As an admirer of very long hair om both men and women and as someone who desires to have knee-length hair one day I'd like to hear from people with thigh, knee or longer hair. How does it feel to have a hair length that most very long haired women don't even have? How do you deal with all the attention?

I'm not sure it's [possible for any man to reach knee length. I max out at about waist length. My hair never really got longer than about my belt line on my pants.
Each of us has a different terminal length. I've never seen a man with real hair make it even close to the knees.
To be honest, even waist length is a bit much to take care of and sometimes have to work around. I can't imagine my hair being even longer than that.
There are exceptions...I've seen pictures of men with hair down to their feet, and one of a Jamaican man with dreadlocked (so it would have been longer that it seemed) hair in excess of 10 feet!
it would actually be shorter than it seems, because many many many of the hairs stuck in there have already stopped growing and fallen out, they're just there cause they're knotted in
Valid point ;)
Talking of extreme hair length...Hoo Sateow, a Thai medicine man, had his hair length officially verified on November 21st, 1997 at 5.15M [16ft 11in]. He was recorded as having the worlds longest hair.
I believe this gentleman may have passed away last year.

before I cut my hait short (i hadn't cut it for seven years) it never got longer than approx. to the nipples. (heh, also a way to measure).
i don't know why, but it was of course in very bad condition, and that's the only reason I miss it, I love long hair that looks "wild".
btw, I have curly/wavy hair in a very strange way, and it was actually as wide as long, not like a triangle, but with great width starting already from the top of the head.

The men cut their hair in front to form a pompadour which was held high and in place with a combination of bear grease and clay. Hair was of the utmost importance to Crow men, and their goal was to have hair that drug the ground. To accomplish this, they saved the hair they cut, as well as hair that was naturally shed, and wove extensions into the head hair. When this was not long enough, they would braid wide falls of human hair and animal hair (especially horsehair after this became available) which they attached to head hair with buckskin strips. There are historical photos showing Crow men on horseback with hair that actually covered the horse's rump! Someone commented recently that the Crow invented mousse and hair weaving. Nothing is new —

I think soooo long hair sucks, hippies!!
We may all have different visions of what looks good or bad.
But, let's keep the juvenile name calling off this board.
There are so few men who have both the ability and desire to grow waist-length hair, let alone hair that is as long as they are tall.
We should rejoice that some men (and some women) do wear their hair waist-length or longer. Let's encourage others (of either sex) to let their hair grow out to the length that they desire.
Freedom, like any other skill, needs to be practiced every day!
Lastly, Try Tolerance!

If anyone does indeed have super length hair, PLEASE POST PICS!!!! You should be proud to sport such length hair!!!!
You would enjoy the book Mystic Warriors of the Plains which shows many plains Indian tribes hairstyles, including some that drag behind them when they walk, but flow when riding a horse at a gallop.
Or, consider a vacation here to Lake Powell, adjacent to the Navajo Nation where many Navajo women have hair below their waists.
Knew a therapist in Tucson, of Native American heritage, who had hair down to the floor. Been a few years, no clue where he is now.
my boyfriend has dreadlocks that reach the back of his knees and he's 5'5" tall. they are amazing!
