2. I suppose that's true in a general sense

The average woman probably appears more attractive to men when she wears her hair long, but I can't help but think of some particularly beautiful women who rock very short hair.









Remember Sinead O'Conner, back in the day.



I'm currently in a stage where I'm determined to grow my hair as long as I can, even though it's incredibly thick and grows very slowly. I know, however, that I probably look better in medium to short hair. I think many of us make choices about our hair and clothing that have little to do with men. Certainly no one wants to look unattractive, but women also care about fashion, practicality, and pleasing ourselves. If I was making some sort of political statement in cutting my hair shot when I was younger, I certainly wasn't aware of it. I changed my hair because I felt like it. I also recall getting more attention after cutting my hair just because it looked nicer. Or perhaps it was because I felt I looked better, and that confidence made me more attractive.
