Most guys have short hair and the ones that have long or longer hair are more than likely not going to play with their own hair. LOL…
1. Long hair gives the guy something to play with.
There is nothing nothing better than running your hands through your girl’s long hair. It just feels so good, especially if they take good care of it and it’s soft and silky…
2. Long hair on girls just looks right.
I’m not trying to say short hair is bad, because some girls actually don’t look too bad with their hair short, but for most short hair on girls just doesn’t look right, at least to me it doesn’t.
3. Long hair is sexy, but not all the time.
Here’s an example of the difference between sexy long hair and not so sexy long hair.
Sexy
(above)
Not Sexy

Dry frizzy long hair is not sexy at all. Curly hair can be sexy if it is treated well and if you have naturally curly hair. I prefer straight hair or just a little bit of waves, but permed hair, not sexy at all.
4. Long hair gives the guy something to show off on their girl.
Not every girl has silky sexy long hair, for the ones that do and have a boyfriend, I bet they’re boyfriend loves it, because when they go out other guys will be like damn he’s lucky to have a girl with such gorgeous long hair.
I can’t really think of anything else at the moment. I hope this helps all you girls that have long hair and whether or not you should cut it or keep it long. I know there are some guys that like short hair but I think that is a small community and it is not worth cutting your hair for someone especially if you like long hair yourself. I don’t know how, but most Asian girls have long silky hair. I don’t know how they do it or if it is just genetics…Maggie you are one of them.
Do you agree with these thoughts on long hair and attractiveness? In your opinion, what hair length works best on a girl ?
guest
definitely guys love long hair more than anything for some reason

#2 is so subjective. To you what looks “right” is different than what someone else might think looks “right.” I think #2 is just a little stereotypical about gender.

Hahahaha. The 4th reason is ridiculous. I’m pretty sure you could say that about any feature. “Oh man, he’s lucky to be dating a girl with such perky boobs.” I mean… really…?
guest
@steph@datingish - I concur.
I think it absolutely depends. Some girls don’t look good with long hair: its drags their face down and makes it look too oval: its honestly depends on the style of the cut and the head-shape.
“I know there are some guys that like short hair but I think that is a
small community and it is not worth cutting your hair for someone
especially if you like long hair yourself.” This sentence makes this post seem like a bit of a paradox. While the post-er is trying to say here that its not worth it to cut your hair for a guy if you like it long, and yet, its this whole post is basically insinuating that women should consider keeping their hair long for a guy… so should women be cutting their hair for men or not?? For example, what if I happen to have a BF and/or interest who *does* like short hair? The post-er would suggest not to cut it then and yet, since a large portion of guys (and thus, potential male interests) supposedly like long hair, I should keep it long… weird.

That’s pretty true about the Asian girls, at least it is in my case. My hair is really straight and fairly smooth/shiny.
guest
ANYWAY.
I have short, naturally curly hair and I look good with it. I actually think I look better with it than I would with long, straight hair.
This kind of thinking is dangerous because you have a lot of black women jacking up their hair with weaves and whatnot. Some feel the need to be desired by people who make them feel like they have to have long hair to be considered beautiful.
We should just love what we have.
guest
ugh i just cut my long hair and it seems that everywhere i look now , long hair is being rubbed in.damn you!!
lol
i agree with you. but short is just so damn convenient!! my bf hates it!

the very best thing about having long hair is that it can be cut and donated to Locks of Love *wink wink*
guest
I personally think that short hair is gorgeous on a lot of girls. Yet again, I’m not a man…
guest
What guy honestly looks at a girls hair more then boobs ^-^
guest
i think people should change their hair because they want to, and not just to attract a member of the opposite sex. so i actually hope this post doesn’t sway a girl one way or the other.
guest
way to insult curly hair…… The disgusting thing about that hair is the awful hair dye. Stick straight hair with split ends grosses me out more.
Men like long hair because it makes women look more youthful and feminine…. Not your lame reasons, do some research.
orchid / 145 posts
i have waist length hair and my boyfriend loves it =). i take really good care of it, and my boyfriend loves running his hands through my hair because he said it feels very soft and “feathery”. even though sometimes he tells me that my hair tickles his face when we’re lying together, i’m pretty sure my boyfriend would be devastated if i cut it short. however, i’ve had really short hair in high school and had gotten compliments from guys as well. so i guess not every guy prefers long hair? my dad, for instance, likes short hair on women.
having had really short and really long hair, i have to say that long hair does make me feel a lot sexier and more feminine. also, i think another reason why guys like long shiny hair on girls is because long hair is an indication of good health. from an evolutionary perspective, good health is linked to high fertility, and therefore, men love all traits on women that tell them that they are healthy enough to bear children (such as large breasts, hips, nice skin and long hair).
guest
@Kevin_is_a_pirate@xanga - haha you make a very good point
guest
LOL women as fashion accessories… gotta love it…
guest
or, as the evolutionary psychologists would say:
long and gorgeous hair = health/fertility = better babies.
guest
Long haired people have more fun!
guest
boys like long hair because they’re slaves to their biological programming LOL
evolutionary psychology & genetics says that long brunette hair is the most biological attractive to men (unless the man is a blonde/red head, and then they will be more attracted to another blonde/red head) all other preferences are culturally driven, supposedly
guest
Keep in mind that he doesn’t like curly hair and that’s just an opinion.
Unkempt hair on anyone looks gross, be it long, short, etc. I have long hair, and I rarely do anything special to style it–so I don’t have heat damage or anything. My boyfriend loves it and typically prefers long hair on women. I think, generally, it is more feminine. That isn’t to say that ladies that rock short locks are butch or anything–don’t get all offended. Some people wear short hair extremely well…and there are some who don’t. Just like some women actually look kinda stupid with long hair.
I cut my hair from past my breasts, once, to my shoulders…I can honestly say that I regret few things more than that!
guest
guest
I agree with goD_I_V_Aunc10@xanga . But, whatever, it’s your taste.
My boyfriend is a “hair guy”; he likes all lengths of hair on women, including mine (short and not-so-straight).
guest
hahahahah i like this entry
guest
I totally disagree. There are women that never look good with long hair. Long hair can easily take away from facial features and make a woman look frumpy. To make an older woman look younger, eight times out of ten, you can give her hair a nice trim. I think men believe (incorrectly) that short hair is too masculine. There are masculine cuts to be sure; however, short hair can be very feminine and sexy, so can long hair… but I think a lot of men (and women too) are just socially programmed to think short hair, masculine; long hair, feminine.
Oh and your reasons are subjective, stereotyping, and all around piss off the feminist in me, lol.
guest
you forgot how long hair flows in the wind. personally i think its just hair, nothing to be wOw about and quite frankly its known in society that girls should have long hair and guys should have short hair just like guys should never wear pink. theres beautiful short haired people as long as it has some sort of style and look to it and most importantly, fits your face. some people arent cut out for long hair cause it doesnt really accentuate their face/facial features or look. but whatever suits you.
guest
I personally don’t like short hair on girls and I’ve only met a few girls who can successfully pull it off, so I definitely prefer long hair.
If my girlfriend ever wanted to cut her hair short (we’re talking above the shoulders) then she has to let me shave my head. That’s the deal.
guest
I have long hair and I LOOOVVVEE ITT!! And most guys I have been with love my long hair. I personally think that having long hair is super sexy cause you can do much with it. When I go out I like putting it in HUGE curlers and having big luxurious hollywood wavy curls. Its like an accessory, It completes my outfit. I dont know what I would do if it was short…
And totally agree with the asian girls havin the prettiest shiniest smoothest hair
sunflower / 403 posts
Yah, I can’t tell if I myself like having long hair, the way I look with it, or because men love long hair. Long hair requires a lot of patience and careful grooming to maintain its health. Let’s hope guys are aware of this…
guest
one of my guy friends once told me he likes long hair because he wants it to hit his face when hes banging her lol
guest
I like long hair on a girl as long as it doesn’t get in the way of doing things. No, I don’t mean THAT, I mean like when she eats or when we play sports. Short hair is cool too, as long as it’s not punk rocker short.
guest
.. i was thinkin about cutting my hair short too.
mine is almost to my elbows.. i might just trim it a bit or something.
i think any type of hair look good, the hair doesn’t define the woman.. the personality defines her.
guest
these reasons are disgusting!
long hair, because it’s something to brag about and play with? do you have any idea how much EFFORT having long hair takes? it takes sooo long to wash, and hours to dry, because it is so unnecessary. thanks for making me happy i keep mine short.
i don’t mean to be offended, but it’s things like these, reasons that women may actually take into consideration, that make me downright furious. i am not your accessory.
guest
aha, I guess now I know why when I cut my hair short, my guy friends said they didn’t like my new haircut

This is just too much circular reasoning.

“Sexysexysexy.”

Most guys I have asked told me they prefer long hair. I use to have hair down the middle of my back and then last summer i got one of those bob’s but now i am currently growing back out because I miss my long hair. But my bf’s roommate told me he thought the short cut was cute but liked the long hair better.
guest
@PenaltyLife@xanga - my long hair compared to my short was extremely simple. I would wash it and blow dry it and call it a day. With short hair i would have to style it everyday in order for it to look good. I spent more time dealing with my short hair than I ever did when it was long.
guest
@goD_I_V_Aunc10@xanga - took the words right out of my mouth
guest
@PenaltyLife@xanga - woooo well put!
guest
I agree. I don’t have the best hair in the world, but I like it and my bf likes to play with it sometimes.
I will also add, long hair makes a girl look more feminine (not trying to offend anyone with short hair or anything, just that when I was younger some man mistaken me for a boy when I had short hair). From that day, I have never cut my hair shorter than shoulder-length.
I like long hair to about mid-back, but I always wanted to try to grow my hair down to my waist (haven’t been successful yet).
guest
i never understood why guys love long hair on girls. i mid length hair and sometimes it’s so bothersome because it’s so unruly. i think sometimes they should switch places with a girl with long hair and see how complicated it is to take care of it.
guest
@Kevin_is_a_pirate@xanga - lol amen
guest
i’ve heard that guys like girls with long hair because it reminds them of the women in pornos. i say that lightly and don’t agree.
i used to have long hair but i chopped 10 inches of it to donate (2x in 4 yrs). i’m currently sporting a short bob.
short hair can be just as sexy as long hair. it lets you show off your shoulders and collar bone, which i personally think is SEXY without showing TOO much. short hair reduces tangles, which can be an issue when you’re wrestling with your significant other; he doesn’t want to keep moving your hair away from your face. short hair can also be easier to manage; it is easier to wash, dries faster, and tangles less.
of course, it all depends on your cut and how it accentuates certain properties of your face.
guest
girls tend to think that any length hair can be attractive, if it works with your face shape and your features.
however, i’ve definitely noticed a trend with guys and their preference for girls with longer hair.
i’ve usually kept my hair fairly long (and straight), but sometimes i get these urges to do something drastic with my hair, such as perming it or chopping it off. when those moments come up and i tell my bf, he always tells me he prefers my hair long/straight. i really don’t know what it is.
guest
i have really long hair. almost touches my butt. i don’t do much with it, so i’m not going to say i fall into the “sexy hair” category, but i don’t think my hair is frizzy, so…

Weird. My boyfriend likes me with sholder-length hair. But… he told me that he wanted to see me with long hair so I’m growing it out this summer to see if he likes it
guest
I recently cut my hair short and I hate it. I cant style it anmore besides straightening it. Long hair FTW!
guest
Hair is hair…It grows back if you do decide to chop it off.
guest
I agreeee! i kinda miss my long hair. i cut my hair a few months ago trying to look like rihanna now i cant wait for it to grow longer.

I’ve had really long hair before, down to the middle of my back at least, and I loved it, but it is extremely high maintenance, especially considering that my hair is not naturally really straight or curly, but has a weird sort of wave so I always have to straighten it.
Anyways, once it gets long enough, I always cut it all off and donate it to Locks of Love. I love having shorter hair too, about shoulder length is short for me, but I hate the in between stage, which is what I’m at now. Gar!
guest
sad i cut my hair
guest
@PenaltyLife@xanga - kudos! i was pretty turned off by those reasons, too.
guest
I MISS my long hair SO bad. I’ve had it short since November & recently, I’ve been wanting to grow it out again. Thankfully, I pull off short hair really well, but I really miss my long hair. It’s easier to do hairstyles, it’s more feminine, etc. My boyfriend loves my hair either way, but I know he misses my long hair. It sucks when your hair takes so long to grow. Haha.
guest
well there’s more reasons but thats a few to start with
guest
i love soft silky hair!
orchid / 220 posts
Right. Because we all know that hair is the first thing men notice about women.
guest
I love both hair, they can be both beautiful in many ways depending how the cut looks like. Heck I even sometimes find the skin head hair cut on some women to be hawt as well.
However for myself, I prefer short (considered medium for a hairstylist’ term). Specifically, and mostly the mod bob hair cut. WHICH is a very feminine for a short haircut btw. Plus I love the way my neck looks, how it goes well with my dresses. I LOVE getting kissed on my bare neck as if the curtain has opened. If a guy doesn’t like it, he’s definitely no boy of mine.
My father is a loves short hair on women in general. He’s a unique guy, yes. XD My mom loves her own shortness, and she has been always happy to keep it that way.
I think in general though, people tend to turn their heads to a person of a clean, smooth and kempt hair of any style and shape that flatters them. It is as if they just walked out of a salon.

