Downs rubbing off on AR?

[Dingus McGirt]

Josh Dobbs got his dreads removed - saying, essentially, it was time to grow up.  Now, AR has done the same.  I think it's a good sign of maturing - thoughts?

I'm not sure hairstyle is a good proxy for maturity, especially when well kept and taken care of.  

 

His hairstyle is about the 99th thing I'd worry about with AR.

Personally I pay zero attention to hair styles. 

Growing up there was so much drama with my Jar head father I left home at 15 and didn't speak to him for years.  I didn't like being judged so in turn, I refuse to judge

I’m 47 and have dreads. The last thing (I think) anyone would ever call me is immature. 🤷‍♂️

[MikeCurtis]

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter much…..

 

But

 

if you want to have more opportunities to endorse products…..  my bet is that the dreds should go

[RollerColt]

Interesting. Maybe the younger generations view dreads differently?

 

Some of the nicest, most honest, hard working and mature people I've had the pleasure to work with had dreads.

If it keeps him healthy I'm all for it.

Good comments from everyone.  Different perspectives.  I’m an old bald man…so I’m a bit jealous of those with good hair.

We are really reaching aren’t we?

[Smonroe]

Not sure if he was saying it’s time to grow up, or just wanted a different hairstyle.   
 

I still remember Edge getting one of his pulled out on a run, that has to be painful!

May have inferred the grow up thing...

Well, the OP says that Downs said he think's dreds are immature.  The actual quote would be nice to see, to the extent its an interesting topic.

 

IMO, too much vanity can be a sign of immaturity...or maybe another word to describe it better.  I'd say "too much" vanity can be measured by how much time, effort, and money a person spends to groom themselves to try to have a chosen look.

Why…is this even a topic or debate? Are we that desperate at this point for anything that we have to discuss a man’s hairstyle?

I love Homer's hair above  . This thread was so surprising, so I am having fun with it. As long as a player is great he could have a Mr T Mohawk for all I care

I like dreads. You just gotta be careful  when eating spaghetti that you don't eat your hair.

[JediXMan]

My dad and all my uncles are bald and both my older brothers as well. Somehow it’s skipped me but if I eventually go bald it won’t be a surprise lol.

No, the OP didn’t say that.

I get my haircut every 3 weeks, I get a no guard. I like the Military look where I barely have hair. It's clean, looks good, and feels good. No way could I have long hair, it would bother the crap out of me and imagine shampooing long hair Dailey. I don't know how women do it. I could never play football with long hair either, it would bug the crap out of me with sweating and opposing teams trying to grab it.

I don’t see how dreads equals a lack of maturity and cutting them off equals being more mature.  ???   
 

And I find it very disappointing to have this discussed in a community of mostly white men.   
 

I don’t mean to be a hard * but I don’t think this thread has been thought through.   It’s ok for Downs to say this, it’s his hair.   But for the rest of us,  I wish this thread would just scroll off the page.

Have you ever seen the band Korn?  All white guys with dreads.  They also seem pretty mature, especially now  days.  They are getting old
