How Can I Convince my Boyfriend to Shave?
Miller1989:
Have you tried mentioning how much you like shorter haircuts and shaved heads? Maybe you should try and encourage him to go for a shorter style first. That way he'll get used to sporting less hair on his head and may be more comfortable about taking it all off later on. And having a loving, supportive girlfriend will help him. I think every guy is at least a little nervous about shaving his head the first time. All of the women in my life, including family, were very supportive. All said that I had nothing to worry about and would look handsome bald. Turns out,, they were right!

Or compliment someone who is shaved bald while you're in public. That shouldn't be too hard to do.

I think he's self conscious or embarrassed since I've never seen him with it really short. I used to be a bit nervous to bring up the topic because I know it can be a touchy subject, but at this point I really just want him to cut it off. I've told him to get a haircut and even offered to do it for him, but he says no. I thought maybe he never wanted to do it because he wasn't sure how I'd feel about it, but now I've offered and he still doesn't want to. What do I do? I don't want to say anything to hurt his feelings, but I also think he would just look better without the hair at this point. He got so upset last time when I tried to cut it, that now I'm too nervous to even bring it up again.

So you admit that he is nervous, self -conscious, and embarassed and your reaction is to NAG HIM? You've TOLD HIM to get a haircut, and even offered to pay implying that he can't afford the $15? Seriously, what on earth is wrong with you? It's his decision, he knows your opinion, he knows the option is out there. Drop it.
He does need to cut something from his life and it's not his hair.
I know this is old, but this just needed to be said in case someone else has the same question in the future.

--- End quote ---
"Suggesting" does not have to be daily to qualify as nagging. I'm also confident that you are understating the number of times you have "suggested".
--- Quote ---I don't even say it has to be done or completely buzzed off.
--- End quote ---
So you aren't suggesting, you're demanding?
--- Quote ---Secondly, sure, maybe he wants to keep it. But there's no harm in trying something once.
--- End quote ---
Your dismissal over his opinion on something that is entirely his decision is very telling on what life with you must be like.
--- Quote ---If he did shave it all off and then decided that he hated it, I could live with that.
--- End quote ---
I I I I I I I I I I I
me me me me me me me
You have an unbelievably narcissistic attitude.
--- Quote ---I think he'd look better without it and if he gave it a try, he probably would too.
--- End quote ---
You may be right. He might look 100x times better. but IT'S NOT YOUR DECISION.

The whole thing sounds petty. Hey, did he shave it or buzz it yet? I don't understand why he's so obstinate about it but it he's against doing it then that's the way it is. I think some guys are like that.
