Listen Up, Ladies: Long, Lush Locks Lure Lovers

[Age of Reason]

I never understood the attraction for predatory-looking women with strong angular features.

But hey, all right by me--less competition for the ones I find beautiful.

And I never liked a tan on a woman (was that a tan?).

Tanning is for men.

I suddenly realized I formed that opinion by observing how much more women bothered about their long hair compared to how little I bothered about my short hair (I'm a guy).

Long hair can just be brushed and put up and it looks just fine. There's all sorts of toys to play with. Sticks, barettes, etc. Recently, I''ve taken to scrungie buns. 2-seconds and it's done. It is not washed every day or it just dries out completely towards the ends - which why we use the boar bristle brushes, to move the oil to the ends. Just get up early and wash it and let it air dry. If you put it up a little damp, it has all sorts of body when it comes down.

When hair is shorter, daily it has to be styled and curled and to make it look halfway feminine takes tons of time. No thanks.

Age of Reason = Age of Botticelli (Birth of Venus Look)

I like all chicks...I preferred blondes as a boy but grew to prefer brunettes and milky brown eyes as I grew older.

I have no clue as to why...maybe the contrast??

Tans are simply a variety from winter and I live South so women without tans are sort of rare.

My wife goes several shades variation annually.

I chose Brook because I admire 30 something year old babes that have had multiple children and still look good (like my wife) as opposed to young bunnies.

I have learned that women do indeed not reach optimal beauty till 30 or more...everything else is just a warm up.

JMHO

BREAKING MY HEART!

SORRY! She may already BE married!

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Wow, like this is breaking news? Next thing you know, they'll spend $5 million for a study to learn we prefer them in sexy lingerie as well.

Then again, this may indeed be "breaking news" to the large number of young women who wear short hair and rarely wear lingerie.

Ladies, we REALLY like these things. I kid you not.

lol

[Lancey Howard]

What? Sinead O'Connor isn't sexy?

[demlosers]

She looks like a [bull dyke!] man.

Well, you found an old thread...

[Tall_Texan]

I definitely agree. Long straight hair is highly attractive to me but you'll have a difficult time finding women who wear it very long because of the care they must give it. In situations where it was appropriate, I always let women with long hair know how attractive it looked.

Unfortunateky, when they get to around 50 years old, women with long hair just look odd - mostly the type who think they're still in the 1960s.
