What length do you guys sideburns should be at with long hair either tied back ir free at about shoulder length?
I prefer tidy and just above the bottom of the ear but I do them off completely every three or four months and then can't decide whther it looks right.
Thoughts?

I've never worn sideburns. I hate them.

I think sideburns are awesome. But alas, genetics torments me yet again. I can't (yet) grow past the bottom of my ear, but I wear them as long as I can get. I wanna go for mutton chops, but I'm not sure if that's ever gonna be possible. I don't want the big poofy ones though. So I was trying to tame my sideburns with a beard/mustache trimmer, and I realized that they're not nearly as thick as I thought, so I ended up with little patches of sideburns. I took them off completely, and now I'm starting over. Yeah, pointless story, but what can you do?

I wear mine the same way, about to the bottom of the ear. I feel weird without them. I don't like when they get too long or shaggy, either.

Sideburns can look great with long hair, but it depends on one's own face shape and beard growth pattern. The only thing is to look at yourself critically both with and without them and then decide.
Sideburns can be useful for long-haired guys that have a face and body shape that may cause them to be mistaken for the opposite sex occasionally, and if this makes them uncomfortable, and if they don't want to grow a moustache and/or goatee. The sideburns can also be more easily seen from behind than a moustache or goatee.
Myself? I've always worn a full beard including, of couse, sideburns.

Heh... I've been mistaken for a girl, even with long sideburns. Stupid people.

I wear sideburns to look more masculine (no beard or moustache at present). I have them go to the bottom of the earlobe and also trim them to keep them full, but not bushy or thick. They look hot, IMHO.
