How important is long hair to guys?

Question

I was gonna post a picture of how I currently look but I’m a little emotionally sensitive right now because I just had a break up. So, girls supposedly get a new look when a breakup has occurred. I did just that. I shaved my head. I’m not bald but it’s barely a centimeter long. Kinda like Sinéad O’ Conner or Halsey I guess. I didn’t have long hair more like a bob haircut but when my boyfriend dumped me, I was obviously devastated and saw a picture of Halsey and on impulse grabbed the clippers on level 4 and shaved my head. I think I look more like me than ever but told I’ll never get a boyfriend now. I’ve bitched and moaned about being single for 4 years and I get in a relationship that lasted for a month and now I don’t want another relationship for another 4 years. So, I’m not worried about finding another boyfriend so soon. And I’m not gonna keep the shaved head, I do plan to grow it back out.
I personally like my new look.

I'll be honest with you. If I could see pictures, I'm sure I would hate your haircut. Personally, l hate really short hair on girls.

That being said, who the fuck cares what I think or what any guy thinks about 'the importance of long hair'. The ONLY thing that matters is that YOU like your new look! That's not a meaningless cliche. It's absolutely true. If you like your new hair, then it's the right hair for you!

You don't choose your clothes or makeup based on what guys thing about a certain style. You choose them because they are the clothes and the makeup which you feel 'show you off to best advantage.' In other words... because you think they make you look good. Because they are the clothes and the way of doing your makeup that YOU like best. Because that's how you feel you look your best.

If you feel like you look good, you have that shine and confidence about you. If YOU like the new look, it will be a look which suits you. You know 'how you're supposed to look' better than anyone. And you did say that 'you look more like you than ever'. I love that!

Listen. You will NEVER meet a guy who cares about this MORE than I do. It makes me want to cry when I see a girl do what you've done. I HATE short hair. Nevertheless, if I met a girl who I liked, and that girl happened to have short hair. I'm quite sure I would like her every-bit as much. If SHE liked her short hair, then that's the right hairstyle for her. It's not like I'm not going to notice her beauty just because she's got a shaved head.

You really shouldn't worry one bit. Don't worry about finding a boyfriend. This won't stand in your way. No guy who would otherwise like you is going to feel differently because you've got short hair.

Eh, not that important to me.

In fact, I kinda like it when women push the boundaries of social expectations and norms in regards to their appearance. As long as they retain their femininity and their secure enough to wear what makes them feel attractive/pretty, I will dig it.

Of course I have my other preferences of what I find attractive, but I would not be embarrassed or ashamed of being seen in public with a girl that's clipped her hair short. I normally shave my head myself.

The only problem I may have, seriously, is resisting the urge to "rub the head".

Ok look the skin head looks masculine. Men don’t wanna date a masculine women generally.

Also you shouldn’t care. look how you want and understand for every choice there’s consequences and benefits. You’ll have a harder time dating but if you find someone willing to accept how you like your hair great. But you could also never meet someone. So it’s having short hair a good enough reason to die without has I married? That’s up to you…

Finally… your not interested in dating so you shouldn’t care what men think about your hair.

I like long hair. I like curly hair. I like short hair. I like permed hair. I like different color hair. That doesn't make you Who You Are your heart the person on the inside the person that cares that's who makes you who you are I personally would like to see that picture so I can look into your eyes and I can see who you are the outside of your body is just an extra bonus

There's lots of nice short haircuts for women. Just like any haircut. It should really be determined by your head shape and hairline as to which is best.

What is important is if the  whole look  works. I've attached a pic of a cancer patient who can really rock the look. On the other hand, there was a secretary in a local office that looks like- um- looks like, er - hmmmmm - semi-shaggy crap! What matters is "does it work for the individual" - - - - - -

Shoulder length is max length for me. Depending on her face and personality, shorter may be more attractive to me.

I don't find long hair attractive. And I've been told long hair requires much care to keep it from looking like a birds nest.😉

My ex girlfriend did similar (we both did for charity) and she looked great, we even went to a winter ball, with her in a ball gown lol.

a lot of previous gfs including current have had short hair.

It looks good, nothing wrong with it.

AaronKrieger · Answer

Hair length doesn't matter, but just whether if it looks good on you. If you like the look on yourself, then rock it even if you feel uncomfortable as that'll pass

Doesn’t really matter. Good looks inside and out is what’s most important. You could have a shaved head or hair down to your feet. It doesn’t matter to me.

So if I was with someone it wouldn't matter. But every woman I see with short hair also dresses in a way that lesbians are portrayed. So important when not dating.

Jay3344 · Answer

Depends on the face but I like long hair. It really depends on the chemistry between the man and woman.

It's practically a must for me, though I could make an acceptation is she had other good charactertics. I can even work with neck length as long as it's not trimmed like a man's
