do all men love long hair?

[Frank2thepoint]

To add my vote, I love short hair on a woman. For me it is a preference because its not just how it looks, but how it defines a simplicity about a woman. For my perception, it's a low maintenance, easy going nature of a woman that sports short hair. Plus it's really sexy because her neck and shoulders are exposed which personally drives me wild. In addition, as a bonus, short, curly hair is amazingly exotic and authentic to me. I'm mesmerized by it.

 

 

I love and keep chin length hair. I also love men with peculiar/unusual taste, because they are a lot more interesting for me. So it's win-win for me to keep my hair that way.

 

Oh yes, they are out there. From what I've observed, they are usually attracted by individuality, and perceive this kind of details differently than most - which I personally find a highly erotic trait.

 

Bestill my heart my dear short-haired Scorpio. My fantasies are running wild with such revelations. But you provided a very good example, at least for me. There is a certain individuality, something unique about a woman that has short hair. As I said above, it's simple but yet so attention grabbing and peculiar. There is also the confidence to be different from the majority, and go against convention. A woman with short hair, for me, naturally exudes this confidence, which I find highly attractive.

 

 

I resisted commenting until now because the long-short hair reminded me of an annoying ex and I generally prefer not to dwell on annoying people but I have to agree with you.

 

My ex preferred short hair over long because he had a thing about necks. So he wanted me to cut my long hair short I told him putting hair up in fact resulted in the same thing without me changing my looks completely for his preferences. He was quite controlling, didn't care all that much about individuality and I dumped him when it got annoying.

 

I'm sorry to hear your ex was so controlling about hair. I've heard many men that prefer their women to have long hair. Long, straight hair to be exact. Often times they make comments to the women in their life, how to present their hair. It's sad in my opinion. It's part of the reason long hair is ubiquitous, and short hair looks are in the minority, often viewed with displeasure for some unfathomable reason.

 

As I mentioned above in this post, short hair on a woman is exciting because of her neck and shoulders being exposed. It's erotic for me. So there are some men that appreciate this. I know I really do. To boot, I would never control a woman on how she wishes to sport her hair. It's her choice. I am attracted to the woman, her individuality, her uniqueness. Her hair is an extension of these qualities. Even if she went bald, I would still cherish the woman.

Hmm maybe it's just me, but that's not something I'd expect a grown straight man to say as a compliment....kinda weird.

He struck me as a particularly expressive kind of guy - which I like a lot, and sorely missed with my last boyfriend, so I liked it.

 

The point is that compliments from men about my long hair boil down to: long, healthy hair on a woman = pretty and feminine.

[Ninjainpajamas]

I had very very short hair for 6 years or so. Never had trouble attracting, or "keeping" men.

 

I wouldn't say that this is a testament to short hair or how irrelevant it is or isn't, they were just simply interested in you for one reason or another...whether they preferred short hair over longer hair is unknown, chances are they're dating women with long hair afterwards.

 

Men are also interested in "variety" so they don't necessarily need to develop a type, so women that are a little different, exotic, alternative or what not which is kind of a form of "exotic" but more-so intriguing can be perfectly OK to date...even women who are reserved and introverted can be enticing , men pursue those women too for being different.

 

For men I think it's simply not just one attribute over the other, I think women focus more on the individual attributes and features, but it's really just how it appears to the man, the entire package.

 

I have personally not known men to exclusively seek out short-haired women, but I've never met one either who said he wouldn't, you just don't hear men often speak out specific preferences. If anything some might have a feet thing or flavor of the week/month/year or even race thing, but never heard of a hair thing.

 

So whether it's a preference or not for some men, it's not something I've heard of...but when I DO hear men talking about specific preferences in women (not to sound contradicting but this is kind of a different theme) they're usually thinking about a specific woman they're quite attracted to already in their mind (celebrity or what not that) and using that as a model of comparison to some degree, so I get the neck thing that guys are talking about, I've noticed that too..so If I'm thinking of Sandra Bullock, hell I guess I prefer short hair too! at least to some degree.

Unless the man has a fetish, preferences are mainly irrelevant. Men will take what they can get in "their league." They may want Miss America but that doesn't mean she will want them.

 

These all-or-nothing threads are pointless in the real world.

[FitChick]

I don't like the over-the-top fabulous glam hair with a hundred different curls, highlights and off the wall hair colors that make you look like a doll with a wig

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Phoe]

Many men will have an overall preference, but will have moments when they find something attractive even if it's out of their preference.

 

A man may prefer long hair most of the time, then see a stunning short haired woman and realize how attractive it is.

 

 

Or, what they think they like, may change on a whim.

 

 

I've had exes who made wildly different statements about my hair from day to day "You should cut it. You should grow it. You'd look hot blonde. You should get highlights. You'd look hot with black hair. I think you might look sexy being bald." - ALL from the same man haha.

[Haydn]

Keep the colours.

 

 

I had very very short hair for 6 years or so. Never had trouble attracting, or "keeping" men. I am also in the beauty industry so I was getting $100+ haircuts every ten days. Plus doing my own color as needed, usually my natural brown with purple, blue, pink, green, teal, or platinum blonde.

 

I'm also "alternative" looking (whatever that means) so my hair was merely an extension of my personality. Now I have it long, wavy, and my natural brown, with a purple/blue fringe of course .

 

My H loves my hair, and I admit I'd missed it being long. I never blow it dry, so it's very low maintenance. We've discussed growing out our hair.for Locks of Love and I personally think it's a beautiful idea!! (Gotta.stop with the crazy colors sometime!!)

