3am in the city after a night out walking to a Greek restaurant to grab something to eat, a worker was outside having a smoke and kept staring at me as me and my friend approached ( I was wondering then, wtf is he staring at) then he points at me and yells ''woman'' twice (in reference to my long hair).
What a a'hole, he didn't realise we were going to his restaurant (didn't deserve my $11), if he was younger I would have punched him in the face.

    my hair is pretty long too, and i've been in that kind of sinario so often now, that its just like water of a ducks back.

    I just think of it as they are just too scared to be original, and be them selves, that they take it out on us. :lol:

    So that dumbassed mentality still exists????
    A buddy and myself had really long hair a while back, we were driving down the road when we saw a group of guys we knew. They waved at us and my friend says they want to speak to us, we turn around and when we get to them they all crack up laughing! "Hey man, we thought you were babes and we were getting lucky"

    I can empathize but have to say that it's far worse to be a tall woman with short hair and, um, modestly-proportioned upper curves.

    Yes, I have gotten the occasional "can I help you, sir?" much to my husband's amusement.

    This past june I was at a festival and only on one day of it, at least 10 people randomly came up and just touched me and walked away. My hair is getting kinda long and i was wearing a sarong. but that was kinda weird. I wonder if they were making sure i was really there

    do they touch your hand, shoulder, or hair?
    do they touch your face, look you in the eyes, then dart away as fast as possible?

    told you not to carry that handbag.. what with that and the long hair it was bound to happen sooner or later.

    Still pissed off about it, wish I said something.
    Sick of ignorant people (including my family) harassing me over my long hair.
    Maybe I would've told him fuck off and told him his saviour is a woman as well (Greeks here are very religious, Jesus has long hair in all paintings of him).

    "Sick of ignorant people (including my family) harassing me over my long hair.

    I say....." I think long hair on a Man looks good but the hair must be looked after.
    I think a good attitude looks and acts much better than a haircut.
    When that maid outside the resturant taunted you and called you a girly man, TWICE!.
    YOU could've started a fight, but your a better person..........because.....

    So First Exit if your reading this, I asked what came first re chickens and eggs.

    Scientists just found out an EGG can not be made without a certain Protien from the Chicken.......ALRIGHT! :twisted:

    To the OP.
    Your saying that men in the street call you a woman, but it's not because of your long hair, carrying a handbag or the way you walk.......

    I think Thoughts Arrives needs to send a film of himself to D and let this Thread.......continue :D

    My son was called Jesus last year in his dorm—all in good fun. Since then he has cut it but not before he was actually jumped due to his long hair. He was riding his bike late at night off campus and some punks made some remark about his hair so he said F**k you to them and rode off. Then he hits a dead end. Yes, he had to turn around and go back and the 4 guys pull him off his bike and proceed to kick the shit out of him. Nice, huh? And I am not saying he went out the next day and found one of the punks and kicked the shit out of him – nope, not saying that.

    I was shocked people have some problem with people’s hair length in 2010 and need to say it out loud. Geez.
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream

    Awesome! I saw the second show at the Garden in NYC and it was great! Trying to catch some more concerts in the area, but money is the issue here too.
