Ask Style Girlfriend Guy's Guide to Facial Hair: https://youtu.be/OKdxFw5sja0

Yeah you guys, I got murder by my lips, you're good, hey guys. It is Meghan Collins from ask style girlfriend. No, it's not I'm from style girlfriend. This is a style girlfriend. I'M gon na get this right. One of these days today we are answering a question about grooming. A reader wants to know what do women really think about guys, long, hair, and so the answer, my answer at least is. I generally think that long hair can, on a guy, can sort of best be viewed by seeing him after he gets a cut, because you generally look at pictures, whether it's like way in the past or like pretty recently and you're like. Oh, we look so much more like a grown man when his hair is shorter um. I think this can best be exemplified there was this amazing amazing meme that was going around where it was putting man buns on like world leaders, so it was like Obama with a man bun like Putin, with a man, bun um and they're hilarious, but they also Kind of go to show like it is a little tough to take a guy seriously with long hair and obviously a man. Bun is sort of the extent of what we're gon na be talking about when we're gon na be talking about long hair, but even just kind of hair to hear or like a Justin, Bieber swoop kind of you know situation. It might look good in the moment, but generally whenever a guy then cuts his hair and you know, does sort of a high-end tight or just you know, does something really close and close cropped. You just you generally look at the other pictures and you're like oh yeah. He looks so much better now, so I guess it's almost a good thing right, because then, if you think well, I look great with long hair. Really you up to things like that. I would probably look and better with short hair, I will say the only exception to this rule. I think ever every lady would back me up. Is a Taylor Kitsch Riggins from Friday Night Lights like. I would elect him president with long hair, so I think he's gon na be the only only outlier in this, but otherwise women don't not like your long hair, but I think that you'll just end up being taking a bit more seriously. You'Ll, probably look more handsome. More grown-up, in the clothes that you wear if your hairstyle is more of a actual hairstyle and not sort of a free-flowing other one that they hippie-dippie. But if it's, if it's a seems to be more well-groomed if it seems to be more maintained so bottom line. I am NOT you know what is it Delilah to your Samson with Delilah the cutoff there I don't know it's been a while, since I've been in making sure Bible school, um I'll ask my niece, but I'm not here to cut off your hair. If you have long luscious locks, hey, Who am I to stop you, but I will say I think it looks more professional. I think it men generally, their features are shown off better and you're, able to also kind of see more through to the person you are. If you're not, you know hidden behind a big ol, wala hair, so do what you want but check out Obama with a man bun, and then you tell me what's why this is been a style girlfriend leave us. Your comments. Ask us your questions. We'Ll get back to them as soon as we can. I'M Megan Collins a style girlfriend thanks. So much for joining we'll see you again soon. I wait house

Style Girlfriend: Always appreciate comments that are thoughtful and considered. Totally fine if you don't agree with the views expressed in this video, but no need to resort to name calling. Thanks all!

Angel of Rock: *Don't take what she says seriously, long haired dudes... if you want long hair or want to keep your long hair, HAVE LONG HAIR, don't change you or your hair for any woman... keep rocking it guys*

Not Mii, Uus: if you can't take a guy seriously because he has long hair, you need to grow up tbh

Jerry Morgan JR: I can't take women serious that wear that much makeup.

Claude Akel: Long hair and beards forever

dude conta deis: Short hair is more professional but it's boring. 99% of guys have short hair. I like to be different. Instead of working for a corporation and let them tell me what to wear and what hairstyle to have, instead i own my own business and dress however i want and i'm currently growing my hair. It's about shoulder length. I'm aware women prefer short hair but i've been getting more attention from women now that i have long hair. So go figure.....

radodrill: I have been growing my hair out and it is now about collarbone length. I can honestly say that I get way more compliments on my look (particularly from women) with long hair than I did with short hair. I typically have it down, but also wear it in a low or high ponytail. All the people I've talked to about it say it looks good on me. I believe that it's not the length of the hair that matters, but rather the how it's kept/styled. It's just that since most men have short hair, those with long hair get more attention (negative if the hair is dirty/messy). I saw a video where women were asked if they preferred men with long hair or short hair then why. One long haired women said she preferred men with short hair because long hair is dirty/greasy; not realizing tat by that logic her hair is dirty/messy.

