Enter Apotheosis Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 There's no way that many people are ok with dreadlocks. Gotta be some ninja voting or something going on. Or I was right all along. This should have been a private poll. People are voting differently because they don't want to offend anyone. This is the internet, Bubble. It's a magical place where people generally don't give a **** about offending other people, especially with something so trivial as this. There is no incentive to lie.

sean_e_b Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 People are voting differently because they don't want to offend anyone. Who would they offend? Are they afraid that Chris Horton might see this thread and be so upset that he'll go to their house and strangle them with one of the locks? Are they afraid that Whoopi Goldberg might see this and then feel the need to give her dreads better PR by starring in a sequel to Sister Act? There's nothing wrong with being in the minority viewpoint (which you are right now). Having a different view doesn't make somebody a liar, especially on something as mundane as, "How do you feel about dreadlocks?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I don't get why anyone would hate them. I loved having dreads. There are days when I wish I still had them. Dreads are very difficult to maintain and when they got to about 2 feet long, I needed help maintaining them. There's a lot of misinformation out there about dreads. People think you can't wash them. I think that's completely disgusting and there's a lot of people who don't wash theirs. (Dirty ass, free lovin, minimalist hippies.) I washed mine frequently b/c I'm not some dirtball. They took forever to dry though and when the dreads were wet, they were heavy. It would pull hard on the hair roots and that's one of the few things that made me not want them but you get used to it. After I cut them, I realized my body had compensated for them in a few ways. For one, once the weight was gone from my head, my neck was messed up. It had become accustomed to the weight in the back so it countered it to the front. For about 2 days, when I'd look down, my chin would drop. lol! Not fun at all. Also, all the dreads were usually in a ponytail right down my spine. Once the dreads were gone, the middle of my back would shiver most of the day. My body was used to getting that extra insulation of heat from the dreads. Think about it, it's like having a thick wool sweater down your spine. Anyway... wish I had em still in the winter. In the summertime... not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 To find dreads offensive is kinda silly. I just don't like the look. I don't like fake nails on women either, but again...to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'm sure this is a minority opinion but any kind of long hair on a dude looks pretty feminine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubble Screen Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I'm sure this is a minority opinion but any kind of long hair on a dude looks pretty feminine. Yeah, I mentioned that earlier. Its just not dreads that I think are feminine and hideous. Can't stand seeing long hair on a guy. Its girlish. And unless you're someone like Clay Matthews, you can't get away with it.

Stadium-Armory Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Finally, the skins have a few guys with dreads. This guarantees success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
