My experience dating as a guy with long hair | Do women like men with long hair | What I've learnt

In this video I discuss my experience dating as a guy with long hair. I look at the successes, the challenges and the failures.
I discuss my experiences on dating apps, on dates and look to answer the question of whether women like men with long hair.
I've spent close to three years growing my hair out and the experience of dating as a guy with long was very different to dating as a guy with short hair.

I love men with long hair, for me, it is just SO much more attractive. Only really gorgeous men look attractive to me with short hair. I think the bad reactions come from people who are very conformist and are bothered by long hair because it doesn't match their stereotypes of what a "real man" should look like. And it just annoys me so much when I hear people who automatically assume that long hair is "dirty"... (Especially if it comes from a long-haired woman. I'm like... Seriously, you're a woman, you have long hair, are YOU dirty?) I think one thing I like about long hair is that first, it has more personality. Short hair is so common, and it kind of hides the specificity of your hair (the colour, the texture, is it curly or wavy or straight...). I like diversity. I'm sure some guys don't even KNOW what their hair is like. Also, it simply complements most faces in an advantageous way. Short hair requires a really pretty face, which most people just don't have (you do, you looked good with short hair as well). I think what attracts me the most about long hair is that it shows how comfortable a guy is with their masculinity and who they are. It suggests to me that they can take the stupid criticism long-haired men get, they can have the confidence to look "unusual", and they can say "fuck conformity and silly social norms", and just be themselves, and that's really attractive to me. And yeah, maybe it looks more "wild" and more "sexual", I don't know... I wouldn't say it is the main appeal to me, though. And I definitely don't see long-haired men as less serious or reliable, on the contrary.

[@alexorlandocross]

Absolutely love this comment. I can definitely say my personality, self confidence and individuality have massively improved since growing my hair. I really like your point about people assuming that long hair is dirty just because it's on a man, that is definitely not the case but I'd never considered that before

[@jejmoss11]

This was an awesome reply. Agree totally. I’m growing my hair at the moment (usually have it slightly longer anyway), but get compliments for it. Using lockdown as an excuse. I know how to style and look after it so that helps. I think that more guys should experiment. Long hair might get a bad reputation because some guys grow their hair and do nothing about it. There’s bad long hair styles and there are bad short hairstyles. It’s all about the person in the end and how you wear it.

Try putting in a bun, buns look great for any male with long hair. Maybe even braid it like a Viking to give you a very masculine vibe.

[@clouds-h5549]

As a woman I personally am highly attracted to men with long hair ,(and as a conservative woman) A man can be a 6 but if he grows his hair out he automatically becomes a 7-9 for me Sometimes I even ask men I'm talking with if they ever want to grow there hair (witch is probably bad) But know that I find out that most woman who have my life style are not attracted to the same things as me I'm surprised(which sounds weird and close minded Haha but I just never gave a though two it and just assumed everyone else thought so two) When I see a man with long hair I don't see a unstable man Even as a woman who has conservative and traditional values So this video made me think why I like men with long hair and I think its because I like different and special things and not just mundane boring things I also see them as open minded, smart, adventurous and artistic. So from now on when I see a man with long hair I will have more respect for them because they a strong enough to be them self's Despite the backlash of main cultural standards I have more respect for men with long hair from know on.

I had long hair for a decade, then cut it 5 years ago when my first child was born. The reactions/comments I received when it was long, both positive and negative, were often extreme (once had a guy try to start a fight with me in a pub because of my long hair) I’m growing it back now, I’m about 10 months into the process. It came down to the fact that after I cut it I felt like I’d lost my identity, my individuality. Sure enough the ‘when are you going to get a haircut’ comments are back 😂, but I really couldn’t care less. I’ve not been this happy about my own appearance for five years.

I'm glad I found your video. I'm 58 years old and a widower. My wife was my best friend, she's been gone almost 7 years now. She was a very free-spirited woman. She saw pics of me as a kid in the late 60s & the 70s w/ long hair and told me to follow my heart. Because of her encouragement, I started my first business, got my pilot's license, and yes, regrew my hair out! I've not dated anyone since she passed because I felt like it was cheating and maybe somehow disrespected her memory. Maybe I will date someone someday, who knows, but I'm not going to sweat it. It's good to know if I do "attract" someone, she'll is more down-to-earth like me. They say the average age men die at is around 75.

Im no mad at them, it just that i don't like to explain why im doing what im doing, people with short hair doesn’t explain a shit, do they? So having to show my dad that im not gay or wherever stupid thing i “look” like hahahaha its just terrible for my self esteem, today for the first time i was thinking in cutting it, and i don’t want to, thank you for that actually.

Long blonde hair looks awesome 🙏

[@von6413]

I feel this too. Cuz if covid I decided to grow my hair out since I’ll be inside mostly anyways. After lockdown and some family would come to visit, they’d always ask when I’m getting a haircut 😩. It made me feel so self conscious cuz I thought they’re saying that cuz maybe it looks bad. Then as time went by and I went out a bit more, I started getting compliments and that was something I never really had before. Interesting experience I’d say.

I grew my hair because I think you look really powerful. I can't explain how it exactly feels like but apparently I decided to grow my hair and now the buzz cut is trending here in Greece. Poor me...

[@StefaniRd]

I’m almost exclusively attracted to long-haired men. The exception is, ironically, bald men hahaah I guess I just find the common hair length for men very boring. Personality matters the most and people should look however makes them happy, but men with long hair make the world more beautiful.

[@gb4939]

I am at the other side of the mirror :) I am a man with long hair and the only look that I also like and would be happy to go for is very short buzzcut or no hair at all. I think it's because long hair and super short hair (or no hair) have one thing in common : simplicity and wilderness. I don't like sophisticate things :-) People should do what they think and feel that make them happy, themselves and joyful. People, no matter the haircut you want as long as it suits YOU. No worries, your soulmate is somewhere.

