[QUOTE="lionprinceuk, post: 169278, member: 120"] Satsriakal, let me give you an insight into my experiences. Firstly, when I was a younger teenager my parents used to tell me to cut my hair because I wasn't looking after it properly, but I always argued and they didn't cut it. I can't remember if they were joking or not. Anyway, my beard has grown, and as I was growing through my teenage years, I heard more and more about uk sikh girls not liking the beard at least, and some the turban. This is especially true in the jatt community I come from. Anyway, I also went to India. Over there, a different type of thinking is coming out. Some females only want to marry sardars because the image of hair-cut boys is becoming one of junkies, druggies and skirt chasers and players. I mean, there is a big drug problem in Panjab over there. Now, for myself, the decision for keeping or cutting hair should solely be my own. I wear my turban as part of my punjabi culture, and even as part of indian culture. I am into bhangra music, so for myself bhangra and punjabi culture is totally pro-turban. If I ever saw the opportunity to educate the cultural importance of the turban to anyone in my culture, I would. Although people try and preach religious guilt, to be honest, wearing a turban in our culture doesn't require any ritual or religious commitment, and I don't really care who disagrees with me, because I am one of those total jatt kinda guys who wears a turban. Secondly, wearing a turban and keeping the beard, means that there's a less chance of getting the vigaraee-hoi girls for rishta. Although there are plenty of vigareeya (I can't think of a decent term to use on this forum)girls as well that go for Singhs, it still reduces the chance I would say. Also I can stand-up for turbans by wearing a turban, because, quite frankly, I am appalled at the attitude from some apnay, whethere the attitude is outspoken or just undercover. Anyway, as a citizen of the UK, the law is very favourable to the turban, so I have a "why not wear a turban?" thinking over here. However, I did get pressured into the beard tying thing. Still, by tying, I can open it up as well. Trimming doesn't allow that. I can mix into 2 sets of people this way lol. Also, I love the respect apnai young adults give me for wearing turban, like they feel proper cultural with me. [/QUOTE]
