    Default Are most male hairdressers gay?

    And if so, why? and if not, how come it's a stereotype?

    I'm not talking about barbers, talking hair stylists.

    Don't have any data, just anecdotes. Real helpful, I know.

    One male hairdresser I know is a friend of the family, is gay but is the biological father of a child from some previous relationship.

    Another guy my wife goes to has mannerisms that might ping some people's gaydar but is married to a woman.

    I remember reading somewhere (might have been Desmond Morris' The Naked Ape, which instantly discredits it) that since touching someone's hair can be a sexualized act men that cut women's hair for a living acted less overtly masculine in order to be less sexually threatening.

    At this point it is probably a self-perpetuating stereotype. Since, correctly or incorrectly, it has become associated with being gay, a lot of straight men would avoid it as a career.

    Let me guess: no problems with premature ejaculation?
