Today, I got a new haircut. I was feeling pretty confident, until coworkers and family members kept making comments like, "I think you gained a little weight", "You look older" and "Do you still like guys?" Apparently, my new haircut changed my waist size and my sexual orientation. FML

Today, after growing my hair out for over a year and constantly being told that it makes me look like a girl, I finally cut it. The first thing my friends said when they saw me was that I now look like a "lesbian." FML

Today, I was excited about showing off my new haircut. All my friends thought it looked really good and it made me look older. What did my boyfriend think? He said I look like a little girl and he was afraid to kiss me in public because he didn't want someone to think he was a pedophile. FML

Mistaken identity

Today, after cutting my hair and shaving, I had girls hitting on me for the first time ever! Too bad they thought I was a butch lesbian, not a man. FML

Shaved

Today, fed up with my nerdy appearance, I got my hair shaved off, hoping for a Walter White kind of look. I didn't think it was too bad, but not even an hour later, I'd already been called a "fat Bruce Willis" and compared to a freshly circumcised penis. FML

Today, everyone at work commented on how much better my new haircut looked and how I should keep styling it this way as it's such an improvement over my old style. I was late for work this morning. My new hair style was Bed hair that I didn't have time to sort out... FML

Today, I got a haircut. During dinner, my grandmother complained about it, and said I looked terrible. I've had the exact same haircut for years. FML

Today, I decided to go get my hair cut because it was getting a bit long. I told the lady that I wanted it way short and she replied "Why? You will look like a guy sweetie." I am a guy. FML

Today, I was talking to a friend and bemoaning the fact that my new coworkers keep mixing up my gender. She looked at me critically and said, "Yeah, until you can grow a decent beard, people are going to keep thinking you're an intern or a butch lesbian." FML

Today, after years of being too self-conscious to do anything big with my appearance, I finally got an undercut. My best friend went on a rant about how I "ruined" how I look and now she can't be seen with me, because we "look mismatched together." Looks like I'm back to being self-conscious. FML

Who just asks someone "Do you still like guys?" That's pretty rude. FYL

If you like it, ignore the others. You do you.

that really sucks, as if something other than yourself should define what sexuality you are. (imo i will never like most guys haha)

I can maybe understand the weight comments because with shorter hair, your face is more exposed and can look more round. But "Do you still like guys?"- really? It's stupid people still think that due to one's sexuality, they can only look a certain way. Don't mind them much, OP. You think you look good and that's all that matters here.

Similar thing happened to me: I cut my hair from the middle of my back to chin length and people at work kept hinting at me that I needed to lose weight. I couldn't figure it out because I hadn't gained any weight, but I was talking about it with my friend, who pointed out my hair as a possibility. I got extensions and the comments immediately stopped. Short hair somehow causes the illusion on some people that they're bigger than they actually are.

You wear your hair any way that you like and everyone else can **** off.

I cut my very long hair very short and dyed my hair very red, and posted a pic to FB. My brother commented, "Do they cut strait girls hair at that salon?" To which I replied. "No bro. Just lesbians." He was like, "what?????!!!!!" I never have a good comeback, but for once I did!

Is it a Bruce Jenner haircut like Meg & Lois from Family Guy? If so I can understand other peoples confusion...but then what do they know. Sometimes shorter hair does make a woman look heavier, just because the longer hair detracted from everything else...just saying, not trying to be a jerk.
