hairstylist vs barbering career for 40s guy

im in my 40's looking to do career change. i dont want to do a physcial job like construction which i done for a short time previously. i also done retail, valet,car wash, and a few low skilled non career jobs. im looking for a career and should have thought about it earlier but had lot of conflicting views from my parents. they love to get involved in my life.
whats your thoughts for a guy. hairstylist or barbering. do you think ill get stunned / treated poorly working in a female dominated industry? hopefully meet a single girl in class but i doubt it. most going be 20s and im too olld for them.
i dont have much interest doing womens hair but i heard its better to know how to do womens hair than not learn how to do it. would women clients kind prefer a women stylist also im a straight male .
any thoughts
Learn woodwork, there are a lot of tutorials online and you can create items for sale on Etsy.

If you go the barbers route they'll talk about you behind your back, it won't be fun.
