If Vox-Pop likes it, you know you've fucked up.

This applies to pretty much every subject.
:lol so so true. I think the OP's hair looks good though. Something only an Asian guy or Cisco could pull off though.
 
This thread is eight pages long. Hoooly shit. People really seem to like talking about your hair OP.
 
If I ever have a son, I'd slap the shit out of him if he ever looked like that. God damn. What the fuck happened to guys looking like MEN. Jesus H Christ.

Best of luck to you though. Hope you swim in oceans of pussy from here on out.

I know how those old fashioned fathers feel now. You want to be accepting and leave it be but it niggles in the back of the head that your boy looks like a total dumbass.
:lol So true.

Stuff like this is how people in Asia style their hair. Not everybody mind you, but again, having stylized hair and looking feminine is considered attractive over there. It's a cultural thing. You see this guy?

He's literally drowning in pussy. And penises. Except he plays hard to get.

literally?

Hyperbole there but I was trying to make a point that stuff that doesn't fly over here does indeed fly over in Japan for example.
Edit: On a side note, I have absolutely no idea how old Gackt is. Photoshop does wonders for this guy.

is it 1965 again?
 
I'm just giving the OP shit. :lol

Honestly, it looks kind of cool, but odd. But hey, that's how they roll in Asia. Daring as hell really. But most be a pain in the ass to maintain.

I would never do it, cause I'd look like a douche. Soneet pulls it off really well. Again, ladies will love that shit.

Please don't ever have a son, since it sounds like you'd be a shitty parent.

Edit: And don't say things like that and then hide behind "haha I'm just joking!" either.


God damn. What the fuck happened to guys looking like MEN. Jesus H Christ.

What happened to people being allowed to look how they want? I was also not aware that we had one official standard for how "men" have to look.

Okay boss....

Well, don't be so sensitive either. It's the internet. People talk shit, tell jokes and make sarcastic and facetious posts. Who gives a shit? Lighten up.

Looking like men is completely relative.

is this for real? I don't want to sound like the "expert" guy, but besides pop artists and the very rejected otaku culture, I doubt this kind of style actually flies in Japan as a normal, go-to-work look.

And I'm pretty sure the OP knew what he was getting himself into, I'd say that GAF has been actually nicer than expected, if anything I'm disappointed about the lack of photoshops.

If you wanna talk shit then deal with it when your shit gets called out.

Exactly. Just look at that pimp ass motherfucker. Just look at him.

"Acceptable" or "standard" appearance is relative to the time or place. I mean, women showing their ankles was once considered obscene. Now, just look at how some women dress nowadays. A lot has changed. It'll be funny to see how attire and clothing will change in the next decade. Can't wait for our silver, futuristic jump suits :lol

I bet all you silver jumpsuit, white haired girlie men will laugh at my jeans, rock T and natural hair colour combo in the future. :(

You won't be seeing 50 year old business men walking out like this, but it's socially accepted for the younger guys around i.e. teens. Like I said, I'm not trying to make it sound like EVERY single Asian guy has this kind of a hairstyle over there, but this kind of a hairstyle is considered attractive. Than again, I wasn't born over there so maybe someone who lived in Japan/China/Korea can give some more concrete information.

Making a joke or being sarcastic is one thing; saying that you would physically assault your child for wanting to look a way that makes you uncomfortable isn't funny, isn't sarcastic, and is fact a little troubling. There's a lot you can make jokes about or tease somebody over, but abusing a child really isn't one of them in my mind, especially when you're making a joke about a very serious issue many young people are legitimately facing.

There was a radio program here in California that, at some point last year, had the two male hosts make a joke about how they'd beat their male child with a shoe if they were transgender. Comments like that aren't funny, and even kind of validate for some the idea that it's actually okay to think that way.

Yeah, I took the comment rather seriously, and that's why.


Dresden said:
By the way--Shidoshi--who is that boy/girl in your avatar? Very cute--just a cosplayer?

Mono, a Japanese lad who has a thing for cross dressing. (Not sure if he's trans, a cross dresser, does it for cosplay reasons, or just as a hobby.) He had a blog with a gallery of his pics up at one point, but his blog is sadly no longer existant.

Good thing you aren't a red-headed step-child.

Hmm, I'll probably have to search for those pics somehow, then. Thanks.

If you couldn't tell Soneet is a guy you're a fucking dumbass. Real talk.

This thread is "GAF doesn't understand Asia" part 5389

Not everything needs to be understood, some things need just be looked at and laughed at.

Seriously, I kind of want to have sex with that guy right now. Check that look he's giving me.
and its pretty hard to find a good dress coat these days, the guy has connections. cleary a man who commands respect in the community.
 
