Why do many guys "HATE CURLY hair with a passion"?

Question

Okay, so I've been reading on this site that many men hate curly hair on women. Why is that? What if it's naturally curly? What is it that bothers you dudes?

My hair is layered; my shortest layer is right on my shoulders and my longest layer falls to the middle of my back. It is naturally wavy/curly and it has volume. It gets poofy but when it is done right, it can look far better. I have natural brunette curls and waves. I've been reading that guys prefer girls with their natural hair, yet a large percentage of girls straighten their hair if it's wavy or curly. Straight hair is beautiful but natural curly hair seems to have personality. It seems fun and exciting; it bounces whenever the person walks. What do you guys think?

Be honest.

It could be because most of the guys on this website are white and white guys generally tend to praise and uplift more European features such as pale skin and straight hair.

Sweetie, you can't get so caught up in the thoughts and ideas of GAG members. In actual reality, there seems to often be a significant difference between what guys here think is attractive and what guys out in the real world think is attractive. I'll leave GAG, go out into the world, and observe guys do the exact opposite of what guys here suggest. In actual reality, it's not a big deal if the guys on GAG don't like your curly hair because it's not like you're trying to win their hand in marriage lol it's not like they are the guys that you are crushing on and have some secret desire to impress deep down.

Curly hair is beautiful! Anyone can have straight hair: you can fry it, buy it, relax it, but there are some curls that no one can achieve unless they are natural. Some styles look better with curly hair, like pinning your hair to the side or putting it up in a ponytail. Don't be so self concious. Have pride in your curls and don't let anyone make you believe they are worth less just because they can't wrap their mind around hair that's not straight being desirable.

I agree with SunshineLelek's answer. Just the other day I said on a question similar to this, that while guys on here seem to dig straight hair, I see the opposite in real life and usually see guys hitting on girls with wavy hair. Every time I get compliments it's also when my hair is natural and wavy. Straight hair is flattering on most girls, that's a fact but I think a lot of these guys will fall for a girl regardless of her hair. If she has a pretty face and good body, I don't think hair can be such a deal breaker. Unless it looks crazy bizarre or is colored weird.  If curly hair was so awful then why do so many girls want curly hair for prom, dates, and spend so much time fussing about it. If no guy ever liked curly hair then I'm positive we would have realized this a long time ago :P

According to people here the worst type of hair to have is...

1. Anything with curls in it.

2. Kinky 4B-4C hair. Now I have 4C and my parents always tells me that 4C is the worst type of hair to have. It's ugly, it's hard to manage, it looks horrible, it makes you look unprestneble in public and guys don't like it. Hell, if I decided to travel while being natural I'd like to see how many negative reactions I get on how I look. I mean, if my parents hate how I look I'd like to see if everyone else feels the same way.

We don't hate curly hair. But I have noticed that girls with curly hair don't always take very good care of their hair. It's all messy at times. But we don't hate curls.

if its loose curls its can be very attractive     but I prefer straight hair.

It's less feminine, less manageable and doesn't compliment most women.

I have curly hair and wear it that way everyday mostly because I just don't care.

The only people who like curly hair are girls. And when guys like curly hair they like the "fake" curly hair.

well my hair is curly and I look cute and guys don't seem to hate my hair. I love big curly hair like a lion's mane. I think whatever looks good on you and makes you feel good is what guys like. I wear my hair straight, curly, wavy any way I want and get the same results.

I have naturally straight hair, and I curl it a lot. I think it's just a personal preference, my boyfriend's like me and likes curly hair.

Men don't hate curly hair with a passion.  Some men may not like it, but others do.

Koldhearted · Answer

Uh well

I feel like it takes away from your face. I feel like it frames your face (like a picture frame)

Another thing for me is I know (or think) females put a lot of time into getting it curly like that and it doesn't make you look any better.
