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

I'm growing My hair out and I could not give a toss what people think, My Hair, My Choice. Great vid mate.

Long hair on guys automatically makes them look cool and stand out imo

As a guy with long hair I attract women a lot more at the age of 54 then when I did in my twenties

I've always been attracted to guys with long hair. But, as long as you feel comfortable and confident that's all that matters. 💗 all ready subscribed.

I think long hair is very attractive. Grow it out guys. You stand out in a good way.

For younger long haired guys who think they get a lot of grief, just be glad you're not 70 years old. Talk about standing out! I turned 70 this year and almost no woman my age wants to date a guy with long hair. I've had long hair off an on all my life going back to the hippie days. I'm retired so I don't have to adhere to any dress or grooming code because of an employer. One of the nice things about getting older is you no longer care what others think. And at my age, I'm glad I still have a full head of hair to grow.

This was an awesome video! (Even though I'm not trying to impress women) but really solid material man.

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.

You look better with the long hair.

I was actually planning to cut my hair.. But this vid reminded me why I grew it in the first place. I did because I wanted. It was my desire and preference. People's opinions don't matter as long as we're being true to ourselves.

If somebody rejects you because of your hair, that means something's wrong with them and they most likely have some insecurity issues, that they need to overcome, just say'n...

As a woman liking longhaired men, I honestly feel like: less competition around with those women who do not like longhaired men. All those women rejecting my boyfriend for not cutting his hair: I am gratefull to that. Just be yourself and you get the right match.

You're so right in all aspects of this topic. It's very attractive when a guy makes a decision on his own because he wanted to do it instead of growing his hair just to attract women. You'll definitely attract more open minded woman. I love that my man has long hair! We brush each other's hair, share elastics and take turns cleaning out the shower. 😊

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. So if I don't find someone- or more correctly, if they don't find me, it wont be a long drag .

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.

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've got hair nearly to my waist and it's very healthy. This guy just reenforces what I've known for 30 yrs. The women that are attracted to me are more fun and more real. And I'm usually the only long haired man In The room . If there is one woman that digs hair ,shes on me. It's worked for me.

I’m a man with long hair but i never get called gay or a vegan because I’m very muscular people tend to just not make fun of me because of my size

Since growing my hair out and updating all of my pictures on dating apps showing off my long hair, the number of matches and type of women has actually gone up. Could be that I live in San Diego and seeing guys with long hair isn't so uncommon, but its been working great for me. Great video, you made great points.

I have grown my hair long in the past and I regret cutting it short..it probably would be down to my waist by now..don’t ever let a female tell you to cut it off..that will never never happen again..the long hair is here to stay..besides you stand out from the mediocre and show your virility.

I've had long hair for years now. I'm happily married and don't care what any women say or think... however this is what I've noticed. Most females don't like long hair but the ones that do...they let you know it.

"I won't date a man who's got better hair than me" Ha ha ha!! Well, at least that's being honest about jealousy, and about acknowledging it themselves. :) However, there are always going to be people out there we'll look at and think they have something we wish we have, but just imagine if that guy you turned down due to hair could have been your life partner and you said 'no' due to something as petty as jealousy? Ah well! Guess he'll have to marry someone else. :)

12 months in my journey and loving it, there are tons of different styles to choose from with longer hair compared to short hair. I think your body type plays a big role too, example if you are muscular or not in terms of how others view you

Hi, Im from Chile and im growing my hair for over a year now. So, today i have this weird chat with my dad about my hair (he hates it), the thing is that when a person close to you says things believing that they are right or trying to help you, it just gets tiring after months and months of the same discussion. 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. I came here not for dating, for someone with long hair telling his experience, saying just the things that are occurring to me right now, so thank you, it means a lot for lots of people looking for this kind of guy. ♥️

As a guy with long hair for a long time now, my experience is like this: not all women will like it, but those who dig it.... Man, you get a HUGE advantage with them, like a cheat code. It´s really powerful.

Go ahead man.. grow your hair as long as you want..The right people will come to you no matter what..the type of close minded people who judge the others from how they look are making us a favor to stay away from their toxic area....much respect to you♡

I love men with long hair 😍

I think the majority of men we try to grow our hair out because we like the look,including me because long hair perfectly suits and compliments my face,especially when I tie it up,I instantly look more attractive and It gives me so so much confidence.I think it is a very minor issue when it comes to dating because hair is such a superficial thing and if you find that a particular girl does not like your hair it is her problem and not yours because at the end of the day you want to feel satisfied with yourself,that is all that matters!!

