A private saw a general putting sugar and milk in his coffee - he said "I thought real men drank their coffee black." The general replied, "real men drink their coffee as they damn please." Same with length of hair.
My take on it: real men can drink their coffee black, if there is no milk and sugar at hand, and not whine about it.
Otherwise, yeah, power to the general.
voilaviolamh
It used to be around where I live at least that as a matter of being honourable a man was not supposed to pry into another mans private life as well as things like don’t discuss religion unless everyone there is the same religion or don’t discuss politics unless it’s among people who know eachother well or it’s an intended political discussion. I think this concept can be extended to things like being gay too. I could care less if someone I work with or randomly encounter is gay or not and the thought of what’s their sexuality doesn’t even cross my mind. Even the stereotypes I’ve known very stereotypically “feminine” men who were totally straight and very stereotypically “masculine” seeming men who were gay. Hell I don’t live in a city work mostly outdoors and like things like working on my own vehicles and I’m bi leaning towards preferring males so really stereotypically anything is bullshit. Hell high heels and tights used to be considered “male fashion” way back
I see it as the same way. As long as you’re not raping anyone not treating your partner like shit and not having sex in public a man can be with whoever the fuck he wants or not. I choose not to have sex right now I just have a lot bigger priorities in life
my husband @Arcon of Anarchy is fons of saying " never see a bull drinking milk" & takes his coffee with sugar

masculinity really isnt about whether you have long or short hair. It's about values like honour, bravery, responsibility, duty. Being a patriarch to your family, having a skill or trait to contribute to your society. Being a protector and a provider. Being strong of constitution and mind. Those are masculine values, whether you have long or short hair or a beard is really irrelevant.
Pretty much this; let's take the whole "lumberjack look", for example; modern man tries to look like a lumberjack, instead of being the lumberjack.
Looks do play a part. It's part of evolution. Animals responds the same toward physical appearance. That's why birds with better color and feathers can attract mates. Trying to downplay looks is a mistake. If you don't think your hair or beard matters in regards to masculinity, why don't you try to shave the front part of your head but leave the back long and comb over it toward your front and then do an opposite-hitler mustache with middle shaved and side grown out and use gel to straighten them. See how many people respond to your masculinity of character after that. I bet your significant other would dump you if you don't change your looks back.
Kaze we're talking about masculinity, not attractiveness.
+Zenon
Ugh, do I hate the "lumbersexual" fad that hipsters are all over right now. All the beard, clothing and whiskey drinking without the ability to even chop firewood up.
Well said Avraham. It's actions, not appearance, that define true masculinity.
You know what they say about guys with long hair...
Big shampoo budget.
Sexy Pepper ....you saying he's a transhexual ? : )
calohtar I would consider long hair but my hair is soo damn thick it would be a fucking rats nest.
Not true, at least not for me. I have exceptionally long, thick hair that I keep in a simplistic style that is perfectly clean with the cheap shampoo. Really, most people don't know how to clean themselves, so they waste a lot of soap and stuff like that.
The oily dudes with the short hair wrestling was turning me on. I need a cigarette now. ; P
Using shampoo is pointless and is a waste of money in any case, doesn't matter if the hair is short or long. That is unless you've got something really stuck in there, but even then cheap soap can be enough.
Yes I have relatively long hair and I wash hair only with water, daily. Nothing fell out, nobody died, nobody went suspicious of me not being a normie.
I don't knowWTF this hippie is talking about.
I oil myself up and go wrestling with the boys all the time. Fuck yeah brah!
:)
That ain't real wrastlin'!
Gay!!!!
StravoS you're gay...
Styx is more interesting than any teacher I've ever had
ohyeah1591 more interesting than most people I've known
+ Kilgore. Overpaid lazy jobsworths.
Interesting but not correct. Many fallacies in this video. Hair preferences for rich & poor were never fixed. His claims on long hair is to far fetched. Indeed in Roman era Germanic free men & warriors distinguished them self with Suebian knot style of haircut which besides knot itself can't be called long hair...... & by God, haircut of Norman warriors was short.
Truth.
I must echo that sentiment sir....
Dude, watch for confirmation bias. While there were a number of factors contributing to short hair coming into masculine style in the late nineteenth century America, the biggest contributing factor was industrialization. Short hair in factories was just safer. While the founders had 'longish' hair, few if any had beards; facial hair came more in fashion in the US during the middle eighteen hundreds.