AHAH this is jokes.

I believe short hair is much sexier simply because it’s a rare find to find someone ballsy enough to cut all their hair off and ROCK it. Personal opinion.

ah now i miss my long hair. u should have posted earlier so i won’t regret chopping off my long hair LOL. If I were a guy too, I would prefer a girl with long lustrous hair with mid-length wavy fringe. I think they look really sexy haha. But most of my friends say I look younger with short hair and too mature with long hair.

@aroes_inthegarden@xanga - Yes! The beautiful thing about is that it grows back. I say do whatever you want : )

I’d have to agree with the rest that it depends on who the guy is. I have friends who love long hair on women, and think that short hair on girls makes them look more masculine. However, I have other friends who like short hair and prefer it because it makes the gal look cute. It REALLY depends on the guy.
I know for me, it’s such a pain to have long hair because mine is so thick, but in the end it’s worth it because I think it looks great down. I cut my hair short once – not the look for me.

@ELIZerson@xanga - It is something I have always wanted to do, but my hair has always been too short. I finally decided to go ahead and grow it out after my friend got hers cut and donated a few months ago, and now I have really been taking care of it (multivitamins, shampoo without sulfates, deep conditioning, you name it) in order to make it grow faster so that I can meet the min. 10 inches. I am almost there- hooray!
Also, at my college they do a St. Baldrick’s event every year, and I am thinking about participating in that next year. Lots of options for long-haired girls.
guest
@inspirasionz@xanga - Thank you, that’s why I was going to point out.

I think a person’s hairstyle should fit their personality. Mine is down to my waist, and it suits me. I play in a band and I find my long hair is an excellent stage tool. I get told I look like a character out of a fantasy novel, and that’s cool, because I really like fantasy, and I am an aspiring rock opera composer, and most of my music is fantasy related.
But my hairstyle wouldn’t necessarily be right for someone with a completely different personality from mine. A know a girl with a buzz cut, and it looks great on her. It suits her personality. I’d look ridiculous with her haircut, because it’s just not me. She’d look ridiculous with mine.
guest
lol some of these comments are ridiculous… He did not say for you to trash the way he thinks he asked what you thought was beautiful he is allowed his own opinion… sheesh get over yourselves. We all have our personal preferences… we will never all agree.. hince personality. People are taking this wayyyy to personally.
guest
I agree with this post. I’ve asked this question to my male friends and their answers were pretty much like #1 and #2…..I feel that #3 is very true…just because it’s long doesn’t mean it’s sexy. I think it depends on the texture/type of hair you have (frizzy – dry..not good) and how you take care of it. I think there are a lot of girls who look great with short cuts….I’m just not one of them.
guest
I love this entry. My hair used to be long and blonde, down to my waist, but it’s now to my bra strap because I bleached it too much. I’m trying to grow it waist-length for my wedding, though.
My man loves my long hair, and it makes me feel feminine and pretty, even though I am usually in camouflage and ride a motorcycle. I’d feel so butch with short hair because my personality is so masculine.
guest
my bf loves my hair long. I like long hair too, he thinks short hair on girls makes them look stereotypically “lesbian.” I don’t mind the “mommy” haircut on middle aged women, I think it’s appropriate. But I hate when Nick on TLC always cuts the women’s hair too short (he is SO scissor happy.) Sometimes their hair looks better coming in than when the makeover is done.

i’ve always wanted long hair! its getting there
guest
i can’t physically have very long hair. Right now it’s just past my shoulders and it’s getting to be risky business because I have thin hair, so the longer it gets, the more it weighs down and I just look like I don’t have much hair at all.
Oh well, I guess I’m not sexy.
guest
i’m going to sound so slutty right now, but my boyfriend loves me with long hair because of the “hair tunnel” when i’m on top…
guest
I disagree with this entire entry.
guest
I think girls with longer hair generally seem more attractive to guys because of sex. Her hair flowing freely, all that. Not that I’d know anything about that urge because I’m a girl… but that’s always what I’ve thought.
guest
I have hip-length hair that is blond, curly, and and generally so messy and/or frizzy that I look like I spent the night in a ditch. I don’t see what’s wrong with the second picture. Cave-Girl hair is where it’s at.
guest
wow, seriously? this is a crazy generalization about what men like. i know a lot of guys who love short hair. and if you can’t tell by my picture, mine is extremely short and i love it. i think that girls should wear their hair however they like it best. different haircuts fit different faces. it depends on your style, hair type, and face shape. not everyone looks good with really long hair.
guest
whatever length looks good on the girl is the one to go with.
guest
My boyfriend and my best friend both prefer short hair.
guest
I used to have long hair but I get bored of my hair alot, so I ended up cutting it to shoulder length often and growing it and repeating so on. But I can’t stand people touching my hair, ever since I can remember I hate it. Before I had my hair dreaded I went to the hairdressers once every 2 years or so and didn’t let anyone touch my hair. Yet now it’s dreaded it is no longer off-limits; I have people stroking it, rubbing it, shoving their face in it and even pulling it in some cases (by a teacher no doubt!)
I agree with the comments that when it is well kept people should show it off and smooth hair feels lovely, but I think that’s one of the reasons I keep mine short and not smooth – to try and disuade possible ‘feelers’
guest
Men find long hair attractive because of primal hardware; shiny, long tresses are a sign of health.
guest
i like short hair.
guest
I love my hair being long, when I straighten it anyways.
guest
Hair doesn’t matter. Yeah, it can look nice but it just doesn’t matter that much.
guest
obviously this is all a matter of opinion.
i have medium-length hair now, trying to grow it out just for fun/a new look, but when my hair was short i got tons of compliments on it. i had a couple guys tell me “i don’t normally like short hair but it looks really good on you.”, and a couple who mainly only liked girls with short hair! also, punkier/rock guys don’t seem to have such an issue with typical feminine ideals, and don’t seem to mind it (the type of guy i normally would date). i think it all depends on the guy, and the girl, and the hairstyle, and so on. it’d be pretty boring if 99 percent of girls were just walking around with long flowing hair just to impress boys. boring indeed.
guest
I find this whole thing extremely subjective. This is all based on opinion. Different things look good on different people. And different people find different things attractive.
guest
I don’t give a shit what men prefer. I prefer my hair short, and that’s the way I’m keeping it until my
opinion changes. Right now, it’s up to the nape of my neck in the back and about an inch below my chin in the front. Oh, and it’s pink. I love my hair short, and long hair on me just looks odd. I’m 5’2″, so it makes me look shorter.
By the way, reason number four is just ridiculous. You can say that about any feature.
guest
@PenaltyLife@xanga - Took the words right out of my mouth.

my husband actually prefers when I cut my hair. At least, he always seems to react very positively to a haircut.

guest
@ELIZerson@xanga - i have. its an AMAZING feeling.
guest
i also agree with goD_I_V_Aunc10@xanga because for most black girls to have long hair that is smooth and doesnt break they have to get weaves. and its hard for a guy to run his hands through a girls head when its full of tracks.
guest
i have waist length wavy hair and i love the way it looks on me! i have broad shoulders and i felt like a she man when my hair was shoulder length – i like it long! it does get to be a pain in the summer cause its so hot ad humid down here in the south, so i keep it in a bandana or a clip. people are always trying to play with my hair!
guest
@Imnotcrazyjustinsane@xanga - lmao, i totally agree!
and as for the above reasons – well, they’re this guy’s opinion. i’ve heard that most guys like long hair, but there are always exceptions. some guys like seeing a girl’s neck, so they prefer a woman with short hair/woman with her hair up a lot of the time, and also some women who have long hair tend to hide their faces with it, which, i suppose can be good or bad depending on what they’re trying to hide? (not talking about their attractiveness, talking about bad skin, mostly) anyways, those are just a couple of examples on why a guy would want a woman with long or short hair. it really is a personal preference, imo.
guest
To each their own. But guys are just naturally attracted to long hair on girls, what can we do? I miss my long hair though. I can’t believe I cut it short and chemically straightened it. I cannot wait for my long, wavy hair to come back to me!
By the way, #4 is just ridiculous. A woman can be envied for more than just long gorgeous hair.
guest
Hmm, long hair as something to play with, just looks right, attractive if well-cared for, something to show off…
I had a border collie like that once.
guest
i love my hair (it’s long~) <3
guest
I have always liked long hair on woman more than short hair. I have a friend who had short hair for years and always wondered why she had problems getting men. I would always tell her it was the hair. As soon as she grew it out out six years of fighting me, men were crawling to get her number. My girl has somewhat short hair and it is sexy but I always love long hair more.
guest
FALSE!!!
guys looooove short hair as well!!
they think its flirty, hot, sassy, sexy!!
it doesnt matter what kind of hair you have, it depends on what kind of person you are!!
you can have great hair and be a boring girl and he won’t like your long hair
so girls donttttt grow your hair out just bc of this post lol, style your hair the way YOU like – what YOU think looks good – and what makes YOU feel sexy and femine…long hair is sooo last season havent you seen the magazines?? celebrities are rockin the shortness
guest
I should show this to my boyfriend, he’s the only guy I know who prefers short hair on girls… Too bad I prefer long hair on me.
guest
@MimleFruits@xanga - Yes! Haha most guys are just wired to be drawn to voluminous, shiny hair by evolution.
They can’t help but be attracted to it.
guest
Wow, we’re keeping long hair for the guys now?
guest
I think my boyfriend was completely turned off when I cut a foot off my head. Of course the hair was donated!
But, I’m never doing that again. My boyfriend loves my beautiful long hair :]
guest
I could never grow my hair long so for my senior prom I decided to get weave. I hated it. Everyone thought it looked nice but preferred me with short hair. I recently cut it shorter (kind of like a rihanna cut) and everyone loves it and so do I. I still wish that I could have long hair but I know I wouldn’t be able to tolerate it. I absolutely love styling my short hair. You can do more with it than long hair =)
guest
Shorter hair looks best for my face shape. I could give two shits wether or not someone else thought I would look better with long hair. And short hair is WAY easier to manage. I have curly hair, so long hair on me is a battle every day. =]
guest
I’m such a wiatch. I’ll cut my hair short just to spite sentiments like this. Heck, sometimes I cut my hair just to have a change. I figure men will holler at me no matter what. They may prefer long hair, but truth be told, as long as the lady keeps it well-groomed, men will still try to talk to her.
guest
I think most guys would agree though that Posh Spice is one of the sexiest people in the world,
and she has short hair.

