Girls, what do you think about longer hair on guys? I have talked with some of my female friends about this and most of them say it's sexy when done right. I myself have longer hair, and while sometimes it's a hassle i wouldn't get rid of it for anything. So what do you girls think?

I'm a guy, but just giving what some of my (girl) friends have said.
My hair used to be pretty long for lazy teenage shag, maybe a few inches long at the top, and it covered my ears/eyebrows when it was down. Most of my girl friends thought that I should cut it short and spike it. However, my girlfriend prefers it longer. I think it's because she can fiddle with it, while everyone else just has to. . .look.

I'm not a girl, but I'm going to answer this question anyway.

For about 10 years I had long hair. It was down to my waist. Long, blond, curly hair. Girls LOVED it. lurkette loved it.

I finally got sick of it and cut it, about two years ago. I don't regret that decision, exactly, but there are times when I wish I had it back.

lurkette

It's definitely sexy when it's done right (i.e., clean, not stringy, kept trimmed up, not in a mullett). I loved and envied Ratbastid's long hair. Sigh.

Personally, appreciating long hair on a guy is a weakness of mine.
I will seriously check out a man sporting well-groomed, i.e. clean and not all over the place, hair. Yum.

Girls seem to love it... What more reason do I need to keep my hair?

I used to have hair down to my chin up until i was a sophomore in high school. There's one girl that still asks me to grow it out again.

The only "cool" way to have long hair is if you are sporting a mullet. Other then that, long hair is about as cool as Michael Bolten is

rival

A mullet and a Trans Am will get you all the girls.

I had sort of long hair once. I didn't go about it the right way, though. I just decided one day that I was no longer going to get my hair cut. It took me about a year to actually break down and have it cut again. Needless to say, by then my hair was all over the place.

Long hair is nice when clean and well trimmed. If it's just scraggley it looks like the guy is just too lazy to have it cut and to wash it. I've known guys who even have enough to make a long cue. I like it and it makes a man attractive to me to have long CLEAN trimmed hair. I like men shaved bald too so I guess hair isn't a big deal to me. No rainbow clowny colors though please.

I totally agree with Double D, I have such a weakness for guys with long hair, anything past or touching the shoulders, just something extra to grab a hold of. It's one of the first things I notice on a guy.
Mullets= Icky
Stringy, unkept hair=Icky

I have naturally long curly hair and it's a pain in the butt, so I understand the frustrations but, I suggest keeping it and keeping it long

Plan9Senior

That would make a sick T-Shirt !

sexymama

[It's definitely sexy when it's done right (i.e., clean, not stringy, kept trimmed up, not in a mullett).]

Very true! And if the guy doesn't wear it long, then my preference is short and spikey. However, what is most important is that the guy feels good about how he appears. The most attractive feature on a man is his attitude.

I had long hippy hair for a few years and it was great. I think that I wan't taken so seriously when it was long though. I'd love to have long hair again, but I don't think I can do it anymore. I'm starting to get thinner up top. Enjoy it while and if you can!

onodrim

Mmmmm, love long hair on a guy! Like everyone here has already stated, when it's cut right and well groomed, long hair on a guy is just stunning. I've always preferred long hair over short. I'm not sure why, maybe it's my love of the middle ages, or maybe it was Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall. Either way, guys, grow out your hair!

i had long hair, and then dreads for about 10 years. Chicks hated the long curly hair, but loved the dreads. Conclusion: long hair is only cool if unkempt. well kept long hair on a guy is gay anyway.

I was afraid I couldn't get laid if I cut off my dreads. But I didn't care enough to keep 'em. Nothing seems to have changed with short hair, but the cops don't pay any attention to me anymore.

lady

Personally, not into long hair on guys.

my wife won't let me cut my hair, my hair goes down to almost my waist....my initial MTV id picture is of me with short hair.. when I cut it for 2 years when I was out looking for a job in the mid90s. she says it would severely deteriorate the "fun zone" time.