Dresden said:

So, in trying to find a gallery to show you, I hit upon a certain "Masa-C", which it ends up is the person in my pics. So, not only are they not the Mono of which I was speaking (meaning that I was totally lied to by the original source of the pics), but they're also of a legit girl who it seems is often confused for being a guy cosplaying as a girl (thus maybe why she gets confused with Mono).

Everything I knew in life is a lie! *sob*

Actually, I am a redhead, and I was a step-child for a short time in my life. I'd bitch about my dislike for that phrase, but I've gotten crap my entire life for my hair color. It's sad, but I've heard the outrageous anti-redhead sentiment this country continues to push upon our society for so long that I've become numb to its evil!

That's some quality avatar investigation right there. :D

...wait, so that person is actually a girl dressed up as a girl who is confused as a guy who usually dresses up like a girl who may or may not be trans? /swoon

Anyways, Masa-C it is. Time to use the power of the internet, thanks.

To be fair to me so that I don't look like a total moron, there's one pic in the pink set where you would swear the "cleavage shot" nature of the photo is proof that it's a boy. And being that I came across Mono at a point where a lot of his photos had disappeared, when I was told these pics were that person I had no reason to not believe that.

But, uhm... I'm going to stop before I take over this thread with talk of boys who might be girls or girls who might be girls that people think are boys being girls. *heh*

Here's a bunch of Masa-C pics I just came across while looking this up.

And here's Mono.
 
Wow, what an awesome hair. Black or white, Asians have an incredible hair and hair style. I want to have hair like that.
 
sprsk said:
And he is Asian, don't be dense.

I must be dense then, because I figured you were talking about Aisan culture, but it seems he grew up in the Netherlands?

Whatever, who cares. Hair looks fine Soneet, it works for your hair type.

I'm from Asia and those crazy spiky hairstyle doesn't fly if you are looking for a office job. Dyning your hair is acceptable, but making it look like you're a punk just won't work.

It does give out a bad impression among the more traditional people. For the record, I do dyne my hair, but in copper, which is not very obvious and I comb my down when i'm working, spike my hair a little when i'm out with friends.

I go to school here in Tokyo and yeah......at my school a lot of dudes look/dress like straight up chicks. It's funny though because they pull so much ass it's ridiculous. Once they go salaryman though......that's the end of that.

Seriously. What the hell is going on here? This week has been hella weird on GAF.

I wasn't sure if you really want to try this or was being sarcastic (in that case, I can handle the mocking) but here are a few shots I took so you can judge if this is an old man look or just something fun one can do once in their lifetime.

I personally don't think I look like I'm older or anything, but it could be that my brain is corrupted with anime and games.

PS. I'm a straight guy...

Hi everyone. I just woke up and noticed a lot of pages. I sincerely thank the people who are supportive, but on the other hand I'd like to share that none of you have to worry that I'm affected by negative comments. So you don't have to balance it up or anything. I posted this thread because I was excited about my own hair and I knew GAF could have some fun with it: whether it's interest, information or just plain mocking. Unfortunately the latter being the most popular, but I was prepared for it.

Some people need to understand that this isn't a fluke action. So it's not like I didn't know what I'm getting into. I'm standing proud. In a way it's also a battle of shallowness in life. You could say I'm shallow for putting so much attention into my hair (for a guy), but I think I could be shallow if I cared what people think about the amount of time I'm supposed to spend on my hair. And if people define me only by my hair (already calling me an asshole here in this thread), aren't they the ones being superficial? But in the end none of it is really that complicated. It's just hair and it's just a fun thing I wanted to do. It's really not a drastic life changer (also the reason why I still dress normally to not overdo it).

Anyway, I seriously can't name all the names of people who complimented me but I thought that was very nice and supportive of you to do so. Truly appreciated.

Didn't know the Cloud cosplay was a guy though... she does look more manly than I do. Yikes.


sturmdogg said:
I like the OP's hair, but doesn't it require a lot of maintenance?
I got through the tough part, now it's just using 1 conditioner to maintain it. Silver shampoo twice a week (which I have to leave in for 5 minutes). I guess the 5 minutes just standing there in the shower is kind of annoying, but fortunately that's the most troublesome part of maintenance.


Red Scarlet said:
If you knew his posting style/history, you'd know why some people are giving him shit.
This is really unnecessary. I assumed you were the one who banned me for something really minor but to assume that all my posts are bad and then spread that assumption is unfair and untrue.
 
Ya'll are crazy, he looks fine. Why do you ugly mother fuckers have to be so judgmental over someone's hair color choice?

If I were still in High School, I would totally have had a crush on him :lol