Joe Bellofatto agree
It’s cleaner too. People couldn’t wash their hair everyday. Also for combat purposes long hair sucks. Last I believe once wages rose, technology advanced guys got their hair cut more frequently to show they had disposable income and time. Also we had wars like every ten years around the turn of the century so a lot teens probably got used to have short hair from their time in the service
That is what they told men. IT has to do with other matters. Long hair was always a sign of spirituality. Styx is surely right but you need to add this background as well. And if you see "modernity" and the whole process of western despiritualization things start to make sense. There is always an "explanation" and a "reason" that is given to the common average people... .
As a man with long hair, I approve this message.
Dödens Evangelium agree in every way
long hair IS GAY
Dödens Evangelium enjoy it now cause father time always wins!
***** medium hair is OK =)
lol
John Lennon was asked why he had long hair. He replied: It simply grows out of your head. So the real question should more like: Why did you cut it?
fsffsa5325324 jesus...
because it looks like shit
Why do you cut your fingernails?
Tony G
Can’t answer for him but I find them annoying they start feeling weird and dirt gets trapped under them somehow even when I haven’t done anything that would involve getting my hands dirty
John Lennon was a globalist puppet. Read the words to imagine.
This just sounds a lot like how fat people defend their state how through most of human history being fat was a sign of wealth.
There's a bit of a difference between being healthy enough to field long hair without problems, and being unhealthy and obese.
On top of that all old conceptions of 'fat' is what we would call slightly chubby. Because nobody was fat at all, due to the glaringly obvious problem of malnutrition. The conception of long hair, however, has stayed the same.
I'm reading about Ivan the Terrible at the moment - in Russia in the 1400's-1500's, it was quite desirable to have a gut that hung over the belt (not so in other parts of Europe).
Indians today see a fat belly as a good thing on a man, the young men there walk around puffing their bellies out - it's a sign of wealth, you can afford to eat well.. You don't see many thin Brahmin.
Not to mention what was historically "fat" and what is fat today are two COMPLETELY different things.
people generally didn't get as old in those times as we do now so the repercussions were literally less (and thus it is justifiable in those times).
Didn't clean shaven and short hair start in WW1 when men had to shave to properly wear the gas masks and then it caught on when they came back home.
Hell before 1916 British soldiers needed to have hair on the upper lip.
Also in trench warfare people could pull on your beard or hair
Guy Fawks lmao thanks for the funny correction, that made me laugh. I meant beard. But yes bread snatchers are scum.
So feminism destroyed masculinity. Shocker. I never would have guessed that.
I can imagine that this is how you would react to a bully heckling you in the steet, ultimately making him fall asleep and so disarming him
Why would someone heckle me in the street?
Styxhexenhammer666 cause people are dicks to people who are smarter than them
Styxhexenhammer666 What if you can't grow long hair Styx??
Styxhexenhammer666: They would bother you because asshats and idiots do exist or do you not have to deal with that problem within your general area of Vermont. If you don't have to deal with those sorts of people, I seriously envy you.
jonathan hartley lol
Vikings had long hair. They also had combs to keep their mane looking good and some archeologists say they even bleached their hair blonde if they weren't blonde already. They had tooth brushes as well and bathed every week. Women, even the English women thought that they were sexy and exuded masculinity.
@The505Guys The DNA of Iceland is Norse on the male side and significantly Irish on the female side, so at the very least they stopped to pick up some "wives" before heading off to a flaming rock in the middle of a freezing sea. ; p
*women are blonde but men are blond. One more oddity in English.
Adolf Hitler
Thanks for the obvious. Now how is that relevant to what I said?
Muh Vikangz
Fucking sissy’s bleaching their hair 😂
I started letting my hair grow out in my teens. My mother despised it, especially when it was time to go to church. She said "sometimes, it matters what other people think". That sold me on long hair, and I haven't cut it short in almost 20 years.
Thanks, mom.
Long hair is inconvenient for grappling. They didn't have rash guards and spats/singlets back then, so that explains the nudity. When you're actually fighting though, sexual thoughts never occur. I think that is an outsiders projection. The only thoughts that occur along the lines of: "Oh fuck, my arm's going to break, tap, tap, TAP!"
I get what you're saying, though. In Japan, long hair was also seen as being healthy.
And in Korea, Mongolia. Native Americans, Polynesian, Samoan, etc., etc.
And then there are the religious, eg Sikh, Yogi, Swamis.
I love long hair on men in most cases it brings out their masculinity.
Providing for your family is the most masculine thing in the world. Whether you do that with a short or long hair doesnt matter at all.
