I'm a guy with hair down to his shoulders. I still have girls (and boys) telling me that I look like a girl. I love my long hair but what should I do? Is this a situation where its just their problem, and I should insult them back or should I do something

Just leave it. I know plenty of guys with long hair. The other people are just jealous. lol

In high school, my hair was halfway down my back when I was in a band. No one commented that I looked like a girl (maybe I was really ugly) but I would just ignore them. Enjoy it while you still can have long hair!

I'm going to guess that you're probably still in high school, right? Ignore them. High school kids will find ANY reason to make fun of another person, because they are all SO self-conscious of how they look. Putting down other people is a way to make yourself feel superior. Just don't let them see it get you down, or that will only fuel them for more teasing. And remember, people in the real world *usually* aren't as judgemental as high school kids!

As long as it is clean, neat, and you like it, simply look at those that remark, and say, "I like it." And if they try saying that it makes you look like a girl, ask them, "If long hair on a guy makes him look like a girl, does short hair on a girl make her look like a guy? If so, then you need to look beyond the hair."

you could try telling them it didn't change jesus into a girl. if it was good enough for him, it's good enough for you.

It's definitely their problem. However, if you allow it to bother you, then it becomes your problem as well. I wouldn't insult them back. What would be the point of that? I'm sure there are other people who probably like your long hair. Long hair has been around throughout the ages. Who decided that men should wear short hair anyway? I would wear it however you please and brush off negative comments.

I know a d00d who had long hair and many people thought he was female. He didn't care. Actually, that was what he wanted. That doesn't help, does it? Okay, I think it's just their problem and they are jerks if they are insulting you about it. Now, if you want to get them, just play along with them. Pretend to ask one of the guys on a date...IDK. I hope this...helps. Sorry, I can't give good advice when it comes to hair. You see, I'm a fox and I don't have what you call hair. It's what you call fur, and I don't worry about it so much, maybe because I don't see humans very often. I live in the forest trying to hide from the humans most of the time, and I don't get in touch with other foxes very often either. That's why I'm on AnswerBag. Sorry. Is this okay?

Here's a video. It has my face in it. I'm the guy who's In the Z shirt. (the guy who gets jumped over) By the way, do you think the videos funny?
-
It's that first impression thing. You have to be you, do you tell thing they need to grow long hair? If we all looked the same how boring would that be? Not to mention maybe UGLY!haha! Be you! Be Real! And Be Happy.
-
you look cool in that video and cute :).. its normal because you are still in your adolescent period for other people to say you look like a girl.. (though your playmate kinda look like a girl too..) don't mind them and show them its their problem not yours when you grew up a bit more and get matured :P (men who looks like a girl are cuter sometimes than normal guys ;))

I think no problem unless you let it bother you. In life we make choices, sometimes we choose to be our own person, different. I am 40 and have tattoos and a pierced nose. Some people look at me and say dumb things. Some wonder why, some think it's rediculous. Some ask when I'm going to get more ink. I choose not to let it bother me. My roommate has hair down to his ass, he is 45 and very much a man. He also chooses to not let others opinions bother him. Don't insult them back, ignore them. Or say thank you for noticing my hair. But DO NOT let their opinion get you down. it is your choice.
-
I think you should leave it then. I like guys with long hair.
-
I know guys that have long hair and get compliments all the time, but they're in minority. Unless you're 6ft and hunky, people are going to say that you look like a girl. I'm sure you're growing it for a reason, may be because YOU like it, it doesn't matter what others say or does it?
-
as long as you still love it, keep it. it's no one else's issue but yours. they don't like your hair, well it's not theirs, and thus their opinion really doesn't mean anything. it's yours and they shouldn't have anything to say about it if they have a problem with it. besides, a lot of girls drool over boys with long hair. *shrug* at least I do.
-
In our culture, it's been acceptable for guys to have long hair since the 1960's. I'd ask them where the've been the past 40 years that they don't know that.
-
Change the hair style a bit to look less girlish. Get some muscles -- girls love muscles. Don't wear tight pants -- makes you look gay -- as long hair does. Don't dress feminine or hang out with girls -- makes you look gay. Wear your hair long, but make the rest of the package look masculine and tough, else, you'll be branded as girlish/gay.

It is their problem. I have found this type of comment being made by people who envy your individuality. Ignore them if you can. If it still bothers you, try working on your clothing to change your image a bit. But don't cut your hair unless you want to. A lot of girls think long hair is darned sexy!
-
Its your life, your hair an YOUR choice. Do NOT cut that hair and give into them! Long hair on guys is relly sexy it shows confidence and that you are comfortable with yourself. YOU love it and thats all that matters! Rock on.
-
dude if you have long hair your gunna get called a girl a couple times. but me and my three freinds all have long hair and it rocks, the ladies love us and we all know when it comes to rockin out long hair is the best for the job.
-
Dogg you need to cut that shit. Period. Men shouldnt have hair that long, Period.
-
Who cares what anyone else thinks? You'll get far in life taking more care of what you (and you alone) think.
-
If you like your hair, you shou.ldn't change it just because someone wants to be a jerk and tell you that it's wrong or whatever to look that way. besides, does it really matter what they think of your hair. I mean, if they aren't your friends, tell them to screw off, and if they are, well, what kind of friend judges you for your hair? I say keep it,, since you love it, it would be a part of who you are, and changing yourself for others is like faking a part of yourself.
-
It's just their problem. It's your hair. Wear it how you want it. If your worried about what the chicks think just wait around. One that likes long hair will show up sooner or later and you'll both be happy.

Wear a skirt and get on with life

I went to high school in the late 60's/early 70's. Many of my friends had long hair, I never wanted to. Too much bother! But when my friends look at their old pictures, they always say something like, "Boy did I look silly!"
-
If a guy says you look like a girl, ask him if he fancies you. I've had it long and kept it that way, no matter what. Every insult made me feel stronger; it's their problem and I rather saw them choke in it, then cave in myself. I wanted to be attractive for my better half. After aIl, I shared my bed wit her, not with the public opinion.LOL
-
Wear your hair the way you like it. No need to "insult back." This is how 10 year olds act.
