You are not understanding this simple passage my friend. Here is one quote that is explicit in it's explanation.
Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 11
To say there is not a custom of having shorn hair is to deny the authority of natural laws, or to deny this scripture has any credibility.

I think a possibility could be: they had to make Him more feminine... To discredit Him and make Him seem like every other culture's "god of love"... It could make sense if you remember the reason the Romans made the catholic church merge Christianity and pagan religions together. To create peace and what not...
here is the passage with verses 13,15,and 16 with it... I still think its saying that a man should not have long hair.
13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.

So will God save the homeless man who has hair down to his knees or tell him to cut his hair and then save him? I know what the content of this and it involves holiness. But what makes us Holy? Hair, dress, hygiene, church attendance, bible reading, consistent prayer, eating certain things, being polite? answer none of the above, It is our faith in the work of the Cross and not our own, that makes us Holy and righteous before God.
So I figure having long hair is bad for guys? What about the guy who formed the national motorcycle club The Remnant Sons? It's a Christian club my dad belongs too. This guy is also the Chaplin at the Allegheny County jail. Is he saved? Boy I am glad I wear my hair short now.
I only know of one organization that demands that men wear their hair short....I hope you are not one of them.

The NIV Study Bible notes on 1 Cor 11:13-14 "believers must be conscious of how their actions appear in their culture, in light of what is considered to be honorable behavior"
So in our culture today is long hair among Christian men bad? Not in the least bit. And as noted before our hair hygiene ect. Doesn't make us Holy

I quoted Adam Clarke because he worded it clearly, and he comprehends the scripture as it is written. Adam Clarke isn't what you are disagreeing with - it is the bible. That is what the bible says.
Don't get facetious about it. The only thing required for salvation is repentence. After you get saved, do you believe you should be obedient to the word of God?
If you think bible doctrine is based on custom you are sadly mistaken. What exactly, do you think Paul meant when he said that nature teaches us that? You tell me, how long has nature been around, and what custom of man does nature embrace?
