Oh and as for why I don't know if there's a good answer. It's like asking why you like your favorite color. It's just the way it is. Though I do like the way long hair moves. I still remember the morning this cute chick from the 7th floor was in the parking garage and she was sorta leaning forward and draping her hair down in front of her and then she whipped it back. I was driving by and just thinking "yummy what a nice start to my day". She has since cut her hair short and is no longer "the cute chick from the 7th floor". Now she's just some chick.

Nope, not whipped (nice try at the euphemism, though). I like long hair. I like short hair. Curly, wavy, straight, blonde, brunette, red, and occasionally clubbish. I like ‘em all, but I don’t necessarily like ‘em on all women. Beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder; it is in the appearance of the beheld.

I think some men are so “attracted” to long hair—and big boobs—because it leaves no room for doubt about their lack of slyness. Short hair and flat chests can mean only one thing: you swing the other way. Which I hasten to point out is surely not the case for all those here present…

Her cuteness evaporated with her hair? Hmmm. Maybe the hair was all the was cute, then?
I don’t know. I’m just trying to feel you. You know, in a manly, figurative way.

GRABABILITY!
I've known women who have their first child and their hair seems an attraction. While holding their infant they find the child adores pulling on their long locks. Depending on endurance these women finally get their hair cut so they can have some rest from loosening the grip of their childs claw from their long strands. I certainly can't blame them for this. I would do the same thing.
I certainly would never grab a womans hair, unless we were in a tussle. A friendly tussle. I much rather run my fingers through it.
And to add to this topic; I prefer raven colored hair over any other. I lean toward the dark side of the force.

I don't know but I think it was hiding some of the blandness of her face and she seems to have gotten extremly skinny since then. Not sure if it's an optical illusion or if she really lost a lot of weight. Either way it's not an attractive look for her.

Nah I'm more a leg man than hair. Though it's not all about the legs.
The topic was more because I tell my female co-worker friend that she should grow her hair out all the time. I just tell her that she'll get more men that way. Then yesterday she found some "dear abbey" type thing about just that subject. The lady basically said the guy is a jerk for telling her to change anything about her. Then she went on to say that the few guys she asked all agreed with him

Hmm Zeek.. well I think any guy who needs a girl to be a certain way to like her ( must have big boobs or long hair or something) is a jerk, but if he just prefers it and says so.. no big. To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others.

I think those are two very different things though. Hairstyle is pretty easy to change. Boobs are talking surgery or there's no real other options. If you had a guy friend who never combed his hair or shaved would you think it would be out of the question to tell him that doing those things will increase his chances of getting noticed? I don't see that as being a jerk. I see that as giving feedback.
That being said I still think it's a matter of honesty. The girls with the best looks are on average going to get the most attention from guys. You can refuse to play along but you're not going to convince many guys to change their minds. It's pretty much game theory at that point. Even if all women started letting themselves go eventually one would betray the others to get an advantage for herself. Then it just dominoes from there. So, if attention from men is the goal then you either play along or give up. I guess you could also say the majority of guys are jerks

Hmm well really research shows average looks, plus confidence will get you more than being super hot. Plus there's the getting someone v keeping someone. You can be really hot and you might not be able to keep them 'cause you suck...
But I think the woman in Dear Abby was talking more about a guy who basically pulled the " cut your hair and I won't like you anymore crap" or when guys or girls constantly put down their SO and pick on how they look...
But sure if you prefer something say so, just don't be surprised if they tell you where to go.... I figure you're welcome to have an opinion but don't expect someone to change to meet your specifications.
and I love that you equate basic grooming in men to a specific type of hairstyle in women...you're so adorable:)
Oh and totally agree that most women dress up, and spend all that time not to attract a guy but to compete with other women... sad To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others.

Nope the link was about a friend telling her that if she wants more male attention then she should grow her hair out. Though he did say something about girls who tell her they love her hairstyle are lying to her just cause they know it's bad and give them an advantage over her. That last part really seems rude to me.
And long hair isn't that specific. There are plenty of different long hair styles. My earlier definition was shoulder length and beyond. I bet you could find a hundred different styles that fit that bill.
The comparison isn't perfect because it's difficult to think of something women would even come close to agreeing on for a guys looks that he has control over. I guess maybe clothing style but even that I think you'd have a much harder time reaching any kind of consensus.

Even though I have said I prefer long hair, when I look back I know most of the women I have dated have had short hair. So I would not be upset if a woman I was dating suddenly cut her hair.
I would probably follow the manual and say, "Hey that looks great. But you always look great."