Jayson Witting: Thank god this has a lot of dislikes

Andrea Šebelová: Men, do not take this chick seriously. Long hair are the sexiest thing no matter what.

floyd fletcher: My girlfriend shaved all my long hair off. Then she dumped me for a guy with long hair.

Mickey Guide: " a guy looks more like a grown man with shorter hair" lol what a stereotype ...so men before the early 1900 all the way through history weren't "grown men" cause pretty much all of them had longer hair (plus beard) jeez... It's what is between your ears that makes a man silly girl lol

Tiki Badfish: In my culture long hair shows patience.

Henry Minata: I appreciate your view, Megan, even though sound very much conservative for today's taste. As in my case all the girls that I know adore my beautiful long hair and beg for me to NEVER cut it short. So I guess I have to listen to my girls then.

🔴Akashi🔴: To all men:NEVER CHANGE YOUR PERSONALITY AND YOUR APPEARANCE FOR A WOMAN!!!!!

Micah White: Syle Girlfriend, I take you less seriously with long hair.

nqkoi: Perfect , I'm a metalhead and I attract other metalhead girls ,I wouldn't rly want to attract you to be honest, most girls just think everyone likes them ,No its just that if we judge anything we are gonna be sexist while you are allowed to judge

awreckingball: She seems like a cold human being.

E C: I used to have long hair and I got a haircut for some reason (that I still don't know why I did it)... But I'm growing it back again and I belive that women like long viking/warrior hair on men..., BUT not all men look good and masculine with long hair, so its a matter of if it suites the man or not. I looked fucking badass when I had longhair so... yeah, if you look feminine with long hair, mainstream women won't find it attractive. Anyhow just be yourself and let it grow just like I am.

Dan Tan: Hey Megan, heard your views. I'm a slim guy who doesn't really care how the world thinks of me. Masculinity don't mean shit to me - I personally love my petite size more than muscles. I once kept my hair long, and tied it in a man bun (or bun as you would have it, minus the 'man'). I do agree with you on the professional bit - men look more professional in long hair especially in corporate jobs and heads of states and whichever posts that require a professional countenance. However, there's the ART side to life, and this I heartily embrace while giving up the NEED to look society's professional. I find that long hair suits me better because (refer to Rhys Dennis's explanation), I look more 'organic' and natural being who I am in long hair. Who cares what society says of men with long hair? I will not go so far as to label you shallow as some other commenters have done. However, let it be noted that it takes certain galls for a man to leave his hair long - unlike women who are deemed normal, guys have that extraterrestrial label of "hippie" and "weirdo" or "nerd" slapped on them for having metal/luscious locks. I respect guys who have long hair because they have the guts to be themselves, and trust me, girls I've met have expressed likewise - they like guys to be who they are. Or maybe the women I've met and the women you've hung out with are totally different cliques. My type of women believe in being organic, natural, that no makeup and tousled looks out of bed is sexier than makeup and shit. No facade, Ms. Collins. Live well and be yourself. That's my motto in life. Cheers, D

jolteon43: My long hair is amazing. If you can't take us seriously that's your problem. In my opinion it shows assertiveness, patience and commitment.

Nicholas Klecan: I do appreciate the advice, thank you. What do I know, random tri state dude, but personally mid 30s, all over nyc which usually harbors very picky women, it seems that since my hair has grown long enough to loosely long lochs style it......my random convo, meets and dates has steeply inclined. Possibly more just from my confidence level. Men...run your deal and rock it confidently. Women now a days are privy and seen the same ole game far enough. Confident individuality, different, interesting.

Cal_Benz: what women really think!? this is more like your point of view if you ask me lol i haven't met a single girl who has given this type of answer base on long hair jajaja

Vegito //: I have lower pec length hair and I love it. A lot of people tell me to cut it but I ignore them. Why conform? Why be like everyone else? The men with long hair are the out casts; the anti-hero’s. The people who are either to lazy to get it cut or not willing to be like the rest.

JOSHUA JERRY: women love guys with long hair

Ran: long hair don't care.

Who_Lee_On: Well its a good thing I don't care much what people think

taba247: I'm in my late 30's and have had long hair since high school(still have my hair line thank god). I can't go 48 hours with out a woman giving me a compliment. Every GF I have had made me promise not to cut it when we started dating. FYI, women seem to like it better now that I have a little gray in the sides(they make me promise not to dye it).

