This is more a question for the ladies, but men are perfectly welcome to answer it too.

I'm a guy (obviously) and I've had long hair since I was about 17 or so (I'm 23 now). From a personal standpoint I like having long hair but I'm beginning to wonder if people see something different than what I really am when they look at me. This is especially true of the women I've dated. I seem to attract the type of women who are the complete opposite of me. Myself I'm fairly deep into the conservative side of things, I'm religious, etc... But my exes, who were attracted to guys with long hair, were almost my complete opposites on many views which eventually resulted in break-ups. I've been called a "hippie" and a few other things when I'm actually a very conservative soul.

So I guess my questions are... Do some women (possibly the ones that I would like to be with) take guys with long hair seriously? What is your first impression about the personality of a long haired guy? Do we all seem like flippant elf-boys on first glance?

I'm looking for honest opinions, not what you "THINK you'd think" but rather what you really do think if that makes any sense. And if you find this topic funny, feel free to laugh, as I am laughing right now when writing it. Also, sorry if this is in the wrong category, but I couldn't think of a better one, even the relationship category.

Personally, I too find myself thinking that long haired guys more open-minded but also relaxed.
I tend to get more attracted to long haired guys as well, I'm not sure why.

If a guy with long hair is dressed nicely, and doesn't look like a bum, then I'm very curious as to what his personality is like and what his interests are.

(Rating: 4) Thanks for the reply! And thanks for the ideas about dressing up a little more to "make up" for the hair. =P
