The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

So, I was at a pub last Friday night and a middle-aged gentleman suggested I do something about my hair. This isn't the first time such a thing has been stated to my face. Oddly enough, this same person had months ago stated that with my hair and face, that I looked like a news anchor. I guess he was just suggesting I go modern. It seems as if my hair is a divisive beast of sorts. I've received numerous compliments about it, mainly from women, with some guys suggesting it was "too perfect" and could be one reason why I'm asked quite frequently if I'm gay. But, I've also received a number of comments saying that it's too old-fashioned and I should try and contemporize it a little bit. My mother suggests I let it grow for a while, as my hair has appeared to get wavier through the years and she's curious to see how it'd look if I grew it out a little more than has been typical. My father wants me to grow an afro. Okay, just joshing on that last ...
