dreads may look cool and all, but they get nasty (most of the time) and to me... it's almost like trying to put a big label on yourself saying "hey, i'm either a deadhead or phish head or hippy, i probably smokepot way too often, i love tripping onacid andshrooms, on top of that i probably can't get a good job because of my dreads, and oh, yeah, by the way cops: come right on and profile me in!" I just don't see the point, that's only my two cents though. I wish i didn't have real stuff to worry about so i could have dreads, maybe that's where i'm going with this.

they don't get nasty. they're clean and smell good. i have a great job and have never been harassed by any cops. i don't much care for phish or the dead. and i have plenty of "real stuff" to worry about.

what's the point? i like how they look.
My wife has had dreads for about 10 years and they say nothing like that. To me they say she is a proud black/creole women with much pride in a heritage of hairstyle that has been past down for generations.

I find myself interestingly attracted to blonde women with dreads.
Many years ago, there was a drummer for Babes in Toyland, and recently there is a very beautiful woman at a sporting goods store in Durango Colorado.
To each his or her own. The things I like may not appeal to someone else. I have my own list of "Gross" things. If I see you (OP), I may want to touch your hair. I've never gotten to touch dreads. I guess I need some edumacation.

I'd love to have dreads but.......1. I work in a medical setting and I know that my patients would much rather see a clean cut individual performing their test. 2. Cops do profile based on dreads. I've never been in trouble and I don't want to get into trouble.
I am envious of people who have them because they seem so free. I have seen some pretty nasty dreads in the past tho.

Yeah some people's dreads are nasty because that's how they got them (i.e. never washing/taking care of their hair). It's definitely not my thing, but if anyone wants to do it, and they can still hold a job, be responsible, etc...(like hairstyle has so much to do with it), then who cares? Unfortunately, we do live in a world where they will be judged and possibly profiled, but that's life, it happens to lots of other people for lots of other reasons, and I'm sure most people who have dreads are well aware of what they're putting out there with their appearance.

I lost heady point for stating the truth... i mean, i gurantee you that's what alot, probably most, people in the real world think, especially those that can lock you up!.... but it's cool, i'll just drop it now.
That's really lame that you got smited for that...I don't disagree that it's a bit gross, but to each their own. My whole thing is even though I personally don't like it, who am I to stop you from loving it?
honestly, i didn't really start this thread so we could debate the merits of dreadlocks. i just wanted to see if other dreadheads were going to be around, maybe meet a few here beforehand so it makes roo all the more fun.
clato, your wife's dreads are beautiful! you both going to roo this year?
haha, i know people with dreads will be there. i was hoping to meet some here to strike up some friendly conversation. but you guys are okay too.
superbek, how long did you have your dreads for? i brushed the tips of a couple out so i could combine them and it took foooorrreeeever. heh.
mofrohead, i have a friend with dreads who is a midwife and she doesn't get complaints about her hair. i also have a pre-med friend with dreads. it's possible!
and steel city, you can touch my dreads, but make sure to ask first!
eek! there is always the possibility i'll have to cut my hair for a job, but i hope that day is later rather than sooner. is it at least an exciting job?
rock the dreads twohills...they are sexy on you... nothing wrong with any of the dreadheads i've known over the years... they have all been great people
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo

It's not even really a job yet, but I'm applying for internships at law firms, which are still very traditional and buttoned up. My hair is to my waist right now, but I am constantly mistaken for a teenager, even though I'm 24. I mean I literally get laughed at by bartenders and liquor store cashiers sometimes, so I think I just need to look more my age to be taken seriously, and I know that cutting my hair up to my shoulders will help
