slightly off-topic but appropos of physical attractiveness in potential partners:

re: hair, I agree Little Hawk, some women look absolutely feminine and beautiful with short hair and it is very dependent on the shape of their face, head and their personal style...as for their sexual orientation, many lesbians wear their hair long. Kendall, not everyone is from Maine! LOL...

I was kind of forced to wear my hair short until my late teens (too unruly to deal with) and now would never cut it short again; it just doesn't look good on me. Even though my long hair is a pain in the ass sometimes, I can't imagine cutting it short. I think many women cut it short (or do so in stages, thinking they need to get it "done" every few weeks) to make things easier, and on many older women this is quite unattractive...again it completely depends on ther woman. Sometimes a short hairstyle on a less-than-ideal facial structure can be made very nice with the right clothing style    (long flowing things for movement etc.)

While we are on this subject of hairstyle and people not having a clue what looks good: what is with all these younger men shaving their heads??? I readily admit this is sexy on some guys, but most of them look like cretins this way. Please, men, stop shaving your bulbous heads!

The guy I am kinda seeing now (long distance relationship) had very long hair when I met him, cut it short before we finally got together this summer. He has really nice hair, too, thick and full (he is 47) so it's a shame he cut it. He also wears a goatee. I am wondering when this beard style will finally stop being trendy.
