Hairy buggers
My fiance and many of his mates have longer hair than mine, very often accompanied with a beard. He spent seven years working as a college lecturer (music), but still gets exactly this kind of reaction over his ponytail. He's been mistaken for a girl many times - once when he was younger and slightly less broad, some guy tried chatting him up before his mate pointed out "that's a bloke, mate", and sometimes we're approached by clipboard people in the street with the words "excuse me, ladies". He looks like a 6ft+ version of Tom Savini, and has a 42" chest. He says he'd make a shocking woman.

Some friends of ours nearly caused a car accident this way - they were just walking down the street, hand in hand, when from a car behind them comes the shout "LESBIANS!". Then the car drew level with them and noticed the bloke's beard,and nearly went into some bollards because the guy was so surprised.
