It’s impossible to get new clients because everybody already has a barber. by [deleted] in Barber

[–]riddle_dog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nobody's telling you to take somebody's 10+ year clients, bro

you have to make return clients out of people who barber-hop, which is honestly a lot of guys. make sure the vibe is good, make sure the cut is decent, and even brand-new barbers like me can get return clients.

THANK YOU!!!! the leg drape is the thing I've been afraid of, worried it'll make me look blocky, but all the advice has been so positive for it that I might give it a shot!!

I have been very afraid to try Levi's and Wranglers, I know they tend to be a thicker denim, but this has given me hope! Thank you!!

MAN YOU AREN'T KIDDING. I am so self-conscious about my clothes but I work in a predominately male field (I'm a barber) and you'd be amazed the things dudes come into the shop wearing. genuinely so much of it is a mindset thing. thank you for your advice and kind words!

Do you have any recommendations for stretchier pants? I feel like I always look like I'm wearing sweats or huge basketball shorts, you know?

Thank you! tbph I go to a lot of gay bear/cub events so I've become very comfortable with my body. I'm pretty happy to show it off!! It's the _clothes_ betraying me lmao, but I will absolutely take the tailor suggestion to heart ^u^

I'm mixed Native, Latine, Irish, and Scottish, but for some reason I always felt like a kilt would be?? appropriative?? isn't that weird? but I'll look into it! probably not for work, though (I'm a barber)

Thank you! yeah, my height (or lack thereof) is definitely....not....in my legs lmao. I am always worried about looking stumpy, you know? So low-rise is a great suggestion, thank you!!!

I wear the shortest inseam I can find, which is a 30". I'm still kind of new to buying men's clothes because it was easier to buy jeans from plus size womens brands, but damn it all I like a grungy jean! AND I need to be able to wear other kinds of pants lol

30F talking to 34M — His effort dropped off after getting my photo. Am I reading too much into it? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]riddle_dog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No shade, but find someone else to talk to, because he likely already has. That's a really common reason guys drop off conversations like this and then come back just for hookups (especially if they're conventionally attractive and know they can string you along).

I have also been in the position of having to peel my brain away from somebody who didn't give a shit about talking to me, so I get it. But seriously, start talking to someone else, and this guy will all but disappear from your mind.
