When did you first realize you had a thing for short hair?

For me it was in the mid-70s as longer hair was becoming more common even in rural areas (I'm a country bumpkin myself). As a youngster I was taken/sent for short clipper cuts every few weeks and for a while I didn't mind. But then I became a lil' hair rebel and wanted longer hair, at least partially covering my ears. Eventually my parents relented.
By the time I was in third or fourth grade clipper cuts on boys were the exception rather than the rule. One of the exceptions in our school was a nerdy boy named Willy - glasses, somewhat prominent ears, wavy blond hair - whose parents were known to be very conservative and strict. Willy had no say-so in his haircuts - the only choice was whether he would go to the old barber us long hairs were avoiding by now or submit to a merciless shearing by his father. As much as I liked my longish hair, I secretly admired his short haircut, not quite high & tight but definitely military. And I felt bad for Willy when he'd show up on Monday, freshly shorn from the previous Saturday, because he'd usually get comments from other boys, like "so you ran into a weedwhacker again, huh?" I could tell Willy was mortified. Kids can be cruel without even realizing it. I never joined in the teasing because I thought he looked great with his whitewalls and neatly parted top. He was the real hair rebel among us boys, even though it wasn't by choice.
Once I caught Willy in the chair at the barbershop which had a big window that made haircut watching quite easy. I wished I had the guts to join Willy right there and then and ask for a short clipper cut but I didn't. When he emerged from the shop, I rode up to him on my bicycle so I could admire his fresh haircut. I didn't tell him he looked great - that would've been slightly awkward - but I accompanied him part of the way home so I could secretly glance at his haircut some more, and because Willy was a nice guy and easy to talk to.
Willy's parents insisted on short clipper cuts for him and his younger brother long past grade school and then we lost touch as teenagers. It took me until my mid-20s before I finally had the courage to walk into an old fashioned barbershop and get rid of my long hair in favor of a military haircut: "I'd like a high & tight, please." What a rush that was...

BuzzLife Rules:
This board is designed to be a destination to discuss male haircuts, from buzzcuts, flattops, bald, and more!
By using this, you accept all liability for your posts and their contents. BuzzLife administration and Boardhost accept no liability whatsoever by posts, ideas, opinions, links to external sources, videos, to name a few among the vast amount of content that could be contained in said posts. Therefore, you post it, whatever it may be, you’re responsible for it. Enough said.
Photos, videos, and other content posted should involve men who appear to be of age. Any link/poster that sends images, videos, etc. of those who appear to be below acceptable age will be removed. This results in an instant ban for life
This is designed for male haircutting, and males should be the subject of the haircut. Females should not be the subject of the haircut in posts, photos, and discussions, however, females are free to join and discuss our common interests.
No sexual posts allowed. No political posts allowed.
In terms of common sense, do not post replies to such videos or photos saying things like “sexy handsome man without hair” or “better ####ing shave it next time” or any other suggestive or inappropriate comments. This only does many things. It makes the user remove the video due to being “creeped out” by said comments, look to see where the user found their video (and can see terms searched, such as headshaving, male haircut, and even links from this board). It only brings out a negative view of our community and makes us more noticeable, rather than keeping it quiet. Keeping it quiet is best, it allows us to continue sharing content without people starting to think “will I get creepy people send me stuff”. To sum it up, don’t be a creep on other people’s videos. Saying you look good such as “nice haircut” is acceptable; saying “you look sexy handsome with that new haircut :-*” is unacceptable. I cannot control what you post on other websites, but please keep your true comments to yourself, or as we often see, “This video has been removed by the user” will pop up. Please use proper judgment to keep the videos posted public for all to see and enjoy.
In addition, please try to do your best to provide reference to what content is being presented. The internet is wide, I understand that. But if you are going to post a YouTube link, write a quick thing next to the link (moptop shorn) or reference where you got an image from (i.e., post a link and the image) so we can see it easier if there is problem. Only goes to help us out more!
Be civil on the board. We’re all grown mature (hopefully) men. Let’s keep it mature and civil on here.
Be smart about what you post! If you use proper judgment, it will generally be fine. Just consider these rules before posting.
Any problems and questions, e-mail me at buzzlifeboard@gmail.com
I tried to make these rules fair and understanding. They are only here to make the best for the continuation of our community. Any comments or problems or suggestions, please message me or post here.
