Regardless o f dreads or any other hairstyle, we gotta be on A+ looking shyt for doing anything social.

So I'm guessing shape ups were still a thing before then but they were less sharp?
it wasn't a way to be "fresh" back then. It was entirely optional. As long as the top of your head was cut down, or the high top fade
then it was cool.

I do it for symmetry and I like going to the barber
Not me, I got my haircut one week and a shape up the next, I never had braids or cornrows which is what I personally feel leads to baldness and the receding line.
The braid/cornrow thing can pull your scalp alot. It just may be why girls seem to have symmetric but wavy hair lines. I know the males that get it often make the mistake of getting braids, then getting shaped up. Horrible combination. Then again, hats cutting off blood flow/oxygen to the scalp play a part as well.
hopefully my shyt ages gracefully

I don't know where you are from, so I cannot judge. Around this way though, first thing you will hear in that cycle of conversation is, "bruh, just make sure you have a tight shapeup and any hairstyle is fine".

Who gives a shyt, when i had hair i had my shyt crispy at the end of every week...nothing made me feel better than leaving the barber shop looking fresh..
For some, being freshly washed out of the shower is all the fresh they need, psychologically.
its 2015 you got nikkas walking around looking like questlove and Patrick Beverly still smashing broads breh, this isn't the early/late 00's when a lot of broads felt the basic ceaser or braids were the hairstyle of choice. I'm not saying they don't care about a crispy lineup but a vast majority of them mainly
broads don't care about that.since early 2000's we done went through braids then dreads then mohawks then the wiz patches then fades came back and now its pretty much all different variations of these hairstyles being worn all over the place.

if you go to a good barber who knows where to keep your hairline that's not going to happen.

I don't doubt the validity of what you say. Those
women, of all chocolate hues, are dating out though, not in. So it wouldn't matter how they feel about a BLACK mans shape up. 
What does remain adamant is the neccesity for THE working BLACK MAN, is to shape our "shyt" up if you expect to be taken seriously in the work force. I am aware of the few who are above such requirements though.
Aint had any type of shape up in 3+ years 
Saw my boy Thierry Henry doing without years back and I thought yes, i'm ravishing enough to get away with this.
Please dont try this stunt at home folks, could result in a devastating lack of pussay
