His mother "insists". So he already told her the truth. Maybe it's hard to believe, but some ultra-conservative people really are like this. She sounds like those extremely religious people who would rather die of cancer because it was a decision from above than to get chemo and treat it. (Or at least they might claim this until they get cancer themselves. Some people...)

And it's so sweet of him to say she still looks feminine and beautiful with very short hair. What a guy. Most guys think short hair = lesbian.

Exactly. I've wanted to do our local 'shave for a cure' for awhile, and the response I've had from my boyfriend and make friends has been less than encouraging. You're a cool guy.

Your mom is a jackass. There are more important things in life than looking a part. Like, I don't know, being a loving and supportive person. I kinda wanna kick your moms ass for being so ignorant.

She not just messed up, she's an utter bitch!

Your mother needs to get over herself.

Beauty lies in the Eye of the beholder.

Beautiful on the inside and out. It makes me feel really good when I hear people doing that to support each other. OP's mom is terrible, but in the end OP got really lucky and it doesn't matter what his mother thinks.

Exactly. She's probably a beautiful girl on the inside and out. I've found that the truly beautiful people on the inside become more attractive to me physically. Even if they weren't so much at first sight. At the end of the day, looks fade. It's all about the kind of heart that person has that truly matters.

As my English teacher has been saying for years: "beauty fades, but dumb is forever."

#9 : I wish I could thumb you up a hundred times.

Thank you, 71.

How can she seem gorgeous? The only physical feature known about her is that she has very short hair.
