  I'm curious to know what some of the people here, when mentioning stereotypical attractiveness, actually mean by that?

  Stereotypical attractiveness can mean more than one thing of course and is not just one feature of the body (stereotypes inc. V shaped trunk&chest, muscular, feminine facial bone structure.)

  From most of the long haired men I've known - they've been fairly heavily built and/or muscular. The only skinny ones have very angular faces which could not possibly be confused as female - but the larger men have much softer facial features.

  Neither sets of these men follow the current trend that women find attractive - apart from the strange fact that barely any of them wear glasses. (Src - documentary on female attraction to facial&bodily bone structure - src (glasses) my own experience.)

  I do not consider myself attractive by the modern British trend but I do seem to attract mainly long haired males. In turn I am usually attracted to long haired males. I don’t find myself attracted to ANY males of the (British) stereotypical aesthetic features considered alluring or sexy.

  So to the questions....
  Are long haired males usually attracted to women who also do not fit the current trend of attractiveness and visa versa?
  And/or – is it more likely the women are attracted to other stereotypical male attributes?
  Is it more likely that long haired males fit into ‘subcultures’ in temperament and interests that makes the long hair a beacon to women who may have the same interests?

  Thanks.

    Don't know about that...I see many longhairs with specs.

    I can only speak for myself but I am NOT AT ALL attracted to the stereotypical "atractive" female (eg supermodels, hollywood actresses etc) In fact, its a turn-off as far as I'm concerned. Too much plastic, too much silicon and too much paint, lol!!

    Intersting point...to venture a guess, I'd say 'Yep!'
