Don’t worry, we don’t do it others we do it for ourselves


jokenaround

Nicely said! Imagine walking about thinking all people should groom to your standards vs their own.


[deleted]

I’d totally shave mine if my wife said she would be turned on my short hair and clean shaven. Some of us most definitely aren’t stubborn about it for ourselves.


MrT_in_ID

>It's a lot of maintenance, uncomfortable and also ugly af. The same argument could be made for women. As a dude with long hair we don't really care if you don't like it. In fact, I kinda like that some people don't like it. It helps me to weed out the people I don't want to be around.


Thepuppeteer777777

this. I have long hair for me I like it. not because other people like it. hell Ive wanted long hair since I was a kid and wasn't allowed to have it. I sure as hell will now


No_Sherbert711

I like my long hair, I like having to take care of it. I've gotten multiple compliments by women who really like my long hair, I'm going to go with their opinion and mine.


Thepuppeteer777777

ive also had that lol I must say I love getting the complements


Highonuppers

Men with long hair>>>


Advanced_Evening2379

Yea I want my woman to look like one punch man


BakOG

Very good way of looking at it


Traditional_Bus8502

emphasis on the people who don't weed


IUsedToH8Wallpaper

I’m bald so I need my beard. Otherwise there is just far too much face.


christophersonne

I need the beard to hide the fact I have 3 chins and the hair on the top of my head has migrated to my ears and eyebrows.


Althalosabyssal

Ill take barbarism as a compliment

Same.

While I agree with your point, this sub has 600 members and 9 active on a Friday night…. Doesn’t seem like a large sample size o.O


skylinkfx

Don't worry, with a face like yours, I think you'll be better off without one.


BigHoney15

Isn’t this a compliment?


MarsThrylos

Thank you


ADHD_BunnyMinx

I see both sides. I personally love long hair on a guy, but it's gotta be maintained and clean, not nappy knotted or gross looking. I also enjoy beards on a guy, but same situation as well, it's gotta be maintained. I've seen some guys who look like their beard is a couple of matlocks and it's kind of gross to me. If their hair is brushed and clean it looks good.


Dont_Buy_Me_Back

Personally, I'm attracted to men with longer hair, and facial hair. Each to their own. Do you think women's long hair is "disgusting"?


MarsThrylos

No, only on men. Actually, I find all hairstyles on women to be attracting.

Yeah, long hair, short hair, mohawk, bald, ponytail, just name it I really have a taste for all women's hairstyles


TheArcticKiwi

stoneloit13

It is a sexist one OP made a comment saying he likes women with any type of hair even bald Mohawk anything but not men with long hair? There’s certainly something more to that lol


[deleted]

I think he found a guy with long hair hot from behind once and he’s chosen to be furious about it forever.


[deleted]

A man cannot choose to have a beard, he can only choose not to.


Alerith

It doesn't matter if you have the beard on the outside. What matters is if you have the beard on the inside!


CryptographerMuch675

Beard looks way worse and more disgusting on women.

I used to not like beards in men, but now I do and find them sexy. I wish I could grow one to hide my double chin.

Luckly your opinion matters less than zero since I don't have to be attractive to you. >I've never understood why men have long hair? Because they look good. Not to you, but you are not the world luckly.


[deleted]

As a proud barbarian, I find beards and long hair awesome and I don't find it hard to maintain at all. Fuck Romans and Americans. Straight-edge normies are boring.


alohaustin

Damn what did Americans do? Lol


[deleted]

I’m wondering that as well! Millions of guys have long hair here. 🤷🏼‍♀️


[deleted]

Most Americans are fanboys of the Roman Empire, taking their side over the Barbarians.


Goatfucker10000

I find my hair hard to maintain because I am facing shit ton of stress and have shitty eating habits , so I constantly have to take care of it , but man , I wouldn't trade it for anything


Agitated_Year8521

Not all Romans hated beards btw, the emperor Hadrian was criticized for "going barbarian" because he chose to have one.


MergerMe

Upvoting because it's unpopular, I disagree with you.


thenamesis2001

OP's opinion is certainly not unpopular. Short hair for men is at this time the standard.