This video was exactly what I wanted to see, real feedback and interesting analysis and thoughts. Kind of video we don’t find so often for this type of subject, awesome work thank you !

Having long hair as a guy means expressing our individuality amongst the others. We would rather stand out than look like everyone else with the same hair style. Plus, it’s majestic.

Most girls are not gonna go for you if you have long hair. If you goal is hook-ups, most of the girls you're not even gonna get a chance, because it's such a deal breaker. But. The ones you do attract will REALLY love it. It's just that those females are far and few.

I love how you say long hair is like catnip for women who are looking for certain qualities. I love men with long hair and totally fit into the vegetarian, bohemian type you described. The Family Man image has never appealed to me. In the past I've had boyfriends who began shorthaired but were persuaded to grow it. Now I'm lucky if men have hair at all!

That's basically my experience buddy, some women hate it, other women love it and as you said, they admire your hair but also your confidence, that's completely true

My reason why I like my long hair is because I enjoy the feeling of taking care of something about myself. The feeling of long straight healthy hair is really appealing and rewarding to me.

I think it's important to clarify the difference between men who look trerrible with long hair, men who can pull it off and men who look amazing.

Decided to grow my hair out when I graduated in 2019, and now I’m like 20 or so months in, and I’ve been told by a lot of people that long hair suits me much more. I’m in my freshman year of college (I took a year off), and almost everyone I meet calls me Thor lol. The confidence long hair has given me is off the charts

You look extremely hot. I love men with long hair. My ex was a professional man but he had long hair. Im an artist, belly dancer and poet and I really think men with long hair are sexy but he has to be smart and have a beautiful heart.

I currently have grown my hair long back as before. I do get compliments and hateful opinions from others.

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...

I'm growing it out too, so many people asked me when i will get a haircut. Once through the awkward stage I received the first positive statements on my hair. At first I wasn't sure if it will suit me or if it will look feminine, bc I have bright blonde hair so might be.. Now I'm loving it, I definetly won't cut it xD

Lucky me I found your video! I was planning on cutting my hair. Actually I dont care what ppl think about it. But sometimes I get tired of hearing bad comments. On the other hand one person that always says good things about my hair is my daughter. She loves it.

Awesome video! My friends we're also mentioning about the same thing with polarization but the girls who like long hair have a stronger attraction. It's great to see someone else with similar experiences!

"Yes, it will get you laid." Me with long hair: *nervous low confident laughs*

I noticed that I get more compliments with my long hair from women than I did when I used to cut it . I always take care of my hair and it helps that I have volume lol

The most hate I get as a man with long hair is from bald guys. But honestly I couldn’t care less because I am growing my hair for someone else. I’m going to donate it at the Great Cut 2024 in San Diego on The Longhairs channel. Women love touching my hair so I’m not complaining!! Just an added bonus! 😂

Keep the hair bro! Long hair men strong together lol so let’s unite! Great video 🤙

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.

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.

Great video. I would be interested to hear about the response you’d get on the dating app if you only posted long hair photos. By posting short hair photos, you’re not likely to get responders who really like long hair. People who like longer hair wouldn’t even approach you. The responders you did get probably felt like it was bait and switch when you sent your new photos. Some women really don’t like facial hair either (I don’t recall if your long hair pics have a beard or not). In any case, thanks again for the video!

I got hair to half my back and totally 80’s rock n roll style .. a lot of women hate that but I couldn’t care less .. I think it’s looks cool and feel good about .. great vid man!

The whole not paying attention to judgement is really great advice. I'm not growing my hair out for my girlfriend or whoever..I'm growing it out for me!

As a metalhead , in the metal scene , I have long hair and I notice that , if you have short hair and you're a metalhead you dont get taken as seriously than a long haired guy.

Being a woman with long hair i like it in both men and women. There is something i feel is powerful and prideful in long well groomed hair. The energy it gives is like the mane of a lion .

