'Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?'
Where's the logic in that? How does nature teach you anything about the right length for a man's hair? Who cares? What conceivable relevance does any of it have today?

No. 1 Corinthians was believed to have been written by Paul, and he was writing against long-haired men and short-haired women, but about a specific custom of his times. You shouldn't take these verses as reason not to have long hair, nor for women not to have short hair.

What was the average hair length for men, back in the days when the bible was being written?

The bible says its a shame. My son has long hair and is a Christian, so I guess if you feel convicted, you shouldn't have it.

how long? was there a measurement given in the Bible? No, so how would you know how long is too long?

oh it must be, a lot of my male pagan friends have long hair, so that's proof enough isn't it?

Yes, men are to look like men. Women are to look like women.