I’m a girl, and i still think she is. haha.
guest
I think short hair on the right girl is really sexy. Long hair is nice too, but I’d definently go lesbian for a cute girl with a sexy pixie cut.
guest
ive always had long hair, but its not as long as it used to be
In the Middle Eastern culture, it is one of the key things men find attractive physically.
guest
This makes me want to ask the SO if he likes my hair, which is ridiculously long ftw.
guest
Excellent and spot on. Especially number 4
guest
I think the more baffling question here is, why do some women like long hair on guys? I never have, never will and can’t figure out why some women do.
guest
ohh so true. i think its just that for the most part guys dont want a girl with the same style hair as them
guest
girls love guys with long hair. or that’s what i tell myself.
guest
My boyfriend loves long hair…mine comes just above my waist. Its a pain sometimes but I love it when its smells so clean and is shiny and silky.
guest
What you say is true.
But I also think that it depends on the guy.
Some guys like it short and some guys just don’t care about the length.
I had short and long hair throughout my life and my boyfriend is the type that doesn’t really care as long as it looks nice.
When I had short hair I looked more asian. My boyfriend likes it when I layer my hair
When I had long hair…um…not sure what to say. My boyfriend also likes it when I grow out my hair.
So basically it depends on guy.
But what you say is true, my boyfriend always runs his hands in my hair and he always makes my hair messy.
Great post!
guest
Eh? I don’t know. I find short hair sexier though.
And I’m not even a man.
guest
I think long hair is just what everyone is brainwashed to love on females. Women are supposed to grow out their hair long in order to be a prize for men.
guest
It depends really, some girls look amazing with long hair, some look amazing with short, I think hair for girls, is a way to express themselves it can tell you a lot about them. For me I like hair both ways, but even after this post I can’t understand completely a guy’s love for long hair, maybe girls with long hair just come off as more feminine?
guest
MY HUSBAND PREFERS LONG HAIR. HE GETS MAD IF I TRIM TOO MUCH OFF. I DO THINK SOME SHORT HAIR STYLES LOOK REALLY GOOD AND SEXY THOUGH. BUT NOT ON ME, MY FACE AND BODY DOESNT FIT WITH SHORT HAIR.
guest
i agree with MissPixieGlitter@xanga .
guest
Long hair makes a girl feel sexy. . . I felt (whatever the female word for ‘emasculated’ would be) when I got my hair cut just above my shoulders. Big mistake on my part.
guest
What I’ve learned in school (bio & psych classes) – long hair subconsciously signal fertility.
Think of it this way: your body (or her body) is so healthy and has an abundant of nutrients to the point that it can “waste” it on “extras” such as hair, nail, and teeth. With hair and nail being the least “essential.”
It’s all subconscious.
guest
Just because they are beautiful.
guest
This is RACIST. black women can never have long silky hair… but oh, you are going by the white standards of beauty, right? ugh. People are so damn ignorant its not even funny.
guest
i have medium length curly hair. My boyfriend loves it. He doesn’t exactly run his fingers through my hair but he plays with my curls and definitely smells it A LOT. he loves the way it looks on me.
You’re wrong in saying a couple of your points.
guest
I guess long hair makes a woman look more feminine.
guest
Yes!!! defiantely!! men love long hair.i am happy u admire long hair. i cut my hair from to my waist to above my ears. it was cute and people liked it but i will never do it again. i love my long soft silky hair. it is now to the middle of my back and my man likes it so much better than when it was short. he wraps it around his hand giving it soft tugs when we make love and when i give him head he runs his fingers thru it.i think its hott!!
i love my hair and honestly long hair is so much easier that short hair.
guest
My bf loves long hair and it has to be straight too lol Needless to say I wouldn’t look good in short hair and I rather have it long and naturally curly. Straightening it everyday is a drag and unhealthy.
guest
You seem really ignorant… I have long hair and I’m going to cut it really short next week. It’s a pain in the ass, and for me hair has nothing to do with impressing guys. A guy should be interested in PERSONALITY, not appearance. Obviously a person should have good personal hygeine and take care of his or herself, and it’s understandable to have a thing for long hair, but saying that all guys like long hair and giving the reasons for that is just stupid… I know plenty of guys who like girls with short hair or who don’t care whether a girl has short or long hair.
But it shouldn’t really matter since you’re clearly not the type of guy I would want to have anything to do with anyway. I like guys who aren’t shallow or sexist, and who know the difference between their and they’re.
guest
Long hair IS sexy. If it looks good and is taken care of.
But short hair looks even better on some girls.
My friend, G, has a boy cut (the CatWoman/Halle Berry type) and she looks so gorgeous (and bad ass) with it.
My friend J, looks average with long hair, but with her short hair (bob) – she looks sooo good.
My hair’s length just touches the top of my shoulders. I don’t know if that counts as “long”, but I used to have hair down to my waist, but I think I look better with shorter hair.
I heard that men like girls with their hair down cuz it gives them an idea of what they look like in bed. >.<
guest
@aroes_inthegarden@xanga - Soo true! But after this next round of cutting my hair for Locks of Love, it’s going back to super long, I miss it too much!
guest
I just cut my long hair

I have ridiculously long and amazing hair, and everyone loves it. Especially my boyfriend.
guest
ahaha, i like short hair on me. oh well.
it’s easier to deal with, especially with cross country and track.
guest
Oddly enough I started getting more attention when I cut my hair, just above my shoulders. Before that I had long hair past my waist for years, then I cut it up to my mid-back, and now, well, it’s more manageable and apparently attractive? I want to cut it shorter though. I don’t care if guys find my longer hair more attractive.
Men love long hair on women because it’s feminine. And men love “feminine.” Or at least what has been perceived as feminine for generations thanks to society.
guest
Yeah, definitely depends on the girl.
And if the girl has really thin hair, short is best because when it’s short it gets a little more volume.
(depending on how you cut it)
Example: my friend has thin but silky hair and when she got it cut short (and a tiny bit layered) It looks like it has more volume and very nice. :]
guest
My husband digs my long hair. I dont know what it is… hes just a big fan. :]
guest
Well honestly I think at times I look better with short hair and the guys love it. I do like myself with long as well. I look good with both in my opinion.
guest
Hair is just protein… I mean it is what it is and I know that is obvious but sometimes we need to be reminded…
guest
i love my long hair….ive cut it a few times but i always end up missing it…and i get LOTS of compliments when i leave it long. and i have that natural really curly hair and I take care of it and the guys think its cute and sexy.
guest
I honestly think men just like long hair because it has been in the media as sexy and attractive for decades.
Ignoring the media’s influence, long hair has an attractiveness similar to boobs – it’s something they don’t have and they want it on their lady friends.

@xperlerare@xanga - There are some girls who really do rock the short hair look.
guest
I love long hair on girls. That being said, I know that different faces are better accentuated by different hairstyles – long hair doesn’t work for everyone. I also understand that having long hair requires a ton more effort to maintain than short hair does.
But… I do love long hair on girls. Can’t help it.
guest
@doLc3@xanga - I Love short/shorter hair on a girl, and I’m sure you look fantastic!
guest
I’m obsessed with growing my hair long but I have to say, what a dumb entry! Sheesh. Some ladies look a lot better in short hair, my sister is one of those people. I always wished I had the guts to go short, more power to those girls! Beauty standards differ with each person anyway, I know lots of guys who LOVE short hair on girls, and I happen to love long hair on guys. Stereotypes suck, don’t they? =)
guest
Dumb reasons, obviously.
guest
@xperlerare@xanga - And I LOVE short hair on girls, and you truly do ROCK the Look!
And I bet you look totally awesome with extremely short hair !!!
guest
I have long hair and my boyfriend loves it because it covers the top of my breasts just a tad and it drives him crazy.
guest
I am a man, and I have very long hair. Every girl I have dated has had shorter hair than me. I just find that kind of funny.
I do prefer women with long hair, but many girls can pull off the short hair look as well. It just depends on the girl.
guest
I think its a form of control.. LOL

totally agree
my boyfriend LOVES my long hair. and I’m careful to maintain it so it’s always shiny and silky
he says its awesome to touch and I did feel that he liked showing it off too, whenever we go out and I tie it up he asks me to let it loose
guest
Haha. Aww.. I miss my long hair
lol.
guest
I do love long hair, but I do prefer short on some.
@melllyyy@xanga - My gf just cut her hair really short, she told me it was more convenient haha.
guest
i have short hair and i love it. its ‘unique’
guest
I have long hair. But I getting pissed off by it! How much time spent on taking care of it is exhausting! I might be cutting my hair short when the heat is too intolerable =.=
guest
*yawns*
guest
i’m asian XD and i love my hair
guest
Actually,I think woman with long or short hair have the different of beauty.Maybe people think woman with long hair are soften.Woman with short hair just like boy and sporty,I guess.But I don’t think it’s important since it just about the image.
guest
girls with long hair = girls with nice body shape
guest
Seriously? The only reason you think long hair looks “right” and short hair doesn’t look “right” on a girl is because you’ve been brainwashed by the culture to accept such narrow-minded gender roles and to reject anything that doesn’t fit into those gender roles. I happen to like all sorts of hair lengths and hair styles on girls, and it sickens me to see gender stereotypes like this being taught to others.
–Skyler
guest
I think mid back is a good length. Soft, wavy straight easy to run your hands through is the best probably.
guest
It’s something to pull during sex, also…they like the way it feels against their body…and other parts.
they imagine it all spread out around her face when they are in bed. And in many cultures…it is a sign of feminity. A guy who digs girls, gets culturally programmed to go for something considered feminine.
but the pulling during sex…I think it’s mostly a biological thing…like you see cartoons of cavemen..I think there is something to that
guest
Nothing suits a girl better than what makes HER feel comfortable and confident.
guest
I like long hair. I mean, sometimes my long hair is too much to keep up with, but most people say I should keep it long. I do indeed have straight long hair. Girls with short hair tend to look more younger. With long hair, there’s many hair styles to go along with. Ect. xD
guest
oh man i dunno
atm im lovin short hair
it turns me out
especially teh rihanna kinda thing
like DAYUM
sighhhhhhhh
sxc short hair omgdroooolss

LONG HAIR <3
guest
my boyfriend wants me to grow my hair. but since i cut it short before 4th grade it has never gone past my shoulders. I dunno, i like my hair short. it’s hard to grow it now.
guest
@xperlerare@xanga - yay for short hair! yours look very nice.
guest
I have long brunette hair, and my boyfriend likes it. Tho it would be alot easier if it were short. But it’s true that long hair makes you (usually) feel more feminine.
guest
Gods design is for the woman to have long hair thats why it is so beautiful
guest
hhhhmmmm I have extreme opinions on this. I find it interesting that you have such shallowness about you but since we’re in this together let’s rumble.
Of course, me being older I have shorter hair. However I had periods in my life when I had very, very long hair. I really enjoyed it, felt sexy and had fun styling it different ways in updos and braids. I was a nurse and leaving it ‘down’ was not an option. I always kept it up. Then it was down for the fun times. It was long, straight and always looked good with tons of compliments and wows and I usually turned every head in the room.
Then I started cutting it as I aged and now I keep it pretty short. It’s important to just keep it feminine looking, healthy and soft.
As I became older my quality of hair and my patience keep me from growing it out. For one thing I have a ton of hair with the ponytail about 1.5 inches in diameter. Drying it takes for ever. The bathtub drain fills up with it. It falls into food preparation. I have kinks where I don’t want it. Keeping it up, too heavy and stresses my arms and shoulders.
Unfortunately I’ve had an ongoing discussion with a gent who has a thing about hair. He can’t get past the fact that I keep it short. I say he’s missing out on ‘me.’ Ha! Not going there. Where would he be when my bathtub drain clogs up?
Time is too precious. Now i’m rambling but you got me started.
guest
haha. kinda true in a way, but some girls do look better with short hair. but nothing beats a long silky wavy hair
guest
lol wtf
guest
i’ll never cut my friggin long hair for i feel insecure without it.
guest
I prefer girls with moose hair.

It’s simple why guys prefer long hair…
By dating girls with short hair, it’s as if they’re dating guys.
guest
“…it is not worth cutting your hair for someone, especially if you like long hair yourself.”
Shouldn’t it work both ways? It it not worth having your hair long for someone if you prefer it short.
guest
this sounds a bit fetishistic to me.
not that that is a bad thing, by any means,
i just came across it somehow, and would like to say that is my honest opinion
and the first thing that came to mind.
guest
@Kevin_is_a_pirate@xanga - oh boobs.
guest
I have long, straight hair that goes passed my knees. I never straighten it because it doesn’t need it. I never curl it because it takes too much time and I don’t like the chemicals and the heat and whatnot damaging my hair. I never use gel, mousse, or hairspray. I wash, condition, and brush it. And I let it air dry. Blow dryers are damaging as well. I have very few split ends. I don’t even trim my hair. People rant and rave about how healthy and beautiful my hair is all the time. Every boyfriend I have ever had has loved my long hair.
Now, I think short hair looks great on some girls. Not everyone can pull it off though. You have to have the right look and personality for some short hairstyles. To me, short haircuts seem to represent attitude (not a bad attitude).
guest
I dont see why a woman should choose her hair style with the sole purpose of pleasing men.
guest
@bananashana@xanga - Hahaha.

This entry is ridiculous as well as poorly written. (And that’s coming from someone who has shiny, straight, long blond hair.)

