The style may also be a recognition fashion for them.<br /><br />2.) Maybe because they understand fashion or care about it a bit more than straight men, perhaps gay men understand that short hair detracts from male pattern baldness. Yes, detracts.<br /><br />As a straight woman who appreciates good-looking straight men, I wish they'd learn that growing their hair longer is a sure way to draw attention to their receding hairlines and, in fact, to all the typical patterns of male balding. It's hard to convince them of that, though.<br /><br />In addition, fairly short hair makes every man over 30/40 look younger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-56252069838423846772013-05-13T19:02:36.963-04:002013-05-13T19:02:36.963-04:00Yeah, I guess you guys are right.

You've got Romans with their short hair, Gauls with their long hair, Samurai with tonsures and Sikhs with turbans, Cossacks had their shaved heads (with a short strand), Native American mohawks. Pretty diverse. Some of these groups may not have seen short hair as masculine, rather than a sign of being strong or disciplined, but it overlaps.<br /><br />Women's romance novel covers tend to have a mix of fairly short and long hair but with no shaved heads though http://tinyurl.com/d8f4pbj. The hairstyles are longer than what you would get from randomly sampling real men or real dating websites, but the fabio thing recurs as it is oft parodied (prolly cos it's further removed from the preferences of ladies who don't generally read romance novels). Women have diverse preferences. It's hard for me to believe that long hair is preferred on average by women tho, unless men are totally clueless about trying to increase their attractiveness (they should respond to an incentive).<br /><br />The gay hair preference is interesting to me because it is the inverse of straight men's overwhelming preference for long hair, while lesbos seem to have diverse preferences like straight women.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-38664679578412318952013-05-13T11:00:23.379-04:002013-05-13T11:00:23.379-04:00Curtis,

We've been living with the short hair=masculinity view since Napoleon.

Nobody else does, which is why, as the article points out, ancient male warriors wore their hair long, as do heavy metal rockers and bikers, and why the heros of women's romance novels have long hair(such as Fabio).<br /><br />So there are two possibilities. The first is that the gay men lack self-awareness, adn really do like short hair because it mimics little boys. The second is that they can't reason correctly, and have mistakenly believed that short hair = masculine, when few other people do.<br /><br />-CurtisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
