My [half] brother amazed me. There's something in our gene pool that made us early starters when it came to growth and puberty.
All throughout school he was bullied, picked on and beat up because he was extremely short. When he was about 18 years old though he grew to be about 6'2" lol Even taller than our dad (my step dad).
I weighted 80 pounds in High School, I was so small. People used to ask me if I had cancer, was dying, had AIDS, or did crack lol. I didn't start growing until I was 15-17 years old. Now I'm a nice 5'5"

Here's a picture to put size in perspective :D

But good hair is likely to appeal to a much greater circle of people.

I phrase everything I say with precision.
There was no implication.
No statement of fact.

My hair is sexy. I am cute. My eyes are hot/gorgeous/awesome.

The ladies said those.

Oh yes, a very major one. "ahaha you're so funny!"

You were backing up an opinionated statement with equally opiniated support. Your implication that many people will like your lovely locks still stands. Many implies a significant number. I'm aware there is no statement of fact (impossible when describing one's own traits) and that your opinion is flawed, despite what you say.

Also, take what I say/type with a grain of salt. 'Long hair = good hair = sex for everyone' was an exaggerated point. If you had said 'good hair might appeal' as opposed to 'likely', I would've taken it differently. If you had said 'people who can appreciate hair' instead of 'much greater circle of people,' I would've taken it differently.

Insta-Bias. Just add opinion.

I hate to say this because everyone has lol but my eyes.
People love my accent, I live in South Africa but I lived in the Uk for 11 years so yeah . . .
Oh another one, you know when you look at old painting like victorian ages and all the women look the same. One guy said I had some of those features, Does that make me old looking???

Hera, when I think of women from the Victorian era, I think of poise, grace, class and modest beauty (except for the cleavage lol)
I would definitely take what he said as a compliment.

No, you don't get it. I use phrases like "I imagine", "many" and so on when I am not claiming something, thus what I said has no weight whatsoever. I wasn't arguing anything, I wasn't advertising anything or stating anything. It was basically just a post saying, "I think long hair is good and chances are so do other people, but disclaimer: this is just my opinion and I am not implying, trying to convince or stating fact whatsoever".

It's just that I use various wording to write that in a creative way rather than so blatantly.

So I did indeed say "good hair might appeal..." but worded it differently, and combined with the overall tone of my original post, that's basically what was meant.

Maybe you should add a disclaimer to your every post to show that nothing you say can be held against you.

EDIT
Btw, are you still in Russia, Merlock?

5' 10" isn't THAT bad (I think you know that), but I know a guy in my grade who SAID that he is 4' 10". That's what I call short. Does that make you feel better? I think he's the shortest guy I know

I have no problem with my height, I'm just a little below the local average. :) Except that I sometimes get teased for going for girls taller than me but that's just a part of the fun. :D

And damn, grasshoppa, how old are you if I may ask? Cauliflower ears are meant for 25+ boxers and wrestlers. :P

I dunno, no one has ever really complimented me on anything.

I like my hair, but that's probably just me. Most people just say I'm gay.

*sigh* people.

I've gotten the way I walk thing. Ears commented on once, that was weird.. They're pretty small and delicate. And smile, if I ever smile enough so that my dimple shows.
