The good things that short hair can do for a woman can be similarly achieved by her simply putting her hair up.
Yeah, I agree. It depends on the chick. Some look fantastic with short hair, some look god-awful. Like you, I prefer long hair to short on my lady. Not too surprising, given that my own hair used to be halfway down my back - when I had hair!
I used to hate it. Now I don't mind it that much. I think it looks okay on bustier women, it puts more attention on her curves. It does work for the older, milfier mature types
Isnt it the same for tattoos and any kind of body mod - all about some self control self ownership thing. It doesnt matter if its turn off for guys. Its all about meeting some own independent concept of expression and comfort. Not only is it not about guys attention, really its for other women's validation too. A woman goes against the grain strongly and the whole sisterhood praises it strongly. Probably more worth it to a woman than the headache of guys advances.
This is a good point - I've always liked short hair, but now that you mention this I realize that it's a big factor. Women with shorter hair who have a really athletic build can be sexy as well, but women with shorter hair and a lot of curves on a small figure can look pretty damn good. I think it just depends on the chick - body type, head shape, etc. plays into it. My wife is one who can go either long hair or short hair - I like both for different reasons. But then, she's got double D's, so there's that.
