motivations for short hair

it will, in northern europe countries like norway long hair is comming back for guys and it will be the future hopefully this will come to north america since many people like me face discrimination on getting a job

Leon,
The guys that don`t say anything about your hair are the ones that like it. AND,
it`s the ones that put you down that really wish they had your kind of hair. SO
enjoy it. Just keep it clean and looking good.
Good luck.

Long Hair all the way. I have straight hair that goes past my shoulders about 2-3 inches and I can do many things with it. Some grils like it, some dont, the ones that dont usually have short hair, or are conservative about hair length (gahhh stupid government class). But most of the feminine girls, or the ones with short hair, but miss their long hair, like it. I think the short hair is going slowly out of style, but many males will stick with short hair, so they wont have to mess around with it.

Dear Leon

I am not a fan of the `mullet` purely because I have never seen it look good on any man.
You may be the exception, but anyway, the only thing we human`s truly possess albeit temporarily, is ourselves. You have the right to express and enjoy yourself and live out your full vision of your self and your life. Go ahead and do not let anyone dictate or influence you adversely. They are messing with your self respect - and that is an area that is never up for grabs!!!!
Personally, I love long hair on a man - any man - it makes my knees go weak and does wonderful things to other parts of my anatomy (hehehe).

Take Care

Leon-You BETTER cut that mullet of yours!

I`d never had my hair really short, so I guess I wanted to know what it was like. Boy was that a mistake...All 9 inches of my thick wavy hair got cut off, but it`ll grow back..With time :(

There are even many crewcuts, caesars & buzzcuts out there? I'd like to see different peoples' reasons for this. Desire to conform? To please a partner? Genuine personal preference? What? I wish longer hair on guys would "come back".

Well, while I was living with my parents still, I kept it short because they wanted it short.. and I never could stand the period between short and long. The transition sucks really..

I am growing my hair out because most girls I know suggest I grow it out.. but I know next time I see my mother she`ll offer to pay to have my hair cut. I don`t believe she really prefers short hair, its just that where we emmigrated from its not acceptable for men to have long hair.

I hope I can keep my hair growing for some time.. unfortunately the job I have involves travelling internationally, but we`ll see.

I agree with you duke.
I have had too many experiences of barbers cutting my hair too short for my liking, and consequently I have been avoiding them for the past 6 months. Now it`s getting pretty long, and I like it, although I should probably get it trimmed soon for convenience`s sake.
I can appreciate short haircuts and would quite like to wear one, but every time I ask for "just a trim please" it ends up shorter than I can tolerate. So I just let it grow, grow, grow, and yes, I totally agree, there is far too much pressure from society on guys to wear their hair short.
I guess short hair haters just have to take pride in being different from all the other guys, and have faith that in the long run, being part of the minority will pay off.

I would have to say that maintaining shorter hair is a little easier than having to work with longer hair. Most guys don`t like to mess with it too much before going to work, going out, etc... and short hair just becomes a lot easier solution for them. I tried to grow my hair out a for about six months before giving up. It layed too flat and was too heavy to do anything with. So I cut it off again, but I am anything but a conformist. I am one of those people who has to constantly change my appearance, so coloring my hair is a big part of what makes me `me.` I must say that it`s a lot easier to get rid of an unwanted color by letting it grow a little and then cutting it off than to try to color over it and hope for something that you can live with.

Now on another point, living in the midwest I must say I`ve seen a lot of people who don`t want to fall into either category. They want a little bit of both... and I`m talking about mullets. I`m almost positive that the mullet isn`t chosen for it`s aesthetic appeal, but more for reasons that stem from the high points of short and long hair. Short hair that`s easy to style, and long hair that you can throw around and pull back and whatnot.

I guess the long and short of it comes down to personal preference, but there are the few instances that a person goes to a style to please someone else.

Long hair - na-ahhh! No way! I need a style for my Short hair, I couldn`t imagine having hair longer than 4cm! lol!
