Author Green Posted June 22, 2010 Author Posted June 22, 2010 So by your logic here, your original assertion backed only by your personal experience would be as meaningless and insignificant as each of our own responses, yes...? And wouldn't we need a million honest responses from men claiming to have more success with long hair for your own post to mean more than...ummm...nothing...? If you read the first line I write in the OP "Just something I noticed for myself" is what I write and that is my logic. The logic of what I can notice for myself and what I need to be shown to dispute what I have seen for myself ARE GOING TO BE DIFFERENT and that is VERY LOGICAL. SO tell me have you ever in recent times let your hair grow long for any significan period of time say a few months... and what have you noticed?
USMCHokie Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 I believe that if you have a position/view on something and the things said by other people have not changed that view then why would you just change it because a few people disagree. Lacks logic There is nothing wrong with having a differing view or position on a certain topic, and it'd certainly be a weak character trait to be one who changes his/her position simply because others express a different position. But you don't assert your viewpoints as just that, viewpoints. You present them as general conclusory statements that encompass a majority of people, or the "average", or the entire population of women, etc... And then you insist that the opposition bring a million counterexamples to back up their view...while all you have to offer is a single person's opinion...not a very strong foundation for argument...
USMCHokie Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 SO tell me have you ever in recent times let your hair grow long for any significan period of time say a few months... and what have you noticed? I had long hair for the majority of my childhood. Last time I had long hair was a little over 3 years ago, and I hadn't started dating yet, so my personal experience on the matter would be irrelevant to this discussion.
fishtaco Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Long hair gets more attention, because it's less common. People, both men and women, will remember you. But some women absolutely LOVE men with long hair, and about the same percentage consider that a big turn off. I'd say more than half of the time I don't think they care, it's just different. So percentage-wise I'd say it's a wash, but you do get the extra attention. It also serves as an easy ice breaker if a woman wants to approach you, she'll obviously comment about the hair, or give your hair a playful tug, etc. However, it does require care. Luckily not as much as women -- a guy can get away with more messy and/or less healthy hair. But jacked up long hair looks really really bad, so some care is required. There are a ton of products out there for that. I'd say overall it's an attention-getter that's on the positive side. But this "positive effect" will disappear if a lot of other guys also have long hair, so I'd say it'd be good to discourage other men from growing out their hair long.
Pyro Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Unless I had over a milion responses and they were FROM MEN claiming to have less sucess with long hair compaired to short... and they were HONEST... then it means nothing. I know that for myself I experience a lot more sucess with my hair long then short. My current gf loves my hair long. If you look at any popular actor you will see that they almost all go through phases where they have LONG hair. My original point stands "Long hair gets the girl" then you would need over a million responses from guys who say that longer hair has given them more success to mean something according to you. I have experienced more success with short hair than when I had it long, so we are even there. You can't use actors as an example because they are rich and famous and thats why they get girls, whether its short or long hair. Your post is no more valid than "short hair gets the girl"

Your post is no more valid than "short hair gets the girl" FISHTACO had a good POST Your post is valid if that is your experience. But seriously if you've had your hair short for the past few years then of course you are going to think that short hair gave you the good luck... because being older helps with women too. Really the question is have you had long hair for any decent ammount of time recently. PLUS you have GF and you are in the HONEYMOON phase so really other then KEEPING HER down the line you have nothing to worry about for atleast the next few months to a year.

What I have learned through past experiences and my character is what has helped me, not my hair. I look pratica lly the same since I had long hair. What exactly would I be worried about? and what does the honeymoon phase have to do with anything? Long hair does work for some guys, and some it does not. Same thing with short hair. Some girls like the long hair on guys and some do not.
Southern Belle Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 I also prefer short hair on a man. And the actor Jeremy Sisto (from the first "long hair" pic that you posted) is a fine specimen of a man, but looks better with short hair, IMO.
Ruby Slippers Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 I love long hair on men, especially when it's just long enough to be raggedy and bedheaded. GAH! Love getting my hands in that kinda hair. This thread calls for pictures of long-haired (mostly 70s) rockers! David Bowie Neil Young Jeff Buckley Robert Plant
Author Green Posted June 23, 2010 Author Posted June 23, 2010 This is a load of horse hooey, bwahahaha. Your comment is classic equine hooey.
sarah1268 Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 long hair is the BEST on guys, my bf had short hair when we started going out and now hes grown it to his shoulders, ( and straightens it) haha we have our own GHDs....and its so sexxy. he looks like a calvin klein model
seekandfind Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 This is the hair that gets you the girl! and no it has nothing to do with the claws haha
Author Green Posted June 23, 2010 Author Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) This is the hair that gets you the girl! and no it has nothing to do with the claws haha I'd consider that to be long hair. Wolverine surely has long hair http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/8037/wolverine%20variant.jpg and it looks bad ass Hugh Jackman the actor who plays him also often has long hair http://dailyblabber.ivillage.com/entertainment/hughJAckamn.jpg http://media.photobucket.com/image/hugh%20jackman%20long%20hair/narrows101/Comic%20Con%202008/Hugh-Jackman-W_l.jpg Edited June 23, 2010 by Green
make me believe Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Even though I LOVE my boyfriend's long hair, I don't think that most women are more attracted to long hair than short. If anything, with the right guy it won't matter at all. But I think that most of us have different definitions of "long hair" on a guy. There's a huge difference in those last pics that Green posted and the picture of Robert Plant that Ruby Slippers posted. I actually don't really consider the pics Green or seekandfind posted to be very long at all... do most people? I mean, it's longer than the super short, spikey hair that a lot of guys have, but it's not really LONG. My boyfriend's hair is longer and I adore it. (I didn't when I first met him though. My first comment to the friend who introduced us was "you didn't tell me he had long hair..." and she said "so?" because once you get used to it, you forget that it's kinda out of the ordinary for most people.)
espec10001 Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 your words not mine. You really have quite the agenda in every post you make. How much of an ego do you have to have to come into a thread and tell the OP to just stop. How much of an ego does some chump with long hair have believing he is God's gift to women?
Mimolicious Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Just something I've noticed for myself but when I let my hair grow long I do seem to get A LOT of posotive attention from women. Like women just seem to remember me better (like women at the mall or supermarket being like "HEY I REMEMBER YOU" or "HI" in a way that shows they remember) Plus when you have long hair women will just look for excuses to come and talk to you about it, heck they even touch it. Feels good to have my gf run her hands through my long hair. So my DATING advice... LET YOUR HAIR GROW LONG MEN Unless you are Fabio and filming "I can't believe is not butter" 2.0 commercial this is a NO-NO! I wouldn't look twice at a man with longer mane than mine.
Fay Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) LONG HAIR ALL THE WAY Long hair can make even an unattractive guy look almost F-able. As long as he's not fat, that is... Yngwie Malmsteen = FAIL Young Chris Cornell = WIN Edited June 23, 2010 by Fay
Shakz Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Long hair just requires too much care. No amount of p*ssy is worth all that drying and brushing.
EnigmaXOXO Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Another LONG hair lover, here. Of course, not all men can pull it off. You have to have the right facial structure for it. J gets attention all the time from women coming up to comment and compliment him on it. Then again, it’s gorgeous on him. I think it gets attention because it’s not typical of all the cookie cutter, shaved-head and tattooed guys you see these days. While it’s certainly a matter of individual taste and preference, I find long hair on attractive men to be sooooo sexy and exotic.

It also takes a certain level of confidence, which is sexy too of course. My boyfriend also gets attention from women about his hair. It can be kind of annoying at times!