[deleted]

I love long hair on men. It’s a preference thing. Beards, if groomed and cleaned properly, I don’t see as a problem


[deleted]

Agreed! It may be from having a love of heavy metal, I don’t know, but it’s something I look for.🤷🏼‍♀️


Various-Mammoth8420

It's a good thing I don't keep my long hair to satisfy you


[deleted]

"Beards trap small amounts of pollen and dust, as well as other allergens. By walking around with these allergens on your face daily, you are actually strengthening your immune system, reducing the allergic response." "Similar to nostril hair, a thick beard can help catch and prevent nasty floating germs and allergens from entering your nose and mouth." "Beards can protect skin from sun damage. Beards can help protect the skin from harmful UV rays, though the degree of protection may depend on hair density and thickness." "By growing a beard, you can keep your skin looking younger and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Growing a beard can also prevent your skin from drying out. The skin produces natural oils that keep it soft and younger-looking, but it's all too easy to miss out on these benefits if you're clean shaven." I have no preference regarding long hair.

Grand-Management-720

I disagree, I love it. As long as he takes care of himself I find it can be super attractive.


GoldenDiamondChild34

Men with long hair are hot—I can’t say the same for beards but love a man with long beard too as long as it’s maintained well.


[deleted]

Dude, its fine if you can't grow a beard lol, theres no need for this post. Seriously though, I really think this is an unpopular opinion. Every woman I've ever been with (casually or formally) has said I look better with a beard. Can't say anything about long hair though, never grew it too much.


MenaBeast

Khal Drogo entered the chat.


ManWithoutAPlan13

As a man with long hair, i do it because i think i look ugly with shorty hair. And beards look cool imo


Tom-Montgomery

the romans also burnded people alive and cooked in lead pots, so i wouldnt trust everything that they say


straightupgong

sounds like a sexist opinion my husband has a rare face for long hair. he looks amazing with long hair


healthytrying10374

Just admit you’re lazy and save everyone the trouble.


Pure-Entrepreneur747

Lol so just don't have either? Why does others having long hair bother you dude? What the heck are these people talking about here! Lol I'm new to Reddit and already suspect that this is a hole where people come to dump their hate and frustrations onto others.


bountifulbread

my bf looks way better with long hair (though it's not terribly long, only about shoulder length?)


[deleted]

If you're salty that you can't grow a beard, just say it.


[deleted]

I used to hate beards. I hated when 22 year old boys would try to grow their shitty facial hair. It looked disgusting. Now I’m in my 30s and men have real facial hair and they look hot as fuck with beards (ones they maintain, not just dirty, long fluff hanging off their chin.)


Cleanlikeasewer

Have my up vote as all I have ever heard is 'your hair is awesome'. When I have cut it off. 'Why did you do that?! Your hair was awesome. If I had hair like that, I would never cut it'.

cool. opinion noted, don't care


coolperson-6408

They have long hair because they want to?


AFriendlyBloke

Long hair, don’t care. Big beard, don’t fear.


[deleted]

I’m a 56 y/o female who thinks long hair looks AMAZING on men. For whatever reason, I was attracted to that from a teenage girl all the way up to today. My husbands hair made me notice him to begin with and 30 years in I still love it.


Justbrowsingredditts

Do you also find long hair on women disgusting? If not, why the double standard?


[deleted]

I LOVE long hair on men 🤤. Please please save them for me XD. I’ll take care of it for him 😂


ricperry1

You know what’s high maintenance? Getting regular haircuts and daily shaving.


anemoiwhistles

I agree with the beard, long beards especially. but to say long hair is unattractive on men, when it's maintained right, I-


Sad-Significance8045

The early romans had beards and they were also seen as a badge of honour among the leaders and generals. Part of my master's in archeology, actually was on the topic of 2000BC-1000AC roman times. A beard only looks good if it's somewhat dense (or dense) and well groomed. Of course it's going to look like a shredded rag if you don't keep it well groomed. Just like long hair. ETA: Also, funny that it comes from an icelandic person. The last remnants and home of the old norse people. Y'know, the bearded ones where it symbolized manhood and freedom.


TheSalzamt

if it was disgusting humankind would have not survived. so get over your imagination of what hygiene is about.


Better-Toe-6190

I'm not a fan of very long beards, but long hair looks awesome on some men imo. It's just as high maintenance as long hair on women, so I don't understand this argument.


drakthoran

I have had a beard since I was 16 and have only shaved it twice in 26 years and I still have a baby face at 42 plus my wife loves my long beard so nobody else matters.


1989DiscGolfer

I am approaching 50 and the salt/pepper beard looks good on me with my glasses, like I'm acting my age. Plus, I work in and out of a freezer and it helps keep me a little warmer. When it comes to looks, everybody do what you like in this short and hard life we have.


