According to a recent survey of married men, majority of those participants who had been married for 20+ years interestingly enough also maintained a similar relationship with their barbers. Here’s why the theory holds some weight: 1. Loyalty & Consistency If you’re loyal to your barber, you probably value long-term relationships — a key trait in lasting marriages. 2. Communication Skills Great barber-client relationships are built on good communication. If you can tell your barber exactly how you want your fade, you’re probably decent at expressing your needs in a relationship too. 3. Self-Care = Self-Respect Regularly seeing a trusted barber usually means you take care of your appearance and confidence — traits that can boost attraction and respect in a relationship.
