I wear my hair long. \u00a0 I’ve done this since I was a teenager. \u00a0 I like the look of it on me, and I have a thing for longhaired males. Admittedly it’s high maintenance compared to wearing it short, but it’s worth it to me. \u00a0 So much so in fact, that I’ve declined jobs rather than accede to an employer’s demand that I cut it. \u00a0 Of course, a lot of those were probably more about a suspicion of homosexuality than the length of my hair. \u00a0 Saying I was being fired for a dress code offense after I’d already been employed with long locks suggested there was something else going on.<\/p>\n
As I said, I have a thing for longhaired males. \u00a0 And back in my twenties I was delighted to find that even as the clone look was becoming fashionable among gay guys, lots of gay guys still liked the look of a guy with long hair. \u00a0 One day, one of these pinged me on a gay BBS I did volunteer work for, and asked me into one of the private online chat rooms.<\/p>\n
He said he’d seen my profile (the sysop had created a message board just for the posting of profiles). \u00a0 This was back in a time when everything you did online you did in a text only terminal. \u00a0 I think the sysop still hadn’t decided what to do about attaching photos to the profiles. Storage space was pretty expensive back then, and download times on a dial-up modem connection were not wonderful. So the profiles had no photos. \u00a0 Mine was correct as far as the specs went…my age, my height and weight…I’ve never seen the point of lying about any of that. \u00a0 But all he knew about me was that, and that I wore my hair long. \u00a0 And right away as I enter private chat mode, he’s telling me how hot he got reading my profile.<\/p>\n
I’ve never thought of myself as ugly, but I’ve been called that more than a few times (“people who look like that, want people who look like that…”). \u00a0 But I’ve also had complements too, and when I look in the mirror, I generally like what I see. \u00a0 Yes…I would hit that. \u00a0 But by my mid thirties, still hopelessly single, I pretty much knew my face and my skinny as a rail body were not supermodel material. \u00a0 Okay…fine. \u00a0 I don’t need the world to think I’m good looking…just one special someone if I can just find them.<\/p>\n
So I start telling this guy to calm down a bit, because he hasn’t actually seen me. \u00a0 It was really like that because everything he was typing at me in private chat mode is about how hot it is making him just talking there online to a longhaired gay guy. \u00a0 Take a chill pill man…I might be your type or I might not be. \u00a0 The sysop was throwing a BBS party the following week, how about we meet then?<\/p>\n
And I figure he just about has an orgasm then….YES! \u00a0 YES! \u00a0 YES! \u00a0 WE HAVE TO GET TOGETHER THEN!!!! \u00a0 And before he signs off he’s bubbling over about how hot long haired gay guys are.<\/p>\n
So (you can see this coming…right?) I go to the party, chat with everyone there that I already know, and this guy whoever he was does not come up to greet me. \u00a0 Later I learn that he was there, took one look, and kept his distance. \u00a0 Hahahahahaha…<\/p>\n
Later that summer, the sysop organized a picnic for all of us at a nice city park and I was introduced to Mr. Longhairs Are So Fucking Hot. \u00a0 I’d hitched a ride with one of the other users, who asked me ahead of time if I could find a ride home since he had to go to work right after the picnic. \u00a0 I figured I could and wouldn’t you know, Mr. Longhairs Are So Fucking Hot offered me one. Several other users offered me rides after that and I declined saying Mr. Longhairs Are So Fucking Hot was taking me home. \u00a0 As the picnic wound down and my other offers were already gone, Mr. Longhairs Are So Fucking Hot comes back and says he has a date for that night, could I get a ride from someone else. \u00a0 I think I eventually walked to the closest Metro station, which was a couple miles away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
