    Default Long Hair (for men)

    Recently, I and some of my friends are debating about the existance of long hair, and short haired men, and they said that short hair men is a step towards more modern evolution, since short hair requires less maintenace, easier to be kept in order, and require less washing.

    And they said that the way I kept my hair, shoulder length, usually kept in ponytail, is too much like a girl.... and when I start to argue that most men had grown long hair in medieval time, and no one questioned their manliness, they said that we should look in today's situation rather than some hundreds of years ago

    so... just curious, how did you guys keep your hair...

    short-medium, long hair for guys = the hobo look, in most instances.

    hobo? why? I think the hobo overrides what was source of male pride for quite a long time, and give that negative connotation...

    I'm growing my hair like Shemp from the three stooges (no associates please, with larry perhaps...). I like the old-fashioned look. It's almost at the right length. Looks nice when I put hair tonic in it.

    is there something wrong?

    And actually I first kept my hair in ponytail out of necessity in Chemistry lab (I study chemistry), since long hair must be tied up in neat fashion, but after that, it was becoming my common hairstyle....

    Define Long. I know a guy who had it down to his hips.

    Shoulder length isn't that long...but it still can be quite feminine, specially if it's in a ponytail.

    Bald. Shave it once a weak so usually minimal growth at the end of the week.

    not as that short, but still generally considered short (at upper neck and eyebrows)

    I admit a slightly (!) long hairstyle fits me well.

    High and tight usually

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Gorgeous and hip, thus semi-long.

    Slightly below the top of my collar. Bohemian yet classic, or bobo if you must.
