Oh by the way, my wife has made comments when we are out together about other women's hair. We were at the mall one night and a woman had hair past her knees. It was light brown and very shiny. My wife grabbed my arm and whispered., " I bet you would love to get your hands on her hair to play with." Another time we were at a restaurant and a woman with well past her knees hair was a couple tables over. She whispered to me to check out this woman's hair. She also tells me when Crystal Gail is on TV and when Jane Seymour was scheduled to TV, because she joked I was, "In love with her". I have always told my wife I do not need fantasies, when I have the real thing. While sometimes my wife doesn't like her hair stoked, most times she enjoys it as a nice prelude to a more physical activity that leaves her exhausted the next AM.

It was real, not a made up story. My wife calls me clueless more times than I care to admit. I love her and she loves me. We love and trust each other. She knows I really admire her long hair as part of her and she accepts it as my quirk. She enjos she attention I give her when I stroke it, brush it, wash it for her in the shower on Saturday mornings or trim it when the ends need attention. Even when apart I am never worried she is cheating on me. I have one of the "really good ones". Sorry guys, I got to her at the right time. I have kept in good shape, still at 180 pounds and visiting the gym 4 - 5 times a week. A coworker was hitting on me, and even a bit too touchy to suit my wife, at a Christmas party 2 years ago and my wife's administrative assistant laughed and told her I was so naive but safe, because I was polite but did not take the bait. I have pulled people out of ditches with my truck, and helped other people with odd jobs and chatted with total strangers for hours. I received a phone call from Sarah about 8 years ago while she was crying because she had a flat tire while driving home from a party and her (ex) husband wasn't home and no one else would answer their phone. At 11:30 at night in the snow, I pulled her car out of the ditch and changed her tire, scraping my knuckles getting at her spare while she sat in my warm truck. She thanked me for being a real friend that never hit on her. Sarah trusted me as a friend that would not take advantage of her. She is now divorced because her ex found a younger woman and left her a couple days before their 12th anniversary because he needed room. Sarah in my opinion like her hair long. She hadn't trimmed it in over a year, she had been growing it the last five years with disappointing trims that chopped off too much. Sarah never knew I trimmed my wife's hair but she trusted me. If she didn't she wuld have left when I told her she was at the dentist rather than share intimate life details with me. As for the trim, she felt torn between her girlfriends telling her to get a haircut and her feelings to keep her long hair. During the trim she felt as though she was losing her hair, but afterwards she felt relieved she had not. While I would not cheat on my wife, I would especially not try to do so with a close friend that shares details of every conversation, for hours each weekend. I just hope Sarah finds a decent guy rather than the last selfish jerk, and that if she feels like chopping off her hair, she will ask my wife to hand me the phone to talk her out of it. Is she stops by again in a couple years, I will still trim her long hair, but will tell her to wait until my wife is home. My wife still wears her hair long and understands a fellow women's need to keep her hair rather than submit to pressure to get it chopped. I admire long hair on a woman. I make no apology for it. If I help a long time friend ora new acquaintance in not being pressured to cut off their long hair when they really do not want to, I will. Will I tell the short hair zealots to back off? In a heart beat. If Sarah had really wanted her hair cut short, I would have discussed it with her for a much longer period. I would have trimmed it to her shoulders, asked her to wait a few days, then I would have taken it even shorter. But I felt that was not what she wanted so I followed my honest instincts, supported a friend and she was happy as a result. After all if she really wnted a short haircut, she could have gotten one. But if she had been chopped, it would be years to recover her length. So friends respect your lady and don't be afraid to tell your long haired friends they are pretty. And not just bevcause of their hair. It could be the difference being them being happy keeping their long hair (or a slightly shorter style) and angry the next day that they were on the receiving end of a scissor happy stylist that imparted on them a high maintenance short haircut they really didn't want.

But the vicious circle states, if you compliment them for their minds, they'll do something to their heads.

If they can't take a compliment, it's their problem. Don't worry about it when that happens Rap'.


It's a nice story to hear, especially the elbow in the ribs. It makes it sound all that more real. I thought for a while that your wife would suspect you of cheating because you were able to get to play with someone else's hair
I hate all of the following and lots more : Fundamentalists, racists, sexists, fascists, ageists (people saying seniors = senile , kids = stupid , 18 = immature or a combo of them), and bigots for causes yet to receive their own designation.

