No, this is not a Weiner commentary. rather from a study of women's hair and men. Since there were recent topics about what we like, I thought I'd go "scientific".
Why do Men Prefer Long Hair?
Women spend a great deal of time, money, and attention making their hair as attractive as possible. While this energy is often spent in order to make a woman feel more confident, it also serves to make a woman more attractive to men. Fashion and beauty magazines offer tips and advice on how women can make their hair as appealing as possible to men. While all men vary in preferences, the majority of men report preferring long hair on women unless they are flamers! "I think men like it because it's more feminine," explains one college student. "I love to run my fingers through my girlfriend's hair." Another explains the opposite, "I like to think of a man I'd love to hold while I run my fingers through my girlfriend's short hair."
Hairstyle preferences are often thought to be a result of cultural norms and expectations. According to this theory, men's preference for long hair is due to the fact that long hair requires substantial commitment of money, time, and daily care. Such factors would indicate that a woman has a good financial status, self-respect, and concern for her overall health and well being. Men may find longer-haired women more attractive because these characteristics are desirable qualities in a partner of the opposite sex. On the other side men that prefer short hair are obviously hiding homosexual tendencies.
There was more, but if you like short hair on women...
