I was thinking about it because I read an article today in a fashion magazine comparing long hair and short hair. It was an editor who had cut her hair, and basically made herself into a test subject, to see if men really do find short hair less attractive. She said that comparing when she had long hair to when she had short hair that she got significantly less attention from men. She even said that going home after her haircut and talking to her boyfriend, asking for completely honesty, he told her he was less attracted to her with short hair. She found herself getting more compliments from women and gay men than from men who were interested in her. (and about how short she cut her hair, I mean like pixie cut, boy short)
So I ask, mostly the men of the guild though I'm curious to hear from everyone, do you find short hair less attractive than long hair?
Personally, on men, I prefer shorter hair. Not really short but midlength. I don't find crew cuts attractive. Though if you can work the Caesar/Clooney cut then that's pretty sweet. After my first, and only boyfriend so far, I decided I wouldn't date a boy with longer hair than me. (It's not like I had super short hair either, my hair was shoulder length, when we broke up his was half way down his back) This would be about the longest I find hair attractive on a man.
On girls, it really depends on how you wear your hair. If you can pull off a funky super short pixue cut then kudos. I find it sexy in an edgy way. But hair that is longer, if worn well and not just limp and hanging there, is very attractive as well. Mega long hair, like butt length, is just obnoxious to me.
This may sound like a really shallow topic, because of course hair doesn't matter so much once you get to know a person. If I met a great guy with hair longer than mine it's not like I'd turn him down simply on choice of hair style. But appearance is the first thing people will notice will looking at you. They don't magically see your personality, unless at the moment you're in the middle of some insane body language, they see how you dress, your hair, your eyes. (We can debate this part all day though, just please don't. I understand that your personality does come out in how you carry yourself and clothing choice but that's not what this topic is about.)
So I'm genuinely curious about this.

depending on the style of the cut, how short their hair is exactly and if they make the style work for them, i actually like girls with short hair more then i do ones with long hair
god, im the first guy to have posted in threads like this (the only other being the who would you go gay/straight for thread)
but again, depending on the style of the cut, how short their hair is, and if they actually look good with whatever style they chose, i tend to find short hair girls more attractive then girls with long hair O.o
as for me, i keep my hair short, usually a ceasar cut, though for the past couple of years, ive been getting my hair cut at a salon that my aunt owns and ive been getting cut in the same style that my cousin gets his cut in (the son of the aunt who owns the salon, just for clarification)

Dornkus It somewhat depends on if it fits the person. It can also depend on if it's straight or curly and which style. Sometimes even color. But I don't really like short hair that much. As some hippie song states: "Shoulder length or longer!" (But not too long). Also, I like ponytails on females for some reason. As for my hair, I don't like it too short, but it gains a life of its own after it gets to a certain length. Unfortunately, that's only a little bit longer than my preferred length, so it's how I like it for a little while and then I have to cut it off.
Ponytails, that's interesting. Not bad but something new. Ponytails are cute.
Maybe you should cut your hair a little shorter than your preferred length so you get more mileage out of your haircuts? I tend to do that with my bangs because my hair grows fast. That and I finally realized that long bangs were doing nothing for me but impairing my vision.

Oh, I forgot the most important detail about that. Bangs. A girl needs bangs, especially with a ponytail. If the bangs are pulled back, it reminds me of an onion.
It's hard to find a good example on an actual person on the web, but I prefer ponytails like This (Yep, I had to rely on Lara Croft) Not This. A friend of mine suggested it may be because it gives a look of sophistication. I'm somewhat into things like that.
Actually, I have it cut down to much shorter than my preferred length. I think it looks like crap, but it grows to my preferred length in a few weeks, but then starts to go out of control shortly afterward.

I think it looks like crap, but it grows to my preferred length in a few weeks, but then starts to go out of control shortly afterward. If you don't like ponytails lacking bangs then I must ask what you think of the ponytail with the bump thing instead of bangs (Fourth image from the left in the top row. My mom put a weird thing on this computer that opens images in basically an editing software so I can't get to the page on the internet with the picture because it automatically opens befor I get to that page.)
If you do a ponytail right then it looks sophistcated, I do agree. When I throw my hair into a ponytail it's because it's hot and I don't want my hair on my neck so it just looks messy. So I tended to stop thinking of them as sophisticated.
That would be annoying to have such a short window of how you like your hair. You should learn how to cut your hair yourself so you can trim it when you think it's getting too long so you can always have your hair how you like.

It's better than when it's pulled back all the way, though.
It's not necessarily because they look sophisticated; that's just a plausible answer. Overall, I just like them for some reason.
The window is a bit longer than I made it out to be, but it's still smaller than I'd like. I have slight natural curl to my hair. My right sideburn starts to grow upward after a while.