What you are saying about the Middle Ages is bullshit. There were periods of famine and the deprivation of war, but there are English records, for example, detailing far more varied and nourishing diets among the peasantry than stale bread and ale. Many of them kept their own animals, sold and consumed the excess of their labour and hunted on the commons. Town craftsmen of the lower orders are recorded as eating relatively well and having respectably well-furnished homes. The idea the society of the High Middle Ages could have been maintained for any period of time by keeping the peasants effectively on crumbs and dregs is utterly absurd, however backward and impoverished their existence might appear to us in retrospect. Europe was a developed agricultural and manufacturing society in the Middle Ages. It produced immense amounts of foods, built astounding architecture, maintained towns, monasteries, cities and fleets. The economy was more perilous and vulnerable to catastrophe but the condition of the average person was not usually one of abject desperation and poverty.
The mortal torment of the average person was the generality of things like natural famine, disease, war, hard labour etc, but they were not constantly scraping around and begging for a morsel of bread. Even the peasants of England in the Middle Ages considered that a debased, unnatural and unjust condition when it occurred.
Yup people have been smart enough to stay well fed in the good times for thousands, if not tens of thousands of years. Bad times were very bad of course.
I agree. Anyone who's genuinely gone hungry knows it makes you useless and devoid of energy, let alone if you do physical labor for a living like most people did. A farm hand would probably pass out if restricted to even 2000 calories a day, I'm guessing people ate more then than we do now.
vanillin The records have of course been kept in England. There were lengthy and extended periods and regions in and during which the peasants lived half decent lives, if not by our standards, at least by theirs. After all, England is not a desert. It was full of food and animals and precious metals etc.
People of course had more to worry about noble greed and rapine than what the land could produce. Given peace and the opportunity the common people generally made a decent living from the land.
Regardless of the historical context, I don't want a handle on my head for thugs and thuggettes to grab me by.
I have hair about the same lenght as yours and an 8 or so inch long beard. I'm a 21 year old college student so its safe to say all the kids my age are ignorant as hell. I get shit for my hair every day from random people on campus and even my friends. Going to send this video to those morons who give me a hard time for my hair from now on haha.
Jon
Fuck them
@@williamjenkins5438 So how did they react?
You don't have to shave your beard, trim your hair or oil up your body in order to lift. Physical strength is masculine no matter how you cut it.
Masculinity is not so much appearance but an attitude and an outlook on life.
My husband had long hair like you when I met him, he had your leather jacket too! I have always liked long hair on guys. My husband cut it when he started to lose some on top.
Barbara Riepe If Styx starts balding on top, I hope he keeps what he has on the sides 😂
Fart Crapper,
LOL WTF XD
I have long thick luxurious hair that goes all the way down my back. Too bad my head has gone bald.
FreeAgent , Haha , we used to call the people from certain Mediterranean country, s mat backs , asian,s . . we called them fish , oh well , how we laughed .
Ben Winter LOL! It's a joke. I once had hair that women said they would die for, but not any more, It is thin, grey, and I am balding.
Are you Devin Townsend?
Mister Lucifer No, is he like big foot or what lol?
Proton2112 LOL, OK, but not for a dime more than 15%.
In ancient Greece beard were a norm for older men. Also the hair were not very short but medium. Alexander the Great was the first one that made clean shave fashionable. He also forced all his soldiers to shave in order not to be grabbed by the beard. Romans copied Alexander but also shortened the haircuts.
George . . it also happened with the north American Indian tribes around the Hudson bay , all the way up to the ice . . any brave could challenge another for their wife , in a basically mma wrestling match , that was when both party,s shaved their usually long hair , so as it could,t be used to their disadvantage . . in the up coming scrap .
The505Guys . . The first thing to fall in every battle , is the well laid plans of the generals , second , war is hell . . it always devolves into hand to hand combat . . at some stage .
Sorry, but I have to call BS on some of this. Greeks and Romans had close-cropped hair. Gayness had nothing to do with it. In the ancient world it was considered hygienic. Look at rulers of the 19th century and notice they had short hair. Napolean didn't look like the member of a hair band. Western civ largely looked to the ancient world for inspiration. Yes, a lot of people in the middle ages had long hair but short hair was not a slave thing. They did use wigs in the 17th and 18th century as a symbol of elite status but it was not the Victorian era and temperance that change hair styles. You had some men in the old west with long hair and you had some with short hair., It was a personal choice. And it became more urban to have short hair. Read up on Peter the Great. He wanted to modernize Russia so he had men cut off their beards and shorn their hair to look more European. Because long hair was considered old fashioned.