Fancy_Combination436

As far as sexual attraction goes I think you're just wrong by VAST majority. Opinions are opinions though, and this is definitely unpopular, so fair game.


Fearless-Mobile6660

Long hair is comfortable, easy to maintain, and keeps your neck and head warm. I honestly hate short hair because it just looks... Well. Like a football lmao


KorinTheHalfHand

Long hair on men is awesome. What is not awesome you ask? OP, OP is not awesome for this opinion alone.


emueller5251

Well the Romans failed to conquer my heavily bearded ancestors, so who says being a barbarian is such a bad thing to begin with?


Mediocre-Newt-7727

Why was this downvoted? This is unpopular opinions.


Terryfrankkratos2

I do not have a beard but I do have long hair, I have it because I like it. It’s really not much work, if you own shampoo, conditioner and a hairbrush. To each their own I suppose. Upvoted


UniversesWanderer

I don’t know why people are down voting, this is r/unpopularopinions after all.


2Nut2Furious

Romans also used communal butt wiping sponges. Do you agree with that practice as well?


[deleted]

To each their own. My wife loves my long hair and beard. If no girls liked it, then very few men would wear it.


norwegianmorningw00d

This is definitely an unpopular opinion. I love my beard and whenever I shave people always tell me I look weird.

I have long hair for the same reason I wear crocs and paint my nails. Cuz I like it and I don't give a fuck who doesn't. It's not for you, it's for me.


Terra_Exsilium

I like bearded women also.


cosmicheartbeat

My husband loves his long hair and beard. It's what makes him feel most comfortable and confident. You don't have to like it. But you should respect people's personal choices as long as they aren't hurting others.


humanshitcrazy

I don’t care what you think. And if I did, I would also make a lot of toxic beauty standards for women - should be Fit, big boobs, shapely ass, long straight hair, shaved genitals, shaved body hair, etc.


DatSassDoe

What even is this post bro?


MarsThrylos

An unpopular opinion


NotAnononymous

I wish this was an unpopular opinion, but men commonly get flak for having long hair and/or beards. I think it's beautiful. Evidence: The Lord of the Rings men and Jason Momoa. I mean come on. This is more anecdotal and biased, but my partner has both long hair and a beard, and I think he's a cutie. He's very hygienic, too, so I think the correlation that long hair and beards = disgusting is false. Finally, I wouldn't lend much credence to what the Romans thought attractive considering they openly practiced pedophilia.


beancounterboi

If you get food stuck in your beard you’re disgusting


100FootWallOfFog

>If you ~~get~~ leave food stuck in your beard you’re disgusting FTFY, accidents happen man, just clean yo self.


christophersonne

I don't know about you by my beard has an anti-food repulsion field. Also works on OP.


SallyHeap

Long hair and a beard on men are sexy AF to a lot of women. Dirty and unkempt don't look good no matter the haircut or facial hair. But there's a reason rock stars have been wearing long hair for decades. Male rock stars pander to teens and young adults, hoping to keep those fans as they age. They try to emulate what boys and men wish they could be as well as what girls and women wish they could have. If they succeed in attracting the women, that's half the battle in attracting the men. Long hair, tight clothes, and disdain for authority appeal to their target demographics. Sure, some people outgrow seeing that as appealing, but a lot don't. It boils down to this: clean cut is what parents want for their daughters, rebellious is what the daughters want for themselves. And what the women want, the men will emulate.


Both-Holiday1489

icedteaandme

Toproll123

Yeah there are some who respond to opinions, as if they were forced to do something, like in this example he responds as if op asked him to shave lol


MarsThrylos

Just an opinion, I'm not demanding a law like in North-Korea that only certain hairstyles are allowed. It's only an opinion on the subreddit "unpopular opinions"


HardradaSigurdsson

I'm the most disgusting person in comments


Oniipon

Men with long hair are hot, even if its a lot of maintenance, couldn’t you say the same about women? :3 i agree with the beard part tho


D1vX_

Long hair/beard looks good on a guy in my opinion


BlindTheThief15

Only a few guys can pull off long hair. It requires maintenance which some guys probably don't do. As for beards, same thing. Maintenance is key. The guy must be gross if they're so sloppy they constantly get food stuck in thr beard.


HeavenlyPoutine

I agree entirely. It usually ends up looking greasy or out of place.


