xxoo Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 But have you ever tried a buzz cut? My h has one. He has to buzz his head every few weeks, and he still shampoos. I cut my hair, myself, about 3x a year, and shampoo. It's a draw
Els Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 My h has one. He has to buzz his head every few weeks, and he still shampoos. I cut my hair, myself, about 3x a year, and shampoo. It's a draw Damn, really? I keep my hair in a ponytail without styling most of the time, so it's relatively low maintenance, but even then it takes about 5 minutes to towel dry and comb (10+ minutes if I blow dry or style it). Shampoo and conditioner also takes longer due to the volume. My guy takes about 10 seconds to rub a tiny bit of shampoo through his hair and just shakes it after he comes out of the shower. He gets a cut every 2 months and I get one every 3 months. His style definitely wins the low-maintenance prize!
introverted1 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Thanks to everyone for their opinions...I really do appreciate them. So...what would be better then? I'm currently at this in terms of style/color/length: http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/32100000/Men-with-long-hair-men-with-long-hair-32142237-465-700.jpg Which option, in terms of “medium” length, is best then? 1.https://40.media.tumblr.com/9420c708f7c82d1e4dad914316c8a0a4/tumblr_nuzok2Z39G1skioofo1_500.jpg 2. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/55/6a/ce/556aceb0c6068892b995bb23d1bf3377.jpg 3. http://parfait-francais.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Mens-Long-Hair-Styles-3.jpg Or do I just go to this, which is where I was at before, and is “the most masculine” look of all, I guess: 4. http://www.lustyfashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Professional-buzz-cut-for-men.jpg #3. 10 characters
GravityMan Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 OP: I think the problem with your hair isn't solely that it's long. It's more likely because it looks feminine, partly due to the way you wear your hair. I don't know what your face looks like, but if it's a "pretty boy" face, that can exacerbate the feminine effect in the eyes of others. There are lots of women who like long hair on guys. However, I think most of them still want men to physically look masculine. There are guys out there who have long hair and still unquestionably look like men. The guy has to have the right kind of face and build to pull it off. With that said, if you like your hair style, then keep it. Self-confidence (which includes "not caring too much about what others - especially strangers - think") matters 100X more than hair. Don't change your hair style or any other physical attributes of yours in a lame attempt to please others or attract attention. 1
PogoStick Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I started growing my hair out at New Years and it's approaching #2 in length (will take a few more months though). Lot's of the younger women who have seen it growing out simply hate it. Even the girl I'm currently dating said she didn't like it when we met, but it didn't stop her from going on more dates. However now, a few months later and longer, she likes it; I think because she likes me. She can't help but run her hands through my hair and comment on how nice it is. Also, my previous 2 girlfriends who have seen it both said they like it too. I have to have my hair tied back working in a hospital but it's not long enough to get it all into 1 tail so I have to do something like the samurai: https://kristobaldude.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/hairstyle-51.jpg I've also noticed in the healthcare setting there are quite a few guys with unconventional looks, whether it be long hair, tails/buns, or crazy big beards. In that sense, they are used to freaks like me. It looks ridiculous but Fk em! Personally, I think it may be an obstacle on 1st impressions, but actually becomes an asset when you can overcome it. When the woman likes you, she'll like/accept your hair, and then be subconsciously turned on that you are strong, independent, unique, and do whatever the F you want.

jen1447 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 #2 is good, or RC's examples. 3's not really even long, more like a basic haircut, so if you still want to be long-ish but not Bon Jovi, do the others. 1
lemoncello Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 e4u: At the end of the day, the only person's opinion that matters is yours. It's your hair after all. Choose the cut that makes you happiest. Women aren't attracted to sexy hair. Don't be too sexy for your hair, like the duo Right Said Fred is too sexy for their song. Get a nice haircut, be yourself, and leave it at that. Dating is a numbers game anyway and no haircut will ensure anything except that you were lucky to get an experienced hair stylist who cut your hair the right way.
