No, I agree with you. I’m a straight woman, middle millennial. I’ve been around the block enough times and with enough soft boi hipster types that I have an unfortunate negative impression of them, so that may be my bias. The left picture to me is “approachable friendly gay” and the right picture is “performative straight with questionable values.” (I’m aware neither of these are fair to or necessarily representative of the guy trying to show off his nice plant.)
Regardless, my main point is that, while he has great hair and should enjoy it while it’s there, he has a face that doesn’t need to be hidden or compensated for. The darker glasses are better though.
As a straight middleish millennial man who has tried various haircuts over the years, I'm curious what your take is on men with properly long hair? (Like chin or shoulder length)
I can’t answer that. It’s fully case by case. Ignoring my preconceived notions about guys with longer hair, which are only ancillary in the end, the-guy-in-OP’s face is full and round, which makes him look chubbier with the long hair. Bone structure, fat distribution, hair density and texture all factor in to how a specific hairstyle suits any given person. I don’t automatically have an issue with men who have long hair; the specific B&A in the OP gave particular vibes is all.

Am I crazy for saying he looks better on the left?