Jolly Roger: Right. Let me stick my two cents in...Firstly, Tarzan looks incredible with long hair, so do I. Secondly, women plastered in 'rape face paint' (make up) should really think about their own insecurities - if you can't leave the house without rape face paint then you have HUGE issues. Finally, rape face paint is a serious issue. Most girls think it's OK to put on a face that's not theirs to shag sone poor guy - but the trauma it causes when he sees your real face should be a punishable crime.

LiterallyJess: Long hair (IMO) is THE BESTT! It makes a man feel elegant and majestic. I personally don’t think it makes them any less manly then other men. If anything I see it as even more manly, long hair requires patience and attention. Also, I kinda want to style his hair. Like with crazy styles, that would be really fun.

Joseph: I think the problem here is equating men with long hair to always having a manbun. The closest thing I came to a manbun was a low half-ponytail which is more a historic cultural style. There are also men that just grow and don't take proper care of it (as we aren't taught how to) and that gets them bad looks

Manuel Toloza: Yeah well too bad for me then, i'd definitely would never cut it just to get the ladies.

Steve Olp: These videos are great! Keep up the good work Megan and crew!

Surgé Land: For every guy in the world, there is a girl who will love you for you. Long hair, short hair, Do it for you, not for a girl.

Mountainpeak Cloud: Thanks for the style advice, mom.

D. L.: Way over-generalized and shallow. Confidence makes any style look good. And besides, every girl I've been with would totally disagree with you.

Aisha: LONG HAIR ON MEN IS SEXY AF- ESPECIALLY WITH A BEARD!

For The Not So Spiritual: All men watching this video... REMINDER: WOMEN DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY WANT. So just do what you want with your hair and if you decide with long hair you'll 99.9% get more attention from women. But just make sure you're growing it for yourself and not for any woman.

Dzenk Ejup: Tell me you’re portraying patriarchal tendencies as a victim, without telling me that you’re portraying patriarchal tendencies as a victim.

Zach Adair: Growing my hair out cause I looked terrible and hated myself with short hair. I don’t do it for women lol

Andrew Koa Stephens: The most important thing here is to rock what *you* think is attractive. Confidence it scientifically proven to be the most attractive feature a human can have. If you cut off your hair in order to be more generally attractive to a potential partner, you will only attract women with average style. If you enjoy the average look that’s great. If you get bored by basic average that’s not great. Standard short cuts will also make you less attractive to potential partners that do not like standard boring style. If you’re hoping to meet a woman who finds a caveman attractive, dress and groom like a cave man. If you’re hoping to meet someone who likes the average current style, dress and groom in the average current style. Just do what makes you look in the mirror and say “You look good, Handsome. Today will be a good day.” You will get way more attention from the ones you find attractive that way.

Watulukinahuh: No way!... Guys that can pull off long hair are pretty good looking.. Professionalism is a manner of how clean they make it look. Long hair on a man shows his comfortability and are more artistic within themselves. More secure in individuality and grounded in deciding to go outside the norm. They are content.. Same with girls able to go from long to pixy or even pull off a shaved head, while staying grounded with their sexuality.. underlining confidents burns expression of what they are.. *of course in context of my own opinion.. Its simply creative..

Tim, was Chad Broski: I agree with the man bun, but long hair is so much more. man buns look stupid for 99% of people, but long hair looks really good for many men

James Hixson: I have a mid-neck length bob with bangs. The ends curl under. I also keep it clean and trimmed.

Elyas Yousef M Alsulaiman: I don't understand the dislikes...your video was honest and respectful....I enjoyed it Megan

Joe Seibert: This is the most misguided skewed opinion I've ever heard...

Mr Common Sense: Dudes its simple, don't give a dam what anyone thinks. You just work at being you, true to yourself and just what you like. You will then attract a woman who is into "you" not some fake bullshit you have convinced yourself is appealing.

Juan M: You know, you can call this girl shallow but... lets face it, us men do the same. In the end, i honestly believe people don't give a shit.

Daniel de Lima Zacarias: Long hair, slim well-builted body with a good looking six pack, a proper face which combines with long hair is the ideal.

bobby d: The amount of attention you get from women is insane . If you have long hair, women are going to approach you one on one or where the 2 girls approach you with the question " you see my friend sitting back there ? " she likes you and wants to meet you". . It is definately a trip worth taking if you can .just be prepared.

panini800: Yeah I’m an ICU nurse with a masters degree now working on the battlegrounds fighting covid-19 and yes I have long hair that I maintain. Are you saying you wouldn’t take me seriously? I don’t look professional? What a laughable comment and attitude. I don’t take you seriously either. Stay safe ✌️

Box St8: I feel like you didn't take this question seriously, your examples were memes, like come on.

