Why are so many women not clued in on this? All men adore long hair. Don’t cut it. Ever. I know: It’s hard to take care of. And the hair gets into everything. And it gets in your face. And wind is not your friend. I know it all - I have long hair too. (Which, btw, is what makes _me_ sexy. And why it’s worth all of the trouble.) ---

On some women, long hair looks fantastic. On some women, short hair rules. And, in my personal experience, women I’ve dated for a while who either cut their long hair, or grew their hair out, looked sexy either way, just in different ways. In any event, running my hand across the lay of a gf’s short hair and watching her shiver is a fantastic turn-on. Sua ---

What, you mean you can’t tell just by looking at me? I’m hurt. In all honesty, I can’t answer this for myself. I really don’t think of myself as being that way. When I’ve been told I was sexy, I knew it was because of how I was treating her, no matter who her was. As far as I know, that’s all I’ve got going for me, knowing how to treat a woman special. ---

This is going to sound bad, but I really do think I can be quite sexy. I’ve got good curves in the right places, I’m funny (apparently) and I’m intelligent. That, and I’m filthy in bed 😉 Fran ---

It’s obviously my wit, intelligence, humor – and distance. ‘Cuz in person I put out a anti-sexiness pheromone so strong that a research team Columbia Presbyterian are the only people who want my body. I think I’m gonna hit some golf balls now so I feel better – wait, I suck at that, too. Anyone need a junk bond analyzed? ---

> [@](#): > > **On some women, long hair looks fantastic. On some women, short hair rules.** I agree that there are women that look sexy in short hair. But short hair does not flatter most women as much as long hair does. And every woman is more attractive with **very** long hair. > [@](#): > > **running my hand across the lay of a gf’s short hair and watching her shiver is a fantastic turn-on** Oh, I’m with ya there, **Sua** , but the short hair I’m thinking about _ain’t_\* on my girlfriend’s _head_.

I couldn’t think of anything, so I asked **racinchikki** : _Copied and pasted directly from AIM.

First of all, I have to support Sua on the long versus short hair thing. Many men, like me, even prefer shorter hair. And your loved one can look great in both (mine does). Back to the quesiton, what makes \* me \* sexy? Before I met Mrs Phoenix, I had no clue, but she really goes for my blue eyes… ---

Well, according to many women who have gone on to say “but I really don’t like you like that…” [ul] [li] My light blue eyes[/li][li] My spikey hair and sideburns[/li][li] The fact that I love little kids and apparently look really cute playing with a toddler[/li][li] My Canadian accent (“PLEASE say ‘I’m going out of the house’ again!”[/li][/ul] Now ask me what makes me unattractive. 😃 ---
