If Emma was asked that because of her cut, Angie will be crowning me Queen Lesbian due to mine. Then again, my boyfriend might enjoy being my consort.</p> <p>I'll need a court jester, and everyone can eat cake.</p> <p>"Your Majesty, the peasants are revolting!!"<br /> "They certainly are!"</p> <p>Will Kim (Queen Mum) consider me an usurper?</p> <p>Cheers<br /> Julie</p> <p>PS. Both men and women have bought me drinks since I went short. Women make much more civilized propositions, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-happened-to-me-too-wshort-hair#post-545837 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:07:29 +0000 Elly 545837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Older men (50-90) love me in short hair and I always get fabulous compliments about looking like a "lady." </p> <p>I get a lot of the lesbian comments no matter my hair length-- I'm not sure why . . . </p> <p>I've learned to take advantage of it-- friends often take me out with them as their "date" when their significant others are out of town or they don't want to be bothered. Apparently I make an intimidating lover. I also get bought drinks at the "colorful" clubs quite frequently. </p> <p>Occasionally I use my theatrical training and throw in a stage kiss to seal the deal when men are being quite persistent with unwanted attention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-happened-to-me-too-wshort-hair#post-545800 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:22:18 +0000 ironkurtin 545800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I look pretty masculine with short hair. I remember very clearly 20 years ago in Italy, when I saw a reflection in a bus window and thought "What a cute boy!" - AND IT WAS ME. And when I was in NYC with my short crop I used to get handed fliers for strip clubs. Of course, this was both with different glasses frames. Oh well. At least I thought I was cute, right?</p> <p>For the record, I got hit on by women many more times when I had long hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-happened-to-me-too-wshort-hair#post-545793 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:12:19 +0000 biscuitsmom 545793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh my gawd ps- what business is it of their's anyway?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-happened-to-me-too-wshort-hair#post-545781 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 19:46:18 +0000 HelenInCanada 545781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm speechless.</p> <p>I'm sure men who wear ponytails are gay. *rolling eyes*</p> <p>I'm a little surprised that journalists - people who are supposed to be balanced and open-minded - would be so rigid in their views! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-happened-to-me-too-wshort-hair#post-545767 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 19:17:16 +0000 Isis 545767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed! No assumptions!</p> <p>And this assumption is particularly absurd. Can you imagine asking a lesbian if she was now heterosexual because she grew her hair or donned a long wig? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-happened-to-me-too-wshort-hair#post-545766 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 19:15:03 +0000 Anonymous 545766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Una, I tactually thought this was going to be a post about chemo treatments.</p> <p>Nothing should ever be assumed! I saw an attractive bald woman in the choir in the coverage of Whitney Houston's funeral and I wondered what her story was. I'm glad that women are feeling empowered to go short or bald these days, whether it is a fashion statement, or because of medical issues (and not feel like they *must* wear a wig or cover their heads) or for any other number of reasons. Everyone is so beautiful in her own way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-happened-to-me-too-wshort-hair#post-545762 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 19:01:54 +0000 ManidipaM 545762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG, I *love* that comeback. For what it's worth, I could even switch it around to the reaction I apparently provoked --- looking like a young widow! (Thus: "Oh, do you think so? I'm so glad my husband disagrees!") </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-happened-to-me-too-wshort-hair#post-545750 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:38:27 +0000 catgirl 545750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmm, yeah. The mind boggles.</p> <p>And what if the person questioned actually IS a lesbian? Will the world implode? Has Portia de Rossi's hair been for naught? </p> <p>Or imagine if that person was in fact going through chemo.</p> <p>I'm thinking my response would be to chirp brightly, "Why yes, I am. Fortunately, my husband is okay with it!" Said with the sweetest smile I could manage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-happened-to-me-too-wshort-hair#post-545739 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:30:08 +0000 lyn* 545739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I'm wearing scrubs, people say, "What a nice gentleman doctor." ... or "Your medical student is such a nice guy staying up to help you..."</p> <p>&gt;__&lt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-happened-to-me-too-wshort-hair#post-545738 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:29:03 +0000 Mander 545738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is very peculiar what people can assume about you based on your appearance.</p> <p>The one time I had a short pixie cut following a hair dye disaster, customers in the store where I worked kept calling me "sir". Now granted, in my crappy khakis+polo shirt uniform I didn't look especially feminine, but I have never had a particularly boyish body either, if you catch my drift... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-happened-to-me-too-wshort-hair#post-545731 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:24:26 +0000 lyn* 545731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL; since I've had short hair, I've had more ladies ask me out than men. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-happened-to-me-too-wshort-hair#post-545723 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:15:19 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 545723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My mantra: people are weird. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-happened-to-me-too-wshort-hair#post-545715 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:56:35 +0000 Anonymous 545715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd never make assumptions simply on the length of someone's hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-happened-to-me-too-wshort-hair#post-545713 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:52:35 +0000 ManidipaM 545713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have had similar issues (different connotations culturally, but equally rude comments on the whole), but hey, it's my head, my hair, and I keep going back to a crop and a shave every so often.</p> <p>And I guess I don't look very feminine either, but that's neither here nor there. I don't have a lot of style, forget style confidence; but I do know when to call it 'none of your beeswax!' (even if I don't say it out loud). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-happened-to-me-too-wshort-hair#post-545702 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:32:29 +0000 Meredith1953 545702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love having my hair really short!

This came up a few times over the years with my pixie. I usually heard about it second hand, wasn't asked directly.
