    You could cut off 12" and donate it to cancer patients and it'd still be "long".

    It takes years to grow hair that long. If you want to donate hair, go ahead and grow yours for that purpose. And make sure you research the charity first, there are stringent guidelines for what hair they will accept, so a LOT of donated hair gets thrown away because it doesn't qualify. Some of these organizations sell the donated hair, and some if them still charge the people for the wigs they make.

    I've had my hair long, and people suggesting I cut it off and donate it ticked me off because 1 - they didn't grow their own hair for that purpose, and 2- because they really knew nothing about how these "charities" actually work. Don't suggest to women that they give part of themselves away because YOU think it would be a nice thing to do. Go do it yourself.

    :huh: I've done it.

    I was just amazed that OP's hair is that long that cutting off 12" wouldn't be that noticeable.

    I prefer my own hair long.. I don't think I could ever pull off short hair.

    long....some girls can pull off the short but I'd still prefer long on them anyway.

    I've ended a relationship before with someone who tried to do the pixie thing. Just completely unappealing to me unless you are in the 1% category of women who could pull it off.

    Totally.

    I was going to reply long.....until I saw Jamie. Don't care about the length, given that face and smile. (ok...ok....I'm partial to tall women, like Jamie, like my wife, who has long hair :)

    Jamie Lee Curtis isn't that tall.

    It reads like a suggestion, not an observation. I misunderstood.

    My hair is past my waist. Guys are always commenting on it. I've never had short hair, but long gets a lot of attention.

    My hubby says he likes long hair much more on a woman and mine is almost to my butt now so...I think he may keep me.

    I agree with this people do comment far more with my longhair then they ever did when it was shorter

    It has been my experience over the decades of my life that most men prefer long .... as long as it is on the woman. Once a man has long hair & has to take care of it they find it to be time consuming and costly. Then I've seen them cut it short & keep it short. Wear it how you like it -- he does & you should too. Then you won't have to wonder if he'll still think you're beautiful if circumstances require you to cut your hair. All part of being true to yourself & finding the one who will love you for you and not because you are a piece of arm candy. You don't want that kind of guy.

    All things even, I prefer long. Of course, it all depends on the face.

    Gotta go with long. I only find a handful of women attractive with short hair.

    I still got good lovin' bald (he was actually very proud of me and so supportive), so guess it doesn't matter to him

    This is an obvious. All men like long hair. I think most women would prefer to have long hair. If I could have longer hair I would. Mine is super damaged due to the high chlorine in my water which fried my hair. Working on trying to get it back to being longer. My boyfriend doesn't hate my hair short, but would prefer it long over shorter.

    Most, probably, but not ALL.

    It all depends on the face the hair is framing.

    Long hair is a visual symptom of good health. In prehistoric times, long hair would attract a male eager to continue his genetic pool. That's why we now find it attractive.

    My husband doesn't seem to care. I have a short pixie. I find that when I grow my hair longer that it draws my face out and I look tired constantly. Even men would ask why I was tired. I think pixie (little faux hawk) has got to look better than exhausted.

    I've had long and short. I prefer the long. IMO its more feminine. It just flows, and is soft, and when it blows in the wind it looks real pretty :) Plus in the winter I use it as a scarf ;)

    p.s. I don't see anything wrong with asking men their opinions on things like this. In the end you will do what you want anyhow but just like going shopping with a girlfriend you ask their opinion, whats so different on this?

    Most women look better with their hair longer IMO, but it doesn't really matter.

    My husband says he doesn't really like long hair, but I sometimes wonder if he just doesn't like my long hair. It's fairly coarse and somewhat wavy, and since I don't like taking a flat iron and gallons of anti-frizz serum to it to make it look decent, it's usually up or braided.

    I think the majority like long hair, but some do actually prefer short. I hear so many compliments on my short hair from guys.

    I was reading an article today about men that prefer women with long hair as opposed to short hair.... is this just a stereotypical assumption or could it be true..come on guys lets hear your thoughts.....

    long or short??

    When it comes to looks, I tend to be a fan of shoulder- to mid-back length hair. But I can't recall hair length ever being a deciding factor in whether or not I found a woman attractive. I have, on multiple occasions, still been floored by shorter and longer hairstyles, usually as a result of how the woman carries herself, regardless of her hairstyle.

    What...no...I can grow my short hair to shoulder-length in about 4 months, people are always amazed. I like long hair on many women but not myself. I feel like Michelle Duggar, especially if I happen to wear a dress, skirt, or lots of jewelry with longer hair. I love wearing dresses/skirts with really short hair though.

    I think to each their own, but I honestly don't think "most" women would prefer to have long hair. I know way too many women who dislike long hair. I personally have such thick hair that when it's long I had to get it trimmed constantly and always wound up putting it in a clip or ponytail, so it rarely looked "nice". hehe
