Is it true that men prefer long hair on women? I've been told by some other women I should get my hair cut short because it would be neater and "easier to look after" but I don't think short hair looks good on me.

Just about every man will say he prefers long hair. I keep my hair long for that reason, even though I actually look good in short hair too.

Long hair takes more care (more time washing, blow-drying, etc.), but if you let it get long enough, you can just put it all in a ponytail or nice clip, which is easier than styling short hair IMO.

I quite like short hair on a woman actually. Maybe I'm not a 'man' then, good for that

Pony tail? Fair enough but not an eye opener by any stretch.

You'd notice it's absence.

Those pics I posted are of the same woman, for contrast.

Short hair does not equal MAN HAIR.

Obserruv:


Is nice!



I disagree with this pigeon. This hairstyle is not worth crapping on.


Hillary's surprised that Bill cheats on her, but I'm not.

There's a difference between "cute" and "I don't care about being sexy".

The point is that you are seeing her hair, and not an artificial hair covering we associate with our grandfather.

If the sole intent is "easily managed hair" the effect is "not on the market".

Why should anybody be on the market anyway? Crass commercialism has already invaded our lives far enough!

I'll tell you when you're older...

I'm older now...

Do you know how bad I want to make an "Opening Pandora's Box" joke right now?

I won't, though. That's just rude...

Lately I've been addicted to a show called "12 Corazones." This is a Spanish language dating-game television show in the USA (it comes from Los Angeles).

One thing that I have noticed: the women obviously put a lot of effort into their appearance. Make-up, hairstyles, high-heel shoes, revealing clothing, generally designed with the objective of causing men to lose biological control, which can easily happen.

The men on the show, however, generally dress like slobs. They look like they are getting ready to clean the garage, rather than to impress a beautiful woman. Their shirt tales are almost always hanging out, and sometimes they even wear ripped clothing.

Each show begins with twice as many women as men, so the odds are always in the men's favour.

The show is explained here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_Corazones

Interesting...

Here is one example of what I'm talking about

You can see that the ladies are very attractively dressed. Some of the men are wearing blue jeans, and all have their shirt tales hanging out.

By the way, some of you folks who are in the dating market might like to try to appear on the show. The show is on 5 days per week, and they occasionally have a Gabacho (this is a Mexican term that refers to an English-speaking American, and the 'b' is pronounced as a 'v') who doesn't speak much Spanish, or a Gabacha (the female term). The Gabachos (and Gabachas) are very rarely voted out, and almost always end up finding their Corazon by the end.

So, maybe you guys should try to learn a little Spanish and get on the show. The gents wouldn't even have to get dressed up. Just remember to take a bath, put on something freshly laundered clothes at least, and remember to brush your teeth and use some mouthwash before the show, since you have to kiss at the end.

Hmm there are some interesting generalisations cropping up here.

Don't assume 'men like ____ hair' because as with above example, you can be that gorgeous red-haired chick our you could be Hilary. Same is true with long hair. It's all about how it looks on the PERSON it's ON. Just like you can't assume 'women like _____ brand of clothing on men'.

Just like with clothing styles themselves. Shirts look good on some, 'nice' t-shirts look good on others. There are some big do's and don'ts, (like wearing socks, flip-flips, board shorts and a shirt and tie all at the same time) but ultimately you have to do what enhances your own natural attributes

Those men aren't dressed down as much as you may think. The whole untucked shirt thing is considered "in" right now for guys, and is acceptable for dressing up for younger men. It's a funny thing about the women, however. I know that in California, in some places, women are expected to dress in very revealing clothes. It's a culture shock for anyone if you aren't used to it. I'm from the south/midwest, and the most revealing clothes girls will wear here are short shorts and a tank.

For me, as an NT, I can say that I do understand the importance of well fitting clothes, or at elast clothes that make you feel good. I was also one of those kids who wore those pant and shirts that didn't fit or were waaay off when I was in middle school, and personally I couldn't wait until i could dress myself the way i wanted. So I like to look feminine and different. I never really liked preppy type of clothing; what I like on guys seems to be more of a skater look. Someone mentioned the "bad boy" appeal with the leather, I would equate my attraction for skater looking clothes on males to that. My Aspie boyfriend has this style, but it's much more relaxed- plain, well fitting shirt, jeans, skater shoes- looks good to me .

Hey, guys who want to be taught fashion and social skills should try out for "Beauty and the Geek." You get to team up with a beautiful woman, learn from her, get a total makeover, and as a bonus, you get to help her to be less insipid. At least, that what the show seems to me - I haven't watched but part of an episode here and there.

Pretty much how that show goes, yeah. From what eps I did see, half of those guys have gotta be Aspies

It's essentially that though - guys learn some fashion sense, self-respect (for their outward selves), social skills...while they in turn change a basically stupid pretty girl into someone with some more substance, intelligence and worldly knowledge

Entertaining, but a rather shallow show overall.

Fashion eludes me, I have no idea what it is at any given time, I don't really notice what other people wear unless it really draws my eyes to them. It depends though. On my partner, I love jeans, a tee-shirt, and his long hair, which is gorgeous.

Myself, I like strange or different shoes or boots, fishnets and tights, pinstripes, layers, vests, sometimes lots of colour and sometimes some black, lots of accessories. Like necklaces, rings, bracelets. I have dyed hair and am tattooed.

The reason I dress in that way is because I hate to look in the mirror and see myself as 'uninteresting' to look at. If that seems superficial, well that's how I am. I do not judge people on the standard of their clothes; the mirror-thing is something that applies to me only.
