How do you feel about men, over 60, with long hair?

I don't like long hair on a man period but when they look like this picture, it is worse because they look nasty.
 
To us a long haired male is either a wannabe hippy or a leftover hippy that never grew up.

Related is one who is bald on top and with a pony tail. He could carry a sign that says "Boomer".

On a trip on a slow ship to Greece, some of us decided to grow beards. Mine was gone on day three because it itched like hell.
 
I love long hair period so of course I like it on men too. As long as it's clean and groomed. I don't think long hair on a man makes him look older FYI.
 
I've always liked long hair on men, still do, no matter what age. My husband had shoulder length hair when I met him, but cut it shortly afterwards for work related reasons, he kept it short after that because he just preferred it that way. I liked him both ways, it's just what the man himself wants and feels comfortable with.

What I don't like is men who shave their heads completely bald, an aging man with male pattern baldness is just fine with me, whether he keeps it long or short, but shaving everything off is something I see a lot of men doing, many because they're losing their hair, and I think it does them a disservice, IMO.

Thanks folks. This has been fun and interesting. Also revealing. Of course the choice is up to the individual, male or female and there is no set answer. Besides, ever try telling
your significant other their hair looks like....Yah, me neither. :)

I think younger men can pull off the longer hair. But as you age, not so much. I like a neat haircut that goes with the facial and head features. And those long scraggy beards are disgusting to me. Keep it trimmed and neat.
 
I trim my hair every day. I leave it fairly long at the back because I have one of those lumps to cover.

I could have an operation to remove it but I'm afraid to.

My neighbor down the street had a small lump on the side of his neck. He had it removed. He got one of those infections that you can't cure. He died.

The lump can stay for now. You can't notice it if I leave my hair long at the back. I still trim it short however.

I don't think I would like rally long hair because I would be washing it constantly. I cant stand it when it gets oily.
 
Hair length is no big deal...so long as it is kept clean, and fairly well groomed. Of more importance, IMO, is moustaches and beards. Some guys walk around with a face full of "fur"...especially around their mouth, and a close look usually shows evidence of what their last meal was. Moustache hairs that extend below the upper lip, and long flowing beards, not only look unsightly, IMO, but also present issues with personal hygiene.

Isn’t that the truth (NOT!)
It’s funny, the prejudgment of an overwrought mind
Much like the outwardly clean Pharisees judging that guy from Nazareth
