I never pulled a girl's hair to show her I liked her, but didn't feel like this post was a massive slight against me because it didn't "see" me, because we all know that generalizations are fallible. There's a world of difference between this post and actually assuming every woman likes hairpulling. And it being a turn-off for you is just as irrelevant as it being a turn-on for me
I dunno, women's liberation is really important, but this seems like a reach to me

Neither is the second bit. >

This man doesn’t get sex >

youre a minor bro >

I have long hair, so I'm never sure if a girl likes me or if they just want to braid my hair. >

~~They like you dude.~~ Girls don't braid a random guy's hair no matter how long it is.
Source: Am long-haired guy.
EDIT: I forgot that people use the word "like" to imply romantic/sexual intent. Tragic state of language but it is what it is. >

False, some of us are really into braiding hair. As other girls won't let us braid their hair, we'll take anything >

yeah i can admire someones hair without being into it. I will not braid a rando's hair, but someone i know for sure! 
The hair doesn't only need to be long though, also clean. >

This is what I meant. I was using "like" as a friend. Forgot that this is reddit and people will naturally assume I'm talking about sex. >

Not once in my life have I seen a boy pull a girls hair because they like them. >

I did that. I remember one time where girls gave me some strands of their hair. I was barely 10yo. I got flashbacks. >

Yeah, I did that. 
Got my nose bloodied by the cute neighbor across the street when I did it. Later, she ran me over with her Schwann Stingray to show she liked me back. 
Good times. >

Schwann? >

Autocorrect thinks I need food delivered instead of the SCHWINN that I had typed in. I’ll edit. 
Nah, I won’t. >

makes sense >

On the other hand, a girl almost stomped my pp when I was in elementary while we were playing. >

I hate it when people tell a girl, "It's because the boy likes you" when a boy bullies a girl.
Don't make a girl think, "If a boy bullies me, he likes me."
Don't teach boys, "You have to bully the girl you like to get her attention."
It's not good for a girl or a boy. >

Yeah I’m sick to death of this narrative, it goes on to permeate & perpetuate throughout society, to greater disturbing levels. >

I'm having quite a laugh at these dumb redditors unable to comprehend what the OP really meant by pulling hair. >

I mean it's redditors, can't really expect much. >

And some girls ask their girlfriend to pull their hair instead (speaking from experience) >

So I am gay and have autism, so because neither if this was true for me, and because of my conditioning. Nobody wants me to pull their hair, and I have never pulled anyone's hair. There for, I am a statistical anamoly. >

Don't think a lot about it. It's not a rule just some people do it to make a physical contact, to flirt. >

Well seems OP is not the most experienced. Not all women want their hair pulled… Out of 15 bedpartners I’ve only had one that wanted it and it was a huuuuge turn-off for me personally. Blatantly stating girls ask boys to pull their hair if they like them, is quite sexist and shortsighted. You can’t measure every girl/woman by the same standards.
Edit: Google translated vrouwonvriendelijk (something like not very nice towards women) to misoginy which is actually hate towards women. My bad.
