Hi Reddit
Hi Reddit
Im a 39 year old with grey hair and blue eyes. Ive been a hair stylist for 9 years, and have been for over 10 for being hired by a preschool. I cut my hair for 9 years straight, and have never looked back. I am very open about it, and have even told people I have a problem with it. Ive dated 3 girls, 3 of which ended up liking me. My hair has gotten so long that it now runs almost to my knees, and I can barely walk without having to brace myself from the side.\n\nI would like to start a discussion about hair loss, and if it is something you would want to talk about with your partner, or if you just want to rant about the hair standard in general. I really don’t want to scare people off with the topic, but I did want to get it out of my system. Let’s keep it clean.

Hey, I'm the last of us on this sub. I've been on reddit all year, and am currently in my final year of my bachelor's degree in Computer Science at my alma mater, Cornell. I love to post content on /r/talesofdevil, and I've had the pleasure for the last few months to get me down and dirty.
I need some advice from you guys. My dad passed away in 2018 so he hasn’t seen my 5 year old since February.\Kaiser has been with the family since February and has been with him almost everyday when he was in school. So I’m just wondering if there is anything out there you guys would recommend for me. He’s a kind of a gray and I don’t want to sound rude but it makes me uncomfortable that he would want to talk to someone who isn’t his dad. Like I could talk to him and my mom would be fine but then my dad would be like “well done” and that bothers me. He’s been a good dad to my mom and I know I could do better.
I know it's not the first time you have read this, but please if you can join me by leaving a comment below. This is something I want to do for the whole community and for the future because I feel it is important for men to feel confident in themselves and to be seen as equal members of society. It comes from my understanding of the ways that society has historically framed gender, and how that framing has affected our brains and ultimately how we see the world.\n\nI would like to start off by saying thank you to everyone here for taking time out of your day to answer these questions. Being a dad is awesome, and I love learning about all of you and your perspectives. Being a retriever myself, having a conversation with a man about gender really opened my eyes to the ways in which gender has been socially constructed. I would love to know if this is something you have been on the hunt for, or if you have found it for you yourself. Thank you to all of you, I hope you intensely enjoyed reading this. \n\nWith regards to the title, I am a guy who works with boys and girls. When I say I work with boys, I mean that from the start of my career, as a teenager in the 90s I worked as a hair stylist, model, and head of hair for many years. As I gained more experience and became more confident in my craft, I also gained the confidence to be myself. That being said, I have always been interested in being a part of this community and wanted to come here and share my experiences with a mostly male audience. I have done my best to be candid and honest with this because I want to help other men feel confident in their own existence, be they a boy or a girl. \n\nI am a father of boys and a middle school teacher. I have always felt that as a man I should be handling my own gender transition like a man, talking to my wife about how she should present herself in the bathroom, brushing her teeth, etc. But what I did not prepare was talking to my wife about what being a dad was going to mean for her, her family, and her friends.\n\nShe has friends that are girls and they all transitioned at different times in their lives. Some have boys and some have girls. Some have boys kids and some don't. I just didn't know until after she had kids, when she was still in her early 20s, that it was going to be so different for everyone. And it's made me wonder if friends who had kids and didn't, how they handled the change.\n\nHas anyone else felt like they were left out or left behind because they weren't gender specific? Or was it just a personal preference?
I'm a 20yo man who works with a young, healthy, middle-class man. He came to me one day. A couple of months later he started getting sick. In 2014 he broke his back on a rollercoaster. He had surgery and spent 4 months in the hospital. He had a history of heart problems, but otherwise he's a normal healthy man. I had him fill out a form saying he was in pain from a fall. I asked him what he was doing and he said hepadentosis. I asked him if he knew about it. I asked him if he knew how to stop it and he said yes. I asked him if he wanted to try. I asked him what he was doing and he said that he was going to a doctor. I asked him if he knew how to make it stop. He said he didn't. Afterward he became very angry.\n\nI offered to help and I said that I could ask my wife. She said that she'd get him some medical advice. Well that night I woke up with him in bed.\n\nI grabbed some tissues and started wiping his eyes.\n\nI asked him if he needed any medical attention, and he said he did not. I offered to help and he said he did not need any medical help. I asked him if he wanted some medical attention, and he said he didn't. I asked him if his throat felt tight and he said it did. I asked him what he was doing and he said that he was "bending his neck." I asked him if he wanted a doctor. He said he didn't. I asked him if he had any medical issues. He said he had some swelling in his lower back. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was "bending his neck" and that he was getting ready to perform some exercises. Later that night I saw him lying on the floor. His back was to me. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was "bending his neck." I asked him if he wanted to see what it was. He said Wow! It was a snake skin bikini! I asked him if it was real, and he said it was. I asked him if he could undo the hooks on it. He said that it was a bit of a pain, but that he needed to fix it. I asked him where he wanted it to go.
Oh man this is so funny. I don't know if I would be a good answer. I don't think that I could be as bald as the bearded guy but it would be great to know the answer!
I’m a middle-aged, white, middle-class dad of two boys (5 & 2). I work with them in my occupation (university teaches creative writing and listening), and I work remotely with them on projects. In the past, I’ve worked with them on projects in school, in my job, and sometimes at home. However, the last three years have been extremely challenging on my part. They are both extremely shy and mute, and they haven’t been talking to each other as much as they used to. It was really hard for me to consider working with them full-time, as I want to be a great dad to them.\n\n\nNow that they are older, and with social media, I see that they are starting to realize that it’s not what they thought when they started working with me. They are very withdrawn, and I have noticed their interest in hooking up more. I know it’s normal, but I wanted to dive a little deeper into why I think it’s happening. What helped me see it, and how I can help them. AMA!
Is there anyone here that's experienced it too? I've had it in my life.\n\nDo you know any other guys who have it too?\n\nIs it even worth mentioning?
Well this is interesting, I have a friend who worked in sales for a few years and is a bit older than me so that seems plausible
I work as a hair stylist for an international clientele and have a pretty good working relationship with my hair stylist. It's not a high stress job, we get a lot of value out of our time.\n\nHowever, this past week I went to my stylist for a few hours and my hair started to take on a life of its own. I can't pinpoint why this happened, but I do feel like it's very concerning. The way my hair is currently held in, it's become sort of loose like it was on a beach. It's not a problem for my professional life, I've not had any issues at all with it. However, the urge to cackle and the need to shake hands with my stylist really eats at me. It's not an unpleasant thing for me personally, but I feel like if I put my foot down and let my hair down, then this trend will continue.\n\nI've noticed a shift in the clients I work with, where they don't seem to care that you have a bald head. The blonde, brunette, and other tones aren't as sought after. I've also noticed that the more attractive the hair is going, the lower the price tag goes. If you have a short hair, this is no issue, but if you go super long it becomes a huge cost issue for your company.\n\nI feel like if I just cut it a little, it'll come out better, but I go to great lengths not to cut my hair. It takes away any desire for me to act as a father or man.\n\nI just want to know what I can do to help make this better for myself and my hair stylist.
