I noticed most guys prefer straight hair why?

[archiz]

It might be a silly question, but in my experience with the guys I know and dated a lot of them preferred my hair straight.
Some were even rude enough to ask me to straighten it permanently.
Of course a few prefer or like curly hair but they are much less weirdly enough.
I never understood why🤷🏿‍♀️ maybe they perceive it more feminine?

I prefer curly

I prefer straight

No preference, whatever suits the person

Some say straight hair is neater and more classy.
And some mentioned monica from friends 🤣
But there is a difference between curly and frizzy hair.

[Obtuse]

I went for no preference, although I do find I prefer straight hair on most women. I think you pull off the curls really well though.

"Why" is really difficult. I have to think about what it does visually and in terms of tactile (I think those are the two main senses I'm operating by). For tactile it's a bit simpler. If we take something like this:

Then I still think she looks very cute but maybe it'd be difficult to run my fingers through her hair in intimate moments. I might have to sort of work "around the hair". Whereas if she has something a bit straighter like this, there isn't that problem:

In terms of the visual, I think straighter hair tends to be narrowing/slimming for the face. I don't know why. But I think on more women than not, it tends to be flattering to sort of narrow/slim the face. Not all though. Some can really pull off the super curly thing, and I usually find they're the ones that have sort of "cute" features that play well off of it.

I might also just be influenced too much by Caucasian and Asian ideas of beauty where curly hair is quite rare. I think there is a little bit more to it than that though.

Maybe straight hair just looks neater and therefore more controlled and curly hair looks more messy and out of control? 🤷‍♂️
Just a guess I pulled out of my arse though. I'm not even sure if it's true men prefer straight hair to curly. I go by a hair by hair basis.

[archiz]

Ahahaha

I get more male attention when I straighten my hair but more women compliment me when I have my hair in its natural state. I prefer wearing my natural hair but people always try touching my hair, I hate it, so I either straighten my hair or get a straight sew in. Less people touching me.

[Jemini_Crocket]

I'm surprised as well 'cause I personally find both natural and not-naturally curly hair amazing and to be honest, prettier as well.

Lovely curves with long wavy/curly hair always were the "ideal" I learned from my parents and I thought it's like that for majority of the people.

[archiz]

Ah weird.
Where do you live?

[Jemini_Crocket]

Czech Republic.

[archiz]

Ow okay cool👍🏿

[Ripper_E]

Wow you are so beautiful. Love your picture

And I have no real preference. Switching it up every once in a while is nice, but if I find a woman attractive, it's not going to make a difference. Its her hair anyway.

[archiz]

Thanks! And true👍🏿

[Ripper_E]

It wouldn't have to be straight to be considered classy. I can go out with my friends or a date wearing the same articles of clothing, hacket, shirts, pants, shoes, but doesn't mean they would both be classy.

[archiz]

Got you👍🏿

[JackSmy]

I don't really know! I've only dated women with shoulder length, or longer, straight hair. I never thought about it!! Thanks for bringing it up, and now I am thinking!! I don't think I am biased, or against curly hair, but I have never dated one with curly hair!
I kind of prefer longer, darker hair, and I never really thought about hair color or type, might be some kind of preference. Something new to consider!

Weirdly i'm this way and can't explain it, I don't mind straight or wavy hair but don't like curly hair and there's no reason for it. I don't think it's less feminine or anything, just isn't my thing. I'm weird though, I also don't like glasses on anyone even if I know they're attractive in general.

[TripleAce]

We tend to prefer straight edges and more symmetrical shapes... the straight strands of hair can shape your face better, you can do a lot more with straight
Straight also hangs lower and easier to run your fingers through, which is desirable for a women you like

[MannMitAntworten]

On my girlfriend I do because too me it just looks better and it is natural to her anyway. But I do like when she adds a bit of fullness as she styles her hair whatever way she does so the ends are a bit more waved or whatever it is called. I just know I like how she does her hair.

[Tomsta]

Just personal preference, also i'd say it's easier for curly hair to go 'wrong' than straight hair

Like this for example:

[archiz]

Hahahahaha

[sdrawkcabosmi]

A lot of guys are just boring like that.
Personally, for me, it's about how her hair frames her face and head.
If you ask me, your hair is perfect for your look, but that's just if you ask 😘

[archiz]

Thanks!

[ZeussLightningBolt]

LOL
I know you asked this because of me
I don't know why I prefer straight. Curly looks weird to me, because it makes her look like she arrived in a time machine from the 70s. LOL

[archiz]

Lmao yea you reminded me!

[ZeussLightningBolt]

LOL.

[Matthew2222]

I really do not have much of a preference on this one. I love curly hair so long as it is red or blonde. Black hair is not my thing to start with, so I do not find myself liking a lot of curly haired girls though.

[Phoenix98]

For me it just depends on what looks the best on that specific girl some look better with straight hair, other curls, some wavy. but in general I do have a thing for naturally curly hair on girls as well as wavy.

[Meropatrick]

Looks cleaner and more tidy. The same with guys. Would u like a guy with tangles unkempt looking hair

[archiz]

I love curls on a guy🤣

[datgirl]

Same with me. People, guys especially, go crazy for me when my hair is straightened. Also, you died your hair red. Its a great look on you!

[archiz]

Now my hair isn't red though😅

[Dolemite510]

I’ve never understood either, curly hair is so vibrant and exotic looking in my opinion 🤷‍♂️

[archiz]

You are one of the minorities 🤣

[Dolemite510]

Curly haired girls need bf’s too 😛😂

[archiz]

Yea we need some lovin' too🤣

[Dolemite510]

I like ur new pic by the way 😄

[archiz]

Thanks!

[Barry88]

I prefer straight hair and in general I think I'm more attracted to girls with straight hair but it's not an issue if a girl has curly hair. If she has curly hair I wouldn't ask her to straighten it.

[beebella]

Maybe they're just used to your curly hair and they like seeing you look a little different? 🤔

[archiz]

No some asked me to straighten it permanently 🤣

[souravkumar60]

My girlfriends hair was also straight and i used to really appreciate that. For me personally it looks as if ur taking care of ur hairs properly. More to that it feels really nice to play with her hairs 😉

[archiz]

People who has straight hair look like they take care of their hair properly?

[souravkumar60]

That is not true actully bt it would seem to others

[archiz]

Yes definitely not true lol

[Sonorous]

I generally like curly or wavy hair. I don't mind straight hair but it doesn't look as attractive to me.

[Mollynotgemma]

Because if Rachel from friends! It’s been drilled into us that straight hair is the way! Fine are the 80’s with the perm!

[BrexitAteMyLobster]

It's just programming by fashion magazines and media. We consume fashion media propaganda, it tells us what to like.

[R3DthatDude]

Don’t know who told you that but as for me, I’m infatuated with curly haired women. Don’t know why, it’s just super attractive to me
