Ok guys, we all know our preference re: our own hair, but what about the hair of the opposite sex (Elizabeth and others who happen to read this, need not reply, I don't think!)?
Personally I like women with either really short hair or really long (is that indicative of my persoanlity?!), leaning towards a preference for the longer type.
Why just the other day I was having a conversation with a girl who had the most magnificent mane down to her waist, and when she showed it off to me and let me stroke it (after I told her what I thought), I was amazed by the softness and quality of it!
My hair was never in such good condition! (Dean pouts...)
But in the end isn't that why they call them the 'fairer sex'.
Ok, so what do you guys think/prefer?
I definitely prefer long haired women- the longer the better.
If I met a pair of good-looking identical twin young women, one of whom had long hair and the other short, I'd find the longer haired one more attractive in physical terms. Curiously this would apply even if her long hair was 'up' so as to look short.
Long hair on women is a plus point, but that doesn't mean that I don't find some women with short hair attractive.
Cheers, Barry
I love long hair on women. I tend to not like many short styles, unless the girl has her own "unique" overall style (punk, true goth, etc).
I definitely prefer long hair on girls, shoulderlenght or longer.
On the other hand, I can also think that a short haircut can look very good, as long as it isn't *too* short.
I tend to prefer women with either very long hair or short hair. Mostly it has to suit her face and style.
It is an interesting question Dean, and I am sure the replies of women here, along with men admiring the same sex are worth reading too. My own contribution to the discussion shall be the observation that long haired men are just as varied a group as any other people. Their hair preferences will naturally have the full range of diversity in what attracts them.
One thing to keep in mind if relationship preferences are being discussed is that hair attitudes may be more important than the present appearance. My guy believes wearing long hair is a fundamental element of his identity. Meanwhile, I have long hair but am not attached to it in the same way. He understands this and knows my hair is not guaranteed to be long in perpetuity. Ideally he would have a mate with the same need for long hair to match his but it is not required. I am far more valuable than my hair. So is he.
Another thought is not to let preferences get in the way of love. Sometimes the person with nothing from a preferred attributes list can be still be a perfect match.

I like long hair on women too. Everyone to me looks better with long hair - provided it's appropriately cared for. Whether a man or a woman, long hair will always hold something special for me.
I prefer long hair on women, but I try not to be too suferficial (read: "picky") when it comes to appearance. No seriously its not that bigger deal, long hair is something I do, not something I demand of others. Plus I'm not bombared with offers (can't imagine why..) so I don't let the little things like hair length stand in the way of a potencial relationship.
(OK, OK, who am I kidding? - I live on a rock in North Atlantic, holiday Romances are not my thing, I'm getting desperate... (Note to self: move out of Tourist Areas & try to meet a nice Canarian Girl.)
As I said my preference is for longer hair. Fortuneatly the style at the moment seems to be for women to wear their hair to "bikini strap" length, so I'm rather spoilt these days.

I definately have a preference toward long hair, although it, along with most other physical elements, is secondary. I have seen some truly beautiful women with shorter hair that I don't think I would change. Like many things, ideal hair length varies from person to person.
I like long hair, although it's not critical to whether I like a particular person. I'm also not into changing people. I beleive we should all be ourselves. Luckily, my wife shows no inclination to cut her hair.
