Hi guys and gals,
The last two days in a row I have been out and have received compliments about my hair. A couple of days ago I was checking out at a supermarket in Traverse City and the cashier(about 30-35 year old gal) said."I must tell you, I love your hair!" I said "Thank you!" She went on to talk about her boyriend who had to cut his hair for a job. She said his was longer than hers and hers was just over the shoulder.---Yesterday at a local eatery I walked in the door and stood in line to order food. A gal standing next to me(again about 30 to 35yrs old)said "Wow, you have great hair!" I said "Thank you!" Don't think her husband/boyfriend was all that impressed. He had a "butch" cut. Niceto recieve the compliments and I'm looking forward to getting out today!
peace, jonalbear
Even though there are a lot of haters out there, it's good to know that a lot of people genuinely LIKE long hair and will tell you so, if they're given the chance. Have a great day. Steve
OKCdude,
Yes, I has a little surprized and pleased to receive them!

Hi jonalbear,
Thanks for sharing your compliments with us. It is the kind of moments you share that makes being a long hair more meaningful.

Thanks rowie.

What a refreshing change to hear a couple of good news stories - Thanks jonalbear.
Thanks Ian. It is refreshing although I was a little concerned when the one gal told me her boyfriend "had" to get a haircut in order to get a job.
peace, jonalbear
Hey jonalbear,
Great to hear about your recent experiences -- and YES, I'd say that those 2 women know how to identify beautiful aesthetics when they see such a wonderful mane as yours, I fully agree with their high quality tastes in hair!!!
Take care... off to work now!!

Thanks Ken!

Isn't it great when someone speaks up about long hair? I try to make a comment whenever it is appropriate.
Thanks for sharing your experience...

Walter, Yeah, they let me out of my cage every once in a while! lol---- It is nice to make positive comments.

Hi Jonalbear,
May I add a compliment as well. Your hair looks absolutely fantastic with plenty of character.
Yes it is wonderful to be complimented on your hair. We need more positive actions in this world.
I am thinking for every one person who compliments you there are probably at least 10 who remain silent being shy or modest for fear of being viewed as being impersonal or trying to crack on to you.
Almost all the good compliments I get on my hair is from ladies and almost all of the negative ones are from balding men. The women in my life like my hair and support my choice.
Older more mature people with longer hair help make hair more acceptable to the mainstream and indirectly provide support for younger long haired youth.
cheers,
Duncan
Duncan, Thank you for your compliments. I expect you are correct that there are many more people that admire long hair on others silently,especially other men! Continuing to let the freak flag fly!
peace, jonalbear

I get mostly positive comments on my hair too. Having hair at knee length, I am hard to miss when out in public.
