Hair

Summer--the time when I remind myself I like long hair because I can get it all out of the way, but I wonder if a buzz cut would be easier. Then I remind myself that that might send the wrong message. Then I wonder if that actually matters.

Oh. I didn't see that angle.

I thought you meant that people would assume that you're a lesbian.

Given that you seem happily married and (so far as I know) not poly, I didn't think it would matter.

Maybe you need a T-Shirt that reads "Not cancer, just hot" and let folks puzzle over that double entendre instead.

Actually, I saw four possibilities--
1) cancer
2) lesbian
3) man (I'm tall enough, I don't wear makeup, I'm generally wearing men's clothes anyway)
4) recent relationship breakup

When I had my head shaved, no one assumed I had cancer, but lots of folks seemed to think I was a man. Or maybe a pudgy 13-year-old (at 5'5", I'd be a pretty short guy).

And this would bother you why, exactly? Oh noes, random strangers on the street might mistake you for one of the awesomest kind of people on the planet? O, the Horrors!

Or do you worry about other women hitting on you? You wear a wedding ring. Anyone who would see that and still make Unwanted Advances at you is a shite, regardless of sex, gender, or affectional preference.

No, the only real question you should ask when contemplating ye olde buzz cut is: "Is my head funny-shaped?"

Generally speaking, I try to avoid misrepresenting myself.

And, I suppose, there's a whole freight of expectations that go along with that that I don't think I live up to.

(Side note: Actually, in summer I frequently don't wear a wedding ring--my hands get too swollen for it. Blech. I hate summer.)
