Short back and sides

Is a short back and sides attractive on a bloke?
I'm being forced to have a hair cut before next week. My mum now calls me scruff because my hair is touching my eyebrows, she has for the past 16 years forced me to have my hair cut and its usually a short back and sides and a bit off the top.
I wondering is this hair style attractive to girls??? Or is the longer more scruffy better on a bloke???

I prefer scruffy longish hair to short hair, has to be kept clean though!

No personally I don't like. I much prefer it scruffier.

Scruffy is sexy! As long as it's "kept"

When you get it cut ask for a grade 6/7 or 8 on the sides... not 1/2/3/or4 - then ask for the top to be cut choppy and thinned out... that way it will stay a little roughish but tidy.

^What does that look like it sounds alright^ - Any pics much appreciated:smile:

Well i think i'm going to have to have it cut or my mum is refussing to buy my suit for school. Also she stops talking to me and walks out the room when i walk in.

Really? That's pathetic.


Yep.
She calls me scruff and doesnt talk to me, she gives me dirty looks also like i'm a piece of **** on the bottom of her shoe.
Its not that i'm bothered about, my brother laughs about it, the thing i want is my clothes for sixth form buying because i dont have that kind of money- no one else in my family would buy it.
Shes says a nice suit would look stupid with scruffy hair.

Well anything below a grade 4 is short...

David Beckhams faux-hawk cut is a example around this length would be a example... although the sides have grown out a little... perhaps a grade 10..

I'll take serious thought over my hair. The thing is i like it long and the way it is and also the way you've said but my mum doesnt like the current hair, i think she may aprove of the way you said. Thanks!:smile:
