ask Sampson, the best theory I've found is that by "long" he means not fussed and done up like how women might do. I haven't studied this much, but it might have been a local cultural thing since Corinth isn't Israel.
society has made masculinity into something it should be. Esau and jacob, esau may have been tough and macho, but god chose jacob, we should remember that.
unfortunately it's all too easy to let cultural social standards of behavior influence behavior often in a negative way that isn't completely scriptural.
normal people aren't that picky and there isn't a ton about it in the bible. Of course that doesn't mean someone won't complain and start an issue over nothing.
Glad I have all I need any new ones are probably going to be muzzleloaders just because I don't want to jump through all the legal hoops they've put in place.
