Had long hair for years, cut it really short (3mm) and people (including friends GF's) are double taking at me with unsure looks and even saying I look intimidating?

93kg lean muscles at 5’9? You wot mate.

You look like the guy off prison break after seventeen meatball subs.

In all honesty, though, buzz cut can make you look like a bad boy, which is good. Never go past a number 2 myself

So I wasn’t imagining it! When I shaved my head the amount of girls who would randomly chat me up in the grocery store and whatnot skyrocketed, and I simultaneously got lots of “nervous” looks too from all sorts of people. I’m in my twenties. Very interesting.

Small world my dude, just did the shave myself a couple days back and have experienced everything you said as well. I imagine your friends are put off and chicks are paying more attention just because it goes against social norms for young folk.

Been shaving my head since 20, could never be bothered having hair again.

1. Law 45: Preach the need for change but never reform too much at once

2. Short hair shows intent. You long haired whites come off like hippy pussyos

3. The fact that you look more intimidating speaks to a woman's need for danger and mystery. Watch what they do, not what they say.

Damn this is interesting, been thinking about cutting my long hair myself. Is the goal to look intimidating though..?

I know the feeling bro, i got thinning i am 46, last year i shaved my head bald (man that does not fit me one bit) and i am close to 6 feet tall and 230 pounds, been hitting the gym for 33y.

I went to the grocery store and i was carrying eggs i was going through the isles, and this women looked at me like i was super scary and changed isles.

Then i got told many times that i look scary and intimidating with my hair cut that short even a buzz cut....

I let my hair grow a bit, but at some point we need to let it go, i tried fina, dut and minox and got serious side effect.

Im 5’8 80kg at 8%bf and look very intimidating with shaved or short hair and when i smile and show im not out to murder them they get even more tingles. The combination of looking really scary while also able to be warm is top tier tingles for women. It rubs them in both the ways they want most of the time

I've gone between short and long hair as well. When I have short hair I notice I get attention from a different crowd than with longer hair. Longer tends to bring out the drug/hippie/hipster/band chasers. Short the conservative blondes. It's all about your image and what you're comfortable with.

Long hair works if it's super-fine lion-like with a helluva volume, or if it's dreadlocks. If it's just long, with no volume, cut it.

Above applies to guys, obviously.

Men that look intimidating look more attractive tho. If you like it then keep it. I’m sure it looks great lol

I used to have long hair. 6 foot and enough bulk to look as if I have muscle. I moved to a rougher area. Fist fights with the neighbours rough.

Long hair doesn't go with fighting so I cut it short. With my hair too short to grab, I got less shit from the scallies. Didn't have another fight in the remaining 2 years I was there.

With long hair, people can think, often wrongly, that you will back off from a fight. With short hair, you look as if you might be able to handle yourself and get the benefit of the doubt.

Because you used to look like a chick and now you look like a man. People are legit not used to seeing you look like a man.

Wax your nuts instead. No stubble.
