Guys, why do you like straight hair?

[Anonymous]

Saw a post ( Guys, what is your favourite hair length for a women?) and the votes are overwhelmingly straight. So curious as to why.

Is it a racist thing? Curly hair = African

Is it some cultural thing? I know there are Jews who straighten their hair because of discrimination so it is a related cultural thing?

Is it some jealousy/insecurity thing? Straight hair is uniform (even, in ways, bland) compared to waves or curls so do you perceive straight hair = less interest/competition?

Is it a byproduct of mama straightening her hair? If you grew up with a mother/siblings/aunt who straightened her hair maybe you grew up perceiving straight = good.

Is it a social media thing? I know people, particularly younger and/or insecure ones, depend heavily on social media for their perception of what's attractive so is it that?

What is it?

Racist Thing

Cultural Thing

Jealousy/Insecurity Thing

Familial Thing

Social Media/Celebrity Thing

*rolls eyes* of course it's a personal preference but those have deeper roots. Try to use thy teeny brains and figure out why.

Most of the attractive women/females/girls have straight hair (due to there being more straight-haired women, in general) so when the thought of an attractive women/female occurs (and since the brain basically ignore things that it doesn't consciously or subconsciously like, and even full humans by the way and/or only notices them as a threat) it images, consciously or subconsciously someone with straight hair.. this doesn't mean it would choose a less attractive female with straight hair over more or far more attractive female with curly hair, when it actually sees them in person, or via a digital or printed medium... this manufactured bias will probably only exist/show when you ask them and not show them the pictures of both or either...

That's not true. There are many girls that look nice with curly hair:

Every girl with dark curly long hair I have seen has a beautiful hair for my eyes. But sometimes, if her hair is mid length it looks better when it's straight because it seems longer.

The only truth is that I prefer girls with curly or straight hair than wavy. That's because curly or straight look tidier to my eyes than wavy.

It's just what people think looks nice, how can that possibly be racist? I don't know if you can even say its cultural since loads of black women wear wigs or straighten their hair and if anyone found curly hair nice it would be people who grew up around mostly black people.

I used my teeny brain and now I can see we're all racists. I hate black people because they have curly hair, thanks for educating me.

Ugh. This post is super directive. It seems you are looking for a specific answer. Even Freud said "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar"
How about why do I like the color blue. Does it mean I am racially biased against the other colors? Did social media train me? Am I a mama's boy because I like blue?
Give me a second to consult my teeny brain and see where the roots for the color of most of my shirts comes from. By the way, I don't have a hair preference. ;)

Oh come on - racist?
Look at the question, it was about hair LEGNTH" not straight or curly.
Have told many women, 'Any hair stuype. all your female thinks would look SOOOOO cute on you' is going to be hated by most males.
As a 67 yr old male, that DID march with Dr King, and was beat up by rednecks as well as radical blacks, I can tell you.
Get the 'race' chip off your shoulder. It is NOT always a racial thing. This one is about legnth. If you saw a question about mens.. ummm endowment, asking what 'legnth' you prefer. Is thaty racist? No I dont think so.

I have wavy hair personally but if I let it grow too long, it curls into a puffball and looks absolutely ridiculous. As a result, I dislike curly hair, especially when it is long. I do not like short-haired women, so that leaves women with slightly wavy or straight hair shoulder length or longer. It has nothing to do with race, culture, jealousy or any other BS excuse people are giving you.

First of all, straight isn't a length. Second: I like wavy and curly just as much as straight.
I have no clue why other guys like particular types of hair. They're probably just followers and conformists. All I can say is I know beauty when I see it, and that does not always include straight hair.

Well, I did not see your previous thread on hair.

But there isn't many things more beautiful on this earth than a "Black" woman wearing a natural. I didn't who Taraji P. Henson was until I saw her in "Talk to Me". But I found out.

There was no option for me to choose, I like all beautifull hair maybe straight more because I love just running my fingers through her hair and with straight hair it is easier🤔 there is this girl in my work place who has this beautifull black hair all the way to her buttocks and i just want to run my fingers through it🙈

[Ramtastic]

None of said reasons, I like the silky feel of the hair running through my fingers when a girl has her head on my lap.

Also long straight hair looks more aesthetically pleasing to my eye and long straight hair is good to grab a hold of during sex.

That doesn't mean I'd not be with anyone with curly hair it's just my preference, but I also like girls with bright dyed hair, pink, blue, red etc

These things are largely a matter of fashion. Back in the early 70s Farrah Fawcett-Majors ("The Bionic Woman") was the apex of appeal, and had a vast mop of curly blond hair (permed?).
And through the 80s most women seemed to have perms.
Right now straight is in. Might that be because reliable straightening tongs became cheap enough for most women to have them?

Yes, I used my teeny brain and guess what- it's still a preference!

FYI- When I worked at a 5+ spa, I had two female client who had alopecia, and guess what? They were really sharp-looking gals, with or without their wigs. Plus, scalp massage was much easier to do on them!

This is a preference too.
