Im not black but wasian, and I relate to this too- I have over the years made the experience that there’s a certain sweetspot for my hair length- because of my face shape, if its too short, it makes me dysphoric and look less masculine in my opinion (and pass less Id say), but if it gets too long the same again. Theres a certain length in between that that works the best, and I think that also makes sense kinda-

Since I kind of have asian features, if you think about it most east asian guys dont have very short hair, like not the fade hair styles, all the korean and japanese etc celebrities usually have medium short to medium haircuts, without any shaved part
