IME, I did and for years, many people including coworkers assumed I was gay. I found myself being hit on by many more lesbians than before. Later, I got married and introduced my coworker to my husband and she said “Marrried?! But what about Larla?” She had always assumed I was gay and dating my best friend/co-worker.
I don’t why people would just make that assumption over hair. I would never do it again. It didn’t matter that I worked makeup and jewelry. Just having short hair confused too many people.
I think this is super sad. My 15 year old got a pixie before freshman year last year at a new high school. She was literally the only freshman with short hair. Everyone assumed she was a lesbian. She is growing it out, even though she looks great with short hair.

Because it's faster and easier to pull your hair back/up than to style a short haircut every day (unless it's crazy-short). Leaving it long also gives you more options--up or down depending on your mood and the occasion. Once you go short you're stuck with it.

I feel like actresses with delicate, pretty features and good bones look better with short hair. They look pretty with long hair, but it sort of overwhelms them, and they are striking with short hair.