My hair was just as long...if not a little longer when I finally cut it. It was down to my ass. Brown, wavy hair. Girls liked it but most of them go for clean cut guys so my hair wasn't exactly helping the dating situation.

I do regret cutting it, and a couple of my female friends even cried when they saw me after it was cut.

Double D

Really? You don't like guys with long hair?
Is it the long hair or the guy wearing it that you don't like, or both?

Rodney

For about 30 years, I've worn my hair about an inch below the collar. I'm not the best groomer in the world, but I keep it clean and it's got a natural wave. My wife loves it, and often discourages me from going to the barber "too soon."

SexyCat

Long hair just doesn't do anything for me. I prefer it to be short, and curly

eyeronic

I used to have really long hair. I've had it at all lengths and short seems to suit me now(but still just a bit Beatles-esque). I've found that the ladies seem to greatly prefer short hair. In Mexico, though, they really loved the long hair. Don't ask me why. Cultural difference, I guess.

Right now I've got fairly long hair.. just got it cut a bit so tis not AS long as it was, was close to my shoulders for a while. Its kind of cool.. because my bangs right now if I pull them down go about to the tip of my nose, but when I let go it springs back up=P /shrug I am happy with it.

I tend to find that older women compliment me on my hair more often than younger.. might be a generational thing. (I'm 18 myself)

ha when I was a bit younger and it was longer.. if I brushed it out I had a fro to be reckoned with=P

I've had short hair all my life, finally been letting it grow out for a bout a year now.

I've noticed a difference. The style is coming back. Alot of girls love it.

I can't stand when my hair grows out longer than a like 4 inches. I usually keep it pretty well trimmed, but when it gets longer it's much harder to take care of.
*luff for my short, curly, blond hair*

long hair on guys looks great depending on the guy and the style, that and of course keeping it clean and getting a trim every now and then

my boyfriend doesn't have really long hair, but it isn't short although he just told me today that he cut it short,
i have mixed feelings about whether i want to see it or not

i liked having something to play with

Averett

A little of both Sure, there are some guys with longish hair that I find attractive. BUt generally not.. Reminds me too much of bad 80's hair bands! If it's much past their collars, I usually don't like it...

I like the feeling of rubbing the back of a guys head who has short hair...

I cut my hair recently after having it quite long for a while. It wasn't that long, my friends started calling me Sunshine, because i looked like the guy (called Sunshine) in the Remeber the Titans movie.

Anywho, I washed it everyday, but it became a bit of a nuisance when i play basketball, although wasn't too bad. I mainly cut it for a change. The girl i like seems to like it better short, but i don't think that changes anything else

anleja

I was going to make a post of the same thing. It was a hard decision to cut my hair (halfway down my back), but I noticed I was taken more seriously by people than when it was long. Not as many strangers came up to me to ask how to get pot, etc.

I think it'll be good to grow it long again. For those cold winter nights, something to keep me warm. Too bad there is that strange mid-phase, where it is too long for it to look good, but too short to do anything with. Lasts only a couple months, though. Yeah, I think I'll do that.

I love long hair on men. That is if it is on the right man and it is well taken care of.

Cynthetiq

I used to get that all the time. It was funny the first 200 times, then got annoying.

The seriousness part, I think came down to me just building my credibility. Once that happened, I became well known for getting results and things accomplished. I was always taken seriously.

I want my hair to be long and white, think Sephiroth from Final Fantasy. Asian culture equates long hair with wisdom, Western culture equates white hair with wisdom. I want to put the two together.

Well, I figured I'd go for the long hair look, just to try it out. In my small town, no guys have long hair. So I thought I'd be different. And I'm still not sure that I wouldn't look good with long hair, but the actual growing-it-out stage is what sucked ass, so I finally had to cut it. I had the whole Beatle look going, and I looked fucking ridiculous, I'm so glad I cut it. Although, if I could, I would wake up tomorrow with long hair for one day just to check it out. But I don't think I'll ever have long hair, cause I hate the period between short and long, it was so gay.