[Ruby Slippers]

I think the main idea here is that long hair on women is attractive to most men. Eau Claire pointed out that 95% of women in men's magazines have medium to long hair. Same thing if you do an image search for "beautiful woman", "hot babe", etc.

 

And if you search on "sexy man", "hot guy" - 95% of the men have short hair.

True but long haired rockers also have their pick of women so it's not always the case.

[Els]

I must be one of the few women who keeps mid-length hair (currently slightly above the bra line) partly for convenience's sake. I like being able to pull all of it up in a ponytail. I found a pixie cut to be quite inconvenient due to all the hair getting in my face, and I definitely wouldn't look good with anything shorter than that.

 

I'm tempted to go longer, since I'd like the way it looks, but damn that'd take ages to blow dry.

Interesting! That's the exact reason geisha pull all their hair up in a bun...

 

To boot, I would never control a woman on how she wishes to sport her hair. It's her choice. I am attracted to the woman, her individuality, her uniqueness. Her hair is an extension of these qualities. Even if she went bald, I would still cherish the woman.

 

Yep, yep, yep.

He was trying to be controlling about everything. It's not really relevant for this thread, I just wanted to bust the myth that men who prefer short hair somehow go against the grain or encourage individualism more. It's simply a preference, that's all. Meaningless in terms of character.

I've run across a few guys who like to de-sexualize their women especially in public and making her cut down her hair would seem to fit into that category. I guess they're worried about the competition. Kind of like that girl who likes to make her boyfriend fatter in another thread.

Initially I was going to dismiss this but yeah, there were a couple of other things that make me think you are possibly right. Anyway, water under the bridge. It was years ago.

[EasyHeart]

It all depends on the woman.

 

I've always liked long hair on women, but when I met the love of my life, she had a pixie cut.

 

Go figure.

[SomeHeart]

It all depends on the person.

 

I actually really like a bob haircut.

[juicygirl]

Not all men, but a lot do.

 

Maybe cut it to mid back length.

I recently did a major chop on my hair because I abused my hair for years with perms ,extensions and heat( now paying the price).

It took a lot of gut and confidence to rock super short hair, especially since long hair is seem as beautiful . Maybe some men think a girl with hair super short hair will look too much like a boy! And I get that some men are attracted to short hair,but it's just hair, it will grow back

 

I like my short hair, people can actually see my face and I have nothing to hide behind.

Wish you did, I like it better when we disagree. =/

 

On topic, in praise of long hair, look at how much better Miley Cyrus looked before! She makes me think of Marvin the martian now for some reason with the butch lesbian thing going.

[Bruce Leigh]

Sexiest woman I have ever known had shorter hair but she had the face to pull it off.

I always preferred longer hair until I met her. Now I quite like shorter hair, on the right woman.

[jonsnuh]

My experience in life is the vast majority of men like long hair. Flip through any men's magazine...95% or more of long to medium hair.

 

My sisters and I swear to each other that we'll never have shorter hair for the convenience. That sounds like being resigned to grandmahood. I intend to be a sexy hot babe into my 90's.

 

Long hair, dress or skirt, hint of cleavage, heels, moderate make up and quality scent. The more feminine the better. This has been my man magnate formula for the last 40 years. I still turn heads. If I want to impress my girlfriends, I'll make them chocolate brownies.

 

Note...our fashion magazines are aimed at women and not men. Those list of sexiest women barely register on a man's brain.

 

Although this may be true, I think my preferences are slightly different than just taking what fashion magazines say.

 

Most men might disagree, but I have found women with shorter hair work with certain facial features, and each shorter hair style uniquely paired and depending on many factors like body size, physique, lifestyle, etc.

 

Take Olivia Wilde for example. When she was in Tron, I thought it worked for her very well. It does give her more of a warrior/masculine presence, a bit of a boyish/pixie look. Not to everyone's taste, but definitely something for androgynous women to consider.

 

I do get the first impression that women with short hair are proud and are not afraid, or having this sort of moment to break from their shell. They want to be different, and this definitely attracts me to them, sometimes like a moth to a flame.

[lovebirds]

This is what I show my hairdresser when I get my hair cut.

 

When I first cut it short it was a break out of your shell kind of thing, and it actually gave me a lot of confidence. I don't even own a hairdryer and my hair was not that pretty when it was longer - and I did nothing (and did not know how) to it to make it look prettier.

 

Now I love it. It instantly looks good to me without doing much to it. I think it's hot. When I get tipsy I can't stop touching my own hair That spot in the back of my neck where my hair starts...

Oh dear. One of my favourite movies and one of the most gorgeous and timeless hairstyles. Extremely hot. Reminds me a bit of Audrey Hepburn's short hair phase

 

To name a few people with great short hair: Carey Mulligan, Anne Hathaway, and Charlize Theron.

yep those girls do make short hair look good, it really depends on the woman i guess and i have a bit of crush on Anne Hathaway and Audrey hepburn in her early years.

[Noproblem]

You don't have to do a major change, baby steps and see if you like it...

[learning_slowly]

It all depends on the face. Some faces look better with long hair, some better with short.

An example would be Demi Moore in g.i. jane. She looked good bald, but she looked better with long hair.

 

In contrast, I think Pink looks better with shorter hair.

[littleplanet]

The thing I've always loved about long hair, is all the different things that women do with it!

But I get the thing about low-maintenance, too.

 

And in between both extremes, are just too many variables to get all fussed up about.

I don't think I ever did keep time with a woman who didn't choose the hair length she felt comfortable with.

So that winds up becoming part of her personality.

 

But now that I think on it.....with each passing decade, the hair got shorter.....

 

Ah......I remember at one time back in the rockin' days - the hair on us both was almost the same length.