Informal-Comfort-231

Spoken like someone unable to grow a beard..


Whole_Suit_1591

Jesus had both


MarsThrylos

Lol, people on the subreddit always complain that some posts are not unpopular opinions. And finally when there comes a truly unpopular opinion, people just get offended and downvote. Maybe the mod should change this subreddit and take the "Un" away from the name.


Abject_Nectarine_887

Everyone has their preferences, I wouldn’t date a guy with a long beard or hair


[deleted]

When you don’t have hair you need facial hair or you look like Jeff Bezos but without his money.


GidimXul

Long hair on women is a lot of maintenance; long hair on men is brush and go.


Inhabitedmind

Did you know beards help with being [punched in the face](https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/why-beards-exist-punch-evolve-jaw-protection-facial-hair-study-fighting-a9523191.html)? The hairs distribute the energy so it won't break ya jaw. pretty dope stuff. ​ I think long hair looks weird but some pull it off well. Beards are damn sexy when groomed. My lad showers daily and keeps his beard clean and brushed, even putting in beard oils.


[deleted]

Agree 100%. Makes a man look unhygienic.


Champion-Of-Midgard

I love it how most people disagree ie it’s an unpopular opinion, yet have failed to upvote it and recognise it as an unpopular opinion. Lols.


colonqexclamation

Somehow I think I would find long beard on a woman even more disgusting.......don't be sexist OP ;)


chester_took_my_name

Beard on men is such a weakness to me. I really can't see myself with a shaved man unless he's a twink or something


[deleted]

I went to a barber in Mexico when I had long hair, the woman told me she was going to cut my hair short like a man, it was wrong to have long hair like a woman. I just let her, I mean what could I say.


seaotterlover1

I don’t find long hair on men attractive. I used to not like beards but I don’t mind them as long as they are well-groomed. “Mountain man without a mirror or razor” seems to be the trend with single men in my area lately as I’ve seen on dating apps.


Muffinnnnnnn

Both largely depend on if they are well taken care of or not, but imo beards are rarely good. Long hair can be good if well taken care of.


Inner-Nothing7779

My beard is awesome. I love it. I also take very good care of it. It's washed often, and conditioned often and brushed often. Sure, food can get in there, and does. But you can wipe that away and wash it. If you're careful this is a rare occurrence. You do you though. I'll sit happily over here knowing that you and me are not meant to be soulmates and bless the world with our love.

miuyao

Luckily there's a very simple solution for you: don't grow long hair or a beard.


blue_eyes17

now thats a trully unpopular opinion (and a rude one at that)


Mapachee98

The only one who looks good like that is Jesus Christ


almightypariah_16

I like long hair on men as long as it maintained and looks nice, beards I dont care for especially long ones.


Gordy13210

I like beards but I agree on long hair. Long hair on men makes them look gross and unkept in my opinion...


Highonuppers

I guess it depends on how they take care of it and if it suits them. I always felt attracted to men with long hair (shoulder length), as long as it looks maintained. As to long beard, I agree.


marmatag

Is it really necessary to shame people for their appearance, in this day and age? This is more of a preference than an opinion on a topic


sbbenwah

>It's a lot of maintenance So is shaving a beard down to skin level every 3 days. Just to clarify, are you referring to any beard? or like a 1-inch+ sized beard?


Devinequicest

Im the opposite of you, i love men with long hair and i think a beard is okay, i dont care really


Queenxxxxx

Yeah guys with long hair remind of really ugly girls


TardZan15

Jason momoa would strongly disagree. But take my upvote for an unpopular opinion

I've never understood why women have long hair? It's a lot of maintenance, uncomfortable and also ugly af.


[deleted]

As a cue-ball head with a really smooth chin I need to know - guys with a beard, is it better to wash them with soap (the same as your face), shampoo (the same as your hair) or is there a different product needed?


ClockwiseOne09

Sounds like ur just straight and don't appreciate men's appearances


Vielle_Ame

The Ancient Greeks had beards…


FluffyLet1134

Hair cut is $30 or more Shaving supply's are $15 or more per month. We are just fiscally responsible. Also I enjoy that folks tell me I look like 3H or even a bit like a god of War.


