A. Not to mention lesbians tend to have short hair, they intentionally cut it that way to seem masculine. Personally I like girls with short hair, it can be a turn on for me.

Maybe long, luscious locks just seem to be nicer in general? It could be that the stereotype of short hair on women means she's more masculine in general still exists, too.

Anonymous · Answer

As a male with long hair I can tell you that lots of people dissaprove of it. When I was at school I would be made to have it cut if it got "too long" whereas girls with short hair werent told to grow it out. Some girls like my hair, some dont; I dont care as they are allowed a preference.

Mrwoo99 · Answer

I like girls with short hair but not in male styles like quiffs or some crew cut etc. Girls can look nice with short hair as long as it's a feminine style.

Although you should stay away from those women with short male hairstyle like the one OP displayed, especially the ones with tattoos as well. They're crazy feminists with a bad entilted and bitchy attitude that usually scream rape everytime a guy makes eye contact with them by accident.

Cause long hair is great on everyone so men persisted with long hair till it became normal. Some men can pull off short hair but it's generally not as attractive, so women don't cut their hair short much, so it's mostly a man's thing