Going through the same thing right now. I actually love the polarizing aspect of it, gets you more dates! Fitting in to the mold does nothing for you, but make you blend in with the rest of the world.

I started growing my hair long in 2002 and found out that it was really curly… my niece was born in 2003 and called me “Uncle Simba” because of it… when I donated my hair in 2010, she threw a fit. “Uncle Simba, where’s you’re mane?” 🦁

You are adorable !!! I love men with long hair and I will first talk with you before i come to a conclusion about you. I would so date men with long hair, tattoos and piercings. Im the type that wants a serious relationship !!!!

"You look like a vegan" - that's quite the compliment!

Love this video mate very well explained and actually opened me up to new ways of thinking regarding the long hair scene on guys - I'm currently just over 3 years into my hair growth

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. Then it times they can look Suave and that appeals to the side of me that loves fashion. And at times it can look Rogue and that appeals to the grungy Rockside that I adore. So for me a guy having long hair is amazing because I get so many versatile looks out of the guy

"I wont date a guy with better hair than me" cudos for the honesty, but its your loss. I could give you a hair care routine so good that it would make all the other girls jealous of your shiny, silky locks. I should know, they're jealous of mine

you described everything perfectly! 17 and currently growing out my buzzcut cause im tired of shaving my head and want to change my appearance, plus i feel like hair gives so much energy and rounds the face. And im spiritual also :) subbed!

As a guy who has had long hair for 40 years, It seems right now is the worst time or its just dating itself sucks. Ive tried all the online apps and I literally get no response, likes or comments. Just basically ignored. I don’t care what people think, which is why my hair is down to my waist and I’m not cutting it. People have said cut your hair and you’ll find a girlfriend and then grow it back. Why would I want someone who doesn’t want me for being me. Ive had long hair all my life, never shorter than below my shoulders. I know I’m older at this point and I just do my own thing. For me apps are a waste of time and I’m ok with being single and alone. The 80’s were an awesome time for long hair👍

Last 5 years I’m growing my hair and cutting into the shape where possibly I can make pony style , I felt that I’m getting more hits by girls compared to short hair . I’m turning into 30s and I got married recently who she likes my hair so much , still I satisfied of my hair and you get more eyes everywhere.

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.

I appreciate hearing your experiences and analysis. Although I'm 64, and in a long-term relationship, I'm still curious about how others now see me -- 30 months into the pandemic, and without having had a haircut over that time. It is vicariously delightful to hear what a younger man is going through.

This is interesting. I've always dated men with long hair and prefer them. I say do what you're comfortable and happy with and be true to yourself.

I was never attracted to guys with long hair until I met my boyfriend. I didn't like it at first but the longer we are togheter, the more it grows on me as a part of him. I could start seeing the beauty in it and now don't want him to cut it. XD

It's a quite nice filter. Those who judged you on the hair aren't "dating-material" anyway. This gives you a nice "shortcut" i guess :D

I've just completely got rid of long hair. The reason. It's a pain in the arse doing anything. Showering becomes a massive chore compared to the ease of washing short hair. You can't just wake up in the morning and not do anything with it, otherwise you look like you have been dragged through a bush. It made me hate wind as all it's good for is messing the hair up. Gets in the way whilst working. The products you have to use to keep it healthy and strong is money that is better spent elsewhere. Honestly, it's a monemtal pain.

Personally, I mostly get compliments for my long hair. The only ones who ever told me I looked better with short hair were dudes and, of course, their opinion doesn't concern me as much as a female's would, and even that wouldn't concern me. Point is, experiment, see what works for you and what doesn't. Long hair isn't for everybody but, if you think that it is for you, carry it with confidence and don't let negativity get to you

Interesting stuff, I'm trying to grow my hair out for the first time and been watching long hair videos. Knowing what lies ahead is a good thing to know.

I’ve been told to cut my hair more than once by potential dates/would-be girlfriends but that is not going to happen. Most girls don’t like men with long hair, and I think that is well studied & proven by now. I love having long hair.

