Guys and Long Hair

One of my male co-workers, who happens to be gay, told me this morning that my hair looked nice. I mentioned to him that I was excited, because I have a hair cut scheduled for Sunday. His eyes got big and scared and he asked me how much I was planning on having cut. I explained that I was just getting a little bit cut to trim up my layers, and that he probably wouldn't even notice the difference. His reponse was, "Phew. Guys like long hair." Then another male co-worker came over to reinforce this opinion.

It was just funny to me that my gay co-worker was concerned about the length of my hair and its effect on men. What is it with guys and long hair???
