So I have to sympathize with you - I had a really good friend of mine tell me that once... he said that if he wasn't married that he would be trying to date me. Weird thing is that we had been friends forever - so why pick now to tell me this? After he was married?
But I digress... just take it as a compliment, some sort of flattery - these women are seeing the qualities in you that they have wanted all along but maybe were to preoccupied at the time to put amy importance on.
As for the barber thing, that does suck; they are hard to come by, but while in seldom worked you may meet a sister who has had the same thing said to her, by brothers who got married... yah never know.
