Face Shapes and Hairstyles for Men
This is all well and good; women really appreciate well-dressed and well-spoken guys. But what really sticks in my craw is when said guy is sporting a downright ugly hairstyle. I might be smiling and nodding while he's talking, but all I'm thinking is, 'Why put so much energy into your clothes when it looks like a long-haired Pomeranian is sleeping on your head?'
