How the heck did that happen? I`ve logged in and gotten LadyKera`s name at the bottom of my post!

Sorry LadyKera...!

Oh, and to answer your question...a recent poll at some snotty school suggested that people saw women with straight, long, blonde hair as the most attractive and successful (I`m guessing because of the amount of money it would take to have hair like this for most people!)

Anyhoo, I also don`t think it`s unprofessional either.

Whoa! Time out!

I`ve sort of been in your boat. I haven`t had tons of luck with dating either...but I think it is terrible to think that you are not good looking enough to date.

Camryn Mannheim is heavy, and has terrific long hair... Liz Taylor`s short hair is great...but you need to be happy with the way you look and hair is one of the easier ways of doing something about the way look in order to make yourself feel better (um and one of the cheaper ways too, I might add)

I`ve been a short fat woman (think hobbit with non-hairy feet) with both long and short hair. Bottom line? Depends on whether or not you think of your hair as part of who you are. If you feel that you should change your hair because it would make you feel more confident...then go for it. If you are happy with it and it makes you feel attractive...well, if it ain`t broke, don`t fix it.

But whatever you do, do it because you want to and not because your friends think you should.

Never. Ever. Cut your hair because you think it`s what other people would want! If you know you would cry, then there`s you answer... don`t do it. Not having dates has nothing to do with your hair. Maybe if you feel you have to do something different, try a few light, wispy layers. Ask a stylist what would look best, but dont give in if they tell you to chop it off.

I`m a 23 year old female, and I have had long hair since I started growing it out when my grandmother chopped it off in fourth grade. It`s about waist length, and I have it trimmed every few months for split ends.

I like my hair this length, I always thought long hair was beautiful. But everyone I know tells me I should cut it. I`m the only woman my age I know of from any of my high school, college, or grad school acquaintences who doesn`t at least have a boyfriend, if not engaged/married. I`ve lost a lot of weight but am still not attractive enough for anyone to go out with me. Will cutting my hair help? All of my friends tell me I should. I thought people liked long hair, but is it considered passé? Unprofessional? Just plain ugly?

I know if I do cut it I will cry for at least a week, but maybe it`s worth it if it will make me more attractive.