This. Styx dropped the ball here. I think this video was reflexive because his ego was smarting from personal attacks. Bad move.
Ive kept long and short hair and don't care either way, but I had been under the impression that the 'short hair clean shaven' look grew out of military traditions. Most of the historic leaders on the 'short-hair' list seem to be militaristic. Perhaps it would be fair to characterize long hair as more associated with peace, of course plenty of warrior cultures kept long hair too. /shrug
Yes, the military is part of it but in Europe they let you have long hair in the military. At least in the Scandinavian countries. I have had long and short hair. I prefer short now because it's easier to deal with,. In Styx's case long hair works for him because he is so thin it gives his head more volume. So he looks bigger than he would otherwise. He shouldn't care what people say about his hair unless he starts wearing a man bun :)
I thought the short hair shaved face look emerged from the industrial revolution, as you wouldn't want the hair to get in the way or get caught in machinery. I had a locksmith class in school and the teacher repeated over and over how important it was to have your hair out of the way and the right clothing for the job (in fact he'd kick us out of class if we forgot to bring and wear the blue lab coats), occasionally mentioning horrific accidents that could occur if we didn't follow the safety rules. These days I see long hair as an indication of an artistic and slightly feminine personality, while short hair as disciplined, industrious and masculine personality.
Depends on the period, just like their sculpture, trends and ideals changed in Greek beauty over the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods.
Honestly I think the whole concept of masculinity has no true meaning other than the present concepts of your current societal standards. You can talk all you want about what masculinity was in previous time periods, but like most ideas, the concept of masculinity changes. In the end its nothing more than what the general society believes it is.
Disagree. Masculinity doesn't change. How it's expressed changes.
When the hell will there be a president with facial hair again?!
Temperance women did not give two shits about male life or health; they were mad because when a man buys a drink, that money isn't being spent on her.
I find you to be very what I would call Intellectually masculine ....I like your long hair !
hairless men and women make me think of hairless children, which grosses me out, unless someone is naturally hairless. I'm a female and I don't rid myself of body hair. I love fuzzy wuzzy people. ♥
In the ancient world, due to the influence of Hippocrates, women's long hair helped them draw fluids (semen) up into themselves and become pregnant. Men with long hair were considered effeminate, because there job was to pump the fluids, not absorb them. The only women with short hair were prostitutes, who were not interested in procreation.
But this predates Hippocrates: witness the story of Samson. He was under a vow of purity and humility which involved wearing long hair in order to deliberately appear effeminate. Why? So no one would attribute his feats of strength and prowess in battle to his "manliness" but to God; God therefore got the glory. When he foolishly let his hair be cut, God stopped helping him; when it finally grew in, He helped him one last time.
Besides: long hair in modern men is part and parcel with women wearing pants, burning their bras, growing out their pit and leg hair, taking the pill/having abortions, and homosexuality; it's all meant to spit in the eye of traditional sex roles and practices, and reject anything traditional at all.
I'm gonna remind my Christian friends of the Temperence movement the next time they try to argue their religion is a bulwark against feminism.
I think the ancient Greeks had the best, most accurate philosophy of masculinity.
"We have castrated society through fear and intimidation. Its manhood exists only in combination with a feminine outward appearance. Being so neutered, the populace has become docile and easily ruled. As all geldings in nature, their thoughts are not involved with the concerns of the future and their posterity, but only with the present toil and the next meal." - HWR
youre a very interesting guy styx. congrats on 70K a bit in advance. love your show.
Can you do a whole video on postmodernism?
Too bad you only stuck to superficial looks on the subject. I was hoping from the title you would talk about more psychological aspects.
Long or short hair does not mean much. Ancient warriors had long hair, pioneers, people that lived in the forest, etc..all over the world. Hair, or lack of hair, does not make a person strong, tough, or a good strong worker. Hair means nothing. What you do is what matters. George Washington had long hair. Men, dont spend too much time on your appearance, dont shave your body hair, etc..dont let women mind fuck you into shaving your mustaches, I see a lot of chicks with fake mustaches, and trying to shame men into not having a mustache. This is because they want to take all the rest of your masculinity and destroy YOU!
Short hair and shaving came into modern vogue not due to temperance but due to World War I. Between lice in the trenches and the new reality of gas warfare, cropped hair and shaved faces became the norm (most gas masks require a facial seal to work, and facial hair gets in the way). World War I was an enormous enough event to influence culture in many ways; the wristwatch also came into popularity during this period.
