Uh... seriously? GET OVER IT.
I cut my hair when I decided to join the Navy (it wasn't just "long", It was like shoulder length). Do you hear me bitching about it? And I can't grow my hair for another 8+ years.... boo hoo.
I am very aware of how long it takes to grow out. It doesn't matter how many times this is covered. This is just a silly topic. If the short hairstyle was on the front of people magazine, everyone and their mother would have it and we wouldn't be arguing. The reason it is a big deal is because it temporarily makes you un-STYLISH. That is the most petty, superficial bullshit reason I've ever heard about how/why OCS was "hard".
All this argument does is make a bad name for the other females who "get it".
You answered why guys are getting on the females for the haircut BS. Guess what, you're an equal after you are commissioned as well regardless of the length of your hair.you in another thread said:
At the risk of digging a deeper hole...
most people are offended by the term "sacrifice". A sacrifice is "the surrender or destruction of something prized or desirable for the sake of something considered as having a higher or more pressing claim". Sacrifice is a trade off. the words are just symantics. Hell, I'll shave my ass and walk backwards if that's what I had to do to get a commission. And I'd do it with a smile on my face. My point is that guys don't understand that losing your hair is more about losing a sense of yourself and your femininity. It's not vanity. At least it's not for me. Guys, think about watching your prized Jeep 4x4 or Mustang GT get put into a crusher, then someone hands you the keys to a 1989 volvo station wagon which you get to drive to work every day. For the next 5 years. This is the best comparison I can give you.
That being said, I don't want to hear whiney women complain about being ugly, or looking like a boy either. I made the choice to serve my country and this is the smallest most insignificant "trade off" I can possibly imagine I will be asked to make during my career. I just don't want to hear guys belittle women for something they don't understand.
I'm sure I'll get even more nasty messages now...as for me, I've discussed this sad excuse for a topic for more than enough for one lifetime.

He bowls overhand.
Your haircut costs as much as a Mustang GT?!?
On a serious note, stereotyping that the only reason that men buy cars is for image is not a good way to make a case for yourself.
A Jeep 4x4 can do things that a Volvo cannot, like tow stuff. A Mustang GT can do things a Volvo cannot, like drive fast. There are people in this world who are into motorsports. A haircut serves no purpose other than to make you look a certain way.
When you consider how much girls spend on haircuts, shampoos, conditioners, coloring, treatments over the 5-8 years it takes to grow it out...I'd say it costs more. Mustangs are cheap these days. no one wants a gas guzzler. My point is more that guys, at least every one I've ever known, buys a car to fit their personality. If they like to off-road, they get a jeep. if they like to go fast, they get a muscle car. if they have a small penis, they buy a huge lifted truck which serves no logical purpose. it's what you feel comfortable with. same applies to girls and their hair. It's a poor comparison i grant you that, but I can't think of a better one...unless you want to talk about losing a testicle.
I thought you were discussing hair, not marriage....
