I've had a similar thought often, including today. My hair is very long now but I always have to keep it tied up or in a bun or I can't do my work. My hair grows too fast for short styles (I hate going to the hair salon), so I just let my hair grow. I let it down for special occasions but those are super rare for me (also for dance).

Every time I hear a man tell me he likes my hair long because women look better with long hair, I just want to slap them (well, punch them so they fly right across the room, but I have to tone down the violence). I don't grow my hair long for men, sheesh.

I’ve wondered the same thing about a lot of women. Having had short hair my whole life, I just can’t relate I guess.

I had long hair for a few years and usually kept it tied in a ponytail. It just kept my hair out of my way when doing things.

I eventually cut it because it was too much trouble to take cre of.

Honestly I grew it long hoping for an artistic look, but itt made me look more like a pot head than it made me look artistic.

And.....what comes next! Did he look better or worse?