War often influences culture. For example, from the late Victorian era through the beginning of WWII, a men's suit was generally understood to mean a coat, two pairs of pants, and a waistcoat or vest. If you went to any tailor or clothier in that period and said you were looking for a suit, that's what you would get. However, WW II led to shortages and fabric rationing, so the wartime/postwar concept of a men's suit changed to just a coat and one pair of pants, preferably with a longer but narrower tie to cover the exposed shirt front.
He doesn't know what true masculinity is, he keeps talking about the outer superficial things such as hair, beards, clothing and speaks nothing about what true masculinity is, such as the inner things such as standing for what you belief and value, speaking your mind and taking the blows
Using a standard of hair length from a 1000 years ago is not a very good excuse for your personal choice about it's length. As someone with much thicker, fuller hair than you have Styx, having had long hair in the past was a major inconvenience. Firstly, it never grew in right, it looked wild and unkempt, and I didn't like the way it looked on me. As some of my friends had long hair at a time when long hair on a man was in style, trying to keep up with a trend was costing me time in the morning as drying and brushing out the huge hair I had took a half hour or longer, time I could use for other, more important things. I didn't wear my hair short until I got into the military, and it opened up a whole new world for me. Gone where the days of spending tons of time in front of a mirror with a blow dryer and brush. Then, as I do now since I keep it short, just run a towel over it, brush it out once and I'm ready to face the world, and It looks so much neater that women seam to notice me more with short hair as opposed to long. One thing more, I do not get confused for a female from the back, as I'm sure you do more times than you'd like to admit.
Can't get enough of this guy at the moment.He talks true with common sense.....so far!! Keep it going fellah!
At 58, I don't have long hair because I have dermititis (Sucks). I had beautiful wavey long hair for a dude. Every girlfriend loved my wavey long hair. Then at 22 I buzz cut my hair because I was lifting weights and doing Kung Fu, getting in fights. Long hair was a weapon that can be used against the wearer.
Praise be to ODIN!
Live the warrior life to rise to Valhalla!
u have so much knowledge and speak very well....very easy to listen to.
You gonna talk about Trump not pursuing Hillary? Trump spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway confirmed this.
I've always really liked your hair and choice of clothing. Kek would approve.
Styx, when I was your age I was going for the look that you have right now. I did say cut your hair hippy but I meant it in jest. People who think your appearance has anything to do with your mental acuity are mistaken. I forgot that we don't know each other and you have no idea about my sense of humor. This is exactly what I mean to say, you take care and enjoy your life as you see fit.
It seems to me that the shaved head craze evolved from dudes with male pattern baldness that hated the way they looked. They would rather look like Mr. Clean than Bozo the Clown without makeup.
Mate, some of your old videos are gold
This has aged supremely well. Godspeed, Styx!
Short hair was probably related to the military. Of course the royals like the Merovingian had long hair. Its associated with femininity because long hair is associated with health and health for women is tantamount to beauty. Women who cut their hair are generally not considered as attractive no doubt because it implies disease and malnutrition.
From Plutarch:
2 Now the Abantes were the first to cut
their hair in this manner, not under instruction from the Arabians, as
some suppose, nor yet in emulation of the Mysians, but because they were
war-like men and close fighters, who had learned beyond all other men
to force their way into close quarters with their enemies. Archilochus
is witness to this in the following words:-
3 "Not many bows indeed will be stretched tight, nor frequent slings
Be whirled, when Ares joins men in the moil of war
Upon the plain, but swords will do their mournful work;
For this is the warfare wherein those men are expert
Who lord it over Euboea and are famous with the spear."10
p13
4 Therefore, in order that they might not
give their enemies a hold by their hair, they cut it off. And Alexander
of Macedon doubtless understood this when, as they say, he ordered his
generals to have the beards of their Macedonians shaved, since these
afforded the readiest hold in battle.
The only identifier of true masculinity is if you have a body like He-Man, if not you are just a girly man IMO. The man whom values bodybuilding, and or physical prowess is the TRUE man.
Thanks for another informative video. I traced my lineage back to 1608. History is one of my favorite secret obsessions.
Flyinsulcer Why is it a secret?
Rizimar That's just how it came out lol. I have alot of interests and have always tried to learn as much as I can regardless of the subject matter. I'm partial to history and the mindset of people throughout it.
Grooming trends are just scratching the surface of masculinity. Would like to hear more about this.
In some parts of Greece, notably Sparta and its colonies/allies, long hair was considered masculine because it was a symbol of being a free man. Spartiates were known to comb and style their hair with scented oils before battle.
