I think the hair is manly.

Just some guys think to be manly you have to have short hair or no hair.

I like guys with long hair.. I like the style. It's not confusing to me and a lot of different people. maybe you just aren't used to it?

[continued] the masculine culture of america i pretty fail a lot of times as is social behaviour/ social interaction/ respect in social situations/ social understanding etc. It suffers anyway. Americans tend to be kind of clueless when it comes to those things and very unrefined and uneducated in that sense....which makes us look like retards to other countries. I've traveled to 16 countries and every time, in comparison, that's kind of been the case. There are exceptions for some, though.

meh they don't look like chicks. maybe a real hosuto can give input; i understand its human nature sometimes there will be cross dressing or homosexual or metro or whatever out there,but Japanese cultural standards are vastly different from American and define masculinity in different ways.I think a lot of American men don't know how to be real men and don't know how to take care of themselves or dress to make a good impression etc. Some do,but i think the 'masculine' culture in America [cont.]

Do hosuto ever wear Kimono? Mens kimono are just as sexy as the suits 0.0