Bambostarla: That would be your opinion. I have long hair and I look really good. I look like a frickin lesbian with short hair. I dont like wearing buns because I hate the look on me. I just let my curls run freely and very rarely straighten it or put it in braids. Matters to the person. I respect your opinion though.

King Harlaus: Im honestly having long hair because I just can’t identify with short hair, I look like a small boy with short hair, and friends always laughed at me, now I have long hair over the shoulders, and no one laughs anymore, and I’m honestly more confident and can identify myself much more with my look.

For U: Long hair men will never bend for anything..!!

Leo Carter: I think you would look good with short hair maybe I could take you more seriously that way!

Heel toe Lifestyle IG: Pretty ironic a girl saying it's better for a guy to have short hair so you can actually see who they are. Considering girls have long hair and wear makeup everyday

Arpit K. Bhardwaj: Manes are for lions , sheeps dont have em...always long hairs and beard

Sam Share: OK, I appreciate your opinion...but let me ask you...What about BALD men? Which would you prefer? Guys with long hair or guys who are bald? That is a serious thought invoking question and will truly bring out whether you LIKE HAIR OR NOT. Next question...what about beards? I am pretty much bald. Sure I can wear a wig or a toupee to cover it up, but I choose not to. I have a decent beard. I am so "salt and pepper" (that is to say that I have some white hairs along with my normal black hairs). SO, think about it, this is much more complicated that you made it out to be, imho. What turns a girl on? IT IS ATTITUDE and the way the man carries himself, regardless of whether he has long hair or a beard or whatever. I know and you know this to be true. You wouldn't discount a man just for long hair...you want to know his personality and his attitude and his love and commitment to you. Men with long hair are usually MORE committed to long term relationship...think about that too.

Tim Brown: What you are calling long hair isn't even long hair. My hair is 48" long.

Seven Ellen: So disappointed. I thought I was going to come here and hear "A lot of women actually DO like men with long hair, it's not about what ALL women think or 'really' think (as supposed to what? What they say?? Such a confused and confusing question). The truth is is that it's purely subjective and down to individual preference. Cultural rules, fashions, traditions can and do have negative effects on men with long hair and lean more towards either discriminating against them, labelling them as rock stars, hippies or rebels without causes, OR, on the positive side, they can be seen as seriously cool, attractive, doing his own thing, and growing his hair long for HIMSELF. Not for women, not to protest against society, but for himself.

tiger2hunt4me: check out obama with manbun... sure... but then you should also check out Jason Momoa with long hair or to take it to the other look John Travolta in the pulp fiction look for example. you cant just call it immature. some people simply look their best with long hair.

speakthetruth: women is the plural form of woman, this is just your personal opinion. Do you even English?

Mynor J: Well shit I'm 28 and I look like 18 with short hair, with longer hair I look a bit closer to my age

Mark Lugo: I am Native American and a rock/metal musician. I can understand why a lot of women wouldn't like men with long hair as there is a cultural preference to shorter hair and a lot of guys with long hair tend not to care for their hair in terms of grooming and keeping looking clean and nice. I take initiative to keep my hair clean and and make myself look as professional as i can (Not just in hair but in clothing as well). Thankfully, i have fine straight hair that is super easy to manage, so it practically takes me like less than 2 minutes daily to take care of my hair.

Mountainpeak Cloud: Seems like conventional women like you tend to skew towards conventional men with conventional haircuts (short hair), because it represents ingrained signifiers and stereotypes of what “men” look like. Short hair a signifier of safety, maturity, togetherness etc... and it seems the women who are more attracted to men with short hair tend to also be more conventional in their tastes (music, fashion...) and generally follow mainstream trends. I’ve found the women who like men with long hair tend to be more unconventional in their tastes and are more open minded when it comes to other aspects of their lives. This is somewhat of a generalization, but ive found it to be largely true.

Nerdlinger: "you're able to see more through to the person you are" if you don't have long hair??? What the hell does this pseudo- intellectualism even mean? This woman has long hair... so using her logic, we can't see the person that she really is.

