Just a poll that I want to take.
If you wear a short hair style now (or at some time) and have also worn it long...Do you find that you get as much attention when out at clubs?
I myself have found that I get a lot more attention when my hair is long. I would love to hear different. Maybe that someone gets more attention with a cute short cut?

I think it has more to do with your level of confidence... Back in the day, I had less confidence with a short cut. Now that it's long, I do get more attention-- even with an updo.. I've pinned it down to my confidence level.
Let's hear from others...

I'm African-American, and I got more positive attention from men when I went to a short afro than with long hair.
When I shaved my head and went with the bald look is when I got , by far, the most positive attention from men (Black and White men), especially when I was dressed up nice in sexy clothes, makeup, and earrings.
Maybe I got the attention I did because very short hair or a shaved head is still somewhat unusual on women (although more common than before), and some men find that attractive on a lady.
Different types of ordinary short hairstyles on women are common of course.
Sometimes I get more attention than I want when wearing the bald look, especially since I already have a man and am not interested in getting hit on by guys.
That's why when I am shaving my head , like I have been this summer, I usually wear a wig or headscarf in public and at work.
It's fine for me to go bald around the house, my kids and friends are used to it, and my man likes it and is used to it, but in public I draw less attention by wearing a wig or a headscarf.

I wish I could answer this, but I'm the shy type who doesn't go to clubs or try to pick up/be picked up by women or anything. *hides off in the corner*

More awesome than a manatee!

I have never had any problems meeting people because I have short hair. Just the opposite. I get approached quite often and told how much they love my hsort hairstyle.
