However, most people feel it's somewhat cancelled out by "Just plain wrong", and opinion reads something like "I don't like the concept of long hair on boys, personally". Just plain right makes something sound as if it's sick and/or creepy.
This is my signature. It's not a very good signature, but it's a signature nonetheless.

First, thanks for the TCB explanation. Obviously I didn't know that much about Elvis.

Funny though, I'm a short haired fan on girls too. Wow, never thought of it that way. Maybe someday society will say long hair was supposed to be mainly on guys, and the short hair was for the ladies....now that's a plan i like.
Except for misfortune of male-pattern baldness, long hair can be for boys, men, girls and women. And of course, the hair can be altered (cut,colored, permed, etc). Societal expectations regarding hair have changed throughout history. So who knows for certain what will happen in the future?

If you notice, for quite a long time now, i've ended every one of my posts with "my two cents". I just don't think guys should have long hair.
Of course my "opinion" is not popular on the long hair support board. I didn't expect it to be. Again though, it's my opinion, and we all know what opinions are like...and I have both.
Yes, I've noticed your "2 cents" ending. I guess I just wonder what reaction you expected or hoped for by posting that message here, and why. I sure don't expect to make friends going to the short hair board and telling them that "short hair is all wrong," and then hoping to deflect unhappy reaction by claiming, "well, it's only my opinion/two cents."

Long hair is also for those *blessed* with male-pattern baldness that leave their girlfriend beaming with pleasure at the feel of those softest hairs on top followed by gorgeous long hair in back. Long hair is for every male that wants it, that goes for women too.

Well yes, certainly long hair is also for those afflicted with male-pattern baldness. I tried (poorly) to say that the occurance of MPB is a cruel and involuntary trick played on (mostly) men that robs them of some of the hair strands they would like to still have. I feel badly for all men afflicted with MPB, whether or not they want their hair long.
Your boyfriend is blessed that you are his girlfriend, JLL. Please give him my regards.
I'm growing my hair long. But I don't have to worry looking feminine. I look psycho no matter what my hairstyle is. I just look a lot less intimidating with long hair. I can't stand being mistaken for a psycho. I have very cold blue eyes maybe that's why.
Long hair looks feminine. I ask does this guy look feminine
The males have longer hair than the females.

There was a guy in my high school who had really long hair. He would either wear it loose or in a pony tail, we all called him the ninja because we thought he looked like one :-) So obviously on him it looked good.
However I have a cousin in grade 1 who has long hair. His mother is a vegan, and is raising her son the same way. She refuses to let her son cut his hair, but she herself has very short hair so it's not like she hates short hair. He gets picked on all the time at school, however it's not entirely because of his hair (some of the kids thing it's weird he eats tofu and stuff like that) I do not think that the long hair looks bad on him, it's just that some of these kids have never seen long hair on a boy before. I think it's harder when they are younger because there are less obvious features to tell a boy and a girl apart.
I know that all through elementary school I had very short hair and was confused for a boy all the time. Then again now I have BSL hair and still ocassionally get confused for a boy *shakes head in frusteration*

Don't worry Krazykid, that happens to me too... all the time.. even with mid-back length hair. The more men in society with long hair, the more I get mistaken for a guy. (I'm not bashing guys with long hair, currently dating a shorthaired male growing hair down to waist.. a wonderful sort) Probably also because of my attire.. the grunge Kurt Cobain look isn't very feminine. Anyway, this is my personal reason for going more extreme than most American citizens... hip or classic length... so more people think I'm female.
The majority of both men and women these days wear short or fairly short hair, which is why people, men or women, with very long hair are unique.
Since most women wear medium or short hair, the only way you could be mistaken for a man if you are a woman, whatever your hair length, is to not wear any makeup or earrings, dress in grungy "male" like clothes, and have facial features and a body that is somewhat masculine to begin with.

Yes Miss Brenda, that's exactly it. and most of it I can change. It's just so much more comfortable this way, not to mention safer on the streets : P
