New DU Group proposal--Men with Long Hair

[Longgrain]

Not serious of course. But how many other guys out there have long hair like me.

[arcane1]

1. me!

[jus_the_facts]

4. s'niiiiice too....

:hi:

[Redneck Socialist]

2. When I had hair I did.

Alas poor me, where, oh where did my youth go?

[Longgrain]

9. I know, mine's noticeably thinner as I hit my thirties

Mostly around my forehead at this point, but I can see it slowly receding.

But it does give me an interesting Shakespearian brow.

[Nikia]

3. I'm a woman, but we have a close male friend with long hair

He sayd that he has faced discrimination because of that, especially when looking for a job. For example, there have beeen times that he has had an enthusisastic phone interview where they make it sound like they really want to hire him. Then he goes to the in person interview and they look at him weird and treat him completely differently.
I have seen pictures of him, when he had shorter hair a few years ago. He looks much better with long hair.
Why do some people think less of guy's with long hair. Are men supposed to be conformists?

[Longgrain]

8. Luckily my employer is pretty liberal

and I've had the same job for fifteen years (since about the last time I had a hair cut) Since I was eighteen I've had long hair, only trimmed it slightly once for my sisters wedding. So many people have urged me to cut it, but I like it, so from now I'm sticking with it.

41. if YOU like it, keep it

at least as long as you can.

i always had long hair, but finally, one day i looked in the mirror and said OMG! is THAT what i look like?

i used to have really thick, coarse hair. at it's longest it was down to my waist.

as you get older, not only does it start changing colors, but it also thins, and the hair shaft gets finer.

put all that together and it doesn't look anything like it used to.

so, i chopped it all off with clippers. it's about 1/4 inch all over. i felt if i couldn't do it right, i wouldn't do it at all.

it IS a lot easier to deal with, obviously, but i miss my mane. :-(

edit to add, i am an administrator at a major nyc medical school. there is a graduate student here who is at least six feet tall and has a pony tail down to his knees. THAT IS SO COOL!!!

PLUS it is very healthy, beautiful hair. i am so envious.

[slutticus]

5. I'm In!

:bounce:

[puerco-bellies]

6. Very Long Hair.

And a broker in a button-down office too!

[randr]

7. Decided years ago I would not cut my hair

until we had peace in our world.

[JohnKleeb]

10. Yep

Hey.

[Longgrain]

11. Really?

The picture I saw of you your hair looked short to me. Mine's not as long as some but it does go down past my shoulders.

[JohnKleeb]

12. yeah not hippy long but not short either

I think I had it recently cut in that photo honest. I got really thick hair too.

[Longgrain]

13. You got to get us a new photo

perhaps one with that Rep. you're interning with? That would be cool.B-)

[JohnKleeb]

14. I'll have that photo in a few days

I think, I think a better picture would be needed though since I had my 5:00 ahadow today, goddamnit thats what happens when you forget to shave.

[Longgrain]

20. If you've seen the most recent pictures of myself that I've posted

(sans wedding gown) you'd see I have a little bit more than a five o'clock shadow...

(seriously tho, If you ever need some help with Image hosting, let me know...)

[Beaverhausen]

15. Men with Long Hair- and the women who love them

I love guys with long hair!

[Kat45]

25. So do I.

I've gone out with a number of them, and I currently have several as friends. But there aren't too many around these days--man, sometimes I miss the late '80s. :-)

[StopTheMorans]

16. *points* hippies!

[BikeWriter]

32. Ouch! You poked my eye out! Where's a Mod when you need one?

;-)

[MrSlayer]

[AlCzervik]

22. The DU hair club for men

[liberalhistorian]

23. Oooooh, ooooohh, ooooooohhh,

men with long hair, be still my pounding heart! :evilgrin: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

BTW, Longgrain, I've decided I'm going to buy myself a HUGE box of chocolates on Valentine's Day, just for me, to work on all week; I'm also going to soak in a nice HOT bubble bath for as long as I want on Monday night!

[Longgrain]

27. HMMMMMMMMM!

Hope you'll be thinking of me while your doing so...;)

[liberalhistorian]

31. Yes, of course,

you and your fireplace! (didn't think I was going to forget about that, did ya?) I just love fireplaces, SOOO romantic. Not that I've been near one for romantic purposes lately, sigh.

So, what's your favorite in a box of chocolates? I'll be sure to save it for you! :evilgrin:

[Longgrain]

34. Pecan clusters and carmel filled

don't care much for the cream filled ones...

[RetroLounge]

24. Oooh, I miss having long hair sometimes...

RL

[ronzo]

[johnnie]

[Longgrain]

29. TOO ALL WHO RESPONDED TO THIS THREAD

Please see the ATA forum pronto!

:7

[BikeWriter]

35. So... Do we need to back you up over there or what?

[Longgrain]

36. I'm joking man

:P

Tho it will be interesting to see what Skinner's response is...

:hippie:

[BikeWriter]

37. ROFLOL! ;-)

[BikeWriter]

30. The hair is down to my chest on the sideswhen I comb it down...

...The beard reaches navel length.

[Kire]

39. I dream I have long hair quite often....

...even though I cut mine off eleven years ago.

[Dying Eagle]

40. I DO!!

It has been long since I was 10, I am 24 now. It is currently about 3 inches past my shoulders. At the longest it was at the middle of my back.

My wife loves it. I just take my hair out of my ponytail and give that come-hither look and we...well......you know the rest :)

[Shananigans]

42. I'm all about long hair on men as long as it is healthy...

I can't STAND it when men have long hair, but don't get it trimmed to be healthy and such. The 17 different lengths thing just doesn't do it for me (but hey, to each their own) Although I prefer the clean cut look there have been a few men with beautiful long hair that I have definately batted an eyelash over.

[Cobalt Violet]

43. Just so you know there are DU hair professionals lurking on this thread.

Or should that be a DU professional.

[dweller]

44. Do combovers count?

just checking.

45. Mine's on its way again

Over the last five years I've grown my hair past my shoulders and then chopped it short again for various reasons. I'm now growing mine long again, but since I'm growing it out from a shaved head I got last June it's still not exactly long, as the top needs to catch up quite a bit to the rest of it so it won't look so "mullet"-ish!
