Questions for y’all:
Would you ever not date a guy because his hair was long (or longer than yours)?
Would you ever date a guy because of his hair?
Would you ever want a guy to cut his hair if he wanted to pursue things with you further, and apart from the hair you did as well?
All three of these are 95 percent hypothetical. The other 5 percent is the fact that I have long hair.
I would only want a guy to cut his hair if it looked better in a different style. I just want my man to look good in a style that he’s comfortable with.
I would never date a guy with long hair. i know it’s stupid(it’s only hair), but I just find that unattractive, no matter how hot the rest of the package is, and FTR, Iampunha, yer mighty fine. Have you considered a crew cut? 
My hair is nape-of-the-neck, above-the-ears short, so lots of guys I’ve got out with have longer hair than I do.
I wouldn’t disqualify a guy because he had long hair, but I don’t seem to date a lot of guys who do. But then, when I think about it, I don’t seem to meet a lot of guys who do.
I wouldn’t date a guy who was obsessively into his hair though – you know, playing with it and checking it out all the time. Long or short doesn’t matter, but vain is out.
I would not date a man on the basis of the length of his hair… or lack of length for that matter 
I have encouraged a haircut to a guy who had a really bad hair cut.

I wouldn’t disqualify someone for having long hair, but I’ve always thought long hair was kind of (no offense) icky. For me, it would have been more of a matter of meeting someone with long hair. Theoretically, if I had been approached by someone with long hair, they wouldn’t have been dismissed, but the physical attraction wouldn’t have been there (probably) for me anyway, so it wouldn’t be an issue. Granted, looks aren’t everything, but that’s not what you’re asking, is it?

I LOVE long-haired men. In fact, Brian and I have an understanding that he’s not allowed to cut his hair unless he’s going bald, in which case he shaves his head as bald as a cue-ball.
Depends on the guy…some look better with long hair, some better with short. I would never NOT date someone because of their hair length, however. (Reverse is true too…I date for the whole package, not just the hair.)
Now where’s Drain Bead…I’m sure she has an opinion on this.
Goboy, have you noticed my close-cropped coif? wink
It just depends on the guy. Some guys look great in some hairstyles and some hairstyles look great on some guys.
“Apart from the hair you did as well”? I’m a little confused. But, for the first part of the question, No, I wouldn’t want a guy to cut his hair for me.
I like long hair on men, but I wouldn’t date a guy because of it. Plenty of assholes have a long hairstyle. My fiancé has great hair, but that’s not why I’m marrying him–or why I started dating him in the first place. I started dating him because he was/is an incredible man (with the fortune of incredible hair).
The question goes in reverse, too–would you boys date a girl strictly because she had long hair? Or ask her to cut it? Or not date her because it was long/short?
Actually, I was seriously considering cutting my hair. Then I went to a party, where a girl I didn’t know plopped down on my lap and started playing with my hair. Now, I know it wasn’t my looks that prompted this, so I can only assume it was the hair. So I’ve decided I’m gonna keep it. And for good reason.

I once had short hair. In fact, as recently as december of '98 I had hair not going lower than my ears. Freshman year of high school I had a buzz cut.
My hair is thick. Very. And when it is short it sticks out. And when it gets longer it still sticks out.
But I don’t just keep it long (or not short) becaose of the appearance. It keeps me cool in the summer and warm in the winter. What can I say? There are other reasons, but they’re hard to explain.
First thought to take out of context: this could be applied to large women[not a bad thing]. “We shade in the summer, and heat in the winter.”

I wouldn’t date someone specifically because of the length of her hair, but there are some people on whom a really short 'do would look horrible, and some people on whom a really long 'do would as well. For me it depends on the person and their hair.
This is like my favorite color . . . some colors look good for one thing and bad for another. I think blue is a lovely color for eyes, but I would cringe if I saw a blue piece of meat, for example.
BTW my favorite color for hair is red. I find redheads have the most lively faces . . . in my experience. That’s natural redheads, btw. Dyed reds don’t have the same facial type . … also, in my experience.
I like men with short hair. BUT if they do have long hair, and it’s clean, well groomed, etc, than they wouldn’t automatically be disqualified.
Oops, I’m taken. Sorry, y’all proceed without me, mkay?

Ah, so you watch Jenny Jones as well . . . the thing is that they heat in the summer and shade in the winter as well.
It goes both ways . . . oh shit, did I just say that out loud?
So you’re hot for redheads, huh?
::edges away from iampunha::
As my then fiance was cutting my hair just before our wedding, I told her I’m not getting another haircut until our first aniversary. She tried to talk me out of it; she didn’t think she would dig the long hair me. That was 10 months ago, my hair is now past my shoulders and she loves it.
Now, her idea for my haircut at our aniversary … Mowhawk. I just may do it too.

Right now, Freak, I’m not that picky since I have 0 hair colors from which to pick. However, ideally I’d like a redhead.