Beck Murray: Double standards in this video are astounding. Imagine if a fella made a video saying he can’t take women with short hair seriously?? get a grip man

Steven Caldwell: Can you do a video on women who have receding hairlines like you?

🥓Doctor Anarchy🥓: There's a reason why this video has more dislikes.

BenavidesJorge: Girls compliment me for my long hair !! ;) sooo yah..!

Ron Dale: I used to have a buzzcut but now I'm growing it down to my shoulders. It's straight and brown. I think short hair is so boring now. In ancient times short hair meant you were a slave. The nobles all had long hair.

TheHerbalHealer: Wow, that was the most close minded thing i've seen lately lol.

Solomon Frank: there is a difference between a guy with long hair and a guy that likes wearing a man bun

Jumbo: ''Hiding behind a wall of hair'' well women wear makeup so there's that...

David T: Dunno why any man with options would want women to take him any more seriously than they already do.

mr c: If you have hair like orlando bloom with the facial hair, you'll be pretty set my friend lol

Benedict Jude Govender: Yes it was Delilah who cut off Samson's hair

Mohi Arman: long hair men = badass

LoneWolf: That's 3:42 minutes of my life I'm not gonna get back...

Florida Man: Asking a subjective question to a shallow materialist had an answer before she opened her mouth

dark vader: 1:02 You look a grown man with short hair This is a jocke right

Insomnia4321: You are the childish one if you think long hair makes a guy not mature

Valencia Winn: Long hair men can't be taken serious? Really? Vikings, Samurais, even the founding leaders of America wore wigs sporting a long hair style. I mean. This short hair thing is rather new. But I guess none of those men were serious men. I'm inclined to believe that you're jealous. Because the truth is, there are men out there who have gorgeous long hair that looks better than yours. Who are you to tell them they can't be taken serious with longer hair, therefore they should cut it off. You're entitled to your own opinion, but you reasoning behind it doesn't make sense. You can't judge a person off the length of their hair to determine if they can be taken serious or not. It sounds, & is, quite stupid & ignorant. I can't take you seriously.

Tom Seamus: Go for medium hair with mid skin fade and a beard is the only way to go

Joshua D. Flores: Imagine world leaders with clown makeup lol jk. I will say long hair was normal for men until Alexander the Great I believe. I think a legitimate case to be made is whether you can attract your best mate with long hair? I also think attracting mates should be a lot more then a hair cut but often the truth is it isn’t. I think if you have enough other stuff going right and are actually patient you can get the best of both. Longhair and girlfriend/wife.

The Anti-Life Equation: Long haired guy here, and although I disagree I respect your opinion. If you prefer short haired men then that's just whom you prefer to date. I don't see why so many people in the comments are angry about it lol.

Houston McKenzie: You should look at the story of Samson he had long hair because God did not tell him to cut it off he he was well-liked with women his wife was mean Delilah

DELACRUZ: She said long hair is feminine. Vikings: bring the sword

Hank Abney: most girls hate i mean hate long hair on guys my wife hates it ive had it long since i was a teen im 50 now still wear it long till it falls out ill always have long hair its longer than my wifes she said if she ever gets cancer im cutting it off as a joke but no they dont like it but some guys do

bassfan41: It's hard to take a woman serious no matter what her hair looks like

Animal Kingdom🦊: I like men with long hair, but that is okay if you do not like it.

Simon Simon: I think that women are jealous when men have long or longer hair because they look cooler and sexier.

Hank Abney: man bun bah long hair rocks grow it and a beard to but i braid it, im a biker some people it scares biker look other wish they could grow it do what you want ,less caring what others think

Damon Miller: Everyone should have long hair

ise' wtr: How is it feminine that my hair grows like a human?

Thomas Todd: If a women care’s about your hair looking bad, she’s a hypocrite. If she calls you on it being unmaintained, point out that hers isn’t always maintained either. This is a huge double standard and it will continue until guys address it. We are all made with hair follicles.

Amarok: If you aren't a man who's had long hair, you don't know what you're talking about!

burmesebeef: Rename the video "what YOU think about long hair". The thor actor looks better with long hair than short tamed look

Omar Sepulveda: Whack...girls always tell me not to cut my hair.

many multifandoms: I actually prefer guys with long hair, shoulder length is best to me.
