I like women with short hair, provided they have a beautiful feminine face. If she is evenly slightly mannish looking on the face....don't do short hair.

Nancy boys? The Vikings and Genghis Khan? LMAO! Someone's jealous!!

We're talking about LOOKS here not warfare.

And nope. I don't like the Roman LOOK (I'm GrecoRoman in origin but I hate it. lol)

I am just having fun. No hard feelings on this at all :cool: And not jealous, because I can actually grow my hair long. I just like my hair short to really short.

I, for one, love women with short hair. I on the subway the other day, sitting across this girl my age who had this very short, wavy haircut. Her hair was like an inch above her eye brows. It went very well with her overall style of dress. She was incredibly pretty. I was trying to look for an "in" to strike up a convo, too bad she was glued to her damn phone!

 

Besides, short hair on women goes well with me. I now proudly wear long hair, badass hair.

 

I have the whole french-fro sort of thing going on. Like the hair you see in the new les miserables, on the sexy young revolutionaries. Except I actually wash my hair.

Just curious, you got married when you hair was long or short?

 

I had long blonde hair when I got married.

I see plenty of couples walking around where the woman has short hair.

I think a lot of older women do themselves a disservice when they chop their hair short...especially Ellen Degeneres style. I can understand that their hair is not as luxurious as it once was due to hormone changes, but I think many underestimate how much it can enhance their femininity when they get older, especially when they chunk up and also wear frumpier style clothing

 

It all depends on the woman, her style, her look, etc. I don't think ANYONE should wear frumpy clothing, "chunked up" or not. Everyone looks better in clothes with some structure and shape.

 

But short vs. long hair depends on the woman. I love my short hair, but my style would look horrid on someone else. It's about working with what ya got, and being who you are.

Not sure if anyone already pointed out, but Audrey Hepburn is just ridiculously beautiful

 

:love::love::love::love:

 

She certainly does, and she is a classic poster girl for short hair, but she has the gamine look and was very stylish, which helps to make for one sexy woman. If anyone has seen the movie 'Point Break' they should remember the surfer chick in that with very short hair (had the gamine look). She played a tom boy role, but still came off as sexy imo.

I agree, it does depend on the woman, and those I made the comment to, I really did think the short hair was definitely making them look less feminine and contributing to their long term singleness, and it was not just for the sake of all woman should have long hair. If a short hair single woman is getting plenty of attention, then it doesn't matter, but if she is not (even though she loves going to the hair salon once a month) I feel many underestimate the impact longer hair would have for them, just because no guys are making critical comments about her hair style...imo

Heh, so you did get married with long hair.

 

I wonder if thought your long hair was a plus before you started dating.

I have yet to meet a woman that looked better when she cut her hair short. But then again I have a hair fetish so I might be a little biased.

Anne Hathaway looks much better now with short hair. Very Audrey. Edited by FitChick

So, you know that someone was bound to ask; let it be me. Why on earth do you assume that it is your short hair that dooms you to a life as a spinster? It could just as equally be the halitosis that you are completely unaware of or that glum, sullen, depressed, "woe betide me" look on your face that is a constant, unrelenting feature of your personality.

 

My best advice is to be confident, be cheerful and look as if you are up to the challenge. It really doesn't have to be that difficult. As others guys have said, short hair styles can be sexy. If nothing else it can say, "I don't follow the herd". That in itself can be sexy.

 

I have no idea what age you are but the older you are as a woman the better off you are with shorter hair. You look less like mutton dressed as lamb, there is less awareness of the grey hairs, it suggests you are less self-obsessed appearance-wise, it suggests you are lower maintenance, it suggests you are confident in who you are as an individual. As far as I am concerned it is win, win, win all the way.

 

Just one caveat, and it is a very personal view, but does your short hair-style involve a straight-across fringe, helmet-style? Some women can carry this off and have hairdressers that are good enough to execute it for them but the vast majority cannot and do not. Have a look around the internet at other women's hair styles and ask yourself the same questions.

 

Women like Amber Rose, Sinead O'Connor, Debbie Moore etc, will inevitably look sexy with short hair, or probably long hair. They do have other attributes and would probably look sexy with a paper bag over their heads. If your hair style is up-to-scratch but your other assets, including your personality, are not, then you do have problems because it is about the whole package, in balance. Think of women who are good looking but not natural beauties eg. Helen Mirren, Dame Judy Dench, and so on. It's amazing what you can do with what you have, but you have to commit.

Anne Hathaway does look better with short hair and she just recently got married so it doesn't kill a person's love life.

Um, one way or another, it's a dilemma I don't think you or I, for that matter, need ever waste any precious time over.

 

P.S. I am willing to warrant that there is probably about 10 years between those two pictures being taken. Just sayin'.

 

P.P.S. Also, remember the power of air-brushing/photo-shopping. You ain't looking at reality in those pictures, especially the first as it is an out-and-out studio shot. It suggests all sorts of things you will never come across in real life.

Ok, how about something a little more recent.

I'd hate to be her boyfriend/husband after she got her hair cut.

 

"So how does my hair look?"

 

"Don't worry babe, you can wear a wig"

Not everyone feels that way.

 

I've had my hair down to my waist and up to my ears. My H prefers it long, but has driven with me to the hairdresser more than once to cut it short.

The thing is, the man has to be supportive, whether he likes it or not.

Do they have a choice?

 

This situation is something I'm wondering about.

 

If I'm dating a girl who has long hair that I absolutely love, and then she tells me that she wants to get a boy-cut.

 

Would I be able to support her decision (and like it?)

 

Even worse is if she gets it cut without warning me first, what am I supposed to do? Odds are I would completely hate the way she looks.
