No, you're not in a rock band.

No, you don't work in a guitar shop.

No, it's not 1985.

It's just 50 shades of wrong.

AIBU?

Well yes, I wouldn't be happy if my Dp nicked my eye pencil TBH.

Correct, men with long hair look absurd. There's not much more to it. Any other obvious observations for us? Grin

usualsuspect · 26/07/2012 20:12

It wouldn't bother me at all, I would think they were rather cool

usualsuspect · 26/07/2012 20:13

They just look like men with long hair to me, not absurd at all.

ScarletLadyOfTheNight01 · 26/07/2012 20:14

Me too, I'd warm to them in the same way I would if they had ink or piercings. It would be an icebreaker for me.

My DP (24) has lovely long hair that is in better condition than 90% of my female friends. His hair is gorgeous (as is he of course ;)) I agree with the consensus that it's great as long as it is in good nick (the number of times my friends point out someone with a horrible scraggly, greasy ponytail and say "is he your type?'....) and not balding.

YABU

I am highly attracted to men with long her whether they're in a band or not Grin

Yes, men with long hair look absurd. There's nothing more obvious really.

catgirl1976 · 26/07/2012 20:15

I would mind at all

Although - my dentist is really hot. It bothers me as I don't look my best wearing plastic goggle and drooling :( I;m glad he doesn;t have long hair as I might fancy him more

DartsIsFun · 26/07/2012 20:16

Ok putting aside your DH/DP for a minute. What would you think if your bank manager had long hair? Or your dentist? Or your DCs teacher?

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

OutInAllWeathers · 26/07/2012 20:16

YABU. Long as its clean and looked after, same as any other length I have no problem.
Why can't men have the same freedom of expression with their hair as women?

Do you think woman with short hair look absurd?

scottishmummy · 26/07/2012 20:17

so long as it's clean
well groomed
and not mullet

blueemerald · 26/07/2012 20:18

I personally think men with skinhead haircuts look absurd (weird fuzzy eggs..) Takes all sorts, eh badgeroncaffeine.

MsOnatopp · 26/07/2012 20:18

I can not stand short, 'prettied' hair on men. Nothing to me is a bigger turn off.

I like my men with long hair - dreads, ponytail, colour, tidiness.... they are all optional.

I also like beards and can not stand a man in a suit jacket.

spiderlight · 26/07/2012 20:18

YABU! My DH has gorgeous long hair and I love it :o He's a musician but also a top-flight academic and Head of Department at a Russell Group university, and I don't think his students have ever objected. So many of our male friends have long hair that DS, as a toddler, famously described his friend's short-haired dad as having 'girl's hair' :) His hair is in much better condition than mine as well Envy

PurplePidjin · 26/07/2012 20:19

Wtf has hair got to do with whether a Dr is giving sound treatment? My GP has long hair, it bears no relation to her ability to do the job Confused

MsOnatopp · 26/07/2012 20:19

oh and actually DP IS in a band and has worked in a music shop so nerrrrrr....

CaptainKirk · 26/07/2012 20:20

No offence catinboots but I'm only interested in my wife's opinion on the matter! :)

SelfRighteousPrissyPants · 26/07/2012 20:21

I love long hair on men. My dh is going a bit Bill Bailey and I'm dreading him having to cut it Sad I'd think it was great if teachers/bank managers/dentists had long hair- why on earth not? Hmm

PurplePidjin · 26/07/2012 20:22

PS my dp looks a bit like this Wink

OvO · 26/07/2012 20:22

My DH has long hair. And a beard. And wears a bandana.

Small children frequently squeal, "It's a pirate" which amuses me no end. Grin

Yabu. I like long hair on men. Especially if it's red. I likes a bit of ginger.

catinboots · 26/07/2012 20:22

No offence taken captain spoilsport
