Oh, I don't know about that, Odds. It may just be some type of unconscious status symbol.

I have extremely thick hair. Extremely. My roomie and I once did a little test. She braided her hair and then I took as much of mine that would make a braid the same thickness as her's. I had four braids to her one. That's how thick it is.

I'm always getting the 'wow, you have a lot of hair' said as if it's a compliment. People seem (and say they are) jealous of it. People that don't have to deal with it, that is. When I was getting it washed at the beauty college (while my arm was broken) the girls would all 'ooh and aah' over it.

Yeah. Whatever. It's hair. But there is some kind of compliment behind a 'wow you have thick hair' comments. I just say thanks or an incredulous 'I KNOW. Isn't it crazy?'

Man if I ever open a match.com account I'll be golden. "Hey ladies I've got thick hair and a long torso. I'm a genetic gold mine. Plus chicks did my apartment's big bath tub. You know you want me." I'll be swarmed I tells ya.

Haha! Well I guess thick lustrous hair is supposed to be a nice feature for a woman isn't it 'Bug? I remember when I was in school, you could tell if the girls were working up to a proper bitching session because they always started with 'and her hair is so thin and greasy' before they built up, saved me alot of bother once I picked that one up xD

I usually just get 'huh, you know you actually have a lot of hair here' and then 'you're really sure you don't want me to use the clippers? really really sure?' and then much muttering as they thin and trim ^^

edit hey you're onto a winner there Zeek xD shall we run a book on how many applicants you get per hour?

They may think their sins are original, but for the most part they are petty and repetitive.

Ahahaaahaahaa. I can just see girls saying that. I can even hear them saying it in my head, though I don't think I've ever uttered the words my own self.

Zeek. There you go. Thick hair and a big bath tub. You should be the hottest ticket in town. :D

People come up to me and just touch or grab my hair.

I hate them.

With a passion.

You should reach inside them and touch their lungs, just to be fair.

That doesn't bother me in the least. In fact I really like it a lot when people come up to you and grab you hair.

The hair-grabbing has been mentioned before in an earlier version of this thread. It doesn't happen to me. I can't imagine doing that to anyone. That is really crossing a personal boundary that should be off limits. Yet people do that. Was it because someone did it to them as children (when it was probably lees off limits)? Or that they've witnessed it and so it would (to them) be acceptable?

You know what the first rule of flyin' is? Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. And love keeps her in the air when she oughtta fall down… tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keels… makes her a home.
