I'm sure it depends on where you live; but the longhairs I've met tended to be tougher/bigger than the average guy. One of my friends is 6'6". I doubt that anyone would want to mess with him. Most of the time criminals are looking for weak victims.
Once I was in a bar and a group of 4 or 5 "rednecks" started making comments about my hair. I was by myself, hoping my friend would show up, so at least there would be two of us. I started making some comments [loud comments] about them after a while because I was getting pissed. Surprisingly, they stopped and I ended up partying with them. Maybe it was a test(?). That's the only time I can remember having a problem because of my hair. That was about 10 years ago or so. Haven't had a problem since. Take care.

It depends in what country you are, and also which race you are.
I myself (I`m kinda latino-lookin), had been aggressed twice because of my hair. I didn`t do anything. Just entered a bus and sat at the back and behind me was a drunken Black guy. Apparently he had something against longhairs. He was using my head as a punchball and I didn`t know if I had to leave the bus or stay. If I left the bus, he might follow behind and beat me up in the streets. If I stayed, he would continue to punch me.
I got away by sudden leaving the bus, but he managed to throw me a kick in the side of my head. It hurt. Such a beast. From that day I swore that I would always keep long hair even if I recently cut it...but it`s still below my shoulders.
Of course we can`t generalise, but in that country, note the name very well, long hairs are not welcome: it`s an island called "LA RéUNION" in the Indian Ocean. The place was StDenis. Pew, such nasty people, intolerant.
Also, people tend to think that because we`re longhairs we are to be treated as girls. So what? Girls are human beings as well. Since I had long hair, I felt how it was to be a girl, to be starred at like an animal. I`ve become more comprehensive, definitely not macho (never was). Long hair makes you look more soft and therefore more vulnerable. People think that we`re fools. But for us, it`s a test, from which we need to be the victors.
I must say...good post-Thanx

I would've pounded that guy after the first time he hit me. Especially considering that he was drunk. Drunks can't respond very quickly or accurately in a fight (for the most part, if they're pretty "hammered", anyway). Anyway, thanks for sharing your story. Good luck.
