Hello. It's been almost three years since I was last active here on EoFF.

I've been curious. I've read in Seventeen magazine that men are biologically more attracted towards women with long hair since it signifies health and femininity. But it also said women who look sassy with short hair are head-turners as well.

Three years ago I had long hair. I had it cut up to my shoulders and my ex-boyfriend hated it. My hair is long now down to my bra-line though I have a Hime Cut now except with sideswept bangs instead of straight. Here's a picture in case you haven't seen it yet. My current boyfriend demands that I don't cut it anymore.

Anyway I know the bottom line is it all depends on the guy or girl's preference but I just want to know what others here think. Thanks for the time. :D

It really depends on the girl, mostly. I'm not big on super-long fairytale hair. Or girls with buzz cuts. But other than that, I really don't have much preference. Just as long as the girl wears it well and it suits her

I'm curious about this. Hux always tells me to cut it super short, but most guys like long hair, don't they?

I'm growing it out loooong and curly. I just dyed it dark again. It's going to be a mix between this and this. The length and color of the second, and the curl style and fringe/bangs in the first.

Hate short hair on women, always have. I'm talking Brigette Nielsson type short hair, not a bob or such things.

So, I prefer Long. Next question.

You're with Huxtable who likes it short. You should keep it how you like though, not depending on other people.

Long, it makes girls look less like dudes.

Although some men now have long hair and small feminine shoulders. It's creepy.

I've had so many hair styles in my short life...

I've had really long hair, different layers, different types of bangs, hair that rested on my shoulders, and five million varieties of short hair. This one time I cut all my hair off and wore it like a boy's. I loved it!

Yeah, guys didn't like that.

Even when my hair was short and layered around my face, like a pixie thing, guys still weren't as interested as when my hair was longer.

Men. Very prejudiced toward long hair in my experiences. Good thing girls care less.

Depends on the face shape. Some girls can pull off long hair, but pretty much any woman I have seen looks weird with a buzz cut. I personally prefer my hair to be medium length. Just a bit pass my shoulders as it is now.

The shortest my GF has had her hair is till' her neck and I like her longer hairstyle very much.

I'm not particularly picky about hair length. Short hair can be cute or sexy, but really, it's all about the face. If the girl with short hair looks more like a dude, then it's definitely not the hairstyle for her. :nonono:

Though, I do prefer long hair.

Singing to the choir.. I like ladies with long locks... It can be at any length and cut so as long as it suits her face...

I absolutely love it when a girl flips her hair to expose the nape of her neck...:drool:


Also the most prized maneuver is when she keeps her hair up and then lets down.. That move is gold for me..

My girlfriend's had long hair in the past and now she has short. She pulls off both looks quite well, but her round face probably suited long hair just a little more.

So it really depends on the woman's face shape, but in general, I'm more attracted to women with long hair.

Yeargdribble
07-13-2010, 09:31 PM
I don't like it super short, but I do really like it around shoulder length or even a bit shorter. I don't dislike long hair, but I like the aforementioned length better. However, some people's face and body shapes are less conducive to one length or the other. I dislike it when these people have hair either long or short that makes them look considerably worse.

This is a preference thread, not a demanding thread. My girlfriend can wear her hair however the hell she wants it, but I would prefer that she keep it slightly longer than shoulder length.

I've read somewhere that only a chosen few girls can pull short hair off. I mean just look at Rihanna, Halle Berry and Katie Holmes. Don't they just look fabulous? Reese Witherspoon also wears mid-length hair quite well.

I found the following information on what your hair says about you and I liked what it said about shoulder-length hair.

From What your hairstyle really says about you - Hairstyle.com, Hair style advice articles, Hair color, Hair cut, Hairstyle (http://www.hairstyle.com/hair-articles/what-hair-says-about-you.htm)

Secret Signals Your Hair Sends:

Short

Cropped hair is often interpreted as signifying intelligence, openness and honesty -what you see is what you get. As a rule, shorter styles also tend to make younger women appear older and more sophisticated.

Shoulder length

A woman with medium-length hair is usually perceived as classy and strong. People often view her as powerful, and someone who exemplifies both brains and beauty.

Long

If long hair is well kept, it suggests confidence and sensuality. But watch out for unkempt styles, which send a very different message: that the person is trying to cover up the parts of her body or face she considers flawed.

Curly vs Straight

Waves give the impression of playfulness, warmth and carefree nature; wearing your hair straight tells people that you are together, polished and stylish.

Ponytail

A neat, traditional ponytail is the picture of poise - it's a good style for meeting your boyfriend's parents or giving a presentation in front of your boss. A pony tail higher on the head conveys a more casual, energetic look.

Beauty and brains... Makes me wanna cut my hair up to my shoulders again. XD

Hair that goes from the top of the head down to your shoulders? That kind of shoulder length? If so, I define that as long. I define short hair as not touching the shoulders at all - more neck-height than anything.

I have pretty short hair. I cut it all of because I was tired of being told I looked like I was 13-15 when I'm really 19, and I thought a shorter hairstyle would make me look older.
It did, and I liked the cut, but now I'm ready for my long hair again, so I'm growing it out.

Plus all the guys who've seen me or pictures of me with long hair tell me I look better with long hair and that I should let it grow.

The question asks if we prefer long or short, and a line has to be drawn somewhere. *shrug*

EDIT: I suppose someone could add in 'medium length' but nobody has mentioned that so far so I haven't gone down that route.

Perhaps I'm a little strange, however I don't feel that I have a strong preference. Sure I like hair to be around shoulder length or longer but I mean it depends on how the girl looks in regards to everything else. Some girls I know would look sexier with long hair because of the shape of their faces, bodies and everything else and some girls I know would look sexier with shorter hair than they currently have. When I meet a girl and end up in a relationship I generally don't meet them thinking "oh they're pretty but if only she had long hair" it's "Oh damn, she is hot, funny, intelligent god damn I like this girl!" I don't want them to be different, I just want them as they are there and then. In fact my ex once dyed her hair brown because she thought it'd make me happier (because most of the girls I have dated are brunettes and a majority of the actresses/singers/celebs I have crushes on happen to be so too) I was surprised and whilst yes I liked the brown hair and everything after a couple of months I was really like "I miss you being blonde" to her because I just didn't associate the brown hair with the girl I met a couple of years prior.

People have different definitions of long and short when it comes to hair. I used to only cut my hair every 3-4 years, so it would usually be somewhere between boob and waist length. I considered shoulder length and shorter to be short hair, until I started actually caring what my hair looked like and started looking at websites and magazines for ideas. I cut mine to about chin length in middle school when I wanted a change and it was pretty terrible (I didn't take care of it, nor did I have the right face for the style). I vowed never to cut it shorter than three inches below the shoulders again! Then I moved in with my boyfriend and he couldn't even sit down without me asking him nicely to get off of my hair, so we cut it a bit shorter than shoulder length and we both love it. Not only does it look a million times nicer, but it's a lot lighter and convenient!

I don't always dig crazy styles, though unnatural hair color can look amazing. I loved this one girls hair, she had turquoise streaks in it and it was :love:.
