It reads like a rant, sadly. Yeah you have to maintain your hair if it's long, but most men just like long hair. Nothing wrong with that! I know how annoying it can be to maintain though, mine was once beyond shoulder-length long.
Preach it, sister! I wear my hair medium-length. That suits me, that makes me feel comfortable and that's what requires the least work on my part. I don't demand specific facial hair from guys, they don't get to demand specific hair styles from me.
Great take. A guy should accept a girl for how she is. Why did he pick her in the first place when there are other women that fit his tastes? Guy logic. Psh.
High five. What a man prefers is fine, but he has no say if a woman prefers to have her hair cut in a bob, mullet, or any other style. It is her choice.

In response to your comment about the lady at the hair salon... Heaven forbid someone do something to please their significant other...
My fiancee doesn't dye her gray hair streaks because I like her better natural. I shave because she likes seeing my face (even though it irritates my face to shave too often... I'd rather grow a beard).
Odd how when women won't compromise it's all "you go girl" don't give in to the oppressive man. When men won't compromise there is something wrong with them...
That sounds like a bitter way of looking at things.
Different people have different preferences. Some guys like long hair, some guys really don't like short hair. Calling people's preferences a "problem" is what's actually messed up.
Not at all. It's actually realistic. You need to realize that people's hair changes over time. Sometimes she'll have long hair, sometimes short. If you're so shallow and superficial as to abandon your girlfriend just because of a haircut, then you clearly never liked/loved her in the first place. Men (and women) who dump someone just because of something as minor as short hair are merely looking for trophy partners who look good next to them.
No, I'm not. And, I'd believe that had I not heard a girl in my salon say "no" to getting her hair trimmed more because "her boyfriend likes her hair long".
I also think shorter hair can look great, and longer hair can look bad, not that it matters, just to say that it is not an absolute rule of what guys like.
I've had more girlfriends whine about the way I do my hair way more than I've ever suggested they style theirs.

OH no... Guys have a preference, how dare they! When women stop telling men what to DO, THINK, and SAY. Then they can start getting upset about guys having preferences. Until that day... GFYS.
I guess you didn't read what I wrote, did you? I said I don't care that guys have preferences or that long hair even is one of them, it's when that preference turns into a demand to the point the girl won't do something because "it's what's her boyfriend wants" that it becomes a problem. For the record, this take can go for both genders, Preferences are fine, as long as they don't become demands. That's all I'm trying to say.
The number of things women INSIST men (partner or not) do or Not do, because THEY feel he should do it or not is endless. It is a societal accepted thing to insist men change who they are to suit the needs of women.
There's nothing wrong with having a preference. It's when you start forcing someone to abide by your preference against their will that it becomes problematic. I thought the Take Owner made that pretty clear.
Opinion in short, if women want short hair, let them have short hair... just know that there will be men who won't find it attractive and will pass you up because of it.

It wasn't a rant and I don't know why people think that.
Preach it, sister! I wear my hair medium-length. That suits me, that makes me feel comfortable and that's what requires the least work on my part. I don't demand specific facial hair from guys, they don't get to demand specific hair styles from me.
i agree. i have strong preferences but i know that i shouldn't try to force them on others.
Exactly, that's all I was trying to say.
Great take. A guy should accept a girl for how she is. Why did he pick her in the first place when there are other women that fit his tastes? Guy logic. Psh.

I saw that question too! Not cool.
I really liked this take though, well said 😊
Thank you.
My boyfriend likes long hair on a girl, but out of all long haired girls out there, he picked me and my bobcut.
I guess he passed the test.
What test?
He liked me even when I had my hair short.
Ah, okay.
Men have standards. Do as we ask, or find someone else. It's that simple.
That's not a standard, that's a preference.
its more like YOU need to find someone else if you meet a girl who won't change her hair for you.
Odd how when women won't compromise it's all "you go girl" don't give in to the oppressive man. When men won't compromise there is something wrong with them...
It's just hair. If someone dumps their lover because of a freaking haircut, then they DO have problems.

There is one thing I'd like to make clear. My hair is my ego. If someone touches my hair without permission prepare to have a mouthful.
Girls aren't the only ones who care about hair.
*touches your hair*
Oi. No! Don't your dare 😢
Geez, my ex-girlfriend told me I should grow my hair out and I declined but I didn't try and go off on her like this.
Go off? Why does everybody think I'm angry lol?
are you a crazy feminist or something?
not many men are like this AT ALL
No, I'm not. And, I'd believe that had I not heard a girl in my salon say "no" to getting her hair trimmed more because "her boyfriend likes her hair long".
Is that her boyfriend FORCING her though? I don't think so, sometimes both men and women do things that they're SO like just to be nice.
I wasn't aware that y'all had to deal with this stuff.
Dudes, stop being douches.
Great Take. I've seen a lot of that type of comments and you are spot on.
It's legitimate if someone is asking what guys like, but otherwise it can get dictatorial.
I also think shorter hair can look great, and longer hair can look bad, not that it matters, just to say that it is not an absolute rule of what guys like.
Yes!!! So true!! I remember having the same feeling when I read that. I love my pixie cut and people tell me it suits my personality so much. :)
The Tangled picture of Rapunzel that you put in your take is nice.
I agree with your take too
Thanks.

Well, I don't think it's right to demand something from someone because it's what you like, be man or woman.
There's nothing wrong with having a preference. It's when you start forcing someone to abide by your preference against their will that it becomes problematic. I thought the Take Owner made that pretty clear.
I happen to like pixie cuts. When Emma Watson got hers I thought it was great.
Opinion in short, if women want short hair, let them have short hair... just know that there will be men who won't find it attractive and will pass you up because of it.
I like pixie cuts if the woman is curvy enough.