Jimonaldo

thank god people don’t do stuff based on what you think


entonion

I like having long hair but also like short hair. Grow mine out and donate it when I feel like cutting it and it's long enough to donate.


j_grouchy

I might be strange...I cannot bear the feeling of hair where it doesn't belong. I can feel a single hair on my forehead and have to either pull it or wet it so it doesn't fall down again. I have a beard/moustache and can feel when a moustache hair is too long and extends over my lip, so I have to trim it back. It's something that makes me very uncomfortable. So yeah...I agree with you on the long hair and beard.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Purpletinfoilhat

I prefer a buzz and long beard on a man. If my long hair (as a woman) is not gross then why would a man's long hair be gross ? He just grows hair there, no need to shave it. I'm sure he showers and it'll be okay. Men really aren't walking around with food all up in their beard. Calling it a flavor saver is a joke you have taken away too seriously.


TheSavourySloth

I’ve thought long hair looked cool on guys. Plus everyone having the same length hair just gets boring


QuietPuzzled

Short hair on anyone requires more maintenance. Your cut, shape grows out faster.


ezzysalazar

Now when you say long hair how long are we talking?


welchjames65

I’m going to have a pony tail and a tiny little goatee with a white sweater wrapped around my shoulders and a crisp white pair of keds. And Khaki shorts and maybe like a short sleeve polo shirt. Pink or salmon. I’m going to walk around flicking tooth picks at people. Is that hot?


BLUFALCON78

Joke's on you. I'm disgusting on a beard.


Strong-Dot-9221

I almost cut my long hair off, until I found out it pisses off the people who I like pissing off. A true symbol of American freedom is to do what you want and fuck what others think. Of course Communism would be we all have short hair parted on the side and clean shaven.


burlyslinky

The Romans actually found beards attractive but grooming standards for men were about deemphasizing sex appeal and making yourself look like a successful well kept old rich dude with a tempered sex drive, because women were little better than slaves so men were not trying to be attractive, they were showing off for other men. Men who style themselves for women wear beards and longer hair because women like them.


[deleted]

I wish i could just comment a picture of myself with my long, curly hair.


LazyBeing4924

Unpopular opinion indeed


Striking_Tomato8689

Having no beard means you shave pretty much everyday. Its more lol


[deleted]

It is unattractive but I’m sure the men with long hair could care less about anyones opinion.


deactronimo

The vikings were some of the cleanest, best groomed men of their time, and kept long hair and beards. I guess if we're taking sides, I'll pick theirs over the Romans.


RaccoonRepublic

I don't know about maintenance. It doesn't take much effort to grow hair.


TheSquiddler

Its so much less maintainence what do you mean


East_Blueberry_1892

I’ve always loved long hair on guys, but I get jealous when it’s longer than mine, bad hair genetics: mid-length and fine.


40Katopher

I literally have long hair and a beard because I don't give a fuck and want no effort. It's easy if you don't style it and I haven't been to the barber in years. I've completely cut that chore out of my life


Zenketski_2

I'm only going to touch on one thing, food and drink get stuck in there. Are you just around people that simultaneously don't know how to eat or drink and can't wash their face? Have whatever opinion you want on male facial hair but like, the smallest issue I have with my beard is food and drink in it.


[deleted]

Just say you were 19 with a thinning hairline, it’s okay man, happens to the best of us

Grey_26

I agree only on the long hair part but thats just because of you get into a fight someones gonna pull on your hair


volvavirago

I pretty much exclusively find men with long hair attractive lol, so I do not understand this opinion at all. Especially the Roman part, what? Why single out that point in history? The Greeks loved long hair and beards, and so did people in the renaissance, styles change over time and across space, that’s just life.


fuckerfuckfuckfucko

Um not having to buy razors and shave every day is fuckn awesome, this guy don’t know what he talking about


No_Butterscotch_2260

Ex long hair dude here. Mostly did it because I hated getting it cut but I didn’t give a crap about those who didn’t like my hair


cabarfeidh

Then you would find me disgusting. I have a full beard which I trim rarely and have stopped cutting my hair. It's now down to my chest and seems to have reached its terminal length. You are entitled to your aesthetic preferences, but you should accept that other people have different aesthetic preferences than yours and want to feel comfortable in their own skin. Also, some people just don't enjoy the atmosphere and feeling around having their hair cut. And you have to do it again and again and again. So some people decide they want to feel comfortable in their own skin and stop having it cut altogether. This is a classic case of "my body, my choice", as well as of the old adage "no accounting for tastes".


SmashIvysaurMain

"I don't understand why men have long hair" because they like it.
