Women: Should older guys wear their hair long if they can, or does it look kind of silly and pathetic for...?

Question

an old guy to have long hair, like he's trying to recapture lost youth?

I'm trying to decide whether to regrow my hair or not. It's short right now.

There are pics of it long, and short, on my 360.

I'm giving thumbs up to all of you so far, just because you were nice and respectful with your answers.

Guinea... That was hilarious! Thanks for the laugh. I had that look on my face because I HATE having my picture taken, so I was a bit annoyed at the camera holder.

Answer 1

You look better with longer hair, it looks sexy and you appear friendly. With the very short hair, you look a bit threatening, like a doorman lol. HTH : )

Answer 2

I am very picky and I think that all guys should have short hair. It just has to be above the ear. I like bick bald the best. But not everyone looks good like that. The shorter the hair on a guy the cleaner they look. Your length in the picture looks good.

Answer 3

I think long hair looks cool on older guys but not if they let it get all grown out and nappy looking. The key is regular grooming every 4 - 6 weeks, just to keep it from getting shaggy. When it's not taken care of properly it can look like granpa trying to recreate the 70's metal look.

Answer 4

You have to do what is best for you...but for me personally it is unattractive for a man to have long hair...I think a man looks more put together with a nice stylish clean cut...In my opinion a man looks more sexy when he is confident at what ever age he is...not trying to "look" more youthful...But...different strokes for different girls...if you really want long hair...I am sure there are many girls who will hold exactly the opposite opinion of everything I said....The main thing...be yourself.
After looking at your 360...I would go somewhere in between.

Answer 5

I think you look better witht he short hair because of your face shape. But you can do an inbetween of those pictures of long and short. Short doens't have to be very short nor does long have to be really long. You should play with different lengths to see what is best for you

Answer 6

It does not have anything to do with age at all! Either you look sexy with long hair or not... I think that long hair is soooo hot if you take care of it. My grandpa was 54 when he died and he had long awesome hair. It looked amazing! He was like a clean cut ZZ top lol. I love long hair on guys when it is clean and well managed! Happy Holidays Sweetie!

Answer 7

I say theres no 'hard and fast rule' on hair length.
It has more to do with personality I think with what you can get away with and what you can't.
I have really long, curly red hair and I feel SO overexposed with short hair. I like hiding behind my hair (of course I'm not a middle aged man so this doens't really answer anything does it?)

Answer 8

If the guy keeps his hair trimmed at the ends so it's not all split-endy, and he keeps it clean, its sexy!.....but if its all scraggly and rough, greasy, etc then its just sort of "stoner" hair and that's not hot at all.
I know an attorney who wears his hair really long, mid-back length and he keeps his sideburns trimmed nicely and the hair is always superclean and shiny with perfectly trimmed ends.......its a long ponytail, but he doesn't look like some 70s throwback at all........its sex-sayyyyyyyy!

Answer 9

I think the way your hair is in your avatar is great. When you said "long" I assumed that you meant 80's hair-band long. Boy - I'm glad I was wrong. You hair looks good for your face the way it is - I didn't care for the crew cut look on you too much.

Answer 10

It pretty much looks silly even on younger dudes. But it's pretty much out of style for older guys. Guys are so much hotter with a short, tight do.