Bill, thank you for that interesting event. But be careful about telling a long-haired woman never to cut her hair.

I used to work in a 20-story office building near the top floor, and there was a woman with beautiful slightly below waist length blonde hair who worked on a different floor. I never spoke to her, until the third time I saw her. Riding alone with her up the elevator, I told her she should never cut her hair. Well, when I next saw her a couple of weeks later, she had a pixie cut!

It was probably just a coincidence, but in reading about long-to-short makeovers, it seems a lot of girls or women get tired of being (or thinking that they are only) known for their hair. Remarks such as ours to a woman that she should never cut her hair might actually have the opposite effect and help convince them to change their image.

Yesterday my wife's friend Sarah from college stopped by in the morning. She was visiting her sister who lives near by and she called my wife to chat. My wife had mentioned she needed her ends trimmed and that she had a dental appointment later in the morning. At around 9:30 Sarah knocked on the door while I was home doing a couple chores. I offered her a cup of coffee while she was taking off her coat. Well when I took her coat I noticed that her red hair now reached slightly past her waist, it was about shoulder length the last time I saw her a few years ago. I commented on how much longer it had grown and she mentioned she wanted to talk to my wife about it. I mentioned she had just left for the dentist a few minutes ago. She mentioned she had hoped to catch her before she left for the salon. I questioned what salon and Sarah mentioned she had spoken of a trim. Well I had trimmed my wife's hair the evening before, just about 1/2". I mentioned my wife's dental appointment was all she mentioned. Sarah said that she had hoped to see my wife's stylist. I mentioned I was my wife's stylist, I had trimmed her hair for years and she kinda of looked at me funny. She sat down at the counter, to drink her coffee, while she talked about her trip, her job and her new apartment. She then looked at me and asked my opinion if I thought she needed a haircut. She said a couple female coworkers have been telling her it is time to cut it as she is near 40. I asked her turn so I could see the full length better. I told her it looked great, she had a few split ends but I wouldn't go chop it all off. She asked me how short did I think she should cut it. I told her the absolute most she should take off would be three to four inches to get the split ends and even up the uneven pieces. She paused a minute, held her hair up and looked at her ends. Would you trim it for me she asked? I said OK, put my coffee down and went to get my scissors and stuff. She sat there looking at her ends and when I came back, she said, "I cannot believe I asked you to cut my hair." I told her if she doesn't want me to, that was OK, and I turned and walked back to go put the scissors and stuff away. She stopped me and said please I want you to. So I told her stand up so I could reach her ends. I combed her hair, sectioned it and pinned up the upper sections. I trimmed about four inches total. I tried to carry on a conversation with her as I cut, but she was very quiet. Afterwards she went into the bathroom to check her hair, while I vacuumed up the trimmings. A couple minutes later she came out and thanked me for the trim. She said she had been going through some tough personal times and had planned to ask my wife to take her to her salon and be there to support her while she got her hair cut short. She thought that it might somehow help, after all the encouragement to do so by her coworkers. She admitted to having second thoughts. She said the fact my wife had already left for her dental appointment and our conversation were signs that she should not cut her hair short. I told her I was glad I was there to help her not make a decision she would regret later. I told her her hair looks absolutely fabulous and she definately should NOT cut it short ever. She replied that it didn't before I cut it and she sees why I have been trimming my wife's hair all this time. My wife came home about a half hour later and they chatted all afternoon. My wife came downstairs later and elbowed me in the ribs. She said Sarah told her that "her stylist" did a very nice job trimming her hair. I asked if she was a bit jealous, she said no, but don't be so smug. I told her you hate short hair, so you were not necessarily being really nice, you just hate seeing any woman cut their hair short. I agreed, I hugged my wife and I told her that Sarah looks good with her long red hair but she wasn't anywheres near as pretty as hers. My point: I am not predjudiced, woman just prettier with their hair long. I'm sure that there are quite a few short hair fans that will argue with me, but it is my opinion, and there are a lot of women (and men) that agree with me that admire a woman's beatiful long hair.
