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.

When I see a guy with long hair, I automatically assume that he's open-minded. People that have their hair long have obviously thought about it. I like thinkers. I also would guess they're a hippie (or indie, or just into older music like classic rock) but that's probably only because I'm like really attracted to hippies for some reason. Usually, opposites do attract, but I don't really understand what you're talking about with the hair thing. Are you saying you attract wild girls that aren't relgious and are more liberal? That could make sense but that isn't always the case. Maybe those are just the women that you're attracted to, and that you're going for. If you don't like the girls that you're dating, change that, not your hairstyle. Know what I'm sayin'? =]

(Rating: 5) Yeah, it's the more liberal minded that I seem to attract and unfortunately it never goes well for me. Thank you for your answer, I actually liked yours best of all! Though I'd sooner cut my hair than my beliefs. =P
