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?

perplexedpirate · 26/07/2012 20:24

It's not for me. Much to my DH's disappointment. Grin

My dad has long hair, or at least he did last time I saw him several years ago. It made him look like a wanker/arsehole. YANBU OP.

MsOnatopp · 26/07/2012 20:30

DP's hair is near his belly button. He is HAWT!

catgirl1976 · 26/07/2012 20:33

There's a pic of my DH on my profile. But with short hair not long. I think he looks better with it short but sometimes I miss it :) I cried when he cut it but it was time. It was time.

catinboots · 26/07/2012 20:34

Well he's allowed long hair then MsO. He falls into one/two of the exempt categories....

Long hair does it for me too (sorry). I never did leave 1989, Sebastian Bach anyone?

MsOnatopp · 26/07/2012 20:37

Thanks catinboots, I shall inform DP that you have said it's OK. He will be delighted Wink

catgirl1976 · 26/07/2012 20:38

Haha, you shouldn't have mentioned long hair in the title. We were bound to swarm in. We long hair lovers are a bit... feisty :o

jazzchickens · 26/07/2012 20:43

I like long hair on a man as long as it's clean and not straggly.

Much better than them having hair gelled into a hedgehog and checking the mirror every 5 minutes.

Fiendishlie · 26/07/2012 20:43

yeah, I know, Catgirl. I do mean circa 1989.
I liked Davy Vain too, and all of Poison, GnR etc still do

YABU - The head of the paediatricans practice that we use for DD has his hair in a pony and he is a grandfather to 6. When scouting out the options for her it was what made me decided to go with them. My thoughts were that here in the US, if a top rated paediatrican is willing to go against norms then I doubt he will over prescribe antibiotics. Turns out my instincts were right. He is fab with all aspects of DD's health and development.

FallenCaryatid · 26/07/2012 20:50

I have numerous male friends with long, clean thick hair and it looks great.
Some of them are musicians, a couple are even in rock bands,
You are being a square.

GingerWrath · 26/07/2012 20:51

I went out with guys with longer hair than me til I met DH..he is bald! Long haired boys are lovely..think Sebastian Bach or Brett Michaels!

catgirl1976 · 26/07/2012 20:53

You know who had nice hair?

Michael Hutchence

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Bit boufy but nice

ravenAK · 26/07/2012 20:56

Dh is a musician & has short hair Sad.

Although as it's ginger & tends to grow horizontally, this may be as well, or he'd end up looking like this handsome chap.

My DH is teaching himself piano, does that count? Wink

He has long curly, dark blonde hair, frankly the best most high maintenance hair in this family, DD and myself included!

Found some hysterical old photos the other day of when he was growing it, before it was long enough to tie back, very Krystal Tips! Grin

His reason for keeping it long - if it's short it needs to be cut regularly (see above Smile) and he doesn't like going to the barbers!

MothershipG · 26/07/2012 21:07

raven Grin What a handsome chap!

Nightwish · 26/07/2012 21:08

I love long hair on guys.
When I met DP his hair was just below his shoulders, before he cut it all off it was half way down his back and longer than mine Envy.

He had to cut it off for work as a mechanic though because it got in teh way even when it was tied back.

(I still have it in a drawer Blush as I got the hairdresser to cut it off as a ponytail for me)

To be honest short hair suits him more, but I still loved his long hair and think long hair on most guys is way better than short!

Nightwish · 26/07/2012 21:09

Oh... and I did forget, he was in a Metal band at the time so I believe it was allowed anyway!

And a biker Grin.

bitofcheese · 26/07/2012 21:11

yabu, some older men suit long hair, for some it is part of their lifestyle choice (hate the word lifestyle...). btw, dh has very long hair, is older and is in a rock band :)