Love it. Love your talk, love long hair, and I love long hair on a man who has both intellect and spiritual Gnosis.
Such men are always Masculine in the truest of ways.
I agree with this.
One small point though... I think you mean 'lice' and not 'fleas'. Fleas will certainly bite humans, but they will not infest human hair or take up residence on the body, as they would a cat or dog--- regardless of personal hygiene or length of hair.
So much happened in the late 1800s, especially that last decade. Good post, thank you for new info.
You have all the hallmarks of testosterone. Nobody could seriously question your masculinity. Besides, who wants a short haired domesticated wizard?
You say your name as war-wick and not warrick? In England the second W is silent... though to be fair more Americans drive me up the wall with their pronunciation of Johanson than Warwick. It's "yo-hanson" here instead of "jo-hanson", which is the Scandi form of the English "Johnson". When I went to Seattle one time the bus driver went past the Warwick Hotel and a piece of me died inside to hear "war-wick" - the second W is silent! Still I didn't say anything because I'm English and it would have been rude. If an American wants it to be "war-wick" in America then that's how it is :P
It is pronounced "war wick" in the states. Warrick, while related, is a separate surname pronounced differently. So is Warrock.
Mhmm, makes sense the pronunciation has drifted a bit.
edit - Actually I never heard of Warrock. I only know Warwick. Went there to see the castle.
Styxhexenhammer666 Oh by the way, the worst place name in England I ever came across was "Cholmondeley".
When you find out it's "chum-lee" it's enough to make most people rage-quit English - including myself, and I'm English :P
***** Mhmm, troll country :3
I also toured Warwick castle...Love all the ancient sites in England & Wales.Have traced my father's side back to 850 a.d.
Seems like people think masculinity is concept based purely on your physical appearance and facial hair.
And it seems like someone REALLY has oiled up Greco roman wrestlers on their mind...
I admire your physical presence. Back in the early 70's all the guys
had long hair, and was widely accepted as common place. Whats most
appealing about you is your extraordinary intelligence, wit, and humor,
along with your rockin' cool hair. My boys all had very long hair
growing up and free to be~ I was wondering if you can ever give your
thoughts on Olaf Jensen? Thanks.
Nope, the Romans had short hair and were clean shaven and were recognized in the provinces by that unusual trait. Short hair, for them, was a sign of self-mastery and self-control which were in many ways new concepts in the 3rd century. But it's true that once the Empire fell, long hair was the European norm at least for gentry. Generally speaking, hair is associated with sexuality and long hair with unbridled sexuality and sensuousness. I, personally, have always preferred it long on both men and women.
companies who sell razors and anti hair products love making their money. i love fuzzy wuzzy people.
I am Norsemen, long hair for a nord is the sign of power and a worrier. I am emulating a Viking.........................I feel closer to my heritage..
The fact that Styx can go from clean shaven to full on warlock beard in under a week is true masculinity. He kicked Movember's ass.
Holy shit! Man you are sooo interesting to watch; long past midnight and I'm still watching your videos :D love your content/clips! Can't wait for more! Please, keep up the good work!
I've always been attracted to men with hair your length. Why anyone would think of long hair on a guy as homosexual is beyond me. As we all know, usually only straight guys have really long hair. All the gay guys I've ever seen, have very short hair.
It seems to me male fashion should reflect whatever is most practical for combat. Long hair is less practical than short hair when you have to fight someone.
That doesn't mean that you just cut it though
True masculinity is strength, intelligence, resilience, stoism, morality, decency.
True masculinity means defending yourself and counter attacking when needed.
Styx is what every man should strive to be.
Styxx has very good content within his videos And I enjoy his reviews and opinions on videos.
Male hair styles are as much of a fashion statement as female hair styles. You could have it styled better so you didn't look like a homeless man, but you go ahead and do you.
youre a wizard bro, i get it. we need wizards. we also need warriors, you ever try to fight with long hair, that shit gets in the way
I love the variety of subjects you hit on. Here, you start out with responding to comments about your long hair and VOILA! You've managed to weave in a lot of history I didn't know about or some very interesting trivia. Good stuff! Peace...out.
Chivalry roughly translates to horseman. It never really existed as a code of conduct in the sense we understand it to be now, as romanticized by the Victorians. It is a poorly defined thing that more or less had to do with mounted warfare, and the responsibilities of a professional soldier to his sworn liege. The term knight itself is murky concept that doesn't even really fully take shape until the later middle ages when professionally trained heavily armored cavalry was starting to be broken down into two somewhat distinct but often overlapping groups, the pseudo noble feudal knight and the Man-at-arms (which itself probably never quite existed as a stand alone term).
