Whats the problem with long hair?

I am growing my hair long, I want a pony tail.
I have received numerous threats, comments pleads to cut it, from "Yuck it looks horrible, cuuuuuuuuut it" to "Please kaNo putta, haircuttige hogu", from "Yappa, saaku ninna avataara, hogI cut maadsu koodalnaa" to amma pleading with me to cut my lovely locks :)

But the best was when Unmarried Assamese concoction said "I am not meeting you with long hair, as a principle I don't meet guys with long hair"

What karma! We are not seeing each other, I am not going to a party as her date and I am not meeting a prospective groom for her such that she may be judged by the friends and may be embaressed. But nahi, madam is not happy with my long hair. By principle, she wont meet me :)

I am smart too, I told her "I don't by principle meet fat girls (she said she has crossed her own limits)" :D
