Real men have long hair?
i was recently tangled into an enticing discussion on long hair. what kind of men do you believe have long hair?
rapists? gays? victims to beastiality obsession?
or maybe your take on the matter is sex symbols or heros.
a wise man once said, "excluding the people on the disney channel and men in politics, every man with long hair is automatically a sex icon."
now the matter must be tackled in the most unbiased way possible. so before writing this essay, i cut my hair to see both sides of the argument. i have done little reseach and most of the facts were pulled from the top of my head.
sure, mr. clean, superman, and lincoln did not sport the long hair.
but who do we see sporting it today?
it is sad to say that the general population of long haired people are hipsters and trendy teenagers.
but what real men have long hair? we could take a look at our classical days; jesus, vikings, and even samurais. or in fantasy or science fiction; Legolas, Aragorn, and the dude from star trek with the fucked up forehead (i know the name, that just rolls off the tongue better).
you have to ask yourself the question: "are these the kind of people we want running our world?
a concept picture, indeed, but the fact of the matter is hitler had short hair. you just have to think about it.
coincidence? N*sync, backstreet boys, dave matthews -- he's actually a pretty cool guy, but most people consider him to be (insert homosexual adjective).
i left a lot of points out on purpose. i want you to disagree and extrapolate. just think, some people actually believe hair affects personality.
If i grew my hair out, i'd just look an idiot. There's pictorial proof of this somewhere on the interweb. Though, cut my hair too short, and i look a neo-Nazi poster boy. Best, methinks, to keep it about the length of young Rimbaud pictured in my avatar.
I suppose that means short, but i'd rather have it this length than look like that retarded asian fellow up there.
what about women with short hair?
I find that i quite like short hair on a girl.
but you wouldn't let those kind of people run our world would you?
I can't do short hair. I have elf ears.
Good coffee is like drinking Rock and Roll.
i suppose we all know the famous D word for women with short hair.
i AM NOT, in any way, againts gays, but the common population, in a recent scientific, double-blind study, believe that lesbians have short hair.
i'm not hating on gays at all here. but that asian does look pretty gay, if you ask me.
Oh, absolutely not.
why is this in the politics and current affairs forum?
Is this the essay or just like the preamble to it that you haven't posted yet?
I change my original vote. I support long haired men. All the good ones have long hair. From wrestlers to glamrockstars to pirates. And, most impostantly:
i know, dude. i tried saying this.
but i still truly believe this essay belongs in the politics and current affairs sub-section.
this explains it all.
What essay?
I feel like writing a real essay about this but i got this feeling his just looking for someone to do his homework.
a. i dont go to school.
b. this essay wasn't meant to have a lot of factual material. just a glance, and something to talk about. if you are serious about seeing a real essay on this, say the word.

I'd elaborate, but I'm stoned.
That means you're The Best type of lady to have short hair! Elf ears and a pixie cut looks great. (please note I am not into any sort of fantasy literature or gaming)
!
Hey, you know what's annoying? When your hair-cut cycle syncs up with someone around you. I've gotten to the point where I really want to have my hair cut but it feels awkward because my boss just had his hair cut and we normally go for fairly similar styles. Guess I'll be having longhair then.
!
Shoulda just come to me mang. Coulda set you straight.
And that Asian guy's hair is not long.
Sincerely yours,

This is why we can't have nice things.
Long hair can be a factor, but the true test of rugged individualist masculinity is TEH BEARD.
"They sold you hippies grunge, hip hop, now liberty activism."
hey, cool discussion. i remember a scene from a novel which has stuck with me over the years, a conversation that goes like this-
"hey...why do you wear your hair long?"
"cos i consider long hair a fuck you kind of statement, and i consider myself a fuck you kind of guy".
ill just say to u guys i havent read all the responses (being lazy like that) so maybe this has already been posted. i doubt it though.
My hair is medium length with it closer to long than short.
Short hair on guys is for military people or gay people or red necks. Just my opinion.
Short hair on girls is UGLY! I was not attracted to Halle Berry for this reason. Just disgusting.
Like the song says, give me a head with hair. Long beautiful hair.
I think most guys with long hair look silly. Most, not all.
Endless Mike, how weird that you think guys with short hair are rednecks, I tend to think guys with long hair are rednecks or stoners, methheads etc. Unless they're surfers. I live in California which I bring up because maybe that's why I have this perception of long haired guys.
Bit too much maybe?
Anyway. The only guys I know or see with long hair are the metal-music type.

“...There are so many ways of being despicable it quite makes one's head spin. But the way to be really despicable is to be contemptuous of other people's pain. You ought to have some apprehension that the man you see before you was once even younger than you are now and arrived at his present wretchedness by imperceptible degrees.”
-James Baldwin

These are the dumbest opinions ever. Tell me this girl's not glorious.
Oh, i love her. And Keira Knightley, Natalie Portman, swoonville, i say.
I cannot generalize this one when it comes to men.
because longer hair is awesome on dave grohl
but terrible on the crackhead around the corner...
but I personally don't like women with short hear. unless they are older. (obviousy there are a few expections ^^)
I had a traumatic incident with scissors when i was 6 and my hair has been
long ever since.

Uhhh, yeah. I'm pretty sure those don't exist.

Grr. You win this round Rathke. I went overboard. I apologize to you shorties (a term of endearment I assure you) out there. I ask however that you compare two pictures of the same person:
How about the lovely Natalie Portman as an example:
compared to:
And maybe when I said red neck I meant the skinhead type.
I actually think the picture of bald Natalie Portman looks better than the other picture of her that was posted.
I concur.
I wish I could have pixie-short hair, but can't for a multitude of reasons.
A. I have a very chipmunkesque face
B. My hair isn't thick enough to do any cute shortish 'do
C. Bricks would be shat by my mom if I cut all my hair off.
I love longish hair on guys, though. Anything from "too long to be normal" hair to shoulder-length. <3
The women with short hair conversation is more interesting. Add another vote from me that short hair on the right lady is awesome.
Why is my hair long? Because I don't cut it.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Natalie Portman was adorable with short hair. Not necessarily when it was *that* short but more like this...
I also think Michelle Williams looks great with short hair.

I have pretty much looked the same forever. I tried to do hair cuts and dye jobs but I have this really thin, baby soft hair that doesn't take a style. In the pictures I posted from Charleston, I actually forgot my brush at home and had only washed it and slept with it towel dried. I can't maintain a short hair style. I have no style. I do not do things to myself that require tons of upkeep. If I can't do my hair in less than 5 minutes and without a blow dryer and styling products, then it's not for me.
That said, I still don't like to see a guy with prettier hair than mine.

That is exactly how I am when it comes to my hair. Once I get away from Kevin, my hair stylists, I'm back to not wanting to mess with it. I often only try when I know I am going to see Kevin out and about.

Me too... all of this.
I've had a haircut like, 2 times in the past four years. And it's never a new style, it's just to cut the dead ends off. 
I wish I had awesome hair, though.
My husband has long hair AND a beard. My hair is long...too long,I can tuck in in my pants.(I have no beard)
I am fueled by filth and fury.

that picture made me blush
This weekend in Charlotte, I was driving behind a white Bronco with a plate that said, "NOT OJ". They turned before I could get a picture.
Also, I won't tell you my feelings about hair. Sorry, but I had to comment on your choice of OJ.