[@Yenseneo]

This really boosted my confidence in the choice I made four years ago wanting long hair I get both sides of the coin some like it some don’t some of my guy friends want my hair short just like some girlfriends like to see me with short hair as well but I think for the men is that they don’t know anyone with long hair and for the women I feel like they feel less feminine because my my hair looks better than them or I get more compliments than them not to sound cocky lol I do get pressured to cut it off and also to keep it but I wanted long hair because of me what you want matters and that’s the end of it.

I love love love a man with long hair. It makes them look Bohemian at times. And that appeals to the side of me that loves nature.

So for me a guy having long hair is amazing because I get so many versatile looks out of the guy

[@user-vc9db6qj2k]

Great video to which I can totally can relate to, as Trav White put it once : "basically we attract the superfans". And in line with your analogy I'd say that I'd rather attract 10 Indie Rock superfans that I have a same outlook on life as me than attract 100 Lady Gaga fans. I have found that I am NOT necessarily better looking with my long-ish hair than I was with a traditional haircut but man, do I stand out like I have never before! Right now my go-to look is Russell Brand's do, not the one you showed but his current one which is a tad shorter and a tad tidier but still rock n' roll enough in my eyes. Also Bradley Cooper's in A Star Is Born is the bomb, I rock that one after a third day post-shampoo (when my hair is naturally that little bit "greasier") with facial hair complimenting both dos of course.

I'm 41, i started growing my hair when i was 15 because I was possessed by heavy metal at the time haha It definitely hasn't made dating easy, some women love my long hair, some don't at all. In the end all that matters is that I love it. Maybe i'll cut it one day when i feel it's time to change but i'll never do it to feel more attractive to shallow women no matter how hot they can be. To me it has always been a good filter because i never wanted anything to do with people that are so judgemental because of a hair cut (or lack of in my case).

I’ve noticed the same thing

[@BigDaddyBsFoods]

Have had short hair all my life (0-28 years old) always had a buzz cut or skin fade with a grade 2 on top. I used to get it cut every week because my hair grows rapidly. I always said I’d grow my hair ‘once in my life’ and 2 years ago I got my first grey hair and I thought I need to do it now rather then when I’m fully grey. I’ve been growing for 2 years and 3 months but my hair is a lot longer than yours as I mentioned ealrier about how quick it grows. I have super thick dense curly hair and I have to say even though it’s took me a good 18 months to get used to not having short hair I really love it in my own way now and have to be honest I get so many compliments on how beautiful, thick and curly it is I don’t think I’ll cut it any time soon. I have a son 3 & half year old son and we have identical hair. I love this also. Great interesting video mate

[@panumattila1253]

I also immidiately started attracting younger women with longer hair.

[@RisingSun96]

Metalhead/rocker here, quite an insightful video here! I obviously grew my hair out because I am very passionate about the music I listen to (always have been). In terms of my dating life, funny enough my last relationship was with a very free spirited woman who out of all the women I have been involved with was the most like myself. I definitely think for sure it narrows down your dating pool, but at the same it makes you stand out in a crowd and many times I have been noticed/hit on by women at parties and bars. So it's not necessarily that I've become more attractive but as you mentioned having long hair exudes confidence and naturally more eyes are on me, therefore my chances seem better. In terms of radiating a sexy vibe, I've definitely been told that too haha. I feel much more free having my long locks, confident and more masculine as I having started working out much more than before when I had short hair as well.

[@alexorlandocross]

There's just something about being a guy with long hair isn't there. You definitely stand out, sometimes that's good other times less so. I agree you definitely feel more confident when the hair is flowing and there's definitely something masculine about it. I think narrowing the dating pool is a good thing in the long run

[@RisingSun96]

@@alexorlandocross Well I am in my early 20s so narrowing the dating pool I don't think is the smartest option haha. I do agree that the women you do attract have more in common with you - like a diamond in the rough. In terms of masculinity, it's definitely the confidence aspect I mentioned before, women will respect you for being yourself even if they're not into you as you mentioned, and that's apparent everywhere.

Welcome to the journey

[@jacknitro9163]

From my experience it is definitely a polarizing statement when you have long hair no matter what field you are in but it should not effect your job prospects as long as you keep it somewhat neat. I am a High School teacher with long shoulder length hair and a beard and some visible tattoos, it is not looked down upon at all by my administrators/bosses. When I was hired 4 years ago I had very short hair. I grew it the past couple of years and my students love it I am the cool (not so young) teacher! To be honest tho, I am looking to change school next year a bit worried how I will be judged by the Principal interviewing me but I plan on keeping it up in a bun or styled so it looks neat and not unkempt. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who judge you but I think as long as you keep it neat looking you will be fine! I hope you find an amazing job and are able to keep that mane long!

[@Aionjimme]

I thought it was me, because I only get 33% of the matches compared to when I had shorter hair. I think it's not harder to get girls, but your pool is reduced by half (66% in my case). This video helped me so much hearing it from another person with long hair.

[@aramis5301]

And it's really annoying. I don't know what makes them think that it's OK to make fun of guys with long hair, or to tell them to cut it. I have a friend who has very long hair and I was really impressed at how calm he was when people did that to him. I wanted to slap these idiots (telling him he looked like a girl, or he should cut his hair, or whatever). I mean, telling a short-haired woman to grow her hair would seem really crass, so why do they do the opposite? Somehow they must feel legitimate in being rude, because they are enforcing "accepted" social norms.

I normally only get my haircut twice a year and I always gets it cut when its around 8 months in the growing process, at the moment I haven't had a haircut since late April and its not even to my shoulder yet.
