Hi fellow longhaired people of this wwwboard and around the world. It bothers me with the fact that people with long strait blonde hair at shoulder length get called "Hanson", especially me. I take being called "Hanson" is an offense. I would rather be called a skid or something. I have kinda a feminan face for a guy at 17 years old and having long hair makes me look sort of like a girl. But I don't give a damn what people think. People SUCK! my definition of "People suck" are strangers that make fun of ya for your appearance. Looking different is what I want. Im the kinda guy who blends into crowds but Im willing to change that by growing my hair of course. whoops, Im skipping my main point. I'll get right too it.
For people who don't know who "Hanson" is, they are this 3 pieced soft pop band that all look like lil girls with the same longhair cuts and make the most wimpy ass music ever. This is one of reasons why I wanna dye my hair a dark brown.
Has anyone said to you that you look one of the "Hanson" brothers? (your welcomed to answer back if ya feel my pain.)
Has a longhaired guy ever made fun of another longhaired guy?
P.S. I don't understand why Im being called "Hanson" sometimes for, Im the biggest skid! :-)
Stoned, please don't let this type of critism get to you. Guys with long blond hair and feminine faces are the best. I suspect the reason people say these things to you is that they are very jealous. Look at it this way: The reason Hanson is so famous is not because they are talented; it is because they are attractive. So your attackers are actually giving you a compliment in a roundabout sort of way.
Yeah, I've gotten that comment, but just from my Mom. I think it was her way to try and get me to get a haircut. Didn't work, though. :)
It could be worse than Hanson.
It could be Howard Stern.
Like my hair. I don't particularly resemble like him otherwise; I'm
younger, our voices are very different, etc., but some people
*think* they're being witty and/or original by pointing out the
vague similarity.
And that, I think, is the crux of the problem. Normal, undistinguished-looking people have no idea how inane or stupid
they sound, and whatever they decide to say, I've heard it before.
Do I need reminding my hair looks like Howard Stern's, for some reason? Am I going to forget?
And, this holds true for anyone with any physically
distinguishing characteristic, as I've found from a nearly 7'- tall
associate.
My advice is to either ignore those people, and/or have a few
dismissive phrases on hand that convey your disdain and boredom with them and their stupid commentary.
And, of course, don't let the boring-looking people bug you. There
will always be people who hate how you look, no matter what you
look like, and there will always be people who love that same look.
What matters is how YOU like it.
I feel your pain bro!
I'm a little brown thing with a big head of hair and I can't tell you how many people go - you look like (egads, I must say it) Chaka Kahn. Now if Chaka and I both shaved our heads, we look nothing alike. I have nothing against Chaka and she has a great voice and all, but it has been frustrating to me that if a woman of color has a lot of hair she's a Chaka regardless of what her face looks like. What made it worse was in the 80s when I was heavy in the glam rock scene, I kept getting called Prince. I don't get Prince anymore but I'm still Chaka. Its sad that people cannot see something and appreciate it for what it is instead of needing something to categorize it for understanding purposes.
