Long Hair (for men)

[A Very Super Market]

The men in medieval times also kept nice mustaches and beards. And big swords....That stuff complements long hair well. Without them.....I don't know.
Personally I keep my hair very short. No sweat at all, literally. And very comfertable during the terrible summers we get, and all the sandstorms.

Precisely. Facial hair shouts out to the world "I can look fabulous in a woman's haircut while remaining a concentrated chunk of masculinity". One reason the European colonists so looked down at native American tribes was their unfortunate lack of facial hair. Seeing this blite on humanity, many French fur traders set to work and spreading their hairy visages around, impregnating enough native women to create a whole nation. They did this believing it was on behalf of god, who had a great big beard and no doubt flagellated himself for overlooking an entire landmass unable to grow similar ones. The whole endeavour could be seen as a testament to French romance, as the vast majority of their wives willingly flung their families into the glamourous world of whiskers and beards, unlike the Spaniards, who only terrified the central Americans with deadly sharp goatees and other, curlier hairs.


My hair swept a bit to the side, and looks a bit like a looser mop-top.

That paragraph seems very negative over one of the most fabulous results of racial harmony in North Amerika, but whatever.

Dog-Face was a common name for European fur traders, missionaries, etc. Pretty good name, too.

It's kinda long right now, reaches to over my shoulders. The longest I ever had was when it was wet, it would reach to my belly button.

And the British/Dutch/Portuguese?

I usually cut my hair once a month. My clippers are 20mm(3/4in) and I reckon my hair gets about twice that long before I cut it again. I like short hair because there is absolutely no maintenance required(apart from 15min once a month) and my clippers cost me $25 two years ago which means that I have spent $1 a month on hair cuts. I think long hair is pretty girly and looks silly on men, but you can look girly if you want, it doesn't really bother me.

I try to grow my moustache, but alas.... Chinese genetics means that no matter what I consume.... my face is as clean as babyface....

At the front, my hair reaches my chin.
At the side it reaches just below my shoulders.

My hair is mostly just tangled curls + frizz... naturally, it forms an afro!
So it's long AND manly AND fashionable* at the same time!!
Afros can also be low maintenance, particularly if it's naturally like that. It's not a complete thick frizz (solid ball of hair) either, which is great!

*fashionable being of fickle definition.

Also, I cut my hair annually. Saves money and time. It's been exactly one year since my last hair cut, so this is probably about as long as it gets under normal conditions.

Facial hair and long hair go together. If a man is going to grow out his hair, he should never shave.
But if you shave you must cut your hair. And if you cut your hair you must shave. At least, that's my philosophy.

It's the times and trends, basically. "Manliness" and evolution (lol ...) are irrelevant as I see it. I've had very short hair and very long hair. Currently it's probably longer than it's ever been; I keep it in a tail most of the time. I do this now because I have a typical bald spot forming on the top of my head :(. The hair from the from of my head covers it when I slick it back and tail it. Soon, this will not work, and I will go very, very short and accept the fact that my long-hair days are over. This is very sad for an ex-rock 'n roller.

Medium, though until a year ago it went almost to my waist. I also have a beard, so I kind of look like what a mountain man would look like after tasting the excesses of civilization for a few weeks.

I have the beginning of a receding hairline, so I keep it short. I usually tell the barber to use 2-3 inch clippers on the side, with scissors on the top.

[Mooks]

I used to have long hair down to my nipples. Really, it was pretty sick. Then I got dreadlocks that grew about down to my shoulders, had them for more then a year, but I got tired of people asking me "Sooo, if I smoked one of your dreadlocks would I get high? hahhahaha" so I cut them off last december.

[Madoushi]

Keep it short at the sides and the back, 2-3 inches on top.

I used to grow my hair out when I was younger.

And the British/Dutch/Portuguese?

British romance? Dutch romance? You jest.

The Portuguese, with the strong latin roots in their language, might have laid claim to France's title. However, according to my American high school history textbook, Portugal has never exist and Brazilians speak Spanish.
