    Yes. I do find it very attractive.

    I mean short hair as in nearly boyish hair and not just woman that could have long hair but have it shortened.

    A beautiful young french woman recently asked me directions at Dublin airport with the hair I describe,, along with a classy french accent, cool dress sense (not an actual dress type girl ?) And she seemed genuinely sweet caring type person aswell as being incredibly polite and cute..

    I was sold withing the first minute

    So if the girl was ugly but still have short hair you'd be sold too?
    Not really. I would imagine the majority of men don't care about hair or clothes on women as much as women think they do.

    Depends who the female is.

    Miley Cyrus - yes.

    Mo Mowlam - no.

    I find it extremely attractive to the point where I would prefer a girl with short hair. It's so sexy and seems to show off either some sort of issues (meaning she is kinky) or lots of confidence which is of course attractive in itself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,613 ✭✭✭server down


    In general much less attractive than long hair. Penny from the Big Bang Theory par example.

    I did say she looked very cute.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 429 ✭✭JimmyMcGill


    I love short hair on a woman. Not easy wear it well. Suits slender women as it fits their proportions better imo.

    I do not find it attractive; much prefer women with longer hair


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,807 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    It depends, but it usually looks better longer. Obviously, the better looking the female, the more likely they'll pull it off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,802 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    I think a woman has to be very pretty anyway to get away with it.
    Also she'll have to be quite slight/petite


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,880 ✭✭✭DeanAustin


    Not at all. The woman has to be very good looking (Sinead O’Connor, Demi Moore) to pull it off.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,960 ✭✭✭Dr Crayfish

    It's been the opposite for me all my life tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,870 ✭✭✭✭Dtp1979


    No no no no no

    I disagree

    Women with short hair need good bone structure as opposed to good looks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭denismc


    Some women look stunning with short hair, like Michelle Williams, then again you could put a mop on her head and she would still look great.

    What about Emma Willis?

    Michelle Williams isn't attractive at all to me, I like her as an actress though

    I have very short hair like that and a very thin face
    Long hair makes my face look even thinner and narrower


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 429 ✭✭JimmyMcGill


    I think that lady's face is too round to have short hair. That or her bone structure is too neutral.

    Just does nothing for me at all. Her coloured hair long and on the shoulder, far better looking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,953 ✭✭✭aujopimur


    Smooth both ends for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,254 ✭✭✭Esse85


    When your used to seeing a girl with long hair and then she chops most of it off and now has it short, I find she's not as attractive, someone quoted Penny from BBT as a great example.

    Can somebody please show penny with long and short hair so we can put an end to this madness

    It doesn't really matter though does it? Everyone still wants to bang Penny whether she's got short hair or not.

    Pixie Cut... high risk strategy but when it works... I've seen this actress (Ezri Dax from Star Trek) with long hair, and she's made the right choice:

    Absolutely not


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 789 ✭✭✭Beanntraigheach


    I've never seen a woman with short hair who, in my opinion, wouldn't look better with long(er) hair.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    Love a longish pixie cut. The most beautiful woman I personally know has a pixie cut.


    Saying that, a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, long hair or short.

    The pixie cut works but only with pixie type features.

    Short hair works well on some women who have the right shaped face to carry it off well.

    But would we be having this discussion about men with long hair?

    I’m sure we could. Most men don’t carry off long hair very well, certainly not after the first flush of youth, but some do. They kind of guys who can look good in fantasy. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Viggo mortensen for instance.

    Why, do you have an opinion on the subject or are you trying to make a point?

    Are you implying people do not discuss mens hair like they do women's? Ive heard lots of women discuss and comment on long hair on men


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,028 ✭✭✭✭ButtersSuki


    Never found her attractive with long hair but Katy Perry with short hair in the video for “Swish Swish” does things to me. Can’t post a pic as I’m on the phone but have a look if you haven’t seen it.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 13,101 Mod ✭✭✭✭JupiterKid


    Well, it seems that we are very culturally conditioned to prefer long hair on women and short hair on men. Some men look good with long hair and some women look good with their hair short.

    It’s a matter of taste I suppose...

    Some women look great with short hair. They are the exception to the rule. Most just end up looking like some sort of effeminate fat young man.

    Add heavy lipstick, oversized glasses, a checked shirt and some hideous jeans and converse to complete the look if your intent is to signal that you’re not interested in attracting a male partner. Throw in a where’s wally beanie for that belt and braces degree of certainty. Blue dye is the next level FO measure, it would appear.

    There are few exceptions to this IMHO, mainly for unusually attractive women on one hand or older women on the other.

    Honest answer but I imagine a few people are having trouble with twitch-eye reading that!

    Nothing to do with "cultural conditioning". Nobody conditioned me ( and most men) to prefer long hair, there are plenty of famous women actors with both. Theres no campaign here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,825 ✭✭✭LirW


    Since I live here I've seen very little women with short hair. Especially young teenage girls seem to have insanely long hair that in a lot of cases do not look very well looked after.
    I love having short hair though, I have a lot of hair on my head and if I'd let them grow they would be really heavy and are a nightmare to take care of. I cut my hair from waist-long to Pixie and I never regretted it and the longest I'd let it go is to the bottom of my neck, but I'm thinking of going for a short hair-cut again, like Kristen Stewart-short.

    I know my man loves me having my hair on the shorter side and would fully support me getting a pixie-cut again.

    I also find it incredibly attractive on women, because a lot of women that have short hair look so much cleaner and fresher and don't hide behind a default mob when they don't do what to do with their hair.

    Since Monroe didn't have short hair. We won't be commenting on her.

    if the woman is under 35 its not going to make her look more attractive. Scarlett Johansson became forgettable after she chopped her hair.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Scarlett Johansson is an odd case, it made her look 10 years older because she didn't get the haircut suiting her face really.

    Any cultural conditioning going on at the moment is to get men to find fat old lesbians attractive.
