Am I right to be bitter?

I am at high school at the moment and two of my friends have recently had girlfriends. I have also had a lot of interest from girls recently, but all of them say the same thing: they want my hair to be back to how it used to be. The thing is I used to style my hair, put a lot of time and effort into it to get female attention, but I didn't get any until I stopped styling my hair. Now people always call me scruffy because of my 'out of control hair' but weren't even that bothered when I put effort into my hair. Now once again I have put effort into styling my hair and my friends now take the piss out of me for doing so. Due to that I never get the opportunity to show it to my admirers because I'm too insecure. Am I right to be bitter?
