I have been comming back to this board on a daily basis and I just want to thank everyone for their encouragement.We longhairs(or in my case-soon to be longhair,again)have to stick together.There have been a lot of strides forward in longhair being accepted in the workplace and in society in general,but we still have a long ways to go.Nyghtfall,Walter,Paul,Longhaired Warrior,Andrew-you guys I especially want to thank! You 5 are the ones who responded to me and I feel like I've developed 5 new friends for life.
I have felt a little guilty about something though and I want to clear the air.It's about the comment I made to Mark Richards. Mark,if you read this,I'm sorry that I came on so strong about your brothers hair.I didn't mean to sound mean,and I didn't mean to tell you what to do,it's just that, for me I have been bemused by long hair since I was a child.But at that time I knew it was fantasy because my dad(whom I love very much-even if we don't see eye to eye on a lot of things,one of which is hair)used to make me get it cut when it got,to his marine standards,too long.When I would protest he would say "when you move out you can grow it so long you have to part it to take a dump,but as long as you're living in my house you're getting it cut"(I've cleaned up what he actully said).Later when I did move out,I didn't get it cut for about 3-4 years.It felt wonderful! anyway the point I think that I and,judging from the posts,a lot of the other guys are trying to say Mark is:be supportive of his decision.If this is a phase then he'll grow out of it.If not,then love him and his hair for that's a part of who he is.
One more big thanks is to Victor for creating such a great forum for all of us like minded guys.Victor,you're a prince among longhaired men! Take care guys.

Hi!
After reading your message, i have to say that my dad also made me cut my hair very short. He doesn't stand long-haired men, and i think this is because my dad has been bald since his twenties. When he sees one long-haired guy on tv or in the street he says he would like to have a scissors to cut his hair. As i still live with my parents i wear my hair short. But i think that once i live a lone , i may let it grow, just hoping that i'm not bald by that stage. Good luck and enjoy it!
According to my counts next December it will be by the middle of my back, and I can't wait to see and feel it growing more and more, it's a big turn on for me. See you...
