I tried many things to look "more masculine" (even a full beard), but where ever I go people almost always tell me "Hello Ma'am" (then realize I'm a man and apologize) because they don't actually look at the person in front of them, they just see a silhouette at first. And if this silhouette has long hair, it must be a woman. The fact that my hair is light blond doesn't help either. So now I no longer try to look "more masculine". I'm just me and I'm very happy with it. I don't sport a manbun very often (except at home, always low).

If I could suggest a video topic, how about a video that talks about starting out at the gym. I was a bit sickly growing up so I haven't been to the gym since middle school🤕💀 so I've maintained a 135-145 weight for about 8 years now and am incredibly skinny. (Lean, but you can tell I used to be the sickly type) and the biggest thing stopping me from going back into a gym is the simple fact that I have ZERO idea of where to start, what equipment does what,... What am I supposed to eat. And I'd imagine I can't be the only one with this level of intimidation

This might sound weird, but, I feel I make pink look masculine in a strange way, I have a man bun, kinda look similar to Thomas, but, you are better looking and cleaner, and I think thats what it is, I will where a pink shirt, but, it will be tight fitting like you said, or I have cargo shorts on, or my skate shoes nullify the feminist side of the pink. My scruffy looking facial hair probably helps me out a bit too, I always look messy, but, not necessarily too untidy if that makes sense 😂

@joshdrayton12305 жыл бұрын
If you go back only slightly more than a century you'll find that pink was seen as a distinctly masculine colour. The whole "pink for girls, blue for boys" was only introduced by manufacturers as a marketing tool around the 1940s (so they could sell more than just white clothes for babies). So the whole thing is a con, really. And best ignored.

Nice one. I agree with Aziq Auqil, don't do dreads unless you are fully committed because they are permanent. And if you don't like them it will be back to ground zero for you. Also from what you said, you like to change your mind (which isn't a bad thing) but dreads will limit that dramatically. If you are going to grow it out, commit to that, get to the goal, see how you like it and then make your decision based on that. I thought I wanted a lowered undercut but then decided I like having all my hair long too much so I decided against it in the end. But I had to reach my goal first.

Masculine and “man bun” shouldn’t be used in the same sentence. 95% of men can’t pull it off and not say femininity or submissiveness. My brain, like many other men go into an automatic first impression judgment scoring system. Negatives are piercings, bad tats, grunge beard, penciled handlebar mustache, slipping pants, sandals, crooked or turned hat and prettied up hair .... like a man bun. On the other hand, if this is a communication thing and your intent to say “this is where I am”, you may have great success in attracting or repelling other mindsets.

Umm no offense, but your man bun doesn’t look masculine ever. It’s not a knock on you as you look good and you rock the look well, but the masculine look requires far, far less polish and requires you to be rough around the edges so to speak. A big part of it is not looking like you care as much as you do, but in your case it’s always obvious that every part of your look is planned and arranged.
