For you with baby fine hair try Folic acid 800mg daily-- I told my best friend and she had amazing results. Also you can take Hair, Skin and Nails vitimins that you can get at Wal mart for about $7.00 My hair is very long waist length and I love it! I have had many men tell me not to cut it, they love it!I do not have a boy friend but even if i did, i think i would keep it to please him just as well as myself. It is not that hard to take care of, I think it is a lot more work with short hair than long. To you men who love long hair i say to just be honest but gentleand tell your woman what you like other wise it is loss of communication which is bad, Good Luck![/quote]

I have tried all the Folic acids and vitamins in the world for the last 30 years but have given up. I have fine hair and unfortunately just look ridiculous with long hair. I realise most men like long hair and I have been dumped due to my short hair - one even said he didn't like there was nothing to hold on to during s.e.x. Another one after a 2 year relationship said he preferred women with long dark hair (I'm natural blonde). It's not by choice I have short hair, it's unfortunately how it is.

Also, someone said that as women grow older, they feel they must keep their hair short--it's expected after 50. I abhore that idea--it seems like most women after 50, feel they must wear what I call the "little old lady helmet" of short, curly,grey, white,or blue, hair.They all look alike. It's almost a uniform,that screams,"I'm an old lady now, and must look the part." As a man, I hate that.

Many women over 50 or 60 could look so much younger and more attractive if they just didn't conform to that myth that they must have that regulation short, tight curls hair style. Comments???

YES, I totally agree with you. I just turned 50. I've been under that subtle pressure from other women for at least 10 years now. That "regulation older woman" haircut isn't necessarily curly, but it's always short. It's definitely not me. It would look terrible on me.

I think that sometimes when women are pressuring other women to cut their hair off, they are subconsciously trying to take down the competition. Another reason I think that many women say these things to other women, is because they think that older women aren't supposed to be sexy, or really feminine. The widely-accepted look for over-50 women is practically gender-neutral. The "sensible" shoes, unfashionable clothes, that whole look.

It takes a confident woman to rock her own look and buck the system. If you look at the women of Hollywood, almost all of the mature-yet-still-sexy women are rocking longer hair, stylish clothes, heels, and look very put-together. Us over 40's and over 50's chicks can rock this look too, if we really want to!

About long hair at any age: If it's healthy, shiny, and styled nicely, enjoy your length.

Hmmmm...interesting topic.

I think you should tell her but in a very kind way. Let her know you are attracted to her but are REALLY attracted to her with longer hair.

There's nothing to be ashamed about. I don't understand women who don't want to look as good as possible for their men. I guess I was that way when I was younger, I am 42 now and would make a different choice if it turned my bf on more. It's a sign of love to enhance this part of your relationship.

I just finished reading thru all 18 pages, realized it started over a year ago, and was surprised to find my own post along the way. In case anyone is still reading this thread, I’d just add one parting thought.

I think this thread has demonstrated that while most women seem to understand that most men (in general) prefer longer hair, my experience is that they’ll ignore their men and go with what their girlfriends tell them looks best. Women regard their hair to be far too important to trust to the opinion of a guy who simply knows what he likes when he sees it, but perhaps doesn’t know why. (Think boobs.) Men can be passionate about long hair, but we need to learn to give it up.

Men are often allowed a vote, but our vote doesn’t count. Women will go with their girlfriends’ advice, which will generally be for short, modern styles of today. And reluctantly, I have to admit that some of today's short styles do look REALLY great.
