i guess it really depends on how it suits you i guess, but if a guy has longer hair than me (a good 40 inches) then you know somethings wrong, or your dumbledore or something lolxmetatr0nx said:
What's the problem with guys who have long hair?

I have no problem with having long hair. I have fairly long hair myself (about shoulder length; when I pull my bangs straight, they're longer than my face). The funny thing is that I've come to discover that my long hair is fantastic.
When the topic of hair occasionally came up in my music class, the teacher would mention that girls would kill to have hair like mine. It was even the center of running jokes among my friends. When one of them in particular would jokingly say something mean to me, I'd (also jokingly) accuse her of being jealous that my hair is prettier than hers.
Another joke, one that contributed to my nickname, which was "God" (much in the same way we called one among us Jesus because he certainly looked the part), was that my hair never lost volume, even when it got wet.
In conclusion, I love my hair now more than I did when I had a buzz-cut. I support men everywhere who want to have long locks.

I have no problem with people bugging me about my hair (I have a slightly-below-the-shoulders mane), but that may be due to the fact that I live in the Pacific NW (lots of hippies here) or the fact that I'm 6'4" and built like a linebacker.
As to why I have long hair, well, there was a period where I used to buzz my head (clippers, no guard, but didn't take a razor to it), and I hit two major problems-- one: I would go places (I was living in the South at the time) and people would say "WOW! STONE-COLD STEVE AUSTIN!" and I find it somewhat disturbing to be confused with a pro wrestler, and two: after three years, my wife looked at me and said "I like you better with long hair."
So... yeah. Long hair is going to be here for a while... and everyone says that it 'just looks right' on me. And since I don't have to invest all that much extra care on it (all I do is shampoo and brush every day-- maybe 5 extra minutes over caring for short hair), it's not all that big of a deal.
Thing is: I don't think it's just the hair. I think the problem with people like the Chavs described by the OP is that they are looking for a target that has some sort of distinguishing feature or characteristic that they can use to attempt to belittle the person and make him or her feel like an outcast.
Now you could say to yourself "I'll do what I can to avoid attention from them", but I would say that in the long run it's more important to be who you want to be... even if you have to take some shit for it.

For those not from England, as others have said before me, chavs are loud-mothed, idiotic xenophobic morons who seem to go out just to look for a fight.
Grrrr at chavs. *Shakes fist*
On topic: My hair's a bit longer than Harrison Ford's in the first Star Wars and I've got stick before for it. And that annoys me, cuz I like my hair.

I got medium to long blonde hair and when I had a small job of delivering a paper route when I was in my early teens, cycling through chavland* I actually got loads of them cycle up to me and comment about it, call me names and mention other things like how much I was getting paid for the paper round.
*(that's what I called it because typically it really was where all the council houses were and where everyone who acted chavish lived, plus it was even on the other side of the tracks... very cliche eh?) I was lucky enough to live in a neighbourhood in between the higher and lower classes of chavs and snobs. I didn't have to socialise with any of them and get called gay.
I really do hate those tracksuit wearing, weed smoking, drug dealing, name calling Chavs, they should go die in a hole, But they do help society in a way, By making everyone else feel better about themselves.

I don't think I've ever gotten any negative comments for having long hair. Mainly sometihng like "Holy shit, it's Jesus/Aragorn!", which I take as compliments really. Too bad I've got to cut it for the army next winter : <
Also I find the amount of people who say they've gotten stuff yelled from cars and such odd. I've never had any similar experiences, and in fact when I go out I always see plenty of guys with long hair. Guess it's not as normal in other countries. (Finland here)

I had shoulder length curly hair about two months back, and I got nothing but stick for it. Now it's been cut for a few weeks, and it's about 6 cm long now. I can't decide wether to grow it back or not, it did get in the way a lot though.
I have long hair, am from the north of England (Newcastle/Gateshead) and the closest I get to trouble is my dad telling me to get it cut once a month.OmegaGamer said:

I've only ever known one person to actively call m out on that quote and, well, I'd sooner run my loins through a garlic grinder than see a dog like her near them. The long hair=feminity argument is somehwat laughable given just how masculine metal is compared to what they listen to. Mine's just below my shoulders atm though it's getting cut soon. Well, I say cut, I mean culled. I think I'm gonna be losing over a foot from its length... 5 years of work are going away just because I occasionally choke when I laugh.

Well nower-days long haird "traditonally" belongs to women. Therefore men with long hair do not conform to socail norms and are seen as different and in the "out-group" and it is "out-groups" which get the sterotypes and the abuse. I think thats as much as my A-level psychology could help
When it's nearing the end of the year, a few cars will pull up and make a "hilarious" and "witty" remark regarding my gender and/or sexuality.
I've never really had too much trouble with twats trying to start a fight, though. I must look scary with long hair.

I'm in my mid-twenties and probably because I grew up in the 80s surrounded by people with long hair I actually think it's rather sexy.
To this end, my husband has been growing his again (he used to have long hair when he was at University back in the days when I was still playing with my Sindy dolls) and it only increases how often I want to do extremely rude things to him.
Long hair for guys is often a problem because of grooming it- obviously no woman will find long hair attractive if it's some greasy knotted mess but there's also something distinctly feminine about spending all your time hogging the bathroom mirror styling it.
As long as it's groomed to a reasonable standard, long hair will always appeal to some chicks... just as much as my husband's Japanese style beard and Reed Richards-style grey sides invoke the kind of lust that pornos are built on in me.
As for chavs, why be bothered about society's most retarded creation? Pop on to the wonderful Chav Scum website and you'll soon be feeling better about it.

I have pretty long hair (almost shoulder length) but I've grown to dislike it.
Going to the hairdresser in 2 weeks, and cutting 'em alot shorter.
Although I don't like them, I'd never ridicule someone because of them.
It's their choice, they like it, and hell, long hair just suit many men.
