Whats the problem with long hair on a guy ?
Posted: 3/25/2009 8:08:04 AM
I see so many messages about long hair on a guy being a problem. Personally I look like a tool with short hair so Im not about to cut mine for some silly preferences. I always thought that people like you for who YOU Are as a person not what you look like. I guess its a material world nowadays you need to be as fake and glam as possible to get noticed. So whats the Issue with long hair on guys ?

Ummm... since when was EVERYONE supposed to like you for "you?"

If you refuse to cut your hair, Sampson, don't cut your freakin' hair. You'll then attract the type of girl that goes for that look... but not EVERY damned girl, for crying out loud. Some will like it, some won't. Today isn't any more about physical attraction than yesterday was. It's not about being "fake" or "glam." It's about what some people find attractive and what some people don't. It always has been and always will be about what we look like in addition to who we are. Few of us attract everyone.

Trust me. There's nothing odd or unique about long hair. It's just a preference.

I believe its called preferences!

You "prefer" to keep your hair long, therefor those that do not prefer long hair choose to not date you. Doesn't make you any less of a person or valuable or anything of the sort.

I have never had a hard time attracting girls no-matter how long or short my hair is at any given time.

I grow my hair and donate it to Locks of Love.
They make wigs from donated hair and give them to children who have lost their hair due to cancer treatments.

My hair length changes all the time.
Women are attracted to me no-matter how long it is.

They Do like me for who I am.!!

Why don't they like you?
Are you looking for a fight instead of Love?

It's a matter of preference. I've dated long haired, medium haired, and short haired guys.

Hope they don't go for that TMZ look. Those dudes totally "look like ladies". That Aerosmith song "Dude Looks Like A Lady" song screams out every time!

I was also once embarrassed at the animal shelter when I thought this guy was a woman. He had beautiful long hair. I though he was waiting for the ladies room. He turned around he was a he! I never judged the type of dog he had (German Shepard) as I like Rotties and pit bulls.

Long hair must absolutely be kept squeeky clean and shiny.
No baseball caps. Thats just stooopid looking.
Pulled back or braided it better, but if the hair is greasy it's just comes away
looking like some stoner stuck in he 60's.
You might be thinking the hair is the turn-off but perhaps it's not the hair that's
disturbing.
Just.. MAYBE... it this little gem

beijing****ail 6 up, 2 down
The Beijing****ail is a synthetic Central nervous system agent, at first it binds to the hemoglobin in our blood before finally settling in your synapses where it inhibits the neurotransmitters for norepiphephrine by binding to the re-uptake pumps in the synapses and blocking the neurological stimuli. The only way to counter-act this with a constant supply of synthetic or real adrenaline, but first an agent must be present in the system to cause then compound to un-bind from receptor sites so that the neurotransmitters may transfer vital information to the rest of the body. I.E. Like the pumping of ones heart
Also, The "beijing****ail" also refers to the compound administered to individuals who are sentenced to death in are executed via Lethal Injection in China

And that belongs on a DATING profile because...???

As stated above.....everyone has their own tastes as to what they find attractive. I perfer shorter hair on men. I lived thru the 60's & 70's when most of the guys had long hair....got my fill then...it was cool! LOL

I am attracted to men who are in a professional field (white collar), and that usually requires short hair. Not to say I haven't dated men with long hair and working in all kinds of professions.

To each their own......that's what makes life interesting and everyone not looking the same or wanting the same!

Your question was about long hair, but I just read your profile Op.......hair issues are not your main problem. Seriously, if you want a date, you really need to revamp your profile. Sorry, thats what happens when you start a post on forums.....people want to know more about you and where your thoughts are coming from. Please consider this helpful criticism and not an attact.

The only issue I have with dating men with longer hair, is when I require an escort for a 'do' that is considered back tie, and he will not bend and tie it back neatly into a pony or something. They get all 'take me for who I am'...well, sorry, in my life I do have to make appearances at large black tie events periodically, and if I cannot take you, as my man to them, then I dont see the point in us dating. I believe we should all be a little flexible and accomodating to whatever setting we find ourselves in, and act accordingly. If your hair prevents you from experiencing new things, I think you should seriously evaluate why you are keeping it...IE to close yourself off from certain aspects of this world?

I see so many messages about long hair on a guy being a problem.

Yeah, statistically speaking, most women who you'd find attractive don't find it attractive on 99% of men.

Personally I look like a tool with short hair so Im not about to cut mine for some silly preferences.

First, it's not a silly preference, otherwise your thread post wouldn't have been made. Second, YOU may not know if you really look like a tool or not. Girls will have a better handle on that. I had long hair in the late 90s, right after it went out of style. I got it chopped. I thought I looked like an idiot. Many months later I saw pictures of myself with long hair. I burned them. :) (Okay, not literally, but you get the idea). You have to understand you have a huge bias towards your hair. My mom has a lunch-lady haircut and spends ton of time on it and everything else -- she'd feel she'd look silly not with it.

Hey, do what you're comfortable with -- but that doesn't mean it's a good look at all... and it doesn't mean you WOULDN'T thank yourself later on after adjusting, that you cut it.

It's not about having a Hollywood haircut or being pimped out, but long hair especially in combination with one's style says something about what 'type' they are, in general. A gal may think you're a nice, guy, sure, but that's not what it's about. Girls like guys who have a sense of fashionable upkeep, and longhair 99% of the time, doesn't cut it at all.

I like long hair, on certain men. Not all can pull it off.

I always thought guys like Axl Rose, Michael Bolton, and Eddie Van Halen, looked great with long hair. Axl Rose in the "Welcome To The Jungle" music video....

Well, there's no issue with long hair on a guy that several million and a major label recording contract will not fix. Until you have them, mullet at your peril.

Don't worry about it though, OP, most people do not really like people at all anyhow, let alone like them for who they really are inside.

As for looking fake and glam-- the last time David Bowie was popular, so was long hair.

As for looking like a tool with short hair, fine. But do not expect people's attitudes to change significantly.

EDIT: Michael Bolton ? Seriously ?

Good L*rd, if you're going to have hair like a magician, you had better do magic or I'm *going* to mock you mercilessly.

So whats the Issue with long hair on guys ?


There isn't one. If it looks good on you and you like it, keep it. It boils down to preference. There are some people who don't like my red hair, but plenty who do. Be who you are and you will attract someone who likes who you are.

I prefer long hair on men, but it has to be well kept and "fit" them.
A longer, shaggy look is good but if it's past their shoulders, it needs to be one length. No mullets please.

I've always loved long hair on men....
Mabe it relates back to my "hippie days"..I dunno...but the thought of grabbing a handful of my man's hair and pulling him towards me sends *shivers* down my spine

I'm sorry "brown_eyed_woman", but who the f.uck are you? if you're on this site, I'm assuming you have had a hard time meeting and staying in relationships with men. Perhaps you are closing off aspects of this world.

however OP, I do believe that there is a certain "Je nes sais quois" look that works for us and the other looks just suck. For me its short, but not too short spiky hair. Everything else gets some attention but not nearly as much. That and Americans (at least in LA), like me better then my fellow Canadians. That black looks better on me than white. That only a goatee or being clean shaven looks good on me and everything else looks like pubic hair..

See what I mean, perhaps long hair doesn't suit you. But who gives a crap.


F.uck dem beeotches!

I do not understand why people want to change themselves to suit someone else.

Long hair looks good on some guys. It must be kept clean and neat. Same as a woman.

Short hair, no hair, long hair no personality, bad attitude, no good.

Stay true to yourself.
