I am the only person in the world that seems to like my hair! I love my hair! I think it looks great! But nobody else seems to. Even people that don't come out and tell me to get a haircut don't like it. I mentioned a while back to one of my friends that has never made one comment on my hair about my grandpa offering money to cut my hair....he said he didn't blame him. I don't care what guys think....but I want girls to like it. And they don't seem to. I haven't had one girlfriend since I started growing out my hair (close to 3 years). I have had a few girls say that they would probably go out with me if I got it cut...but nope, I'm sorry....I still have a lot of growing to do! My hair is only down to my shoulders. I want to grow it to about midback...and maybe even a little longer. I straightened my hair the other day for the first time ever ( I have very thick wavy hair) and when I straightned it, it looked a lot longer than it usually does. But my mom still didn't like it! It looked great! I seem to have a different view on stuff than other people. My mom doesn't like Sebastian Bach's hair, and I think he has the coolest hair on earth! There is this boy on my bus who is growing his hair out...and everybody tells him it looks terrible and to get it cut. I think it looks pretty good, especially better than his usualy buzz cut. I told him I like to give some confidence. I may not be the only person who likes my hair. Other long hairs probably like. But.... I want the girls to like it.....and I haven't met any.
Are you the slash formerly known as Gilee? Are you grunge style or
not? Anyway you seem to have the self confidence you need to become
a true long hair. This is something that you are doing for YOU, no
body else. It's your hair and nobody elses. I hope the other kid on
the bus makes it too. And hang in there man, a girl will eventually
come along that will like both you and your hair. And its been my
experience that the girls that like guys with longhair are...well lets
just say better than the average girl. Definitely worth waiting for!
I agree, you are the one who has to like your hair...
Seems you are surrounded by people who do NOT like Longhairs...
Do yourself a favor and find some who DO!
Hey! Don't lose heart that no one likes your long hair!! Take into account wear you live..is it hick-ville?? A cosmopolitan (Im betting its not)?? Small town or big city?? Usually smaller towns (like mine) consider having long hair outside the norm, and because its "outside the norm", people will think "oh, its not normal, therefore its ugly" kind of mentality. After all, YOU said you love it. So forget them and keep it. (Although not getting any girls DOES SUCK after three LONG lonely years. :) ) I don;t know you, and am not gonna judge you (you seem like a good guy from your posts) could these girls be using your long hair as an excuse not to date you?? What if you cut it off for these girls and they turned around and said this or that is wrong with you. Girls hate saying "no" so they usually will find SOME OTHER excuse to let you down gently. Don't go changing yourself, find a girl who likes you for you, and do her the same favour. Ciao.
How is the rest of you? Are you in good shape? Dress nicely? Smell good? I'm a strong believer that it isn't the hair that drives away the the girls it's the overall appearance that many men with long hair have. I would say about 60% of longhaired men go for the uhmm "heavy metal" look I guess you would call it. Most women are really turned off by this. I know for sure that the younger ones around my age (17) are but I have heard the rather nasty comments my mom and her friends (around 50 years old) make when they see some guy in faded jeans and a band shirt, even if he has short hair. And actually, it's not so much nasty comments as in putting the person down but it's more of a fear of the person, I mean even when I myself see someone like this at night I try to stay away... you never really know who you are safe around but I would usually feel more comfortable around someone neatly dressed and groomed. So back to my original question is it your hair or is it everything else? And btw. assuming that you don't dress so great or look so great, if you are comfortable like this DO NOT change. The only reason I said all this is to let you (and others) know that it is not always the hair that drives away females... but there's more to life than women anyway.
Now I know why I only had one girlfriend in high school and that only lasted less than a year.
I did have close to shoulder length hair then and I have always worn jeans and t-shirts. People said I was weird but I was more shy and a loner more than anything.
People are too quick to judge on appearance and even I am guilty of it. I have met people who look like they are mad at the world but once you get to know them they are awesome people.
Well, I am 38 now and I have gone through one divorce and my current marriage has been 8 years so I must be doing something right.
And I still wear jeans and t-shirts and I'm into heavy metal even more than when I was in school.
Slash, if you are still young don't give up. You will find that special lady some day. When I was younger I thought I would never find her but I finally did.
Good luck :)
This is why puppies are so great. They don't care what you look like. Except for when they can take advantage of it. Like if you're playing with your dog, and you decide you need to lay the smack down on your dog, and it gets away 'cause it bites your hair. That's not cool. I forgave her though.
Love,
HappyPuppy
And I wasn't really fighting the dog. Just playing around. Seems like she overreacted to me.
I don't know about anybody else, but I'd like to see a pictue of it.
