Short & The Haircut

I go through this thing every six months or so where I grow my hair out then subsquently chop it all off. And by chopping it all off I mean going from shoulder length to a near buzzcut. What happens is I have short hair and I'm happy with how low maintenance it is then slowly but surely I'm honestly driven insane by the amount of people who mistake me for a boy because of said haircut and how I like to dress. Despite the fact I have size 36 D breasts. So I grow my hair out and for awhile I'm happy because I'm no longer being called sir. Then the length starts to drive me crazy and I chop it all off again.

And the cycle goes on and on and on and you get the point.

This Saturday I decided to fall into my predictable habits and had my hair cut super short again. I told the girlfriend what I was doing but I don't think she really understood what I meant when I said short because when I got back from seeing my hairdresser she just gaped at me and exclaimed, "I thought you were just getting it cut short!"

I stared at her and touched the fuzzy back of my head and said, "This is short."

She waved her hands dumbly at me and exclaimed, "Really short!"

"Yeah, I said I was cutting it short," I replied.

More staring and gaping and then she wandered away talking to herself. She's far too nice to say it out loud but I think it's safe to assume she hates the short haircut. Which somehow doesn't upset me. It almost amuses me and makes me want to keep it short. Because I'm evil. And I do like it short. I just hate being mistaken for a boy because I quite like being a woman and posessing a vagina and breasts and wish for other people to at least acknowledge I have them if not appreciate them visually.

I wonder if it's possible to break up with someone over a haircut? lol. It would be the funniest thing ever to ruin a relationship. "I'm sorry... I just can't take your haircut!" Heh.

Well, now you have an excuse to start acting stereotypically butch...

Now to go into male 'solve all the problems' mode, the ideal goal is to find a length you can live with, and keep it there. Somewhere between where it was Friday, and where it is now.

Anyhow, it sucks that she doesn't like it. Short hair is one awesome thing about being a guy in summer. Now you have to come by so we can see.

My wife just asked me to buzz her hair as short as I could. If it were any shorter I would need to use a razor on it. I don't love her any less for doing it, in fact she is still my little cutie. She is afraid that now people will think she is butch, but I don't think that face of her will ever make her look butch. If someone were to leave them over a hair cut it would really make me wonder about their priorities. I mean hair grows back after all and short hair is more practical at times. Kim just wanted to try something different and I was not going to stop her. I think I'm due for a chop myself actually.

Well, I hope your girlfriend is not too taken back by your hair. It would be ashame to lose someone over something that simply.
