Long hair is awesome, I'm actually happy to see so many dudes here rock it. Bob you're losin hair? Man you won't look much like an evil super villain anymore with it cut dude. Yep, afraid so! I just can't bear to get it cut short though. I've only gotten my hair cut four times since I got out of the Army in 2001! don't listen to him, you can look like a super villain still...just not one that scares people...one that controls others minds

I rock long hair for the simple fact that I like it and look horrible with short hair. I had long hair for all of high school, stopped for a couple years after grad but started growing it back out at the beginning of the year. Long hair suits my personality better anyways

I had it long for a few years but I grew tired of it and cut it off. It's a bit more comfortable and easier to manage and I think I suit it more, long hair is cool though.

Ive had long hair since 1998. That was the last time I had a standard haircut. Haven't been back since. Once or twice I had it shortened but it looked terrible. Think dutch boy.
Personally I would rather end up looking like the old man of the moutain than shave it all off and wax it only to walk around looking like a big ol pecker just because I saw a grey hair that made me have a nervous breakdown.
Some bad things about long hair on guys. Talking from experience
1: From the back ive had the misfortune of being mistaken for a girl only to turn around and startle people. It's their own fault for talking to my back from a distance. I just keep the conversation going and don't make a big deal of it. But it happens maybe two or three times a year.
2: Washing it is a bitch. With short hair you can get away without washing it for 2 maybe 3 day if it's real short. Long hair you have to keep after it once a day. I sometimes skip washing it and after it gets all greasy, I spend a good half hour pulling out wads of dead hair. Takes me about 20 minutes to dry it since it's just barely waist length.
3: Knots. Not so much of a problem for me. It only knots up on me if I haven't washed it good enough and it's kinda greasy.
Awhile ago I checked it out from the back and thought. Damn it is getting long. Maybe I should knock it down about 2 to 3 inches.
Then I didn't feel so bad because afterwards I saw this one goth kid who has it knee length. No joke. I don't pay attention to hairstyles at all, but I feel the long hair fits my personality.
Some pluses for me on having long hair are.
1: I stand out amongst the other 95% of the guys in Jersey. Not that im looking for attention at all, but just for the uniqueness of it all, I don't feel like a conformatist, not that im one of those emo's who complain about not conforming.
2: Most people don't want to talk to me. Which is just damn fine with me because I hate having to deal with customers. What's ironic is I will get little old ladies who will come up to me and ask questions without any hesitation or second thoughts. But there was this one time one of the employees told me I legitimately scared a grown man who asked "does he work here?" ;D
So that made it all worth while. Old people aren't afraid but grown men in their 30's fear me.

Long hair just suits me and short hair doesnt. Fortunatly I'm lucky enough to have a really good job that didnt require me to cut it. That was my main concern with long hair. I would never cut it for a job and If I had to cut it then F it I'll be a stripper or something where it would be appreciated Damn strait. I was fortunate to also get a job where hair isn't an issue. Oh no. My hairs too long now I can't work at Burger King Im really broken up over that I work for a merchandising company that services Target stores and fixes defective product, and I merchandise their sunglass departement, basically im a vendor who takes on jobs that Target asks my company to do. Right now I work 2 days a week of my choosing and pull in a minimum $200 a week. I plan on taking on some more stores soon. My mom complained for years, you can't get a job with hair like that. Now that I have a job with "hair like that" She recently started in about how she read somewhere that long hair can put a strain on your hair roots from the weight and cause you to have premature balding earlier than expected. My reply was "well if it all falls out then you can stop complaining about it now can you?"

i've been growing my hair out for periods of time for the past few years thinking "Yeah, im gonna look sooooo cool". but unfortunately i suffer from "Jew-Fro" so it didn't look good and made me look like Napoleon Dynamite. And so i would then cut my hair and look like a 100 pound Bob Backlund. But, i recently bought a hair straightener and so i am now in the process of growing it again. And one of these days, i will live my dream of looking like this

I look better with long hair, and I'm a rocker, and having enough hair to headbang is important to me

When you have long hair a breeze will seemingly arise out of nowhere, causing your mane to flow majestically. Especially when talking about something that is sacred to your people. No foolin'.

I don't remember posting in this thread, so if I repeat myself then I can always come back and delete one of the posts.
I'm growing my hair out longer, but every couple of months I get a trim to keep it looking "not s***ty" and even; once it gets to the right length I'm thinking of dying it black.
I've never had long hair before, so I'm getting all these ideas in my head. Should be good times.

Because it's pretty. Well, that's why I grow it anyway. Short hair looks stupid on me. Same. Agreed. And this is a stupid topic. Why aren't you asking why females tend to grow their hair long, rather than short?
