Hi All, --- and a special welcome to all the newcomers who've recently introduced themselves (females included)!
I had an amazing conversation with a longhair, a total stranger, while shopping at Trader Joe's just last night...
I couldn't help but notice the guy, since he had a VERY full head of hair tied back into a loooooooooooong ponytail that reached all the way down to mid-butt. He was shopping with a woman that I'd guess to be his wife or girlfriend; but mega-length hair tends to make me forget all my usual shyness and timidity with strangers, and I just went ahead and walked right up to him and asked him my usual question that I ask any other fellow-longhair...
"So, how long did it take you to grow your hair that long?"
"About 4 years, from when it was last cut just above my shoulders, --- I donated it.", he replied.
"4 years, --- NO WAY!!!!" was my idiotic response, "I've been growing mine for nearly 7 years, and I'm only now just able to reach my belt line."
"Yup, 4 years: my secret is that I just have a lot of sex!"
At this comment, I couldn't help but notice his short-haired girlfriend, wondering if she had overheard his comment... Fortunately, she seemed to be very absorbed with her shopping activities, --- otherwise, i would have felt a little embarrassed!
"In fact, there's been a lot of written records to prove that sailors who've been away for a long time out at sea, upon approaching land, will grow their hair and fingernails 4 times as fast, because of the anticipation of coming ashore to meet up with a woman."
I told him that I had never heard of that; but i couldn't help but laugh at the idea, --- thinking to myself: if true, that's really cool... the only problem for me with that is... um... that I'm gay (lol)!!

Haha! Nice story. :)
So that´s the secret? I need to get myself a girl, pronto!
Lmao, it could be true!!! If you can't have sex try masturbating like crazy all day long, maybe it helps lol
....and poor old White Tail has the officially slowest growing hair on the MLLH. sigh...
Damned, Walter, I thought this slow growing hair thing we have was just because we were old. [wink]

Why do you think I take all of those hair vitamins? :o)
Don't know how valid those claims are, but I used to play trivia games a lot to pass time. There was one question that sometimes came up that followed along those same lines - Anticipation of sex makes beards grow faster!
...we should all get on a slow boat to...
No, but really, I cannot imagine anything--even just thinking about sex--making hair
grow 2 inches per month or 2 feet per year!
I do not doubt the man when he says he has been growing for only 4 years but he did
say that he started out with shoulder-length hair.
Maybe he was having so much sex that he lost track of the time...
...he..he...
