    Just curious about male (or female if you like!) opinions on it.

    Do you find it off putting or less attractive than long hair?

    What part of the body are you referring to?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,958 ✭✭✭Mr_Spaceman


    Not fussed either way. Depends on the girl really.

    Short, well-styled hair on a girl can look very chic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,147 ✭✭✭PizzamanIRL


    Can suit some women but my first thought when I see it is 'lesbian'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,941 ✭✭✭✭Supercell


    Takes a very pretty lady to carry off a butch short haircut. I've seen mingers with long hair that didn't look to bad if you looked at them the right way.

    How short do you mean? In general though it tends not to look great IMO but some woman can really pull it off, but it seems to be one of those things that woman will think look better than men do.
    That said Skin from skunk anansie looks damn good!

    Like a lot of things in life, on the right girl can look incredibly sexy, on the wrong girl can look absolutely awful.

    Also depends on the cut itself. Again, can go either way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,241 ✭✭✭Lurching


    Skin head - Horrible.

    Slightly longer - Can look very nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,499 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    Depends on the broad, it suits some girls very well.

    9 times out of 10 it's very butch and not feminine at all so that's obviously unattractive to men, but that 1 time the girl can somehow pull it off and still look really feminine and attractive but even still, chances are that girl would be even hotter with long hair. Obviously it's down to the individual suiting the style or not and then also down to the individual man to find the girl still attractive or not. Ballsy move to cut your hair like that to be honest, most men like really long, wavy hair on women

    As long as you don't do that half shaved head atrocity trying to look like skrillex sh!t, no man wants to touch a shaved head on a girl

    Strange you should say this just now...I was just thinking about my hair.. my hair grows very VERY fast. And is long right now ..I was thinking should I maybe cut it for the change ...

    I have had every cut ..short like a boys shoulder length and all down my back....it grows so fast ..

    I noticed my ears got cold with a short pixie cut.

    Some girls can pull it off and be sexy.
    Some can't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,788 ✭✭✭MyPeopleDrankTheSoup


    some girls can pull it off 'cos they're hot anyway. they'll always be hotter with longer hair. case in point, frankie sandford

    It looked well on me but well you can't do so much with short hair ..long hair has more styles. And it's warmer.

    There was a time when it meant a lot more to me actually to have very long hair. It was so long I could sit on it. It was really an emotional thing. If you have never been a LH you don't know. There is actually a long hair community .... with terms like 'are you a tailbone a classic or knee length?' Classic length is just when you can sit on it. I had it that long for a time. It was sort of a badge of 'me' hippish and i dunno ...i dated a lot of longhaired guys. I have gone out with short haired guys and long haired guys. I don't think it means anything.


    The song hair.

    She asks me why
    I'm just a hairy guy
    I'm hairy noon and night
    Hair that's a fright
    I'm hairy high and low
    Don't ask me why
    Don't know
    It's not for lack of bread
    Like the Grateful Dead
    Darling

    Gimme head with hair
    Long beautiful hair
    Shining, gleaming,
    Streaming, flaxen, waxen

    Give me down to there hair
    Shoulder length or longer
    Here baby, there mama
    Everywhere daddy daddy

    Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
    Flow it, show it
    Long as God can grow it
    My hair

    Let it fly in the breeze
    And get caught in the trees
    Give a home to the fleas in my hair
    A home for fleas
    A hive for bees
    A nest for birds
    There ain't no words
    For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
    Of my...

    Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
    Flow it, show it
    Long as God can grow it
    My hair

    I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
    Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
    Oily, greasy, fleecy
    Shining, gleaming, streaming
    Flaxen, waxen
    Knotted, polka-dotted
    Twisted, beaded, braided
    Powdered, flowered, and confettied
    Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!

    Oh say can you see
    My eyes if you can
    Then my hair's too short

    Down to here
    Down to there
    Down to where
    It stops by itself

    They'll be ga ga at the go go
    When they see me in my toga
    My toga made of blond
    Brilliantined
    Biblical hair

    Lol


    Having short hair was fun too though...I felt Like a pixie. :-)

    I have dated long haired guys and short haired guys why limit the question to being about women? Some girls have a preference for long hair or short on guys.

    Depends on the woman, Charlize Theron looks great with short hair.

    I prefer women with long hair though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81 ✭✭Clankatron


    You need to have an exceptionally pretty face to pull it off imo.

    Short hair can suit some women, look at frankie bridge for the Saturday's. Looks cracking with short hair.

    But it definitely doesn't suit some women. I mean Mary harney with short hair doesn't do it for me.

    The sort of women that can pull it off are normally stunning looking


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 306 ✭✭NZ_2014


    Long hair always much better IMO, never attracted to short hair.

    However I can hardly say my hair is purfect:p

    Long hair is always my preference. I don't really like short hair. Some girls cut their hair short as they get older because they think it makes them look younger. Which I don't get either. Each to their own I guess.

    Love it, love it, love it.

    There are girls with short hair that I find attractive, but in general I don't like it at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    I like short hair on women, don't get the whole butch thing at all. I think someone who looks butch with short hair will look butch with long hair.

    My OH has had short hair for the best part of the last year (kinda like Pink) and it looked really good, she's in the process of letting it grow now though. :(