Hairstyles varied at different times in the middle ages. The Romanized peoples of the early middle ages (even the elites) in Western Europe would be short haired and often clean shaven, in contrast to the "Barbarians". The Merovingian kings were distinct for their long hair among the Christians. Some historians theorize that Pepin "The Short" who is recognized as the founder of the Carolingian dynasty may be a nod to his length of his hair as per his lower status compared to his sons. The later Anglo-Saxon kings of England were long haired in contrast to their clean shaved Norman counterparts, who had arguably the worst fashion sense with their half shaved (the rear half) heads.
All true.
Your hair is badass, man. People may talk shit but I hope you don't let it get to you. If I could grow hair like that, believe me, I would.
it's the male lion that has long hair. The male peacock that has the plum.
Genealogy is always fascinating. My father is from England. My mother's father's family is Norwegian. Her mother's family mostly English, but also Scottish and German who were very early settlers of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. I could go into detail until the Conquest, but. And so due to my beard and long blond hair, my friends call me Thor. No joke.
When Marius created the first professional Roman army they made all the soldiers cut their hair and shave their beards. It was done for cleanliness, but it also imposed a form of discipline and took away their individuality. Being clean shaven came to mark you as Roman while having a beard was seen as Greek. I love history and this is a really interesting topic so I just had to add something.
Furthermore i would like to add that in a lot of traditions and times of the past long hair was seen as a sign of spirituality. Interstingly here are the biblical nazirites that were meant to serve their whole life as some sort of priests without ever marrying etc. . Or think about the vril women that never cut their hair once and were meant to stay virgins (which is a whole different topic).
Also according to my knowledge the hair shaving of slaves had also to do with symbolic and actual spiritual matters, basicly it was a sign that their spirit is broken so to say.
I lift weights, not to become prettier, but to become stronger. To me that is a masculine thing and not an aesthetic ideal I am trying to reach. To become stronger makes me feel like a warrior and I can do what I put my mind to. So there are many ways to use a gym.
Btw I am bearded af think that shaving ones chest hair, groin and armpits is beyond weird. As for hair, my body doesn't process testosteron in a way that makes me able to keep hair on my head, so I shave that down.
Factoid: They did the Olympics naked to make sure that no women snuck in.
I can trace my lineage that my primogeniture as it is the legitimate one back to the high middle ages to those landrobbing knights in Prussia which mixed with the local Prussen. Before that my earliest ancestors were those Germanic tribes (maybe Suebi? Burgunds? Franks? Cherusci? Teutons maybe even? I really don't know).
Learning about all of that in addition to my study of the classical to late classic period and later myths which originated in this time period really moved me to wearing longer hair, tied up in the traditional style of the Germanic hair knot, so it doesn't get in the way of my daily work, and a beard. I'm learning more and more every day and it really gave my study of history especially in that period a huge push.
I think knowing about your lineage, heritage and traditions is really important in this day and age and it can in many aspects improve ones own livelihood by adding a sense of pride which particullarily in German society is missing to a degree that can only be called the murder of culture, Kulturmord.
Agree with you on every aspect, but going to the gym to become a strong and big force of nature isnt a "unmanly" feminized thing. As long as you don't turn into a metrosexual Bodybuilder, there's close to nothing manlier than deadlifting and pressing tons of weight like a savage
I've known a few people who have naturally afro curly hair and were jealous of the fact I have long blonde hair.
I consider being able to grow straight long hair a blessing.
Hair (facial & otherwise) acts like cat-whiskers: the hair acts like antennae or feelers....picking up the more subtle energies from such things as auras, & the aether....
Ask & learn from any Rastafarian....
Now...if Styx suffers a serious head wound & comes back to life?...."un-subb'ed"!
Casmige hmm I've read of this but I very much doubt our hair is that useful.......
Fellow tall, long haired white guy here (my hair is similar to Styx's, but longer). This video was quite insightful and I hadn't considered some of the points.
My intention is to look like a Viking/rocker, something I may or may not pull off. Fortunately, I'm self-employed and free to look like a lunatic if I so choose.
I believe that men and women should strive to develop physically as well as intellectually and spiritually. Training the body has many benefits.
Personally, I grapple (BJJ, not Turkish wrestling) and lift. I do yoga too. I'd recommend all three for men or women (with the caveat that BJJ is best started young).
hmmm...interesting....how do you weigh in on the ford-chevy debate?
