A question for the ladies

[Sigdel]

You know this whole thing makes me want to find you in the store I assume you work at since I am so close and see how long your hair is...

Do what you want. If you are honestly that bored. Just so you know which long haired freak I am I will give you my name.

I am the slightly shady lord Christ! Risen from his watery grave to reap twinky vengeance on those who are to weak to chose sides in the great battle of boxers and briefs, and to make the world safer for all badger kind.

That's what everyone calls me. It's the short version. and it's fun answering the phone like "Thank you for calling My Store, where life's a party and I am dead inside! This is the slightly shady lord Christ! Risen from his watery grave to reap twinky vengeance on those who are to weak to chose sides in the great battle of boxers and briefs, and to make the world safer for all badger kind, how may I help you?"

Ha Haaaaa! Good times!

Could we get a picture of the 11 inch glow in the dark personal massager instead?

Personal massager? Is that what they're calling them these days?

I really don't understand the question. You have no interest in this girl. Who cares what she thinks about your hair? You just want to know if her tastes are prevalent? Well, sure they are. There are lots of girls who like long-haired guys too, so it's no big loss either way, IMO. Or are you just asking how to get her to shut up?

If you really want to mess with her head, tell her you might consider cutting your hair after she sleeps with you. Completely casual; she's got a boyfriend, you've got employee rules, etc., but that's what it'll take.

Her opinion of my looks doesnt concerne me. It's her attempts to change my appearance to something she likes that concerne me. It's not the statement, it's the motive behind it. As for why I ask even after I have the answer, I like getting the input from other people. So far I only have two views; mine and hers. But it's that third view that I want. The outside view. It's not like I asked this question because it's a state issue, just idle wondering.

I think we need pictures.

Ok, so I put this post up on two websites and I have been paying close attention to both of them. On the other website the first thing I noticed is that the people there did not focus on the girl I work with. Somebody here asked why did I even mention her. Well, when I talk to people I am used to explaining the motives behind my questions. I figured that someone would eventually ask me why I am asking. So I decided to cut out the middle man. The second thing I noticed is that the replies were strait forward. People saying I should cut it, others saying that I be who I want to be, and a near unanimous cry that highlights are for metro's and gays. But the last reply came from someone who was catching on to the overall context of the question and she wrote:

"Sigdel, every guy with short hair would be waist deep in chicks if this were true! It's not a guys hair that makes the attraction to us. It's the personality and character of the person that wears the hair that makes all of the difference! Just be yourself and remember that healthy people are attracted to others that are on the same intellectual and emotional level as they. The packaging is optional.

'Kat"

Funny, I have nothing better to add.

it's not like that hasn't been said more than once in this thread, one way or another...

I was just about to mention that. I guess some folks don't like looking past the sarcasm.

What is this "sarcasm" that you speak of?

If that were true then every guy would have no trouble finding girls that are attracted to him.

"The packaging is optional," indeed. I don't think that's true at all. Without a good package, nobody ever finds out what's inside the package in the first place. "Kat" just gave you a platitude that a lot of girls say all the time, but very few actually mean.

In the long run the personality and character of the guy may be the most important thing, but for most potential guys, the girl never gets to the point where she knows anything about the personality and character. The more superficial cues are all she has for first impressions.

i think that what she meant was not that the external is irrelevant, but more like "whatever your appearance is (within reason), there will be someone out there who would like you for/despite it."

Could be. And I won't argue with that; even the most hideous man alive can find himself happily married to someone, IMO. Although he has to work a lot harder to get there than someone who obviously cares about his appearance.

But I dislike it when folks will try to tell me that appearance literally doesn't matter at all; I don't believe that. There's a lot of really nice guys who don't get dates very often.

Of course, maybe by personality, she meant confidence and willingness to put yourself out there and ask for a date--that matters a lot too, and lots of guys, especially geeky ones, tend to struggle in that regard.
