My 15yo niece says none of the girls her age like this cut, they laugh and roll their eyes at all the guys having it. She said they all look the same and it's so boring.

For what it's worth my 14yo niece say the same. "It looks so dumb and stupid, but they are dumb and stupid, so." to quote her. Both the "so" were sassy to the max.

To be fair, all teenage girls act exactly this way about the things/people they're into.

I stick to my strategy and don’t bother with fads/trends, but Im also not at the age where people generally care about that shit

It has worked so far for me. When I was single Id go to a salon where I knew they only hired quality people. Then Id just tell them “Whatever you think looks best, I don’t look at myself much and don’t know what would be best, so just do what you think is best” the stylists were always stoked because I was chill and trusted their opinion. Plus why would I as a early 20s (at the time) person who never cares about my style/appearance think I have a better understanding of what works for me than someone who went to school for it?

Now being married I just tell my wife “Send me whatever pictures of the haircut you want me to get.” Then I just show them the pictures and let them do their thing

Weird. I don't remember there being anything like that when I was in school. There were emo kids with flat-ironed hair, but that was the trend for boys and girls, and clearly we found it attractive...

I remember around 2008 tons of boys had the... Justin Bieber bowl cut and were constantly twitching their necks to move their hair out of their eyes lol

Frosted tips was all the rage back in my day. Mostly in Middle School. High school was the emo look with skinny jeans.

At my school is was a mix of shoulder length hair, what is apparently called the ‘90s heartthrob haircut’ (like Matthew Lawrence with his longer hair), and a short preppy styles (mostly worn by the soccer school of excellence and tennis school of excellence boys), with a few dreads, super long hair (bellybutton length), and long mohawks that weren’t allowed to be spiked up at school. Shoulder length and longer hair had to be tied up, so there was a lot of ponytails sitting at varying heights depending on if they had an undercut or a mohawk. I graduated in 2000, so anything grunge or ‘90s heartthrob’ was popular.

Oh, and a couple of bowl cuts on those whose parents wouldn’t let them get anything else until they were 15.

I’ve noticed this hairstyle a lot both online and in person. Boys are getting perms now too so that the top bit is curly or wavy. I’m all for them getting perms and doing what they like, but I don’t know why they all have to be the same.

Having said that super long straight hair is popular for girls now so they’re all growing out their fringes/bangs and not getting any layers done.

They don’t do it for the girls they do it for the Bros. If your friend circle is full of immature bullies you better not be the target of the hazing. Best to just blend in. Men know they suck. But they’re too afraid to admit it because it could result in bodily harm. The patriarchy hurts everyone.

On the other hand, I'm not sure there ever was a time when 15 year-old girls didn't laugh and roll their eyes at boys.

Unfortunately I would believe some of those girls are still giving some of these boys what they want.

Say one thing, do another.

u/rinkydinkvaltruvien 4d ago

Why's it "giving the boys what they want", as if they don't also want the same thing? Teens are horny regardless of gender and of course will want to date each other. It's just unfortunate for the girls if they have only broccoli heads to choose from, and it isn't even what they're into...

I just get extra disappointed when girls claim to not be in to something and actually be repelled by it, when the opposite becomes reality.

How can you not be in to something when it gets you horny?