@MICHELECANNON29@xanga - Lucky you! If my man told me what to do I’d tell him to go fuck himself.

yea my bf wants me to keep long hair again,i cut it since las year in MAY,since then im addicted in having short hair and mostof my frens cut short ahir after that!:)
i just feel more confident with short hair because too many girls with long hair.My long hair is not like others girl,mine is too messy and i hate it !
Damn,i gotta grow long hair cuz of my bf
h
guest
I mostly think men like it because long hair is in fashion now. There was a time (think mid to late 90′s) that short or bobbed or short hair cut on an angle was very “in” and men liked that back then. We’re just all culture victims! btw i have very long hair now and wouldn’t cut it short for the world.
guest
i had medium hair but i hado gt it cut cos i going away to a hot country soon and my parents wanted it cut. however i do feel alot of my male asian friends seem to go for girls tht have loger hair. ur blog really helped lol
guest
my hair is more than halfway down my back and guys definitely love it. i’ve been told i have sexy hair!
guest
this entry made me not want to cut my Long hair. ugh. :]]
guest
I’ve always had the short straight hair with the fringe bangs since I was around 11. Till then I got tired of it, so I decided to just let it be. And now it’s pretty long and I like it that way! ^-^
guest
anytime you examine attractiveness you have to look at genetic legacy. Hair is the original medical record. LONG smooth silky hair inidicates good protein intake and general body maintenance.
guest
I had this really long hippie hair that went down to my butt, and it wasn’t like extremely messy and frizzy, some of it was curly, some of it was straight and I never brush it and it just kept its volume and shape.
My boyfriend at the time loved it and when we broke up I cut it up to my shoulders… Biggest mistake I’ve ever made. I miss that hair so much.. ):
guest
Yup yup yup and yup. I can’t agree with you more. I ask my girlfriend NOT to cut her hair without having an intellectual discussion about it first
guest
Long hair on ladies.. Are we in the 1800′s or something? You know posts like this make me feel like shit. Like I’m not pretty cause I have short hair. Some girls can’t grow out their hair. Once it gets to a certain point, it just doesn’t look good anymore. Annnnnd who gives a frick if you like long hair. Grow your own hair out. And kudos for wanting to show your lady off like shes a new purse.
guest
like everything, it all depends on the girl and on the guy. i received waaaay more compliments when i had short hair than i ever did with long hair. short hair, especially on a younger woman, makes you stand out, and shows confidence. my boyfriend prefers my hair short, and my brother said he was disappointed that his girlfriend wanted to keep her hair long. in some ways, i feel like it takes more confidence in your natural beauty and femininity to cut your hair short than to hide behind long locks.
guest
I have long-ish hair and I do love it.. but really, these are some of the dumbest reasons I’ve ever heard.
Ladies, you should style your hair in whatever way makes YOU feel sexy and confident because that is what is most important.
guest
This post reminded me of one of the most surprising things I’ve read in the Bible; “A woman’s beauty is in her hair…”
guest
Long hair = better babies!
They want women who will be able to give birth to healthy children! =)
Thankfully I have long hair which is healthy =)
guest
This is ridiculous…. not all guys feel this way.
guest
It’s so subjective. And some parts of this post are sexist and petty.
I find it interesting that in Africa, long hair is generally thought to be a masculine trait, while short hair is more feminine. I must say that I think black women rock super-short hair better than women of other races. I’m not sure if it better compliments their facial structure or what …
guest
@steph@datingish - agreed. I look way better with an inch of hair than with long hair. I look super young with long hair, in fact.
guest
i see what you’re saying and totally agree with it for SOME girls.
for me… i look good either way.. but i think i look super cute with short hair AND it takes less time to do in the morning. bonus.
PLUS… there’s easier access to my neck when i have short hair
lol
guest
Don’t You Wish You Were Dead Like Me’s Latest Blog Entry
guest
I never cared for long hair to be honest.
guest
I had short hair the entire time I was growing up because it was easier for my mom to help me take care of. As soon as the decision fell on me I started to grow it out, and I haven’t cut it short in about… six or seven years. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made – with short hair, I feel very exposed and have no confidence about myself because it doesn’t suit my face shape. Since I know most guys like confident girls, I can understand why they didn’t like ME with short hair. Now that I have long hair I take insanely good care of it, let my friend style it(and she’s amazing with a curling iron, let me tell you), and my boyfriend throws a fit any time I mention getting it “cut” because he doesn’t realize that that just means “trimmed”.
I think that men liking long hair on women is just a traditional thing because it fits into some religions that have been around for ages, and it’s been sort of programmed into their head that a “proper woman” has long hair. Don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying I agree with that or think that short hair is improper, because I can’t even cite what religion it is and I don’t believe what they believe, I’m just saying that, especially in America, there are some facets of religion that have been ingrained into our culture and into our brains as normal. I think that long hair on women is one of those things.

long hair doesn’t look good on short girls. it’s all about proportion.
guest
Some? I would say most. That’s been my experience. Yes. I have long hair.
guest
Wow. How are you so popular. This post is terrible. Why do you do this? Just for attention?
guest
Long hair is so beautiful!
guest
@PenaltyLife@xanga that’s not true, I have hair down past my butt and it is so simple to take care of. When you have long hair it is not wise to blow dry and I never have, so it takes about a 1/2 hour for it to dry naturally. Shampooing my hair is just the same time as it was when I had short hair a few years ago. With short you have to style it and maybe use several products to get it right, with long most of the time you just have to comb it and let it hang long. I use coconut oil and that’s it.
But who cares about men, I have my long hair for myself because I love it long not for some man to look at me as some accessory. One con though: sometimes it gets caught in car doors :\I can relate to many of the comments where some girls have cut their hair short and then been bombarded with images of long hair styles. It’s like damn! I could’ve done that with my long hair! lol Oh well.
guest
I actually like the frizzy, super curly hair like that girl the example posted. I think that kinda of hair is more exciting and interesting, different from the norm….
guest
This seems like such a weird thing to me. I really don’t think a majority of guys prefer long hair over short hair. I know my husband likes my hair short, where it is hitting about my chin. I would think if your girlfriend is sexy and you take her out guys are going to think wow what a lucky guy and not just because of seeing her hair.
orchid / 103 posts
I think short hair is cute on a lot of girls, but I always regret it if I cut my hair short. I feel like I need long hair. All the guys I’ve known are into the long hair, but then again, any guy who would date me would be into that since I have long hair.
guest
I have curly/wavy hair, and everytime I let it loose, it seems like more guys flirt with me then ever. I LOVE long hair and I love mine. ^_^
guest
There are a lot of ways to style long hair and a lot of accessories. But short hair looks good on some people, too.
My boyfriend likes to comb his fingers through my hair. Haha (:

this article really demeans women…like we need to have our hair a certain way so men like it?
that’s what this says to me.
guest
Haha I just cut my hair aaaand… my boyfriend loves it.
guest
This is just plain silly. If you want to cut your hair short, cut it short. Your boyfriend will still love you. He’ll still show you off. And if you know what you’re doing, you’ll still look stunning.
Geez.
If anything, this will just make women afraid to try new things.
And I say this as a woman with hair up to her chin and a perfectly happy love life. :]

@xperlerare@xanga - and keep rockin that hair it looks great on u
guest
@Miss_Suejung@xanga - agreed
guest
I would like to point out that generally long hair only looks good on younger girls/women. Dunno about the rest of you, but I saw this woman with beautiful long white-blonde hair… and then she turned around and she was like 80 years old and that white was ACTUALLY white. It was disturbing. Sorry, but I think after a certain age women really should go short. Long hair says “young and feminine”, but that doesn’t mean short hair can’t be feminine too. It can actually be very cute on some women.
I currently have long straight blonde hair, but I know once I’m like 35 with kids I’ll probably cut it. Lol. My BF likes my hair, but told me he did mind any length as long as it wasn’t shorter than his own hair. Haha.
guest
short hair can look good too.
halle berry rocked a pixie for the longest time and i don’t think she’s that hideous.
guest
I haven’t read something so judgmental in quite some time. Glad to know you’re looking for the deeper things in life there. Seriously, at least try not to make blanket statements about male on earth. I happen to think short hair is great and long hair is great. Not that it should make any difference, really.
guest
My long hair = flat. My short hair = more volume.
It’s a trade off =/.

I had long hair before
& when I cut it off – I still get compliments
Cause I can rock both short & long hair

i won’t lie. i like girls with long hair. and girls do look better with long hair.

long hair is beautiful, short hair is hot.
but in reality, it all comes down to personality.
guest
Long hair ftw!
I’m someone who’s had long hair for majority of my life and I match well with it.
A few years back I made the huge mistake of cutting it all off out of anger, and people would not stop reminding me of how stupid and ugly I looked with short hair.
And guys didn’t seem to pay much attention to me anymore.
I wore extensions to feel beautiful, and I honestly did look good.
I have naturally long hair now and will never ever cut it short again!!!
guest
alright, finally a chance for me to do some scientifical explanation to why guys like long hair. First off. i myself am a male. and yes i do prefer long hair. Of course i believe all that the author has said, but that proves nothing as her points would never survive a lincon douglass Speech and Debate compeition.
I stand in the strongest affirmation of the resolved debate.
I offer the following contentions
1, biologically, men are interested in healthy women, as our goal and main purpose in life, as with every single other human being is to reproduce and keep our genes in the gene pool. Thus, is why each person has their own preference in mates and etc (spurring the creation of seratonin and hormones so that we get, for lack of a better word, horny). Some people like strong men because (although Lamark’s theory of Lamarkism is incorrect) they think that muscle will be passed down to their children, thus increasing their relative fitness. (relative fitness in biological terms means the number of offspring in the genepool). anyways, humans have preferences for their mates becasue men want their sperm to be going towards a viable surviving and strong healthy offspring. That is why men are attracted to beautiful women, because if the womans beautiful, rather than ugly, the offspring will most likely produce more beautiful charecteristics (you be the judge what beautiful charecterisitics are. the basics are, correct width between eyes for accurate binocular vision, porportionality of the body for phyisical tasks, and is also the main reason why men may like big breasts/ass. ass being a load of nutrition for the body to burn up when there is no food for consuption nearby, like a food storage, and breasts for breastfeeding. Breasts also indicate a plethora of nutrition for the offspring’s consumption during breastfeeding.) That was the basics of why we find good mates to reproduce, ANYWAYS, as i was saying, we want a woman, or men are more attracted to women that are more adapted so that the offspring will have a better chance of survival. (ie. beauty being an adaptation). SO, onto my first contention. hair is created by keratin. Hair is a protein filament that grows through the epidermis from follicles deep within the dermis. Found exclusively in mammals, hair is one of the defining characteristics of the mammalian class. So we know that it is a charecteristic. That is proven. Hair is by defenition, dead skin cells. And if you have a ton of dead skin cells, that means your skin cells is producing a crapload of skin cells and that the other ones can die off because new skin is growing in its place really reapidly. This obviously means that they are healtier meaning more hair.
2, Men like exotic. Being an exotic woman will increase your chance of finding a mate becasue if your exotic, a man reproducing with you= the overall feeling of a higher chance of mutation, or combination of the two. (for example homozygous hemophiliacs will have high ass chance of dieing, but are protected from malaria. homozygous no hemophilliacs= no protection from melanin. heterozygous both= blcoks malaria, AND you dont die. “best of both worlds” concept.) back to the subject, that is why sometimes a hybird baby will be born, and that is why usually men like hybird women. Hybirds are usually more attractive, however in terms of physical traits, they arent superior to others, its just the fact that they are a hybird makes them more appealing to men. as i said earlier being exotic is a good thing for people because your instantly more attractive to others. Now, back like 3.3 million years ago a catastropy occured. Historically, some ideas have been advanced to explain
the apparent hairlessness of humans, as compared to other species.
However, recent research on the evolution of lice suggests that human
ancestors lost their body hair approximately 3.3 million years ago. So that FORCED ALL THE HAIRY WOEMEN TO BECOME MORE APPEALING TO MEN! AMAZING HUH?. LONG HAIR= ATTRACTIVE NOW. wait a couple more million years, and who knows, well all be attracted to bald women.
3, Healthy hair indicates health and youth (important in evolutionary biology). Hair colour and texture can be a sign of ethnic ancestry. Facial hair/pubic is a sign of puberty . Puberty means YES ITS TIME TO REPRODUCE. Which is why it is attractive. YEs you may argue, eww i dont like hairy penisis, but that is through modern popculture influences. Or other litearary or SOMETHINg that influenced you. But this is biologically speaking so STFU if u wanted to talk me off. baldness is a sign of age, which can be concealed with a toupee, hats or religious/cultural adornments. And if your old= less fit, less ability to survive, thus hairlessness= fail. no reproduce PLEASE.

Hair has great social significance for human beings. It can grow on most areas of the human body, except on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet
(among other areas), but hair is most noticeable in most people in a
small number of areas, which are also the ones that are most commonly
trimmed, plucked, or shaved. These include the face, nose, ears, head, eyebrows, eyelashes, legs and armpits, as well as the pubic region. The highly visible differences between male and female body and facial hair are a notable secondary sex characteristic.
Secondary sex characteristics are traits that distinguish the two sexes of a species, but that are not directly part of the reproductive system. They are believed to be the product of sexual selection for traits which give an individual an advantage over its rivals in courtship, and aggressive interactions.

