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.

i'm 18, and my family has sort of directed me towards guys with short hair after i started getting old enough to be interested in guys.

if i ever point out a guy with long hair, my mom will instantly snap "he needs a hair cut!" and will kind of turn up her nose. that's not to say that she or i would reject a perfectly caring, honest, sweet guy just because he had long hair, because personality TOTALLY plays the bigger role, but it's the first impression thing. i've been raised to assume that guys with shorter hair and more clean cut and presentable. i would kind of view a guy with long hair to be more hippie-ish or rockish, but i wouldn't judge a guy solely on that. as far as taking a guy seriously, i'll take anyone seriously as long as they give me a good reason too, i dont care what their hair looks like. good luck!

(Rating: 4) It's odd... usually I get better terms with the parents of the woman I'm interested in rather than her. It's happened more times than I can remember. Thanks for your answer!
