>Why does a fade haircut highlight that you work out so much?
Humans are influenced by trends more than we think. A haircut isnt just a haircut. It represents what others do and what image it projects.
A fade haircut is popular was muscular men because it is high maintenance and shows that you are overly motivated about your personal appearance. This goes hand in hand with going to the gym regularly.
As such a fade haircut complements the male obsessiveness with vanity extremely well.
In another era a well groomed long hair hairstyle would achieve the same effect. But in the 2020s long hair is typically associated with smelly loners or skinny guitar slackers.
Because humans like to fall into rank and follow trends (even if you think you dont, you not caring about following trends is a trend in and of itself), the trends tend to self prophecise themselves for a certain era. This era of vanity and dedication to fitness is the skin fade. Tomorrow it will be another haircut.
The easiest way to signal you care about your appearance is not the haircut itself, but the haircut that signals you go to the barbers basically every week. It goes hand in hand with the 'grindset' trend whereby you have the funds and time and status required to have to look your best at all time. Similar to wearing a suit if you want to appear high status. Its not the suit but the idea of WHY you NEED to be wearing a suit. You must be important
Skin fade? You must be dedicated to vanity.
Its just a trend though. In 10 years time people may look back at skins fade as tryhard and gross. but it works for today
Unironically good post although I dont agree with OP's statement. I do agree with the message. But thats not even a popular haircut. Its been damn near 10 years since that boom started and everyone in europe and all the football players looked identical.
In the gym >90% of people have broccoli hair, modern mullet or a mid-length middle part. The rest are boomers who have short hair because they just cant grow it anymore.
Because all the terminally online people are now 18 plus. 10 years ago it was extremely geekish to want to be a social media influencer. Now its shifted so much that literally scamming people online and calling yourself a tiktok guru is considered top level hustle success. Its all fricked up right now
So looking like a broccoli haircut is people trying to emulate that crowd in which theyre high status by being an andrew tate like character or mysterious eboy frickboy.

Anon, aren't you forgetting to mention a large and powerful group of long haired men?
>A fade haircut is popular was muscular men because it is high maintenance
Nice effortpost, but I disagree completely with this premise. Apart from needing to get it shaped up every 3 or 4 weeks, how is a fade inherently high maintenance? You don't really have to do much styling with it out of the shower or anything. Some dudes will use hair products or comb it over/back, but that stuff is optional. Not what I would call high maintenance at all.
I stopped getting fades years ago. You can't even tell I had a fade after about day four. To maintain the look I'd have to go once a week. I now just completely shave down the sides and go to the barber once every 5ish weeks.

These are the people telling you to "trust the science" or go vegan btw. Just insanely airheaded impressionable morons that can hardly be considered human.
See, thsi guy explained it pretty well. It's just a fashion trend

I remember going in for a haircut one time and the barber asked me if I wanted a fade 3 fricking times spaced out a few minutes after I said no. Unreal.
Im in the military, we all have a variation of this haircut. Its required by our grooming regulations for hair to be tapered and off the ears. I look bald in hats.
seems low class and ethnic to me
europoor vibes
This. Looks like the nazi haircut. Very eurotrash

the era of fitness was the 80s 90s and 2000s. Now is a joke compared to then when everyone was doing it. Its niche as frick now.

Why does the simple fact that fades look good on men makes so many people mad? I am asking this as a femanon which likes fades on men a lot
europoor anon
Op is a Black person loving homosexual
This haircut has never looked good to me. It's just barbers wanking themselves off for knowing how to adjust the settings on their clippers.
maybe you are just some kind of uggo freakazoid looking homie? ever considered that?
I've considered it and decided it was irrelevant. Get a real haircut, not an ad space for some overpriced barber.
>Get a real haircut, not an ad space for some overpriced barber.
okay, give an example of a real haircut
I wish I could give myself a fade. I'm not giving 30 bucks to some fricker who caresses the back of my head for 10 minutes
I remember going in for a haircut one time and the barber asked me if I wanted a fade 3 fricking times spaced out a few minutes after I said no. Unreal.
barbers are neanderthals these days
ah yeah the chad haircut. seems like it still makes people mad
The only thing a fade highlights is your rampant homosexuality.

Best hairstyle for young males. Biggest downside is you need to cut it too often
any haircut short on the sides make your shoulders look bigger/wider