They are distinguished from the primary sexual characteristics: the sex organs, which are directly necessary for reproduction to occur.
Yes as stated as before, this is a biological argument and where would we be without CHARELES DARWINNNN
Charles Darwin hypothesized that sexual selection, or competition within a species for mates, can explain observed differences between sexes in many species.[1]
Biologists today distinguish between “male to male combat” and “mate
choice”, usually female choice of male mates. Sexual characteristics
due to combat are such things as antlers, horns and greater size.
Characteristics due to mate choice, often referred to as ornaments, include brighter plumage, coloration and other features that have no immediate purpose for survival or combat.
Ornamentation might arise because of some arbitrary female preference that is initially amplified by random genetic drift, eventually being reinforced by active selection for males with the appropriate ornament. This is known as the sexy son hypothesis (The sexy son hypothesis is a concept from evolutionary biology, proposed by P. J. Weatherhead and R. J. Robertson in 1979.[1] It posits that a female animal’s optimal choice among potential mates is a male whose genes will produce male offspring with the best chance of reproductive success.).An alternative hypothesis is that some of the genes that enable males
to develop impressive ornaments or fighting ability may be correlated
with fitness markers such as disease resistance or a more efficient metabolism. This idea is known as the good genes hypothesis.

Another theory for the thin body hair on humans proposes that Fisherian runawaysexual selection
played a role. (as well as in the selection of long head hair).
Possibly this occurred in conjunction during fetal/early child

(see types of hair and vellus hair), as well as a much smaller role of testosterone in women.
The aquatic ape hypothesis posits that sparsity of hair is an adaptation to an aquatic environment, but it has little support amongst
The fisherian runaway sexual selection denotes
a model of sexual selection, first proposed by R.A. Fisher in 1915
[1]
, and expanded upon in his 1930 book
The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection
[2]
, that suggests an explanation for sexual selection of traits that do not obviously increase fitness of survival, based upon a positive feedback “runaway” mechanism.
This is because although HAIR began decreasing in humans to allow space for sweatglands, the fisherian runaway sexual selection says that although it can give a lower fitness for survival, it has positive feedback on a runaway mechanism.
“By way of example, the peacock‘s
tail requires a great deal of energy to grow and maintain, it reduces
the bird’s agility, and it may increase the animals visibility to
predators. Yet it has evolved, indicating that birds with longer tails
have some advantage. Fisherian runaway explains that if a peahen
selects a peacock with a longer and more colorful tail, then her male
children are more likely to have long and colorful tails and are more
likely to be sexually successful themselves, because other peahens have
the same preference for longer tails. Therefore, in a circular fashion,
having a preference for longer tails gives an advantage.”
I rest my case.

so… as in any lincon douglass debate, i offer the challenge of refuting this. I am open to debate and am excited for any argument.
take note that when i said :”healthy hair” it was implied that i meant healthy looking hair. It is impossible to have healthy hair as it is all dead skin cells.

When I met my now-husband, I had not-quite-shoulder-length black and blonde hair. It was… hideous, now that I look back on it.
Buuut, three years later, I now have looong dark brown hair. And it’s naturally curly, though the longer it gets, the less curly it is. ]:Anyway, I love my hair. But I don’t think I would love it on anyone. It depends on the person and how they… wear their hair. [;
guest
do girls like guys with long silky/smooth hair?? I used to have long hair and got a mixed opinion.
guest
Totally disagree. I have short, cropped hair, (see my blog) and I look sexy and pretty. My hair is the way it is for me, and if any girl prefers their hair long, that’s fine, but it should only be for yourself, and not to prove your to men or anyone else.
guest
maybe that’s your taste but it’s not everyone’s.
i like the girl with curly hair better than the plain girl.
guest
@coffeeblack_and_cigarettes@xanga - we cant help it :3 honest
guest
well, I read this just a tad too late but hair grows so it’s allllllllllllll gooooooooooood, =)
guest
I’m a guy. Long hair on women rocks. I can’t stand short hair on women. Long hair makes an average lady look even sexier. I agree with what she says. If a girl has well kept, long hair, it really turns most guys on. I know it does me. I love to put my hands through it, and I love when a long hair girl sweeps her hair down my naked body. I’ve had it done, and it’s a total turn on.
guest
I’m a black-mixed girl with naturally curly hair which is past my shoulders, I resent the comments about straight hair, because even though it is easier to make it look good, that does not mean that it is any more beautiful than curly hair. This entry reminds me of small black girls on television wearing Hannah Montana wigs because no one tells them that their hair can be beautiful too. I also think short hair is sexy on a lot of people, Jada Pinkett and Halle Berry, as well as Twiggy, who became famous because her hair was short.
Long hair is nice, but that doesn’t mean it’s better.

@Kevin_is_a_pirate@xanga -
Obviously, a guy worth dating would look at the hair more then the boobs.

i think this post was gay.
no offense. but it was.

thank you for posting this. =]

@Rock_Music_Lover22@xanga - yeah but gay guys dont date girls :3
guest
oh god
there’s just ONE reason!
CUS LONG HAIR DON’T CARE BABY!!
guest
I think a man should’ve written this because I feel as though you’ve gotten it all wrong. Men don’t care about shine and conditioner, men care about what looks good on their girl. And real men don’t give a damn if their woman’s hair is short or long, because she’d be beautiful in any condition. I’ve never heard a man tell someone else that they thought a girl was sexy because of her locks..
guest
@MimleFruits@xanga - shut up.
guest
This is probably the stupidest thing I have ever heard–not the guys liking long hair on girls because that’s true in most cases I have encountered so far.. but this post specifically, it’s just really..a shame to have come out of your mind.
guest
@UnopenedSuitcases@xanga - it’s just sexy. you don’t see it too often and it’s like the opposite of the image of masculine (b/c guys generally are thought of with short hair) it makes girls more feminine in that sense.
i’m not sure why but also, long slightly curly hair gives the impression she’s “wild”, “sexy”, all those things that are part of guy’s fantasies.
i’m not saying it’s sexier than short hair. some shorter styles are hot too, but generally long hair is always a plus. there’s no real science (health/fertility) behind it. i’m not thinking of any particular reason. it simply appeals, mostly because it’s part of the image of a sexy girl i mentioned above.
guest
I have long hair. What do you guys think? LOL!
As a female, I think having long hair enables me to make it straight, spiral curly, and any other fun design for that day. On the other hand, short hair, like Victoria Beckham’s, is hot too, but it depends on your facial features. Some people look great with long hair and vice versa.
Interesting blog!
guest
good entry. I have met only a few guys who like short hair on women.
guest
I think it just depends on the guy and the type of hair the girl has. Personally, I prefer short hair because it better frames my face and is easier to maintain since it’s curly.
guest
Long hair = handlebars.
guest
were taught it’s feminine. I guess it’s the culture, but to an extent, i think it is inherintly beautiful
guest
i had long hiar almost down to the middle of my waist for years…..then i cut it into the “posh bob” out of sheer curiosity. 5 months later & my hair is starting to get longer, but i can not help but envy those w. longer hair! i want it back- now! >:l
guest
just because you take good care of your hair doesn’t mean it’s silky sexy, and just because it is curly and frizzy and therefore unattractive, according to this post, does not mean that one does not take good care of her hair.
guest
In India, the reason the women cover their hair is because it is supposedly the most erotic part of a woman. *shrugs* It really depends on what you do with it I guess.
guest
confidence on a girl with whatever length of hair she has is sexy.
guest
this is hella ridiculous. i have real short hair and my boyfriend LOVES it and i get compliments from guys all the time on my hair. you suck.
guest
When is this getting off the front page? Hella boring.
guest
@Kevin_is_a_pirate@xanga -
haha exactly I’m a chick, but I fined more guys staring at my boobs more than my hair. (and I even have long hair.) LOL [:
guest
@britt1511@xanga - haha we just can’t help it :3
guest
I think real men would embrace any type of hair a woman has. To me personally though, short hair usually shows more confidence and uniqueness.. all women have long hair or are expected to. It also shows off a woman’s greatest features. Short hair for me!
guest
It depends on the woman’s face shape.
Some women’s features aren’t framed well, or are concealed by long hair and short hair is better on them.
guest
Long hair is a sign of feminity, fertility (or good health which is condusive to fertility) and a bit of a rarity these days since many women rock the shoulder-length or shorter look. I can see why guys like it.
I actually asked my boyfriend about it one day. He told me exactly what I wanted to hear, though! He said that he thinks I should do to my hair whatever makes me feel good about myself. I wonder who programmed him to tell me that… hahah
guest
‘damn he’s lucky to have a girl with such gorgeous long hair’ haha, cracks me up. I’ve never thought in my head ‘he is lucky she has gorgeous long hair’ the hair definitely helps though when I say “She’s damn hot!” haha. It’s just one of those things that short or long if the hair is taken care of it looks better then if not. But long hair kicks ass, there is nothing like a chics hair on your body, if ya know what I mean
guest
you just wrote this entry because you have a crush on your friend maggie.

This entire blog is ridiculous. The fact that anyone would base how you look on how guys view you is a ludicrous way to live.
1.) it gives guys something to play with – oh thats good, you’ll attract little boys who need to be entertained by your hair instead of something more intellectual. That’s good.
2.) it just looks right – says who? This comment is belligerently sexist and is based on an old school view of how females should look. By abiding to this comment you promote digression.
4.) long hair gives something blah blah bullshit – if that’s all they have to show off on a girl then that’s really really pathetic.
Honestly, you should concern yourself with things that are actually important in life. Why is the length of your hair and how much guys like it even something you think about long enough to write a blog on? I pity your existence.
guest
I have blonde hair that is just a couple inches above my waist. It is naturally wavy, but not too much. I love it. I would NEVER cut it.
Watch my future husband hate long hair

guest
I have curly hair, and I do take care of it, but sometimes….u cannot control the frizz, or the type of curl you have. It’s genetic, and short of ruining my hair and using chemicals to relax it, nothing I can do. Guess I will just have to find a guy who likes curls then huh? lol.
guest
I dig my short hair =3
guest
Aside from the author’s incredibly poor mastery of the English language, (repeated run-on sentences, for instance) this post has no place here due to the curious absence of a point.
To summarize:
- Long hair looks good to him.
- Long hair seems to look good to other men, due to his own private [and perhaps unrepresentative] research.
- If you are a girl with long hair (provided it is “sexy” or “asian”), don’t cut it short.
…But sometimes, maybe not.
Pure brilliance. Nice pick, Lovelyish.

You forgot one.
Long hair looks at least decent on every woman, if not better.
However, I’ll admit that it does take something special to be a woman and pull off the short hair look.
guest
I think this topic is up in the air. Shorter hair makes a woman look more mature and professional, in my opinion, and some guys like that better. Longer hair, on the other hand, makes a woman look like she want to have fun with life and go with the flow, and some guys like that. It just all depends on the woman in question.
guest
uhh, my hair is permed. and it doesn’t look like shit, either. i get all kinds of compliments. permed hair doesn’t look nearly as bad as you think it does/it did in the past. my hair certainly doesn’t look like that picture of that curly haired woman at all. do some research before you diss us curly haired women, honey. straight hair can be fugly, too.
guest
I think long hair can be really beautiful but it does nothing for a girl’s face. I mean, really beautiful girls can pull off whatever hair length they want, but some girls need some help to bring out their best features and short haircuts can DEFINITELY do that. And you can still run your hands through some short haircuts. I personally think long hair can be romantic and pretty, but girls with short hair are more attractive because it enhances their face shapes. I used to grow my hair long for Locks of Love all the time; now I can’t stand to have it past my shoulders – it’s just too thick and it hangs there like a sheet of baleen. Not to mention it gets in the way and I end up putting it up all the time. Short, it’s like completely different hair – my hairdresser thins it out so it has just the right amount of body and shape. I don’t have to do anything to it – I just wash and condition and then let it airdry. It makes me feel a lot more attractive than my long hair ever did. And all of my friends love it. There’s something great about hacking off a bunch of hair; it’s so liberating to me. I don’t get my hair cut for guys anyway. I get it cut to where I feel good and it’s comfortable and easy.

this is completely moronic. some women look wonderful with long hair, some women look wonderful with short hair. if they all had long hair, they would all start being unattractive.
plus…i’m pretty much positive that no straight guy would say anything about how hot some chick’s hair is. stop living in fantasy world, darling. if you want somebody to admire your hair, you should probably start dating girls.
guest
I doubt your boyfriends’ friends will be thinking about your hair…
I think it mainly depends on your face, and what looks better for you. I must say, I like short hair, but occasionally I’ll find someone that looks really good with logn hair. Just not my thing though. :]

