Personally, I think mullets are practical. They allow you to have long hair without it getting in your way.
I like your 3rd option. I kept wondering exactly what type of fish that sounded like. Halibut? I've never had a mullet, but I've had a 'fro. My hair has always been naturally curly. When I was in high school and early 20s, it would grow into a natural afro. My friends called me "Link."
Oh, I don't know. Of the two examples I gave in the OP, I'd much rather date the woman with the mullet than the man with the mullet.
OMG, I lied. Apparently I did have a mullet, though it was called a "shag." This is me holding my little niece; she's in her mid-30s now.
Talk about sheep. The Fifties was when we were sheep. The females I knew all did the same thing. Same hair, same clothes, same shoes, etc. Strange behavior, now that I look back. Just look at how many different hair styles there are today. An interesting mullet, called the Jellyfish So far I'm liking this mullet. Still needs to grow just a little more. Longer on the sides, so you can pull it together in the middle in the back and have a thicker tail to work with.
I checked the no button but I’ve actually had several. When I lived in Florida, I would catch them with a cast net and fry them up but so far as having one on the back of my head, not yet but there’s a lot of unknown future ahead.
I don't like tattoos, piercings, jewellry, bling affectations like expensive watches, clothes ... in our Image and Material world... Yet, despite my desire to get a number 1 haircut I've had health issues making even a number 2 no good. So I've grown my hair for the first time in 4 decades. I just let it go and seems my natural is one of those Skullet Mullets which I like the look of. Yet time, tide and hair growth waits for no man with my Mullet. It's morphing into something longer which I wonder at my feeble age: "Could I even grow a pony-tail?" My daughters like this cavalier approach of mine urging me on to try something else new: faucet tube, Astrolomy, Tictac, Jeep Pea sss, Goggle, ... Maybe one day, I might have the Longest Mullet in my street.
