Long-hair or short-haired men?

Now in my 30s as a male, I've started researching more into men's hair and found a hair discussion group on Facebook. Seems everyone in this group advocates growing out your hair. I guess it has me reflecting a little bit given that I always thought short hair or, at most, medium length hair was more of a social norm. I'm not saying long-hair would make you a black sheep, but it just wasn't the norm. Now I'm thinking back to cavemen days or any early centuries perhaps like you'd see in Game of Thrones and how longer hair was more common.

What's really more normal for male humans? Obviously, scissors and professional stylists developed over time, but were men actually meant to have longer hair? Is short hair mostly a modern trick that became more popular due to the workforce and media?

    If you live your life dependent on the likes or approval of others you will never obtain happiness.

    My bf has long hair. Probably over a foot or so. I find it attractive but since he’s never managed having hair before it’s fucking everywhere and drives me crazy. He also doesn’t watch any anime. Lol

    Long hair unless he cant keep it nice looking or has really stringy hair. If so short with longish bangs. Most short haircuts are so ugly nowadays.

    If you have long hair I'm going to assume that you're a metalhead.

    i have always had long hair as far as i can recall.. but 1 time in my life for like a year for it to grow out.. and that 1 time was for a job. i was a rocker grew up in L.A. calif. so i was into the hair band era.and metal rock.. and a biker. so its always been long hair for me. and the girls always seem to love it.. i keep it at about mid back. just my thing. i think short hair is main stream for most jobs. and it becomes not a option. and have to say i had to go find out who is anime !!!! seen some pics.. anime with long hair is hot.. LMMFAO

    Tom Holland style hair which is still short but not super short that's the best type

    Us ladies love this hair type almost all my friends have referenced his hair style as ideal. Worst is no hair on a guy though or short buzzed hard pass no offense

    Better do what the hair discussion group on Facebook says.

    It depends on the guy. Some ppl look better with long hair and some shorter.

    It probably depends on the location, but there's a pretty decent mix of both here in the US, though I'd say short is considered more traditional and conventional. Still, I think everyone should wear their hair the way they see fit.

    I personally think both can look good if taken care of.

    I generally like men the most who have short hair and a nice beard

    I hate how adult men always cut their hair short to show their foreheads or make the hair go "up" instead of down. That being said I'm not a fan of long hair like, under the chin long. I like it when a guy has a fringe. Or what Americans call bangs. But it's rare to find grown men with fringes, hence why I don't find any of them attractive.

      What if the guy styles his hair "up" so it looks like a tornado?

        Nope, I only like real tornadoes, not men pretending to be tornadoes. It doesn't work if it's a human pretending.

          ...what if it was a tornado pretending to be a man?

            that would be ok. Although I'm just not into men (and no I'm also not a lesbian either)

    Short hair. Easier to manage, less likely to accumulate sweat and make my helmet slip off.

    Trade offs. If it gets cold just put on a damn hat.

      I don't know if you consider a single viewing of My Neighbor Totoro "too much anime", but....
