I was reading the comments for Bloom County on Facebook and noticed this;

That does it...........i'll have to wear my hair in a bun more often especially where this comment has 146 likes.
I will too if I can figure out how to do it.
LOL! Not sure either.
I'll never understand why people care how strangers wear their hair. It's such a waste of time and energy. Much easier to be nice and let people do what makes them happy.
I agree with you, Steve. Some people spend way too much time caring about what others are doing, instead of just living their own lives and letting other people live theirs.
Rocking the bun today at university. Chicks dig it, balding guys hate it. Take your pick c:
The balding guys are jealous that we have hair and they don't.
We are all born with the genes we get from our parents. It does not make much sense to me to take pride in, or be jealous about, things that we have no control over.
That being said, show me a boss complaining about a male employee with long hair and i'll show you a boss who is going bald and is jealous that the employee has hair and he doesn't. At 61 years old i've worked alot of jobs and i've found this be true.
Also in my travels recently i've noticed alot of guys who are
letting their grow. And many of them are working at places you wouldn't expect to allow long hair. (Like the jewelry store at the mall or the popcorn stand at the mall.)
There was a job I had a long time ago where the only guy who complained about my long hair was a bald guy. He wasn't even a boss. He was on the same grade as me. Nobody who was actually bald has ever commented since.
Later on, in another job, the boss said he thought I should cut my hair, but he didn't say it in such a way that it was even a request, more like a suggestion that I could take or leave. He later offered me a transfer to the USA, with a promise of a promotion that it turned out had already been promised to someone else, and the someone else got that promotion, not me. Moral: don't relocate for a promise of pie in the sky. Insist on pie now.
Since then, the only time it got even slightly awkward was in a job interview, where I was asked why I still had long hair. Not because he'd ever seen me before, but because he apparently thought it outdated. I didn't get that job, but I think it was because I didn't have a comeback to the question. If I had confidently said because it's a free country, or any seemingly sensible answer, I might even have got the job.
However, there will always be a nagging suspicion that some people might have offered me a job, or a better job, if I didn't have long hair. BUT, I am kept from cutting it by the certain knowledge that not having long hair is no guarantee of anything whatsoever.
