"At least in our study, gentlemen do not prefer blondes. They prefer brunettes,"

I prefer redheads :)

My wife is a brunette, and I very much prefer her.

QUICKLY NOW,, ANN COULTER PHOTO OPP!

[Senator Pardek]

Head hair, I'm assuming.

LOL. When we were in Europe we noticed the prediliction many of the women there had for hairy armpits and legs.

Used to think this model was drop-dead gorgeous until she opened her potty mouth. What a pig.

Laurie hasn't let me down, though! HUBBA HUBBA

Prefer them for what?

[demlosers]

Now, the overwhelming majority of Euro women have found the use of a razor.

According to Kline, both men and women "overwhelmingly find the long hair length significantly more attractive than the short and the medium hair length."

Duuuuuh. Someone should tell US and Peephole Magazines, the Enquirer, Star, Cosmo, E! Network and Oprah. How does something that every guy knows somehow escape the keepers of our kulture? Maybe someday they'll also figure out that Madonna is old!

[mewzilla]

Really? Now if we can just get them to work on that personal space thing ;)

[Age of Reason]

Hair is going to be a signal of that, because a younger woman will usually have longer, thicker hair

Certainly long, thick hair is usually one of many signs of youth and health in a woman.

But there's one more thing when regarding LONG thick hair on a woman: Long hair is high-maintenance.

A woman who wears her hair long signals that she is more traditional than a SINGLE woman who crops her hair short to have time for her career.

This applies even to women whose facial characteristics benefit from short hair, as they need not always to cut their hair short to complement their features--growing their hair long, then wearing it up usually does as much for beauty.

Bump .... women always look better with long hair.

I'm with you.
I prefer what ever color my wife's hair is ---Today!!

Please clarify your meaning.

As one who was pursuaded to cut her locks a little shorter (currently working on growing it back), I can attest that short hair is way too much work. It actually has to be styled every day.

Long hair - brush it and put it up and it lasts all day.

Jennifer Connelly: The only woman I would buy a house for.

[A_perfect_lady]

Oh, and sorry, Madonna: men also seem to prefer brunettes

Oh for pete's sake, is there anyone in the world who thinks Madonna's really blonde??

[JoeSixPack1]

can't get enough!!!

AHhhhhhhhhh <|:-)~~

[HusbandMan]

It took me a while to get there, but I am much more attracted to women who have an inner beauty, a gentle and quiet nature, as the bible puts it. But in the day, I preferred them to be female. Hair, eyes, shape, etc. didn't matter all that much to me as I find all kinds of women physically attractive.

Fabio-like locks might signal to women that a man is somehow less virile or capable than his buzz-cut brethren, Kline theorized.

Fabio...pfffft! I'll take Mel Gibson any day!!
