Given that it's a LOT more work, I don't see how it represents "Freedom".
|
|
it represents lack of personal hygine and lack of money for a haircut.........
|
|
No, I take the maxiumum lazyness aprroach.
Beard = no shaving Head cut short with walmart clippers, no guard = no $$ for haircuts and no combing hair |
|
Throwback to the hippy culture. Doesn't necessarily mean they are a hippy, just that they were influenced by the lippy life in some way.
|
|
I had long hair for a while (1ft-15") and let me tell you, it was not freedom at all. Had to comb it a lot, otherwise I got little mini-dreads, had to use a lot of shampoo, conditioner too, otherwise I got mini-dreads, and this little asshole kept pulling it.
<1" hair, now that's the way to go. |
|
Well when you see an older male with long hair it's a pretty sure bet he is a liberal Democrat still stuck in th 60's.
We got one of those assholes at work. Thinks the word owes him just for existing. Lazy worthless person. |
|
I had long hair when it was "in" during the 70s. I had a ponytail thay was about 8". My soccer and baseball coaches called me D'Artagnian.
What a pain in the ass. I had it cut short and kinda "styled" in 1975 and haven't looked back since. Here in AZ I can't fathom why a male would wear long hair. When mine gets the slightest bit long-ish I head for the barber. |

To hot in the summer, too much of a pain to wash, a hazard around power tools. Mine used to be longer, not getting haircuts all the time was a bonus. Babes liked it. Looks pathetic if used as a comb-over.

Doesn't represent anything other than personal choice.
I get up every morning and shave my head with a razor. Bald is "in" for me, it's my Anti-drug! |
|
As opposed to being too lazy to learn the difference between "to" and "too"... |
|
|
No it just means dumb asses insult you from time to time. |
|
|
Ditto! |
|
|
Sorry, did know you were gay. Sgtar15 |

Nothing more than how the man with that hair acts and represents himself.
|
|
Absolutely! |
||
|
Gay? Nah. I dont have that mental disease. Every gay fellow I have ever seen was clean cut anyway. |

|
They more than likely had short hair. They wore wigs to have the long hair. Please don't tell me you wear a powdered wig. |
|
|
After I got out of the Navy in '90, I didn't get my haircut for 24 months. I keep it really cropped down now.
(Voted: Yes) |
|
I've had very long hair, shaved off, and hair cropped short.
It means nothing. Except how long it takes to clean yourself up. In that respect, I prefer the latter two. Long hair is a pain. |
|
Some wore wigs. Some had the real thing. I guess the ones that wore wigs just wanted to look like the cool guys. |

|
i guess everyone here would get a very wrong first impression of me then. hair pulled back to a very small poney tail, a VERY short Amish type beard, and a pair of Danner GTX boots. but at 55 i was never into the hippie thing or any type of drugs. ok, beer and jack but just a taste. if i had a face that was more round i'd shave it.
be well maxwell |
|
So, you like guys with short hair... You've just been outed on ARFCOM.... |

She's a chick, man. |

Hey, I've got shoulder-length locks because my old boss said he'd give me a raise if I did it and he wasn't the only one in the office with long hair! True story (but it wasn't much of a raise). Keep running it today (15 years later) just because I can (since I'm now self-employed) and it's different.

Can't say it reflects anything other than a personal preference.
I've had long hair, I've had crew cuts, I've had perms (I can thank pop for that idea ), and I've had a mohawk (to prove a minor point ). My wife and I would both rather that I have long hair, but my clients would prefer that I have a "respectable" short cut. Clients put food on the table, so I have short hair. Growing up and working in the world sucks, but untill I retire, it's what I'm stuck with. -FMD Oh, and Sarge, my preference for [reference to little kitty-cats deleted] pushes my desire for long hair. See comment above. Meethinks the lady doth protest too much. |
|
or the closest thing you'll get to a woman in prison! |
|
|
DOH.... Guess that we need little symbols next to the names now!! |

It was three years from the time I retired from the USAF until I darkened the doorway of a barber shop again. Why? Because I could.
Did it mean anything? Probably not. I'm growing it again. Why? Because I can. I can grow it out. I can cut it. After 21 years of 2 haircuts a month, it's my choice. Whatever prejudged opinions you have of a guy in his 40s with long hair, they probably don't fit me. Think about it. |
|
+1, except make mine Navy.
|
|
|
Long hair on a guy is either....
(1) Poor grooming or (2) evidence of some latent desire to be a girl |
|
Oh c'mon. When I was young I had really long hair. Bathed daily, kept it clean. Girls loved it. I had the money. I liked the hair. Now, unfortunately I don't have to worry about it. |
