This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Speaking as a man with no hair now -- it's very freeing. It is physically cool, it is less bullshit to deal with. No waking up & being like, ooo, gotta work with my fucking hair. Others are saying it's autonomy & control, probably not wrong, but it's also just plain smart. Practical.
Also a defensive strategy. If the hair is kept short, people can't grab you by the hair & force your head around. Yank your head back & slit your throat.
Name the phenomenon... No hair don't care. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm a dude who grew his hair out because it's less work to deal with. Just pull it back and I'm good to go. When it's short my hair is totally unruly.
Though when it starts thinning too much I'm going full Kratos.
Okay there you go, if it looks good by all means keep it going. Even if it looks bad, it's your life, not mine...
Word to the wise, my male friends with ponytails have reported (same as women) don't make that damn ponytail too tight!! Headaches. And it will strain your hair, cause excess thinning, damage. Again, so they say, no personal experience. Oh & if/when you embrace bald: handheld skull shavers are simply amazing. It's great to have one around!
Yep, I switched from standard hair ties to scrunchies a few years ago since they put a lot less stress on the hair. Plus they're colorful and fun.
