Longhairs Everywhere!

I don't know about you guys, but I've noticed a LOT of longhairs recently. I'm not talking about just below the ears either...I'm talking mid-back length. I saw a guy today at the bank who had a long grey ponytail below the middle of his back...he was in his late 50's or early 60's. It's cool to see guys with long hair from every age group. I'm 43 and this is the first time my hair has ever been this long...which goes to show that it's never too late to grow it. I'm seeing lots of inspiration out there!
Keep it growin', guys!

New to the group. Had longhair in my late 30's for the first time and loved it. Cut it and wished I hadn't. Now 47 and approaching 12 months with no haircuts. Have thick wavy, salt/peppr hair.I can (as others have said)finally do the 1/2 ponytail thing. Can't wait for the sides to catch up (getting tired of wearing ball caps). Glad I found this site as I "FEEL" much pressure to cut it and DO NOT WANT TO. To make things "worse" I am a teacher, and one of maybe 3 longhaired men in the district (the others being in their 20's). Another "issue" is I'm single again (straight) and most of my women friends, colleagues, family say CUT IT or I'll never get a date. I hadn't realized other men were online writing about this subject. Glad I found the site.

Good luck - as you'll see from trawling this board, some women are mad about long haired men, others aren't.
Being yourself (ie not pretending to be someone you are not to catch a aprtner) is usually the best basis for a long term relationship, so continue to do what you feel is right for you and hope it works.
There is also a Personals board linked to this board - Victor thinks of everything!

Hang in there! Fellow teacher here. I grew mine out in the middle of one school year, so the worst of the awkward stage hit in the spring, then interviewed for a new teaching position in the worst of it, but was hired anyway!. Started school the next fall with a ponytail, albeit short. I am 43, with mid-back length hair. My students think it's "cool". Colleagues who don't really know me think I am the strings teacher, or a computer "geek" (been told both). Actually, I am the Latin teacher.