I'm also dying to know this.
Pretty sure it will be Chevy, anyone arguing the definition of masculinity will see the obvious superiority of chevy, especially the truck :P
Frank Colaianni he'd probably be Mopar as they have balls
The boys are on the corner
They're looking tough and bored
The great debate is raging
A Chevy or a Ford
And sometimes someone goes to far
And tempers will get frayed
And honour has to be upheld
When comments are made...

Interesting but your theory is not entirely true, as a historician I can say that long hair and beards in history of Europe were depended from particulars tribes. For example Franks believed that long hair have magical atributes. Vikings had beards but they had been shaving cheeks. Lombards had beards, although their hair were shaved into particular way. Long hair were not often because it interfered with the work or at fight (each example you can find into sources). I had long hair but I had to cut when I started to boxing. It was the worst experience when I went on my first training of boxing and my hair were covering my face. No way, long hair are not for fight.
u never stumble on ur words....u dont even have to edit your videos ...theyre just straight thru....very impressive.
My lineage, Scottish, they wore the long hair 😊
Oddly enough the Greeks talk about the Spartans having long hair and beards.
"It is a free ornament and easy to maintain."
Long hair on men is glorious as long as they don't fashion it into a "man-bun" on the top of their head and stare at themselves in the mirror for hours at a time.
Lol wow. Styx got his feelings hurt by mean comments on his appearance, so he made this video to respond. This whole video reeks of beta. Real men look how they want and do what they want. The people telling you to cut your hair are stupid, but so are you for attacking them for having short hair. Those who are masters of their lives don't need to justify themselves, that's a hallmark of a weak person who quakes with fear before society. I like most of your stuff Styx, but this was a terrible take. This is an old video, so I hope you've matured from these whiny beta arguments.
He never attacked people for having short hair, he was simply explaining the history that may be uncomfortable and hard to hear for those with short hair, because it goes against almost everything they had been told about short hair. He even said “Then again I’m sure most of you don’t go naked wrestling with the boys”.
@@mr.coffee5220 Except that's not accurate. Styx said it started in the early 20th century. Look at paintings of the American founding fathers or even people in Europe of the same era. Huh, they don't look like long haired barbarians, do they? That's way before the 20th century. Wow, looks like he's wrong. So either he's ignorant of the topic or he just picked an argument that makes him feel better about himself.
Styx has long hair because he's a Black Metal GOD!!!
All good points, historically so much of a masculine appearance in Europe was divided between various cultural drives. In Ancient Greece, Athenians had shorter hair, but Spartans had long hair. You see that same conflicted definition when the Celtic and Germanic tribes valued long hair as a sign virility, while the Romans saw short hair as a sign of masculine discipline and taciturnity. It is all fascinating and in modern times it all comes back into the fore.
" most of you don't oil yourselves up and go nude wrestling with the boys at the gym." speak for yourself, hippie.
"Your ancestors were drunks, ran around killing people on a regular basis, if they were soldiering. The knights in shining armour were land pirates that terrorized the local population into obeisance, chivalry is a myth" you need a citation here, Styx. Its unlikely that knights, while functioning as a policing force "regularly" terrorized and killed people as a show of force to get people submit. Sure, it happened on rare occasions, but a "regular" occurence? Not very likely. It's comparable to modern cops, isnt it? Protecting and serving are fairly chivalrous things to do, but we know plenty of cops are rotten to the core. But a majority of cops still do their best to uphold those basic tenets. No reason to assume the knights werent similar.
Not to mention long hair in general are basically a form of energetic antennas, theyr extensions of your nervous system, Intuition, stronger sense of spiritual connection & awarness of surroundings (it's been proven that people with longer hair are able to sense better,feel threat approaching from distance than a bald person, there's very good reason why people are shaved in army,prison,buddhism,religions,culture(figure that yourself)... And many reasons why it was a big thing in older cultures,life...
Each individual is more unique than we give credit too,from body,perception,thinking,sexuality,etc so hair-thing may apply differently to everyone... Personally i can say that having short hair, and long hair in terms of spiritual thinking,feelings,intuition,general sense of deeper & usual feeling is different beyond words could ever explain...
Hair are like wires,antennas,wires growing connecting to earth & environment. Again i just ramble,it's my personal experience, take everything with a grain of salt,experience,research YOURSELF never EVER take words of others at face value... I wish our hair would grow VERY fast, for me beard,mustache, body hair are nasty and a total waste of energy,compounds,nutrition i wish all of that would be used to grow our hair instead... :)
