new thread
Following from previous questions and replies, it would be interesting to see the opinions of the many women who read and smaller number who post to this board.
So, assuming that you are here because you like long hair on men:
1. What is, for you, the best length for men?
2. What style(s) do you like best?
3. What style(s) do you dislike?
4. Have you any preference for curly/straight hair or any particular colo(u)r?
5. Any other comments?
1. What is, for you, the best length for men?
For long hair- I like shoulder length to mid-back
2. What style(s) do you like best?
all one length
3. What style(s) do you dislike?
mullets, layers (sorry, just my opinion)
4. Have you any preference for curly/straight hair or any particular colo(u)r?
Doesn't matter the color. I prefer straight, but have seen some really nice long haired guys with curly hair, when it is curly, it looks better either very short or very long
5. Any other comments?
I like long hair that is healthy and shiney looking. If it is fried and damaged and thin on the ends, then it just doesn't do anything for me. When I see a guy with long shiney hair, I can't take my eyes off of him. :)
I like to come to this board to see the pics and when I first started coming here, I was amazed that men actually talked about their hair like this and showed so much concern for their hair. I am sad to read about all the posts that men have to deal with discrimination about their hair and growing it long. I live in the Bible Beltway (NC, USA), and any guy around here that tries to grow their hair out gets discriminated against bigtime. It is quite sad. But I always encourage them or stand up for them :)
"I live in the Bible Beltway (NC, USA), and any guy around here that tries to grow their hair out gets discriminated against bigtime. It is quite sad."
Thats indeed very sad the discrimination :-( but those men who can go through this and don't care about what others say, have my greatest respect, people have to be independent to do what they most like and not letting other people change them.
I'm from Germany and here are more men with long hair, it seems to be cool having it, at least I don't know of any discrimination.
"But I always encourage them or stand up for them"
Thats GREAT!!
Correction: ADORE long hair on men! LOL
longer than shoulder length. I don't consider it truly long until it's past the shoulder.
down and free. I do understand the need for ponies, because I use them myself as needed, but love it to hang loose. Any style is fine with me, as long as it's long!
When it's long, no style strikes me as bad.
Not really. I do seem to prefer straight/wavy though. With curly hair, you can't run your fingers through it without messing it up. hehehe
I've been trying to figure out why it's taken me so many years to discover my preference for men with long hair.
I can't remember many long haired men while I was going to school, besides rock stars.
But, with the exception of the first guy I went out with, they all had hair at least shoulder length. I never realised that I was choosing guys with longer hair, or that I preferred long hair.
In response to question:
#1: From Just past the shoulders to mid back.
#2: Style preference is all one length but have a male friend that is growing out a choppy shag (think Bon Jovi or Johnny from the Goo Goo Dolls style) and his hair is awesome!
#3: I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than see (or God forbid, date) a man with a mullet or worst of all, a skullet, ie: balding on top and long in the back.
#4: Have a preference for slightly thick straight hair. Curls (perms, not natural curls) are okay and I especially find them useful for men (and women) with thin hair because it adds body but with thick hair AND curls? Frizz city if not cared for properly. I would go on record as saying that I have long, (about 3 inches above waist) thick naturally curly hair that requires daily maintainence. As far as hair color goes, I used to "only" look at blondes but boyyyy am I glad I decided to expand my horizons! My (live-in) boyfriend (currently) has a medium brown color with (fading) blonde highlights. Before this he had it colored a very deep dark brown. Both are equally incredible on him. By the way his hair is about 4 inches from his waist, about 1 inch shorter than mine. He's getting a haircut on Wednesday though, so I expect him to loose about an inch off the length then.
#5: To All the well meaning Men attempting to grow your hair out...Those of us (women) that love long hair, reallllllly love CLEAN, GROOMED, CARED FOR HAIR! If you're not willing to invest the time and energy to care for your hair, you might as well cut it off and look like the rest of the boring men around town.
Lastly, thanks for asking these questions, it was fun answering. :)

1 - i'd say shoulder length with it slightly in the progressive stage.
2 - i think anything is great, even in the akward stage. mostly what i find appealing is when the front hairs fall just below the eyes. oh so sexy. ;)
3 - anything mullet-ish
4 - oh man, bone straight all the way. and jet black, or platinum blonde. :)
5 - these are just my preferences not saying theyre right or wrong or that i dont have props for other styles/colors. ;)
A recent beautiful new discovery; unfortunately I find it difficult finding men with long hair. They're a rare species.
Beneath the shoulder and also down to their waist.
Either down and free or in a ponytail. A man with shoulder length hair looks oh-so-sexy with his hair in a ponytail and a man with very long hair looks divine with his hair flowing free.
Not applicable.
Every person has their own preference. I love sleek straight hair that is blonde to very blonde.
I think it takes a man with a free independent spirit and strong sense of self to wear his hair long in a conformist society.
"4. Have you any preference for curly/straight hair or any particular colo(u)r?
Every person has their own preference. I love sleek straight hair that is blonde to very blonde."
Than we have something in common, I like long straight blonde hair, very blonde most too, its irresitible!
Oh, hell yes.
Shoulder to mid-back length.
Ponytail, braid, loose (all one length), queue
Mullets!
Straight to somewhat wavy dark brown to black hair.
A long haired man is one who bucks the expected societal expectations for men's hair and thinks for himself. This indicates that he can probably "color outside the lines" and "think outside of the box" in other areas as well, which, to me, is a highly positive trait.
I also find it quite telling that nearly all the men on the covers of romance novels are long haired men. Seems that the publishers of romance novels know what women like!
Wow....six responces and six "straighter hair" preferences. No love for ringlets?
Just remember, that's six responses out of several hundred million women all over the world.
;)

All my female friends love long hair on men too, there are more as you might think who prefer it.
I actually think curls look wonderful! It's just a matter of preference...to the person who loves to play with and touch long hair, and the fact that curls kinda hinder that...hehehe
I do like curly hair a lot too (if its not afro LOL)but straight is just ...hmmmmm LOVE it most!!
Well glad we confirmed that one... Time to get the back trimmed up just so there's no confusion lads!
So why to half the Scandinavian Kids I see on Holiday have a 3 inch mullet? Are their parents trying to torture them???
"Someone phone Social Services quick! That kid has a mullet!!!"
I guess for most a mullet is out but belive it or not I like it LOL I have nothing against it, I see no reason to dislike it...
I will gladly answer your questions:
1. What is, for you, the best length for men?
I personally like shoulder length to mid back most.
2. What style(s) do you like best?
3. What style(s) do you dislike?
There is no long haired style I particular dislike even not the mullet...I think I dislike any short hair LOL especially when it on top longer and the back very short.
4. Have you any preference for curly/straight hair or any particular colo(u)r?
I like straight blonde hair most.
5. Any other comments?
That men look definitely more handsome with longer hair (any lenght longer than short) I always find myself being more fascinated by men with longer hair...
.....for all your answers. I (and plenty of others too, I'm sure) find them very encouraging.
The big message is 'Keep on Growing'!