I don’t agree at all with this and they’re such bad examples.
This post makes me want to cut my hair even shorter and leave it curly 24/7. A woman’s beauty isn’t measured by her hair and I don’t really think that most guys think this: “when they go out other guys will be like damn he’s lucky to have a girl with such gorgeous long hair.” Sounds like something that only goes on in your head.
I don’t know how this got featured.
guest
any hair lenght is fine. If the girl wants it short who is the guy to say no? I mean, its so shallow to like or even love a girl just for her long silky locks.
guest
I think everyone have thier own style, so I don’t really mind what do people think.
guest
guest
So what about girls with no hair?
guest
The fourth reason…is chauvinistic and superficial. She’s probably got something about her, not necessarily physical that has merit of some sort.
why not “oh he’s so lucky to be dating a girl who’s so funny/ oh he’s so lucky to be dating a girl who has a vast knowledge of European history.” Anything but “wow, she’s got some long-ass hair”
guest
Asian girls got long straight hair and thats true for some girls..Hehe.. I guess it’s just natural unless they go perm it..lol.. Yeh, I prefer long hair to look nice. If you have long straight healthy hair, then keep it. I regret even I cut a few inches lol because I have long hair….. =]
guest
I’ve always had long hair. I decided to cut it in August and I’m looking forward to it. Want something new, something different. Grown and sexy!
guest
long haired girls… it makes their neck look longer and makes them look kind of dainty. it looks more graceful.
short haired girls look tomboyish and probably can move around more too. if they have pretty legs it may make their short hair look hotter, actually.
guest
from a girl’s perspective, long hair makes me feel powerful as it swings in the air, feminine as it can have any hairstyle, and fun to play with. these can just as easily go with short hair. i prefer long hair because it just seems to look right on me. i guess it deals with personal style on what looks right.
guest
I find it amusing how you simply dismiss curly hair like its somthing not worth talking about and put it under the repulsive category. I have curly blond hair that stops to your arm pit and I love it! If a guy has a problem with it all I have to say is to bad..Becus its me and I’m not going to straighten it,or change it simply doesnt ook good on me.espcailly if he was my boyfriend and he didnt do anything to him but tells me I should do what he likes. ..The way I see it is,its you the hair shouldnt make you as a person and how your face is made.(even though its IS importent) I like both long and short hair..Not picky on persons hair.
guest
you’re a fucking moron and i hope every girl shaves their head in spite of guys like you

Not everyone can have long straight hair. My hair is short & curly…all the men in my life hate it, while all the women think it’s adorable…I think it’s because it makes me non-threatening LOL. Anyway, I love it & I think I rock it. Straightened/long hair looks horrible on me. There’s plenty of women out there who would be damaging it if they tried to make it like what a typical guy wants.

I think I see what you’re trying to say, b&p (brainandpinky, lol), but I can’t say that I agree with it. Maybe it’s because I do rock the short hair that I feel the need to respond in a polite well mannered way (initially, ha ha), but your four “points,” can be taken in account for the shorter haired ladies as well.
1. Long hair gives the guy something to play with. - Assuming your woman doesn’t have a buzz cut, there’s still something to run your fingers through and play with. Just because a girl has short hair, doesn’t mean you can have any less fun with it.
2. Long hair on girls just looks right. – I have to take some what of an offense to this, understanding of course that this is just your opinion, but I think my short hair has given me a lot more confidence and compliments. I would be a little bit less than mortified if I knew that all the male population thought I “looked wrong” because of my hair cut, but what girl wouldn’t feel that way? A lot of times, I think long (but I mean longgg) hair on girls just looks WRONG. …only because it’s kept at such a length that it drags their face down and makes them look somewhat Amish like because there is so much of a mass that there is no more body or style. Also – some girls with such long hair don’t like to get their growth trimmed – that means split end city – nothing can be attractive about that.
3. N/A
4. Long hair gives the guy something to show off on his girl. - Like many people have already commented…that goes for anything! Short hair does, perky nipples do, an oddly colored patch of arm pit hair (ew)… It’s all about personal preference…
I vote this post title is changed to Why “SOME” Men Love Long Hair On Women. Obviously not all do, because if so, most elderly ladies wouldn’t be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversaries right now.
…I’m even contemplating writing a contradictory post on the matter…anybody in?

Some of us even think that the “dry, frizzy” look is sexy, too. After all, some women have the “dry, frizzy” look naturally, and no matter how hard they try, the “dry, frizzy” look just doesn’t go away.
guest
@aroes_inthegarden@xanga -
. I agree I grow my hair out so I can cut it and donate it to Locks of love. I learned about it in middle school when a friends mother was diagnosed with breast cancer I cut my hair the next day (a foot and a half of hair)
guest
I think it has something to do with showing off.. And having longer hair shows more feminine side to a girl. I prefer myself with short hair but plenty of guys dont like that. I am growing my hair longer and it seem like my bf likes playing with my hair. (^_^)
guest
LOL! i have waist long hair (but with a fair amount of different colors every now and then), but I think it’s really subjective. Depends on the girl actually. Look at Posh, she’s can pull off the short hair. Becks still loves her anyway. haha. so it really depends on the guy.
guest
I’ve cut my hair short 1 time, then I hated myself for it. I had it long but then my mom doesn’t want it so I have to cut it short again, it was even shorter than the first. Now it’s quite long. And I promised to myself already I have to get it longer… my boyfriend wants it long just like the day he met me. Haha
guest
I have long hair down to my mid-back.
My guys friends love it.
And my boyfriend adores it.
I’m letting grow out longer, maybe down to my waist.
guest
yes, many guys prefer the long hair, i agree.
but some guys prefer short hair on women.
*did i mention i chopped off all my long hair this year? hahah ;P
guest
…I’ve never had a boyfriend, so I wouldn’t know, but I’ve had my hair short AND long MANY times in my life, and I can honestly say, I much prefer short hair, it’s easier for me to keep unders wraps, because I never do anything specal with my hair, and it makes me feel worse because all of these other gorgeous girl do special things with their hair when it’s long. So, I decided to cut it, so I would have an excuse to say, “I can’t physically do anything with my hair”. However, it is getting long again. My mom wants me to take Senior Pictures with longer hair for easier styles, then I can cut it again…but I don’t know. I like short hair A LOT, but…welll, whatever.
guest
i don’t know i have long hair, very smooth and pretty. infact, my hairstylist hates me because she says that i have “perfect hair that anyone would love”. and yet i’m the only girl with long hair he has ever dated.in fact after we broke up he said, “you know i’ve always really liked short hair” and i was thinking “you could have said that sooner, i was under the impression guys liked long hair”
guest
yeah ..i noticed all of my guy friends and boyfriends liked it better whn i had long hair because it changes colors when it grows. add me peeple!!(:

I think this is retarded. You can’t say what ALL guys prefer. I think that it all depends on the girl and what looks best for them. Besides, half the time, guys don’t even care about the girls hair….it all depends on the guy too.
I think this is just what YOU think women’s hair should look like. Don’t conclude that all men like long hair.
peony / 3 posts
The funny thing is, where I live, in Miami, ALL the girls have long hair. So, a lot of guys prefer to see a girl with a cute, short cut. It’s nice to see a change with short hair in the oh-so-drifting river of long hair.
For example, when I walk around, guys in cars honk & whistle MORE than a girl with long hair.
It COULD be the body, but HOW when my best friend has a tad bit better of a body than I do & guys hit on me more than her?
It COULD be my eyes, but, guys don’t look at that.
Plus, I get more complements on my hair than on my “gorgeous blue-green-yellow-grey eyes.”
7 times out of 10, my hair is complemented.
And, my boyfiend prefers long hair, too. I have an a-line. (Like Victoria Beckham, where it’s shorter in the back & longer in the front.) HE LOVED IT. He said that he’s always wanted to be with a girl with a haircut similar to that. He likes bobs.
So, no. Long hair isn’t ALWAYS what guys “love” or “prefer.”

@cswilik@xanga - sooo true!
guest
lol, it’s weird because my co-worker once said to me that i look “hot” because i have nice hair. and that’s about it. i didn’t know whether to take it as a compliment or an insult but it’s interesting how men ACTUALLY really like long hair !
but i wouldn’t say they ALL guys like girls with long hair. i’m sure if his girlfriend looked hot in short hair, or curly (frizzy) hair, he’d like that too. or maybe, he likes crazy and weird frizzy hair, and likes showing it off? ahaha. getting into the mind of a guy.. that’s another post lol
guest
It all depends upon the woman, I know a few who look much better with relatively short hair. Different styles suit different people better. Facial structure and stature usually plays a role in what looks good on people.
guest
i can agree with this, long hair seems to be a winner for guys ,
guest
some guys also find it very sexy when girls have long enough hair where they can flip it back.
guest
i think im going to do a test. ill grow my hair long and fit into the images of your blog. live up to the goals of only how society and the media deems beautiful and persist persist. ill grow and take care of my hair until i am of late age or until there is no more hair left on my body just to prove to you and society that i am beautiful. is this the kind of life you gals and guys would live for? WAKE UP and walk in the shoes of God who sees everyone as beautiful no matter how short long silky no silky split ended blonde black permed bald your head is… i don’t want to but i guess i must revise the words of Martin Luther King “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the quality or quanitity of their HAIR, but by the content of their character. ”
guest
its interesting how hair could determine one’s soul and inner beauty in a matter of a look. when i had short hair i dated this guy who left me and said these very last words that stuck to me whenever my hair grew out. he said, “come back when your hair grows long”. not only did he take away an opportunity to learn about beauty beneath the surface, but a girl’s sense of dignity and confidence. since then i have never seen him. and i can’t help now but think that deep down inside i used my long hair to retaliate. thinking that somehow he would come back and i would reject him and prove that love is not all about how someone looks. …
some people aren’t fortunate to have “straight silky long hair”. and if they do, its because of the many time and products one must consume to achieve “that look”. whatever that means. but, hair in this blog seems to almost be, sorry to say, discriminating. its like would you go out with someone with long silky hair and she or he is mean to you and doesn’t respect and love your for who you are or would you go with someone who does respect you and loves every perfect and imperfect thing about and just came out of chemo and has not one hair strand to shine for you.
guest
I wish I could keep my hair long but I just get so frustrated and cut it, then get angry because I cut it. I just can’t win
guest
This is ridiculous. I can agree guys often prefer long hair, but to say it “just looks right” is insulting. You’re obviously extremely biased. It completely depends on the person. I think I look better with short hair than i ever did with long hair. My short hair is part of who I am and any guy who has a problem with that probably isn’t for me. I’m not going to let any male preference impact something that makes me feel pretty. And I assure you, there are more than a “small community” of guys who are totally fine with short hair and are still quite content showing off their short haired girlfriend.
So, get over your superiority complex.

I think long hair on women looks good if treated well and sometimes styled, it brings out more of a feminity to have flowing long hair.
but there are some women out there who can really rock short hair in a way I could never pull off!
guest
a guy friend of mine once told me that nice long hair makes a girl look more girly/feminine and when the hair is great (like smells good, smooth and shiny) it just shows that the girl knows how to take care of herself well.. and it turns them on.
guest
#3 is kind of mean. It depends on the kind of hair you have. Even if a girl takes excellent care of her hair, it won’t always look like the woman in the picture at the top.
I take good care of my hair, but it’s still sometimes frizzy/thick/wavy in random places. And that hair on the second girl may be natural, not necessarily a perm.
I don’t think hair should matter all that much in the long run. I won’t grow my hair out or cut it really short just because a guy wants me to. =/
guest
Long hair is difficult to maintain, whereas shorter hair may accentuate a woman’s cheeks and eyes. It’s all about the final look, how a woman balances it out. And, of course, everyone is entitled to their own tastes and opinions.
guest
This is ridiculous. Halle Berry, Rihanna, Charlize Theron, Natlie Portman, Keira Knightley, and Katie Holmes all look incredible with shorter hair. Marilyn Monroe’s never passed her shoulders, and she’s the biggest sex icon in history.
I’ve had long hair and short(ish) hair, and it’s never made a difference in attracting men. All that matters is how confidently you wear it.
guest
Do guys honestly care about hair? Like really?
guest
Wow. Ridiculous.
guest
lol yes i’d have to agree that long hair is attractive but also i would say that not all people match with long hair. Sometimes short hair is sexy or sexier on certain people. Like me I couldn’t rock the sexiness w/ short hair. Long hair yes. So to me it really depends on who the long hair is on or the short hair is on. Everyone has a distinctive look to them so it really depends.
guest
i just cut my hair short -at times i love it casue its so cute but other times i hate it and feel unattractive and wish i could have my long hair back
guest
Guys love long hair on girls because they can run their fingers through it,if it isn`t like the second picture and plus if you have long hair it is usually soft and suple.:)
guest
@xperlerare@xanga - I thought it was because most guys are homophobic and they dont like to see their girl looking like a dyke, like my ex :L I suppose they prefer it because long well maintained curls are sexy and most chicks they look at in mags
are more likely to have long hair… it’s like they’ve learned that long is sexy. Personally I’m always changing my hair and I dont care what a guy thinks of it ;D
guest
this is stupid.
everyone has their own idea of sexy.
and i doubt guys are thinking about how gorgeous their girls HAIR is in public.
there are other parts of them they are way more interested in showing off. ;]
guest
i’ve always had long hair and finally i cut it short just to see how it would look (short in back and long in front) and i’ve been getting more compliments than ever about my short cut. even with my guy friends. a lot of them do like long hair and miss mine, but i think it really depeneds for every girl. some girls just tend to look better with certain hair. depending on whether or not it matches their face shape, cut, color, etc…
guest
Hahaha, I’ve thought about this, too. But I’m pretty guilty because I cut my own hair really short and I think I look fine. Some girls look really cute with short hair

