I like long hair, on women and on men, because it makes me smile and it's fun to play with in ways that short hair and wigs are not.

Did I roll my eyes forever when I mentioned I was cutting my then waist-length hair and people (of both genders) freaked the fuck out? Yeah, but I wasn't offended so much as amused. Peeps were treating it like I was knocking down a national treasure. Dudes, it's hair. It Will Grow Back.

Hell, even knowing that at this weight, I look best with mid-length locks, I still have pangs of longing for the old length.

That's true...I guess I'm reacting to her level of repulsion...if I were him, I'd feel rejected in more than an orgasm way. But he would offer her money and she'd take it, so not the most soulful couple to ever live. I'm not trying to suggest that love has no squicks, though, exactly. But I, personally, couldn't imagine having a baby with somebody if I wouldn't give them head...and, God, I'm elegant these days.

I had an ex sort of kind of break up with me because I cut my hair, although the conversation went something like this

Me: Gosh, I feel so much more like myself now that my hair is cut

Him: Well, I was thinking that you seemed like so much more of a bitch since your hair has been cut.

in his defense, I sort of was being a bitch. He is someone who I should have dated as an older person, not as a twenty year old.

Sumi, by the way, that sucks. Not in the good clean cock way, either.

My dad LOVES long hair. When he and my mom met, they were both sporting waist-length hippie hair, and when she cut it all off, he very grudgingly admitted that it looked better. And he still wants her to grow it out again, even though he knows it's never gonna happen.

(The funny part is that all three of his daughters also had waist-length hair as teens, and then chopped it off in college.. And not one of us grew up to be a rock star. We're such a disappointment...)

I love guys with long hair, but will happily admit that when DH grew it out in college (at my request -- I was curious), he looked like he was training to enter a Kevin Smith lookalike contest, and not in a good way. It was a bad, bad look for him.

I've also asked him to grow the beard back, but that's more a I-don't-like-kissing-stubble issue than a looks issue.

Much to my sorrow my hair doesn't go much past my bra-strap. My objection would be based in my own personal pain -- but I doubt I'd freak out.

Yeah, Sumi, what bastards!

Sumi.... I feel the pain of being "support staff"

The worst is that they just had the student worker tell me she was going as she was leaving. . . where is the common courtesy of say, advanced notice? Even 30 minutes?

I have to admit, it was pretty fabulous hair. Waist-length, thick, slightly wavy, and the perfect shade of red. (Which, I am here to tell you, is harder than hell to get.) But, man, I was so sick of being defined by my hair at that point. (This was just as I was starting to crawl out of my depression.)
