Long hair

How many of us have long hair. Ive got hair down to my shoulders and Iam constantly thought of by everyone as some kind of drug addict or hippie. If you do have long hair does it get you stereotyped as someone with drugs or someone that the cops immidiately expect for having stuff on you?

Yes, mines more than halfway down my back. Since I moved to this little WV town, I was marked as a druggie...It pisses me off. No problems with the cops yet though. But all the Biblethumping God-folk think I moved from CA to be a bad influence...I actually heard it said. Makes it hard to get work, hence the shrooms!

I'm growing my hair out again. I used to have it a little past my shoulders. Never really had any trouble with the cops, but people always look at me weird and assume I am a "druggie". Fuck them, they don't even know me. All they know is I'm young, I have two piercings, and long hair and from there they think they have all the knowledge in the world to come to a conclusion. People like that make me sick.

I got my hair cut. When I had long hair, most people regarded me as a druggie (and a hippie). Now that it's cut and I have more of a conservative look, no one suspects me of drug use. Appearance is everything. If you look like a druggie, people will regard you as one no matter what (even if you aren't).

Yo. Some of my friends and I have long hair, and sometimes are regarded as hippies/druggies possibly because of it...But seriously now...obviously, many of us actually ARE hippies/druggies, so who cares?

Cant say I ever notice anyone stare, but my hair gets me labeled. That is pretty annoying.
Although, on Easter I was followed by a Kansas State Sheriff for about 2 miles. I was doing about 5 over, he probably just ran my plates.

Yeah, I've got long hair too. Probably only one of two in my town that do--not uncommon in the South. Its fucked up and hard when police are around, you're shopping, you're applying for a job, the list goes on and on. I say fuck it though...people are so ignorant and judgemental in general I kind of enjoy getting them riled up. I do carry protection if any country boys try anything, I learned that when two employees at a store yelled at me and cursed me outside the store door, I told their manager, and she didn't do shit.
People don't give a fuck about you if you are not in their category of "acceptability".

It shouldn't mater how you look, but with the prejudice of the world it's the way it is, were labeled before people even meet us, and in a sense, discriminated for it.

Yep, I got myself some shoulder length curly hair. Yep, people do call me a druggie. Every other chap that I know with long hair does a lot of drugs. Women grudgingly love my hair though; they say they wish they had hair like mine. And whats more, I dont even dump all that shit into my hair that women do to make it look good.

Although I wouldn't label myself a "druggie," I do take drugs and drugs (the ones I take) are illegal, and for that fact, I don't necessarily want to advertise it. When a cop pulls me over, I would rather have him thinking "that kid's hair is a little too short" rather than "god damn druggie." Short hair is also a lot easier to maintain than long hair, and summer days aren't nearly as hot. The ladies did love my hair though, that's my only regret for cutting it

i did have long hair. it wasn't cut for security measures, but of course it has added benefits.
the great thing about assumptions is: they are predictable
because these stereotypes conform to a certain standard, you can be sure what someone is going to think when they see something. then, you can act accordingly.

Stereotypes exist because most of the time they are true.
I'd say a very large percent of people (guys) with long hair smoke weed. For every stereotype, there will obviously be an exception. But as far as they go, for the most part, they are accurate.

True.. but for every guy I know with long hair that smokes weed.. I can think of ten others with short hair that do the same. It's just the fucking stereotypes of society... probably leftover resentment of the hippies from the 60s. Up until 200 years ago it was cool to have long hair. Politicians wore big ass wigs. Jesus had long hair. Now it makes you a druggie.
I say fuck society and the horse it rode in on.. but that attitude doesn't get you very far with it.

The thing people need to realize is most people smoke pot, I can inafct go up to almost anyone in my neighborhood and ask them to smoke a bowl and they would.
