Do Women *Ever* Look "Bad" with Long Locks?

I'm with you Bob ... when you find a woman who looks bad with long locks and would look better with it short, let me know.  Maybe it's a guy thing ... I don't know, but I don't see it.  It could be tunnel vision on my part, but when I look at makeovers and they say the woman looks better with her hair short, I struggle to see what they see.  I always think the long-haired version was better (after looking past those often-horrible "before" pictures).  Ladies help us out here.  Can you show us a woman who seriously looks better with short hair?  There's just no sex-appeal there ... sure they may be cute, but that just doesn't do it for me.  I like to see those hair flips, looks from eyes from behind wisps of hair and other things that you only see on a woman with long locks.  Maybe it's the way we're wired, Bob.

the only way I can see long hair looking bad to me, would be if the hair has not been taken care of. I have seen hair in the past that has been relatively long, and looks horrible to me, only because it is damaged, and is screaming for some TLC. I remember one incident about , wow, at least 10 years ago, wear the gal had waist length hair that was a dry, frizzy mess full of damaged, split ends. To me, this looked worse than having it cut in a shorter style. 

     Absolutely, I agree with you, Grace! I think that most women look super with hair pulled staight back. But there are some, including my wife, who are not flattered by this. She looks much better with a middle part. Others look their best with a side part, and some with front fringe. But it's exasperating (lol!) to hear a woman whom you *know* could have lovely long locks, and who really wants them, say that they must "accept reality". In most cases, these ladies simply lacked the patience to get through middling grow-out stages, or allowed negative comments to drive them back to a stylist happy to bring them back to square one. Cordially, Bob

Bob was genetically born with an appreciation ONLY for the longest of long hair.

People are very into the trend and just cut it attitude. Instead of growing it long and finding ways to work with long hair. Long hair is just as attractive it depends on how you care for it and wear it. I dont see it looking ugly though what if man never made scissors then what would we think. Back in the day long was the only way or no way.

Very good point, babycheeks!  My hair is essentially uncut, and it's not so bad.  Combs and current-day haircare products help make it pleasant to have. [that sounded clinical ]

That was quite rude, all around.  As a moderator of this forum, if you wish to participate here, I will simply ask you to be much more thoughtful in your responses.
