"You should grow your hair out longer" lol
 

I've gotten two compliments on my haircut from random strangers this week. I'm used to a few compliments here and there.... and then there's my coworker this week who's a sweet, korean lady about 25 years older than me. I laughed cause she said, "You should grow your hair out longer, I like longer hair. Grow it out please!".

She's too sweet and too naive for me to get into a discussion about what being butch is all about. She's the kind of woman that hears a curse word from someone and audibly gasps in horror.

Still... she's quirky and fun and I'm cool with it lol. Just sharing randomness lol. :)

Being butch is all about having short hair?

Oh boy, are you setting yourself up for some ass whooping. LOL...

Words

LOL... I am smiling and laughing-- My natural hair is LONG, like 36 inches long.
I wear wigs for a short hair 'look'... I posted a picture of me with a very short wig on FB and I had 3 emails then a phone call... all to find out if I had really cut my hair. 'NO' LOL... when Betty Boop, Mrs. Brady, June Cleaver (Leave it to Beaver) and the Mom, from Father Knows Best. (the list could go on forever)
All become butch icons, then maybe... MAYBE, ... short hair will make someone butch.

at least she's not saying you should be married lol (the heterosexual way). or asking why not, and why no kids lol.

we must not forget the butch helped make the mullet a hot trend LOL.

i do know quite a few butches with longer hair. mine is about on my shoulders. but no mullet lol.

good for you on the cool haircut, cuddles. looking good!

Poor Cuddles, in all fairness, short hair is more a butch trend. Now, I'm gonna get my hand slapped for NOT being diverse, and I do know there are butch folks with LONG hair, but....still. I get your post.

And I love you sister Pricessbelle! muah.

ooo no princessbelle! say it ain't so! lol

i'm sure there are lots of butches that can make a mullet look sexy, indeed.

the percentage is for sure high, ... more butches with short hair. surely to goodness.

LOL

I was sort of thinking the same thing...

Cause this femme like the #3 guard on her clippers and don't forget the neck... While her butch wears her hair just about to the middle of her back... (when I'm not cutting on it..heheh)

But the sun is shining, I'm not at work, and I understood that the butch in question was talking about what is butch for her/him....

I have extremely short hair but it has nothing to do with my identity. I simply hate having more than the minimum amount of hair.

lather.rinse.repeat.
 

workin on a combover.. back to front... grinz

I should have said "what being butch is all about TO ME (as in my personal preference for ME)"... my apologies.

No and you should all not take what I said personal either. It was a comment directed at me about a random encounter with my co-worker.

thank you, cuddles. for sharing with us. always. i love a sense of humor. :rrose:

My director is Japanese and every time she sees me... She says "Ju please grow out your hair." "I like long hair." And just as a side note: Short Hair is not a butch thing! Short hair is simply that. Short Hair!!! Being Butch is not about how short you wear your hair... It's more about who you are inside. If that were the case, you might as well just call me butch. I have been completely bald - crew cut - flat top and now this length.

Julie (Just call me Butch).

I didn't read the OP as stating that being butch is all about... short hair--I did read her as saying that she didn't want to have a conversation with a co-worker about what *butch* means.

Am I way off?
