This is a really interesting post. My husband loves long hair, says the same thing you said in your post concerning hair length.

My hairstylist gets so frustrated with me because I won’t get more than a trim each time.

In The Oregonian newspaper several years ago, there was an article in the "Living" section about a straight middle-aged married male hairstylist with three children, who was apparently doing quite well. He would not cut a woman's hair short because it isn't sexy and he thought it was his job to make women look beautiful. I have told a number of my middle-aged single women friends to let their hair grow out. Every one of them who followed my advice thanked me later. Almost all men like long hair on women and find them more attractive. I think long hair also sends a subtle message that a woman really likes men.

Hey Twink!!! God bless you for your understanding andacceptance of your hubby’s love for long hair. What a gal you are! One woman in particular used to be in our group, waiting for our kids after school. So many times I heard her say that “’Eddie’ wants me to stop cutting my hair short, but I don’t care. Well, she dumped “Eddie”, and I hadn’t seen her for nearly three years. But then I didn’t recognize her b/c her hair had grown near her waist. She had grown it out for her new man! Ya wonder!
Anyway, I think that there MAY have been some truth in Dr. Laura’s opinion, BUT Elliot Spitzer is a wretched, self-consumed leftist. Years ago, I heard Laura say that the “proper care and feeding” advice only applied to those women married to that majority of men who are decent guys and love their wives. Elliot is O-U-T on this count.
Rule of thumb for me: IF a woman (or man) would acquiesce to a spouse’s desire while courting, (such as hair length), she should not expect her man’s passions to change AFTER the vows are exchanged. Yes, in the case of hair care, the man should help!!
