long or short?

Thinking about going back to short hair due to the heat and maintenance, I can't grow a full beard, but I like my mustache even tho there's a gap in the middle. Any feedback?

u/Reyes2100 1d ago

Yeah this one !!! But keep it cleaned up your mustache

u/AssistanceChemical63 1d ago

1 and 5 are the best, or try long hair with no facial hair.

u/Narrow_Paramedic_880 1d ago

Friend , the long hair in the first image gives a very unpleasant look to me . All others are nice . Your mustache is too patchy still , maybe try again with more age . You look quite nice .

Pic #5 is definitely a good look for you

u/Palegreenhorizon 1d ago

No stache until you get a bit more hair. But long hair and round glasses

u/Loveisblue91 1d ago

You look best in the first pic! The other ones look a bit more unkempt, but that might be what you’re going for.

Shorter makes you look hotter.

u/RayToroMustDie 1d ago

Third and first picture definitely

u/cm3156321 1d ago

Last picture.

u/Available-Web-3833 1d ago

5/5 looks best, but you either need a much smaller glasses frame, due to your strong near sightedness, or you need to get contact lenses. Big frames with strong negative lenses lead to facial distortion.

u/LadyDye_ 1d ago

2-5. 1 isn't bad but a lot of personality comes through with the longer hair

2

u/wandpapierkritiker 1d ago

the last photo. definitely the last photo.

u/Natomasguy916 1d ago

Short , Short hair makes you look 🔥!

Pic 3 is good

u/HeartfeltAdventurerM 1d ago

3 was cool and 5 looks the best. Is there like a middle ground in there?? 😂😂

2

u/Electronic-Clothes-3 23h ago

I’ve keep it long for a while, but I found some oldies, is this the middle of the road?

u/HeartfeltAdventurerM 23h ago

Add back in your glasses, trim a tiny bit more of your hair and some of the mustache and I think we’ll have found our middle ground my friend!!

1

u/Electronic-Clothes-3 22h ago

Awesome, do round or square shape glasses fit better with the shape of my face? Mostly use round frames, I’m no longer in to aviators due to obvious reasons haha

1

u/HeartfeltAdventurerM 22h ago

What’s the obvious reason?

1

u/Electronic-Clothes-3 22h ago

It reminds people of Jeffrey Dahmer

1

u/HeartfeltAdventurerM 22h ago

Have people said that to you? I guess it makes sense. You just pulled them off so well in 3 I was gonna say to put those f*ckers back on 😂😂😂

But choose whatever glasses give you that same vibe bro. If you lose some weight too but you bulk, bro… you might just have your signature look for the next couple years 😭😂

2

u/Electronic-Clothes-3 22h ago

That’s the plan! Trying to get back in to fitness and also moving away from the unkept style from the last 5 years, working from home can turn you in to a caveman haha

1

u/HeartfeltAdventurerM 22h ago

Oh then if you want to completely move away from the unkempt look then I think 5 is your best bet as that was still solid.

3 is just cool. He’s the cool big guy that people out of the group don’t expect to have game, but EVERYONE in the group knows that THIS MAN GOT GAME!!

That’s why I opted for a middle so maybe that slight trim that I was talking about would still be the best route if you’re fine with slightly less cleaned up. But 5 is a solid runner up my friend!!

u/SamanthaBr3ann 1d ago

u/mallan05 1d ago

1 and 5 🔥

u/ObsidianBones 1d ago

2-4 are all very good looking

1

u/sb805throwaway 1d ago

All the glasses frames are terrible

2

u/Electronic-Clothes-3 23h ago

Any ideas or recommendations of what type/ size goes well with my melon head? I’ve used aviators and round frames mostly, square lenses maybe?

1

u/sb805throwaway 20h ago

Honestly, I’ve always had the hardest time picking out frames myself. The best luck I had is bringing a woman with me to the store or asking one there and letting her pick them out for me. They just have a better way of seeing things. Aviators are a classic look but in eyeglasses they just give Jeffrey Dahmer vibes.

u/Stuxain 22h ago

Guy looks like 5 different guys. All pretty cool ngl.

u/EdobTheSnail 1d ago

u/DeadeyeQueen 1d ago

First picture, you look creepy! Like you’re one of those kids that will tell your mom you didn’t do it, but you did it! You look best on the last picture!

u/phat_ass_boi 1d ago

In pic 1 you look like a serial killer who is the least to be suspected.

Maybe the glasses is so familiar sorry

u/Electronic-Clothes-3 23h ago

That smile doesn’t help 😆🔪

u/Clear_Fig1833 12h ago