I've honestly come to the realization, that even if a guy can pull of long hair, most of the time he will objectively look always better with short. However, if he can pull of long hair, it might be worth to keep it just for the sake of standing out, even if he would look more "put together" with short, just for the sake of being your true authentic self. I do myself look quite put together and attractive with short, and now I have long hair. I think that in terms of women, I am doing myself a slight disservice by having long hair and filtering out some. But I also know that I can pull off long hair, which very few guys in my opinion can do, so I still find it worth it, and in matter of fact - it just feels more like me. I'm also more into creative and artistic women, and not the classic normal type, so having long hair usually attracts those type more which suits me better anyway.

I'm growing my hair out now and I'm curious how this is going to affect getting a job. I'm studying product design and soon I'll be applying to jobs. My suspicion is that long hair will make me more memorable and seem more eccentric which is not necessarily a bad thing in a creative field. Any insight into other peoples experience with job applications and long hair would be great!

Yup. Exactly what I thought. That's why I'm trying to grow my hair, but it's hard!

I have been grown my hair in 1 year's now and like how i look. If women dont like my long hair i don't care i just want to be myself.

Alex.. you are preaching to the choir!! Keep it up😎

Honestly, I’m open to a lot of stuff and looks too. I love long hair.

Don’t ever change your appearance to impress someone, I will never cut my hair short just to impress someone, they should like you for you

Guys you look amazing with long hair 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you give off extremely powerful and manly vibe which is really attractive. Stay confident and just imagine you are an ancient God that is rocking the long hair hairstyle👏🏻👏🏻😌😌.

Got my long hair over lockdown uk decided to keep it :). A found that it brings something out in ppl around you it shows you ppl who love you for you and don't mined it or don't care and ppl that say aww cut that. So a get rid off the ppl that say cut it and now have ppl that are there for me :). Thanks for vid stay true

This gave me a whole different outlook on my hair, amazing vid btw

It’s so weird- I can’t see your short hair within your long hair if that makes sense. I haven’t seen your short hair before this video but I can totally easily picture you with short hair. I think it’s the way you’ve got it styled as well as where the color is. Looks great man.

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.

My dad has been trying to get me to cut my hair short for the past 2 years to no avail and assures me people are thinking my hair looks dirty and gross I have been getting compliments by strangers, and even customers at my workplace on my hair - men and women alike. I told my dad this and he says "yeah they're just being nice, they don't mean it" Lol so a person going out of their way to compliment you with no incentive to do so (like a salesman for instance) is just being nice? Think he's just jealous 😂 Nah I'm joking I love my pops but yeah it was a good decision to stick to it

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).

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

I found this interesting as a married guy working on growing out his hair. I have a long beard and have found a similar response - women that don't like it are VERY vocal in their disgust (LOL).

It’s a Part of my culture to have long hair and I just keep it back in a low ponytail

I don't get the greatest responses on dating apps and well hate apps. But IRL as long my hair is straight and shiny women actually do like it. A female friend told me my hair is pretty. Women at work seem to dig it too.

Good grief, I am glad that I am old. Dating apps? Oh my God, how utterly humiliating. I am so sorry that now days men feel like they need to resort to using technology to get a date. And then to have women judge you on the app? Just the thought of that gives me the shivers. I think the whole process is extremely demeaning.

First, awesome seeing people stand up for the long hairs. Good video. The only question I have is: Are you using hairspray? lol. It would look fantastic naturally with almost no products except a defrizz spray etc.

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.

Found your video just randomly very nice To me: My hair is as long as my whole back at 1.86m height & let it keep growing. I would never cut it for anybody’s reasons or opinions, i mean look at the history: the vikings, in the french revolutionary or the samurais in japan many man‘s had long hair so nobody should put guys with long hair in a pot with just vegan heavy metal or yoga. Maybe it is true or not. Very greatly to hear some other experience of you 👍

From my personal perspective I believe that the women who won’t date a man with long hair is that he’ll be too attractive and other women will flirt with him for sure and that may cuz a lot of jealousy problems and other things in the relationship, so most of women opt for the safe thing and go with a regular man with a normal hair which is quite popular..

I think the long hair really suits you looks great !

The only reason i cutted my hair was the amount of work that havong long hair brings, i kinda regret cutting it and i'm letting it grow again. (wish me luck on the awkward phase lol) amazing video btw!

Yes i love men with long hair

You are very handsome with long hair! Hugs!

Currently growing my hair out (just entered awkward stage 🙃). Way I see it judgment gonna happen but who cares? Gonna enjoy the journey
