Hi!First, I just wanted to say, in response to JF, that I don't see Dave as defensive in any way. I think Dave is an extremely passionate, sensitive, intelligent and caring individual. He's no long hair fanatic! I could never see Dave telling me to keep my hair at all costs if I was considering cutting it off. As such, I would readily ask him such a question if the issue ever arose.JF readily admits that long-haired men encounter many more negative responses than positive ones. I believe that Dave's personal experiences are reflected in his posts on various issues. When I first came to Hair Boutique, I had never seen a man with hair as long and profuse as Dave's. I was definitely blown away:) Dave's hair is not long. It is ultra-long. I have seen the abuse and comments many men take just for having hair below the collar and at shoulder-length. One of the usual comments made, which I have heard over and over, is that it is somehow feminine for a man to have longer hair. Personally, I have always felt that if at least part of a woman's fertility is viewed as being keyed to her hair, part of a man's virility is tied to the same:) Anyway, I think, as a part of having ultra-long hair, a man should be able to articulate positions well which I think Dave does. It's nice to hear what a man thinks about longer hair and ancillary issues in relation to his own life.Bye for now,Jade21
