Hey Guys and gals:
I haven't posted on here in awhile, but I lurk at least a few times a day, lol. I'm sure someone has made a post on here about feeling out of place in bars and clubs. Well, last night I decided to head downtown with a friend and do some quality drinking/gock at chicks, lol. I live in a small Canadian city where longhaired males are few and far between. However, I expected to see a few longhairs, maybe some mohawks, mullets, high spikes, etc. We drank at three different clubs and here's how the breakdown went. At bar #1, there was me with my shoulder blade length ponytail, and two guys with really bad looking shag cuts. At bar #2, there was me, and a native man with a grey shoulder length ponytail that looked great. At bar #3 there was me, and that's it. Kind of scary isn't it? Aside from the lack of longhair's/unique hairstyles every guy was dressed the same. It was like they were all given free clothing from queer eye for the straight guy. I guess we are living in a "clone society". It seems no one can think for themselves anymore. Last night really made me appreciate the fact that I am a long hair and an individual that can be his own man and not conform to the sickening standards of this clone society.
Hey Carlos.
I was one of those people who posted a while ago about the lack of longhairs at clubs. I don't go out very often though, as I am under 18, which is the legal drinking age here where I live. I'm 17, and don't look 18, but with the help of a certain ID *grin*, I can get into most clubs easily, and even some I don't need an ID, providing I go in with a bunch of other girls.
When I went last, which was about 2 weeks ago, I didn't even see ONE longhair! And to add to that, we got refused entry by half the clubs because most looked under 18, they wouldn't accept out ID's, and someone had got murdered 2 nights before, so they were sucking up to the police, who were everywhere.
The few pubs that I was in though, girls that I know would come up to the table, and yank my hair from behind. They'd say stuff like nice hair, and we'd go and dance. LOL, long hair is definitely noticed:) Which is nice:)
And I agree with everyone looking like a clone too!
Sorry, I just wanted to re-write something, I made a 'typo'?
Hey surferdude, glad to see the chicks are digging your hair. I'm also glad to see that at least another person agrees with me that we live in a society of clones:P
long hair and an individual that can be his own man and not
conform to the sickening standards of this clone society.
Yes, it is a very to feel unique as a Longhair who does not
have to conform to the standards of others.
I was in a bar this afternoon and there were about 300 men there. There were five longhairs there besides myself. I knew and talked to four of them. The other one did not seem to have any interest in talking to longhairs.
Tonight I am going to a private party for longhairs, and 37 have RSVP'd, so I expect the numbers to be a bit better. [grin]

When I went out Monday, a lot of people had long or longish hair.
I bet it had nothing to do with it being a concert :)
I think what you're seeing is the result of a culture gap.
If you like Clubs, then you probably like House; Garage; RnB (new variety); Dance & or Cheesy Pop. Cos that's what tends to get played in these places, either that or you endure the music because your there for the women and you're trying to look as cool as possible.
Out of all that. Where is the infulence to be a longhair? Where are the LongHaired Role models? Where's the freedom of self expression? These places, the bulk of the people who frequent them and the music played are fashion driven, they are all looking over their shoulders at the next person, trying desperately to keep up with the Jones's.
You'll find lots more longhairs at places which are less comercialised and which are not trying to cater to the masses. Concerts; Heavy Metal Bars; places with Live Acts; Music Festivals; these places are not trying to cater to the latest fashion, they have strong tolerance of different people and they provide give us our own role models who rather than teaching us to be like them, are teaching us to be ourselves.
If you want to find more longhairs when you are out, you need to go to places where people feel free to express themselves, rather than forced to follow the latest trends.
Unfortunatly for many of us, this can mean leaving a lot of our short-haired friends behind. And if you're like me, stuck on a rock in the North Atlantic which is desperately trying to turn itself into another Ibiza... you're rather short of choice.
