Men-Do you wear long hair? Do you tie it up?

I have worn short hair almost all my life. I still get my hair cut every 2 weeks by my girlfriend.
Now she’s on this kick for me to let my hair grow out. It’s not for me, but every time she cuts it, I hear about it.
It’s really starting to get on my nerves and I want to tell her to leave it alone, but don’t want to start a thing about it.
I don’t color it or anything else. It’s got some gray in it now, but I’m not 25 anymore.

Kinda sounds like you're going to have to say something to her, maybe just very gently?

When we met my husband was 36 and had a ponytail that really didn't suit him. I didn't bother him about it, but I was relieved when he had it cut off a couple years later. I don't dislike long hair on men, but it has to work with their features.

I agree. To each their own . Some men choose to grow their hair long but it’s best if it suites them. Some men look great with long hair while others don’t. Long hair looks best if it’s well cared for; meaning it needs trimming to care for split ends etc. Long straggly hair looks horrible on both sexes.
 

No, I've never worn hair long enough to tie up. I want the back part to stop at or above the collar. Since I cut my own hair, I don't have to worry if someone is going to chop it up or cut it too short.
 
I keep my hair short. I comb it, but I never let it hang over my ears or my neck. My dad was the same way.
I have a full head of hair, although it may have thinned over the years to some degreeI would think it should be up to the individual. , but I like keeping it short.

If your girlfriend likes guys with long hair, you may be fighting a losing battle. It seems kind of petty to argue over how long a person’s air should be. I think it should be up to the individual.
 
In highschool my hair was longish because I didn't want to fork out $2 for a haircut, but I never tied it up or had a pony tail. I started getting basic man cuts once I graduated and started working.

If I were to grow it out at this age I would definitely style it in a man bun, that would be great for covering my bald spot.😉
 
For about 20 years I had long hair. Long enough to sit on it while it was tied or in a braid.
Then I had it shaved off about 17 years ago and donated it, to Pantene could make wigs for cancer patients .

Kept it 2mm short with a Whal trimmer up until recently. I started to let it grow out.
 
DH keeps his short now and it is finer than 10 years ago so it flies around a bit.
So he plasters it down with whatever he has on hand and personally;
I love the blown look better (sort of a Billy Bob Thornton look on him) .
It's not in his eyes but you can see hair at least. But it's his head and he feels
comfortable with it smacked down flat for some reason.
 
I still have a pony tail, but I'm not committed to it. I think about going back to a regular cut, but when I mentioned it to others, I've always been told I should leave it. So I leave it as it is. As long as it's not offensive to my friends, I'm OK with it.
 
As you can see from my avatar, back when I was young (23 in the picture) I had long hair. I really used to like it long, but then I got to nearly 30 and had to cut it when looking for a proper job. It's been short ever since, and now I'm bald on top anyway, so tend to keep the back and sides short as well.
