Girls are weird

Why do girls wear their hair so long? It's hot, and heavy, and a pain.

I don't think I understand them any more than I did a week ago.

i just realized i forgot about our last thread D:

... Have you been thinking about this a lot in the last week or something?

no worries

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

Not really. I was just wondering.

[psych0p0mps]

some girls dont wear their hair long
its just a matter of personal taste

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. But lots of girls I know do it, and it seems really inconvenient.

[psych0p0mps]

well to each her own thats really all there is to say on the matter :)
why do you ask anyway
do you like girls with short hair

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

Well... just seems like it'd get in the way if you're active.

[psych0p0mps]

it does sometimes
as do skirts for another example
but there are tradeoffs to anything

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

I don't understand them either.

However, where I come from it is considered fashionable for men of status to wear their hair long as well.

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

But doesn't it get hot?

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, but you can always tie it back or queue it if you feel it is in the way.

I'm sure you've had some experience with this sort of thing. [You know, being a girl and all]

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

Not really. Most guys don't care about their hair. [and his handwriting is totally manly, tyvm]

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

Don't care, or pretend not to care?

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

I did say "most". I know some guys who care a lot.

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

[You're talkin' to one]

Yes, but I happen to know most men are concerned with how women...or whomever it is that you prefer...perceive them.

[Percy has to think about this]

I guess since my girlfriend's already known me for a long time, I never thought about it.

[percepts.livejournal.com]

Because it's pretty! ...And because we want to, I guess. And... I dunno. Just something that girls do.

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

If your girlfriend liked your hair long, would you wear it that way?

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

[tugs his hair, frowning]

It's really inconvenient. I don't think it'd work with me.

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

Girls do crazy things.

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

Why do you say that?

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

It would just get in the way.

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

You're one of those practical types, I see. I suppose you must decide what is important, but in general, fashion is rarely practical.

[this sounds like only something a child of Aphrodite would care about. But Percy knows better than to comment on that. So ADHD time]

You mean like those parachute pants they used to wear?

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

[Leaving Felix totally confused]

Parachute pants?

[waterproofed.livejournal.com]

Yeah. When we were stuck in that weird 80's cafe, I was stuck wearing parachute pants.