guest
this article and most of the comments that follow are too white and (upper) middle class-centric. Long hair is not always an option for people who can’t afford healthy food or lifestyles. Healthy, long hair takes good nutrition and care, and people who work two jobs or can’t use the best hair products probably don’t have the option of leaving their hair down, and styling it with soft curls. Feeding myself and my family would be my first priority, and if i had to moonlight to do it, my hair style would have to reflect that.
plenty of people have genes that make long hair an option, but there are all too many women with textured, curly, or kinky hair that are forced into the cultural convention that long, smooth, straight hair with intentional waves or curls is the only “right” hair style. There is beauty in women who can understand and style their natural hair texture whatever the length. For black women, just as an example, long (straight-ish) hair requires perms and/or weaves, and they are pricey. When short hair in a classic style is more economic and frankly, more flattering, I think it’s a better choice. There are plenty of celebrity examples for long and short hair, so it’s definitely up to what’s the right choice for the individual.
I’m just trying to offer a different perspective for the women (and men and others) who don’t fit into old-fashioned categories. There’s no need to be culturally insensitive when you’re on the front page of xanga.
guest
short hair. hair when you runs your hands through it stands up. makes the girls look sexy inna dont fuck with me way.
guest
i have short hair, in between my chin and shoulders. ive been told by males and females alike that i look much much better with my hair short. but then again, i know lots of girls who look better with long hair. sure guys might like short hair better, but id rather go for what looks good on me. if long hair looks good on you, more power to ya.
guest
i love short hair on myself, at one point i never let it grow longer than shoulder length but now it’s past my bra strap. i hate my long hair but my boyfriend loves it and refuses to let me cut it :/
guest
omg i agree! long hair is sexy!!
guest
Agree with
goD_I_V_Aunc10@xanga
I see nothing wrong with this blog, as the blogger is stating a preference — and the photo samples and mentions seem to be geared toward Caucasian and Asian women, which is fine.
That said, it’s really sad to see black women spending millions to try to achieve the straight hair look when that look is least natural with Afrotypic features as much as orange-like blonde looks on browner-hued Afro-mixed Hispanics also trying to look Eurocentric. There are SO MANY beautifully natural styles for black women, such as those at Khamit Kinks.com.
Halle Berry rocks that short style like no one.
guest
lol, i’ve cut my hair short, up to my chin, and i’m waiting soooooooo long to get my hair long again
i feel prettier in it xD
guest
It’s actually more of an instinctual thing
A woman with long, healthy hair is more likely to be healthy herself and capable of giving her husband more healthy and strong children. Although that may not be as true today as it was a century ago, the mentality behind it is still true.
guest
what about medium length? not too long, not too short….I like medium length for my face shape….it flatters me..and guys don’t seem to mind…or they just don’t pay attention lol, as long as you look presentable and comfortable in your own skin. Remember when Halle Berry was rocking that short look? I don’t think she got less media attention than when she had longer hair…so..as long as you look slamming and feel comfortable..you’ll get the attention.and eventually the guy ^_^
guest
I like having long hair.
I like it when guys like it too. lol. (Though I’m sure not ALL guys like it and some will take this post as all sexist and yadda yadda yadda… people love to argue on xanga. It’s fun stuff.)
@belletenshi@xanga - I totally agree btw. What ever works for the person! And people can totally look snazzy either way.
guest
in my opinion. short hair = confidence. long hair = comfort.
guest
eh, I grew my hair long in high school– I thought guys liked long hair. I was such a wallflower, I got zero attention. The day after my senior pictures were taken, I went to a beauty shop and told the guy to chop it all off. Bad memories on this posting! Shelby Stone……The Gelding by MysticMoonPress.com…..and Cherry Picking Time by A1adultEbooks.com
guest
i think every girl should choose the style that she likes and feels looks good on her. not everyone looks good with short hair, but not everyone looks good with long hair either.
personally, i LOVE short hair! i think it’s sexy and fun and so much easier. seriously, i got over the long, straight, and BORING princess hair thing after the age of 4. i also have naturally curly hair, and if i let it grow long, gravity just flattens it so it looks gross. plus, it really doesn’t compliment my face. but with short curly hair, i look very 1920s and i love it and so does my boyfriend. he in fact requests that i keep it short. generally, i think curly hair looks better on the shorter side.
HOWEVER
i can appreciate the girls who have very naturally straight, long, silky hair. it’s quite lovely, and i say rock it. but my hair is NOT straight, even if i spend a half hour trying to
straighten it. it will NEVER look like that and it’s completely useless to try. in fact, i think i only
look worse. and i am NOT going to feel bad about the fact that i have curly hair! thus, i think women should embrace their natural hair texture. so short, long, curly, wavy, straight, pony-tail, braid, blonde, brown, black, or purple, i say have fun with your hair and do what you like best! don’t base your hairstyle on trying to please men. it’s that kind of pathetic attitude that causes you end up with the crappy guys anyway.
guest
quite honestly theres a lot more about your girl that you should wanna show off than just her hair, hair is something that can be changed, cut/grown/ coloured/ blahblahblah…………anywhoozle. Long hair can be sexy I agree but it can be plain and boring…it just hangs and can be a pain to take care of and keep up with. Shorter hair can be VERY sexy on the right girl and it has more style and shows off a girls personality. An edgy haircut can say “hey i have a spontanious, crazy fun girl’. I like shoulder length edgy haircuts on girls, long hair gets in the way with kissing. but like i said theres more to people than looks and hair
guest
I love this post. I love my long hair.
guest
So True…I don’t know why either its like my hand love the feel of my girl’s long hair.
guest
I got my hair trimmed and it was super long, but she cut like 3 inches off, so it’s just now starting to grow back out good. Everyone says its still long, but i miss my loong long hair!:(
guest
I’ve gotten more compliments for my short bob (recently done) than for the long hair I’ve had for years. Unless personality changes with hair, does it really matter?
guest
I’ve come to the conclusion that most men like women who are confident in their self-image. They think it’s sexy that the girl is willing to be themselves and are comfortable with their beauty enough to share it. So, when it comes to long or short hair, it really doesn’t matter. If the hair cut makes the girl feel uncomfortable in herself to where she worries about what the guy thinks, a guy is not going to think that’s sexy at all. I have had my hair both short and long. To be honest I grew my hair out because boys said I looked prettier; however, I have found that looking back, I was more confident with the shorter hair and therefore attracted more attention. Guys love spending time with you for being you; not for the length of your hair. Besides, unless you have a pixie, they can play with it at any length.
guest
Oh. Shit.
I just got my hair cut short.
guest
I’ve had long hair and short hair, and I loved both and have had guys admire it at both lengths because i kept it nice and my hair is smooth and shiny when straightened. Short hair can be easier to manage especially for people like me with a combination of curly and wavy hair that is prone to frizziness. Shorter hair saved me tons of shampoo and conditioner! but i also love long hair on women when its nicely kept, it just looks elegant while i think short hair is fun and functional..
but anyway, i think you should’ve titled this post “Why I love long hair on women”
guest
Actually studies show that when you meet someone and you are attracted to them your mind automatically associates the hair and how it looks the first time you see it to your attraction. So it could be short, long, or watev, and it wouldn’t matter, but you would like that hair style over other hair styles and lengths later in the relationship.
guest
Okay, so I have long hair on the front side of my head, but short in the back. So I guess I have a great balance in between.
Other than, can’t blame much whether majority of men favor long hair. Long ago, I had a goal to grow my hair super long for (honestly) more attraction and confidence with my looks. But turns out I grew out of that silly idea and just cut the shiz off (while leaving the front short).
Another honest thing is that I love having short hair. Maybe I ain’t got the “ideal” vixen look. But personally, I feel comfortable with it. It’s less “problematic” for me (long thick hair really does get in the way and is so much of a bother) and people say it definitely fits my head shape.
I never mean to be vain in any way. But for me, I guess long hair will come later in life. For now I feel free with short hair while young. It’s less heavy compared to long hair and I definitely feel as expressive just as the same with long hair, but in a different way.
Just whatever hairstyle uniquely fits you!
Everyone’s got their own different various ideas of attraction.
guest
hahaha this is so dumb
guest
i love my long hair — it’s become part of my identity (:
guest
i think it’s cuz long hair looks feminine and there are so many sexy thins you can do with your hair. a lot of guys don’t like the idea of a girl having shorter hair than them, or having hair so short, they can’t tell the girl apart from the guy from the back of their heads.
guest
I strongly disagree with everything that has been said in this post. One day, I will make a post just like this… It will be called “Why Women Love Short Hair On Men.”
For the record, I used to have Asian, smooth, straight, waist-length hair. Then I cut off almost twenty inches to donate to Locks of Love. A few months after I got my cute new bob, I began missing my long hair. Mostly I just missed being able to hide behind it if I had a bad hair day. (By the way, another reason many girls prefer having long hair besides to please shallow sexists such as yourself is so that they have something to detract from their ugly or plain-looking faces.) Right now, my hair is at an awkward in-between stage where it’s growing out from that bob. I wish I could have short hair all the time, but it’s too poofy when short, especially after I wash it.
However, reading your post greatly encouraged me to cut my hair short again. Thank you.
(As a note to all women who stated that cutting their hair to, say, shoulder-length was the biggest mistake of their life: Can we please trade lives? I’d LOVE to have the biggest mistake of my life magically undo itself after just a few short months. There are much worse things to cry about, ladies!)
guest
Long hair, very nice. very nice.
guest
2. Long hair on girls just looks right.
I think it is partly a matter of aesthetic balance.Women with breasts and hips and short hair look like their heads are too small for their frames. And long smooth hair adds a delicatness, a femininity, even fragility that many men love.
guest
I hate short hair on girls. Long locks is a woman’s crown of glory in terms of beauty as far as I’m concerned and most woman with short hair look like little boys or old. Some can pull it off, but in my book, most can’t. I also hate it when women have long hair but refuse to take care of it. Take some pride or chop it off! I’d rather see that then horribly damaged strands
guest
why are people overanalyzing this? girls just look better when they have long hair. and to those that say some girls look good with short hair. that is true but the same girls would look a lot better with long hair. think cameron diaz currently and cameron diaz in The Mask.
guest
Well what about guys with long hair
guest
I have medium-length, naturally curly hair. My husband always liked my hair shorter but I am growing it out now. He likes it either way & he does play with it, he twirls it & sometimes he gets it in knots so I don’t really like for him to do that, lol
guest
@MimleFruits@xanga - waist-long hair is very common for vietnamese girls
guest
The majority of my girlfriends have cut their hair short within the past year, some “boy-short.” And for most of them, it’s more flattering and attention-drawing than a typical female haircut (or lack of haircut, I suppose.) This whole post is sort of undocumented and opinionated, and the way you adhere to gender stereotypes is childish. Nothing looks more “right” on one gender than the other, and if you were going to claim that, you’d at least need to give some kind of evolutionary evidence, or something.

