I went for a spontaneous appointment at the hairdresser's this afternoon. I wanted something new; something fresh and sassy.

The hairdresser was extremely loquacious and wordy. She noticed I had colored my hair a few weeks before. After a few sentences of breaking the ice, she asked who had picked the color of my hair. I said that I picked it all by myself. She was baffled. And there was an awkward silence in the room.

She added that if men wear colored hair that fits their complexion, it's usually their girlfriends who chose the color. How stereotyped.

Are men unable to improve their looks on their own? I keep wondering if only gay men, fags, and all other kinds of non-heterosexuals are in the position to have good taste?

Who is to say that average straight men can't have a feminine side to them which makes them aware of details that others simply don't notice or care about?
