Today, I was excited about showing off my new haircut. All my friends thought it looked really good and it made me look older. What did my boyfriend think? He said I look like a little girl and he was afraid to kiss me in public because he didn't want someone to think he was a pedophile. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got a new haircut. I was feeling pretty confident, until coworkers and family members kept making comments like, "I think you gained a little weight", "You look older" and "Do you still like guys?" Apparently, my new haircut changed my waist size and my sexual orientation. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went to the local park for some romantic time together. By the time we left, I'd been called a pedo and a cradle robber, and been given several dirty looks. I'm 31. My boyfriend is 30 and just very baby-faced. FML
Today, after getting an expensive haircut, I showed it to my boyfriend. Instead of saying, "Wow, those bangs look great on you" he said, "Wow, you look really good when you don't show your forehead." FML
Today, I showed my new haircut to my friends. One of them said, "Wow, it’s brave to try something different." I didn’t realize that "brave" was code for "bad." FML
Today, I had my hair done for the first time in 3 years. I loved it. My boyfriend told me I look like his ex. FML
Today, I cut my bangs. When I asked my boyfriend if he liked it he said, "It's like I'm dating a new girl, this way I won't get bored with you." FML
Today, I got my hair cut short, as it hasn’t been cut in well over a year and I was getting sick of dealing with it. I told the hairdresser I would probably look like a boy but she said it would look cute, and that she’d make sure it looks feminine. I loved how it came out, until the kid at CVS asked, “Can I help you sir?” FML
Today, after growing my hair out for over a year and constantly being told that it makes me look like a girl, I finally cut it. The first thing my friends said when they saw me was that I now look like a "lesbian." FML
Today, I tried a new hairstyle to impress a guy I like. I was pretty confident, until he took one look at me and said, "Uh... why's there an onion on your head?" So much for that. FML
Today, I got a haircut for the first time in almost a year. I thought it looked really nice and made me look good. On my way to CVS, I ran into one of my friends. He examined me and said, "You look... like a crack whore." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

In his defense, I look old for my age, and my (now wife) looks very young for hers...and when we were both 18, I got some very dirty looks walking around hand-in-hand with her. Nobody actually said anything to us except once or twice, though. She's actually older than I am. So I can understand his caution.

HAHA! yeah, I was 15 when my boyfriend of four months turned 18. And i look 15, and he look's about 20 something LOL, and people are always saying stuff, this one time we were at the zoo and on old lady that worked there was like, "But you look so young! you can't be any older then 14!", I was like ummm i'm 15? and my boyfriends like Hey now! i'm only 17 though! XDD we don't care what people have to say, and i'm 16 now so in NC it doesn't matter anymore, 16's the age of consent. (And yeah he thinks me looking younger is Hott lmao)

My boyfriend and i were born in the same year but we look ages apart because.. he looks older than his age and I look younger.. and we joke about it (about him being a pedophile) but in the end, it doesn't really matter to either of us. So hopefully, your boyfriend said what he said jokingly (which is probably the case)

aww. thats so sad. i cut my hair 2 years ago, about 7 inches off.. it was at my chin and all of my girl-friends absolutely LOVED it. they said it was the haircut for me and they wish they could pull it off. my guy-friends either said absolutely nothing and looked at my weirdly at first, or they questioned it. he will get over it if hes in the relationship for the right reason. my guy-friends did. and im sure its super cute and pretty on you. :]

A similar thing happened to me with my ex. A lady at an art museum called me a pedophile for dating her. She was more than a head shorter than I am, but she's actually older than I am. It was funny, really.

'Cause of course. unless shes short and has tiny tiny boobs she wouldn't look like a child.

Girl, if you look younger, then that must be a great haircut

It's not necessarily a bad thing that you look younger. Regardless of whether you actually do. I think he just wants to avoid conflict. Making a big deal out of it with him may not help anything.

At least you don't look like a man