Picture #2 probably isn’t a perm. It looks like natural curly hair to me. It’s just dry because you can see she’s died it from a very dark natural color to a light brown at some point. The hair style also has no shape or style to it.
I am cutting my hair shorter within the next week or two. I’ve had it pixie short before, and long like it is now. I think shorter hair is kind’ve sexy. It’s what you do with the hair and how you wear it.
guest
i likem longhair, thick, redbone..open open up that filet mignon
guest
Why is this a featured blog? The “reasons” you gave still don’t really explain anything.
guest
long hair, long legs, cute voice. the best.
guest
And btw, the picture of the curly hair is very clearly naturally curly hair, not a perm, genius.
guest
I think that some women cant pull off short hair. But if u can then u are truly “Beautiful”! Thats a quote from Ken Paves. “If you want to know if a women is truly beautiful…picture her bald!”
I cut my hair into a Victoria Becham/Rhianna style bob,and I got waaaaaay more compliments than i did w/my long hair!! Guys seemed to loooove it! I really just think its about how its cut and if it fits ur face shape.
I think its kinda gross when a girl/guys hair is more than 4 inches past their shoulders. It makes me think of a caveman…or think the person isnt very clean. IDK why but its my opinion. It looks well groomed when u cut it at a nice length.
all together,I really just think ‘healthy hair’ ALL styles & textures are BEAUTIFUL.
guest
@ExpressoDelight@xanga - exactly. and it’s more professional to me.
Makes you look like you’re experienced and know what you’re doing
guest
long hair yes.
on a white woman.
What about the black woman.
We weren’t blessed with long glossy hair.
I wear mine short and natural. guys looooooove it.
both races.
guest
How insulting is this.
“Showing off you girlfriend for her hair”
You are either gay, or you have a silly fetish, or you just date
girls cause they are pretty.
Is she some kind of prize?? A New car?? A Doll??
This is how some guys end up lonely.
You base you girls personality and attitude upon how long her hair is….
You need to broaden your survey and see just how many guys like short hair
on women, they prefer it more than long hair.
Short hair takes confidence and a load of personality.
2 factors that men LOVE in woman.
Anyone can have long gorgeous hair but can be the ugliest, meanest, bitch in the world.
You’ve discriminated millions of woman around the world by posting your biased blog.
What makes a woman is her INNER beauty and attitude and how she carries herself. Not her fucking hair.
I met a woman who is bald. Buddha bald. And she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Prettier than most
models in the magazines that have this “GORGEOUS-LONG-SHOW IT OF TO YOUR GUY FRIENDS” kind of hair.
If your girl lost her beautiful locks to an accidental house fire would you fall out of love with her?
I would NEVER date you. You’re too consumed in looks. And you sound superficial.
But then again ignorance like this will NEVER be erased from the world.
Love your girl for who she is. Long hair or short or even bald……jerk
guest
@Kiara_Shurugi_18@xanga -
AMEN…THANKS FOR SHARING.
guest
I think women who have more masculine features on their faces tend to look great with short hair. But of course, feminine faces dwell well with short, cropped hair too! It depends on the face I guess.
guest
I loved this post. =)
My hair reaches my lower back, not to sound conceited or anything, but I get compliments on it all the time.
I don’t think it’s worth it for a lot of girls though, most long hair takes a lot of maintaining. I’m pretty lucky because my hair is naturally straight, I would hate to have to spend an hour every morning straightening it.
guest
why was this featured? no offense to the writer but this was not insightful in the slightest, nor was it informative. i’m all for freesdom of speech. keep writing! but seriously, what the heck is wrong with xanga?
guest
@Imnotcrazyjustinsane@xanga - HAH, right on. number 4 was just lame.
guest
hahaha, this is all crap.
my hair is just past my shoulder blades, and my boyfriend likes it.
but he also says he wouldn’t like it if it was any longer. he believes that it looks unnatural and makes women look like horses when there hair is too long.
it really just all depends on the woman..and the guy looking at her.
guest
my friend used to have average length hair, not SO long but long, but then she cut it short. i fucking love it. it is so cute, its like an angled cut and goes to her chin and she looks so good in it. i only WISH i could pull it off
one of my guy friends actually likes short hair. idk why haha. he’s always telling me to cut it really short, like a bob, but im like no. i dont think i can pull anything off except long hair. if i could rock one look, it would be the girl fauxhawk, like the girl from americas next top model, NAIMA!!!! http://z.about.com/d/realitytv/1/0/-/G/naimafinal3.jpg
guest
i had longg curlyy hair. it waas soo long and lovely but i decided it was time for a change i cut it to above my shoulders and now it has grown out slightly and i’ve gotten alott more “play” from guys with my short hair then with my long hair. i think i look older
guest
Whenever I have long hair, I love to tell guys about that I’m gonna cut it. In fertility terms, long hair signifies health to a man because it contains a history of good nutrition and proper maintenance (or it couldn’t stay long and healthy).
guest
This is funny… I actually had pretty long straight hair but one year I kinda went crazy and cut it right up to my neck. Of course I meet my boyfriend not six months after and he tells me he likes long hair. And after 3 years, my hair is finally long again! He loves it. I guess it just can’t be helped. ^^
guest
of course long hair is going to win my heart!
guest
interesting. I think I might ask my boyfriend why he likes the long hair, maybe he might have some of the same reasons
guest
I have had my hair short for years. I started a new college and a new program and have had no time to mess with my hair for months. Now my hair is all grown out and I hate it! Everyone says it looks so great long but I really hate it.
I think it doesn’t matter what other people like. Wear your hair how you like it. Never cut your hair a certain way because of what other people say. You’ll hate it and confidence really is the sexiest feature you can have.
guest
this post reeks of shallow-ness.
I love both long and short hair on women. I find it especially impressive when a girl looks good with short hair. I’ve had both long and short hair. Long hair definitely makes me feel more feminine and I get calls from guys alot more but I feel better with short hair, because I become less conscious of myself and of what society sees as beautiful…but rather just feeling beautiful as myself.
The end.
guest
Attractivness and the length of the hair got nothing to do with eachother! It’s just about which haircut best suits the person.
And this is just ridiculus! A girl should NEVER have her hair in a certain length or so, just because she believes guys like it better. I think some guys looks really good with shoulder-long hair, and my bf cut his hair short because it’s easier to take care of, and just feels better, and isn’t so hot in the summer.
Haven’t u considered that girls cut their hair for the same reasons? Why should we “suffer” just because of what guys prefer? And if a guy would be so stupid that he choose a girl partly because her hair is long- it suits him right if she cuts it short.
You wrote a sexist post- and I absolutely HATE it!
Everybody (both guys and girls) should cut their hair depending on what they look best in (what suits best with their head-shape), and what they feel good in- and everybody should respect it.
And you say “long hair feels good to touch”- just because someone got short hair doesn’t make it LESS smooth, probably smoother- because there won’t be those split ends.
guest
All the guys I’ve ever dated definitely liked long hair =)
I found this part hilarious and had to comment: “when they go out other guys will be like damn he’s lucky to have a girl with such gorgeous long hair.” Props. Ha.
guest
you are trying to hard bro, this article is ridiculous.
Long hair is nice, but no one really cares that much. And the first thing i notice on women is…well…not their long hair.
guest
I think wild, long, curly hair is sexy, if it is natural or very professionally done. It all depends on the girl. If her hair suits her, then it is sexy. If she is trying too hard, well, that shows in just about everything. More petite girls look good in long or short hair, tall girls sometimes look better with longer hair. Girls with rounder forms look better with fuller hair. It’s weird. But a rose will bloom and then will fade anyway, so dance in the sun while you can. I mean, look at the beautiful women from the 60′s with their long silky hair. Most of them are approaching social security now, if not already there and unless you’re Cher, you’re not going to get away with much for too long a time anyway. Hell, look at the beautiful bobbed women of the 20′s. Most of them are dead. So, feel the wind in your hair while you can.
guest
My husband does like to play with my hair. I’ve been growing it out to donate for two years now and it’s almost half-way down my back. I, too, think women look better with longer hair as long as they take care of it.
orchid / 106 posts
I knew there had to be some kind of scientific reasoning behind this. The reasons you gave were just sort of ridiculous. Guys’ friends don’t care if their friend has a girlfriend with long hair. What. But truthfully, I’ve never met a guy who said he preferred short hair. It’s either “long hair” or “it doesn’t matter, really”. As long as a girl’s hair isn’t nappy or dirty…I’m sure a guy doesn’t pay that much attention.
guest
this is the most stupid post i have ever read
guest
short hair is super easy to manage. i see people with long hair that is in the worst shape, but i’ve never seen anyone with short hair that is less than stellar.
guest
I could never wear my air short! Mine is about 2 inches below my shoulders and i love it! I don’t think men look good with long hair. lol
guest
The picture of the girl with frizzy long hair. How is that not sexy? In fact, I wish my hair were longer like that and in that style because mine is short curls. I dunno, whoever gave you these views might be slightly vain
guest
i have a friend that was able to rock a pixie cut. but she confessed to me that she felt less feminine and i remembered that she always chose to wear low cut shirts revealing her feminine assets to compensate. Then she grew her hair out, but she still wears low cut shirts, maybe even lower now.
so i’m thinking that the long hair just enabled her to flaunt her femininity and encouraged her to act more appealing to the opposite sex.
as for your blog, i agree that women with (healthy) long hair are more attractive, but just as long as they don’t use their hair as a constant security blanket. because sometimes i admire women who can wear their hair short yet have the confidence of a women with stunning locks.
and wow i just had a revelation. maybe the length of hair on women for some is tantamount to penis size for men. the longer the better, and the more confident that female/male will be. also there are evolutionary purposes for being attracted to women with long hair and men with large penises.
alright this is your blog not mine. great job. =]

sadly i have the asian afro DDDDDDDD=

Really?
Well from all the guys I know they said that they do not care about length of some girls hair. I have short hair now, and honestly, guys love me alot more now that I cut it :/
guest
my bf loves me with long hair. and i cut it off to my shoulders :/
guest
No. 1 needs a highlighter. Honestly, if the time is convenient, we should totally be allowed to touch “our” girl’s hair if we want to.
guest
im groing my hair out
it is taking forever
guest
My dad likes long hair and gets extremely upset when I cut it. Considering that I cut it every year, you’d think he’d get over it. Nope! My boyfriend likes long hair, but thinks that I’m beautiful no matter how I wear my hair. I just can’t shave my head or go blonde (I’m a brunette). One of my best guy friends loves short hair. To each their own.
guest
My boyfriend loves my hair when it’s long. When I cut my hair he tells me that I’m no longer attractive. As crude and funny as that is, I could really care less what he thinks. If me having shorter hair turns him off, then all the better for me ’cause I won’t have to pry his hands off of me every second.
When it comes summer, I always cut my hair so that it falls above my shoulders. Guys may love long hair, but they don’t understand how uncomfortable it can be when you live in a hot climate. Pony tails help a little, but nothing feels better than short hair during summer.
guest
haha i agree i love my long hair
guest
Agreed overall, but on some women short hair is cute.
One of my three rules about women I date is their hair must be longer than mine, but I’m not shaving my head for any reason. The other two rules are my little secret.
guest
Whether or not a certain hair length looks good depends on the person and their face shape/body type. There are a lot of women that look good with really short hair (like Kate Gosselin…her long hair looked terrible but her current short ‘do looks really good on her). But I agree that for the most part, women generally look better with longer hair. I hate myself with short hair. I will never cut it shorter than my shoulders. I cut it extremely short once and I immediately hated it and will never do it again.
guest
it’s sexy
guest
I don’t care much how long the hair is, but it should be clean and not infested with lice and otherworldly crawling creatures!
guest
@Kevin_is_a_pirate@xanga - Me =P But really, yea, I do. It’s just so beautifull…
And now I sound like a creepy-hair-fetish-having …creep. But I’m not! Really!
guest
Definitely subjective. And totally giving the wrong ideas to girls. It’s not how long your hair is. It’s how you cut it and how stylish and how confident you look. Short or medium length hair can be sexy just like long hair can be sexy. Example: Halle Barry was super hot with short hair. People really need to stop feeding stereotypes and break free from them. Get any kind of haircut you want and feel good about yourself.
guest
my bf hates long hair on girls — for as long as he’s remembered — all his ex’s had short hair — until i started growing my hair long — then again ive recently cut it again — long hair is just way too much trouble.
guest
Well but what if I like and want my hair to be short? hm…
does my bf love me because of me or my hair?

It’s genetics. Asians have fantastic hair, and more often than not it’s straight and silky. I think wavy shoulder-length hair is awesome, especially if it shines.

That sort of thing really just depends on the girl herself.
Straight hair can be beautiful when long, but for example, a tomboy can be incredibly sexy with her cute, short cut.
It depends on her type…for example, I love long hair, my hair is also quite straight. I tried to let it grow but it just ended up with a nasty little wave at the bottom. Now it’s shorter, much more convenient for me aswell.

A majority of my girlfriends have short hair. It’s rare to find a girl with long hair in my parts. It’s definitely hot though.

Agyness Deyn’s haircut looked awful. Nine of 10 women wholook good with short hair, look phenomenal with it longer. It just IS beautiful.

My boyfriend said it himself that he prefers long hair for me. One day, i decided to have a bob-cut coz i wanted to have a new look and i got tired of having long hair. He got disappointed. He said that i look WAY beautiful when i had my long hair. He thinks that girls who have short hair are sluts and flirty. LOL That’s his opinion. So now, im trying to grow my hair back. So far, my bf’s happy to see it.

Different people look good with different styles of hair.

ofcourse, these are all personal opinions and preferences. And that is what everyone is entitled to:)
To me, nothing is more sexier than a woman with nice long rich tresses, an incredible turn on. and watching a babe play with her hair…omg…an instant reaction to men. i am a slave to women with gorgeous hair ….just cant resist them.
those ones who do have long nice silky hair, i can only plead them not to cut it.
