Are you really this neurotic? |
Yeah. |
Hm, no. After 35-40 very few woman have shiny, healthy looking hair. Hair, like skin, ages., no matter how well you care for it. Long old hairs is not pretty. Woman with long thining hair look pathetic. |
Of course you are confounded. I bed you don't even shave your pits. |
If not shaving your pits means a person is confounded, then that explains a lot about you. |
To other women. The "aging hair" argument probably has a nugget of truth, but so much of the short hair pressure seems to come from women demanding that other women "act their age." It's like an older woman wearing a min-skirt. A lot of guys might think she looks hot, but the hens will go after her for looking tacky and not looking her age. |
| Haven't read pages of responses but my DH and I share our preferences without any issues. He prefers me with longer hair, for sure, and when we go on vacation he doesn't shave because he knows I find it sexy on him (but he can't go to work that way). That's just one example but there are other things too. If you have a good marriage and love and respect each other then why should it be a landmine to express your preferences? I know DH will still love me and want to have sex with me if I cut my hair short but he definitely prefers it long and that's fine with me. |
Wow, a very intellectual arguement and poorly spelled. Way to go. I do shave my pits. And my legs. And my undercarriage. I get my hair done regularly, and I have a drawer filled with sexy lingerie that I wear. But - I don't do it "for" my DH. I do it for me. I do it because I lovefeeling sexy and turning him on, I do it because he makes me feel sexy every day, regardless if I am in pajamas with a snotty cold, in yoga pants and a ponytail, or in candlelight wearing black lace with my hair tumbled all around. I am not there for his enjoyment. I am there to share in the enjoyment together. The fact that so many on this board can't understand the difference just shows me why there seems to be so many unhappily sexless marriages out there. What makes a woman feel sexy is being happy in her own skin, at all times. Needing to play a part to meet her partner's exacting standards undermines that. |
You sound insane and long winded. Do you jabber all this nonsense in your husband's ear as well? |

Not every woman can pull of short hair.
Remember when Sheryl Crow cut her hair in the 90's? Yikes. Simply remark to your wife that you prefer her hair a little longer, that you will miss running your hands through it, etc. But also tell her what a beautiful woman she is with or without long hair. Do not tell her she should let it grow longer, after all she is an adult and can wear her hair any way she desires. But you still have every right to voice your opinion. As long as you do so lovingly and without judgement. |

And I think that what you are saying is total B.S. I've had a short cut since I was 22. Long hair just does not look nice on me, at all. I had a short hair at my wedding (at 27), and let me assure you that I looked great. My husband absolutely adores my look and when I let it grow a bit longer than usual, he asks when I will have it cut again. He loves it when my neck is open and he really loves kissing my neck. To say that ALL women look better with long hair and that ALL men prefer long hair is a rediculous and untrue oversimplification. |
So you figure short hair on the wedding day is about 50/50 then? I will concede that there are exceptions. But I still contend that, for most women, when beauty is the goal, they go for long (or at least longer) hair. There are other considerations that lead to the bob, but the short cut is a sign that looking good for her spouse is low on the priority list. |
In general, short hairstyles are more trendy. Long straight hair is classic and will not look dated in 40 years. I think that's why some women grow their hair out for weddings. We also know that long hair appeals to the masses. But that doesn't mean we think we look more beautiful with long hair. |
