Why did long hair on men go out of style? I liked it... a lot.

Yea but at least you want have trouble buying your ganja...

haha... judgments.

i don't smoke weed. don't drink either. sober as a judge.

but i have several tattoos and i play the bass.

go figure.

I mean I don't like the shaved bald look, men who go bald at least have some hair on their head.

This is a good thread!

As someone who had just cut his hair short. 1) It's to get a professional job (in my case, a damn good internship) and 2) because of the chicks.

I had longer hair. It was very wavy but it was during my goth days. Then I got into a glam phase, so I would have that flatironed scenester look. Eventually I just had to cut it. Shorter hair was the definite route.

I actually blame the short hair return on Twilight New Moon. Ever since Taylor Lautner's character went from long hair, to short hair. A lot of younger girls ate that up. So, a lot of dudes have done it. Plus, the whole "fitness" attitude really has come to a rise so everyone has to work out and look like a cage fighter.

I dont think ive seen any young guys pulling off what was common in the 70s

can't say ive seen them since

I started growing my hair out about 18 months ago. Didn't really feel like going to get it cut and my dad grows his out for Locks of Love, which I thought was a pretty good idea. Not to mention its nice when its cold out. I have to keep a clean shaved face though for work so can't get the full effect, lol.

I remember in high school though that the other boys were criticized if they let it go too long. This was the early to mid 00's so definitely some recent cultural impacts going on there.

And no way am I going near the subject of body hair removal. Last time I tried that it took me a month to get rid of the wet dog smell the Nair left behind in my nose. I got a carte blanche "Automatic Argument Win" out of that with multiple stamps between me and the GF at the time in the end so...guess it wasn't so bad.

haven't cut my hair since 2005. cut it to go before the judge to get custody of my kids and swore i wouldn't cut it again until my kids were grown. i guess we all have our reasons...

i think our society is open minded enough to pull of a nicely styled/cut longer hair style and still maintain a professional look.

dare to dream?

Translation: if you are who you pretend to be, you would never have responded to my post the way you did.

Bands of Orion: You know exactly what I'm talking about, so stop pretending.

Finally, your post style is a dead giveaway as to whose side you're on.

P.S., the all-seeing eye avatar didn't help your cause.

So which coven do you belong to? Right hand or left hand path?

wow... all this from a hair thread?

I'm a guy with long hair, and I play bass too...

not that i need to even give your questions the dignity of a response... but you got so butt hurt about my post, maybe i will go ahead anyway.

i don't "pretend" to be anybody. no energy for that, nor desire to do so. i'm ok with me just as i am.

whose side? hmmmm.... are you referring to my sig lines?

coven? no coven. although there have been times when i understood the inclination.

still clueless about the orion thing. i'm ok with that.

it didnt go out of style it fell out

sweet!

It makes my ass look fat.

Im trying to let mine grow out. Ive always had the clean cut or completely shaved thing rocking, but Im trying for the wild man look now.

Lol, you don't fool me. "Butt hurt"? Another tell-tale sign...

wild man look, eh?

YES!! You men need to grow that shit. Grow it lonnnnnngggg. Grow it Nao! nomnomnomnom.

Business in the front.



And Party in the back.

lol... mullets don't count

I'm 38 and have my hair past chin length. Almost to my shoulders. And it's thick. It pisses dudes off something fierce. It makes them aggressive. Luckily I'm 6'3" and could hold my own in a UFC match.

Also, per the lady above, I prefer my wife keep her kitty shaved bald. Infact she gets laser treatment to keep it that way. It's not pedo at all. It makes things much more enjoyable when I'm down there for an hour getting all the nooks and crannies making her come her ass off.

TV box changed many things.

You know many things concerning 'fashion' come from armies and jails...

we are being shaped...

for deep contemplation

hmmm...

Yep, much street fashion comes from jails. This whole pants down around the ankles thing comes from jails in California where "available" inmates wanted to let others know their anuses were open for business.

I love long hair on men, also.

I think it goes back to the days of knights and warriors..

The vikings all had long hair, and were tough and sexy..I mean, just watch Braveheart..sexxxxxy men :)

Nonsense, the Vikings did not have long hair. This is a Hollywood fallacy. As are the depictions in Braveheart. Sorry to burst your bubble, but short hair on men has been common, especially in European culture, during most of history, with a few exceptions (wigs), the mid 19th century and perhaps the 60's and 70's.

yes!

you know, i was widowed a couple years ago. lost my husband way too early - he was only 43. i think i am finally ready to date. nothing serious or meaningless either. just would like to step out a bit and have a bit of romance? not sure, but maybe.

can't seem to find anyone that seems interesting to me.
i'm sure it's my own deal. feel almost ready, but not ready. ya know?
