; I don't believe that. There's a lot of really nice guys who don't get dates very often.

Of course, maybe by personality, she meant confidence and willingness to put yourself out there and ask for a date--that matters a lot too, and lots of guys, especially geeky ones, tend to struggle in that regard.

I'm where I am today solely because of my looks.

tell her you might consider cutting your hair after she sleeps with you. Completely casual; she's got a boyfriend, you've got employee rules, etc., but that's what it'll take.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! Great advice.

I guess what 'Kat said was through rose colored glasses. It was a bit to optimistic for me. The reality is is that people are that shallow. Looking back on it, I find it kind of funny that of all of my "packaging" the girl I work with chose my hair. Maybe if I smiled. Or talked to people. Or smiled when I talked to people. Dressed in something else besides black (no I am not goth). It's the presentation. I as just hoping I was being overly pessimistic when I asked the question.

Oh yeah, changed my avatar to that pic of me dressed like Jesus. Observe and despair. Or just get angry 'cause it's not a very good pic. Your choice.

Yes, now you've got it. Now, go change your life based on a paragraph or two of advice from some random guys on the Internet that you met on a D&D message board. Trust me; you'll be glad you did.

If I did what you said, changing my life and all, then I would have truly learned nothing. It would be no better than cutting my hair just because some silly little girls said so. Give me proof, pie charts, petitions, and what not. Then I would consider it. I have always understood what I needed to do, but I just never saw anything worth changing for. I am not a lemming.

For those of you looking at the pic below, yes that is a crown of thorns. It was not fun to wear for eight hours.

Well, if there's one thing the magic of the intarweb is good for, it's never having to say "I should try that just to see what it looks like".

For some reason, whenever I saved that pic of me it always turned B&W. I have another pic of me dressed like Jesus and playing with the puzzlebox from Hellraiser.

Hello, I am a guy with long blonde hair. It's about 6 inches down my shoulders. So it's fairly long for a guy these days. A girl I work with is always trying to get me to do something with it. You know, highlights and whatnot. I really don't care much for that kind of stuff, so I don't plan going through all the effort for something I don't care for. Last week this girl takes it a step further, she told me "it would be really sexy if you cut your hair" and "You would be waist deep in chicks if you did." Now, it's not like I don't take care of my hair. I keep it in good order. This is my question, is this true? Has this been what I what I've been doing wrong? Is all I needed to do is just cut my hair to my jaw line? Or is this just the opinion of some silly girl trying to make me into something she wants?

FYI i have had my hair long since I was 13 and I am 23 now.

ask the man named Samson about sharing/accepting beautician secrets w/women

Want some advice?
After having seen both pictures (your own and Impeesa's) I have reached the following conclusion:
Cut your hair. I'm not talking crew cut here, but you can get some pretty good looking mid-length style going on.
Replace the glasses, either with contacts or with more up to date ones, e.g. more rectangular ones. They'll fit your face better.
Get rid of that scraggly almost-a-beard on your chin. Face it, it's not going to get any better looking and it's none too pretty as it is. Plus you definately have the facial structure to go completely clean shaven.
I can almost promise you that if you do the above you'll get much more female attention.

I agree.
