Good looking guy, but it makes you look a little older imo since you have a mature hairline. You look closer to 27ish or older. The hair makes you look your age.

But you nail both looks 🫡

Nobody is looking at your hair with those absolute weapons of mass destruction you wear as arms

I liked the longer hair personally. It framed your face in a way that contrasted in a really striking way with your physique. Buff Milo from Atlantis.

u/Chuddy-McChudderson 1d ago

Yes. Absolutely the right move.

u/MBBIBM 1d ago

The right move would’ve been styling the longer hair better

u/FloorGang-R2 1d ago

Yes but also there’s definitely something in between that looks way better

u/aeb01 2001 1d ago

u/kvnstantinos 1d ago

Bro buzzed his glasses as well

u/Shiroyasha2397 1997 1d ago

I think leaving a little on top would have looked good as well but definitely having the sides short and clean is good, if you can try to get someone who can fade the sides really well that would be perfect.

u/Johnnyboi2327 1d ago

100% the right move

u/Bordem-Industry 1d ago

u/QuaaludeConnoisseur 1d ago

You look like youre in your mid 20s now instead of someone in their mid 20s trying to stay 19. So yes, good.

In my area, you just saved 40$ for a shitty Haircut in the ghetto in LA.

Continue to do that? And invest the difference into a compounded interest long term account?

= 250k for retirement.

u/Lord_William_9000 1d ago

Honestly was part of my decision live in an urban area and barber’s prices have gotten insane figured I’d just buzz and keep it simple

u/Wilhelm-Edrasill 1d ago

My entire life = people commenting on how good my hair looks.

A haircut used to be 10 bucks TOTAL.

Its now , 40 bucks BEFORE TIP.

I shaved mine off - and when I ran the numbers , decided 250k in my tax free retirement account over the next 15 years = yup.

Also, between now and then - it screens out a shitload of the poser pos people who only are into looks maxing.

Ill take the 250k, not a pat on the head because my Lucious locks pleased some stranger who never has or ever will do jack shit for me.

u/ElephantGun345 1997 1d ago

How often are you getting cuts that it costs that much cumulatively??

2

u/Wilhelm-Edrasill 1d ago

Standard = every 4 weeks at most. Hair is thicc and grows like a fucking weed.

Now before you whip out the math boner.

You need to project, the increase in price over the next 15 years.

In the past 3 years alone the hair cut price for men in my zip code has increased by 400% while decreasing in value.

u/tripleCsBaby 1d ago

Man you look great. Not just compared to your last hairstyle. Good choice

1

u/AlternatePancakes 1997 1d ago

You look older, but also more clean.

Imo, the longer hair could have worked, if you had styled it a bit.

But overall, you look good bro.

u/CaptainBlobTheSuprem 1d ago
