Who knows.
I have had people totally shut me out just because my hair is long.
Jealous I guess.
?

It isn't, although it obviously was for him

Not got a clue really. Maybe he had a hair fettish?

Because everyone had their own vision of how they Wan their mate to be. It doesn't mean that all of us are so inflexible on something like hair though. However everyone had the right to be picky if they so choose. Seems it would make life difficult for no reason.

I got rejected because of height. I'm 5' 10" so I'm not exactly short, probably average. But a lot (not all) of the women wanted guys that were well over 6' so they could wear their 5 inch heels and still be shorter than their man!!! In my estimation, that's a very shallow woman no matter how tall she may be in heels. It's a good way to dodge a bullet when they give you all you need to know

I've been ghosted for saying I prefer coffee to weed.

People are weird and fickle

It may not of had nothing to do with that at all. I think a lot of the times people disappear on dating sites is with so many choices they simply move on to another profile that’s more interesting.

Same as a beard on a man

I was once berated for shaving. Apparently, appearances are more important than personality to some.

I can only speak for myself, it's never been an issue. And i can't think why it would?

I got one asking if I had freckles. Total message: hi do you have freckles(sic). I didn’t even answer, though I want to be sarcastic at them. I don’t give in to the temptation, because I’m not giving them ANY attention.

I appologize for the behavior as a man. i usually say thanks but no, just to be polite. and each of us has a type, but just in exchanging emails, it really shouldn't have mattered. long hair short hair, its about the person. i actually preferred my first wife with short hair. she had a sexy neck and earlobes, but its her hair. she gets to wear it no matter what i think, and that is perfectly ok with me. its the person under the hair that matters. one old man's opinion lol

I'd say you are fortunate in not pursuing that fellow.

When I was new to the game, a partner told me I should grow my bob cut out again because "Guys prefer long hair on their women." To which I explained that no one would ever own me. I never really understood how something as simple as a haircut could make someone write you off completely. Glad I experienced that lesson early on!

Some men are really hung up about hair length on women. Avoid those men.

I'm just thinking about Princess Diana. She had a horrible hairstyle in the 80s but one day she had it cut short and it transformed her. Some women suit short hair.

Have it how you want it. If it's a deal breaker for some men, then do you really want to date those men?

Summit to hold on to

It is a preference in the same way that perhaps blue eyes v brown, slim v not so slim, tall v short or intelligent being v an idiot-in-charge supporter, could be deal breaker's for someone! Everyone has an idea of what is attractive to them. Although, having said that, I think we have been brainwashed into thinking that a woman's worth is determined by her hair length (I have nothing against long hair by the way.) As a woman who has had short, grey/white hair for the last 6 years this has been my observation; I have had 3, yes 3, positive comments in 6 years from older white dudes, (what's up with that older white dudes?) young people across all cultures and races love it, but I get the most comments (complimentary) from African American men and older white women (who have told me that they wish they were brave enough to wear their hair the same way.)

Good question. If I were on the dating scene, I would be looking much more for communications that show intelligence, warmth, humor, and common values.

for me....it's not about the length of the hair, but who it's attached to.

Be thankful for the lucky escape

I doubt it is a deal breaker for most men but older generations were programmed to believe women should have long hair. I bet long hair on a man would be a deal breaker for some women too.

Not sure what it is with older men and long hair, but when I asked my former significant other to name something he actually liked about me, my hair was the answer, though he would prefer my hair to be blonder. Everyone has their image they are seeking, I guess. I had hoped he liked something of my personality.

Years ago I was on a dating site and an interested male's first question was "how much do you weigh?" I was fairly fit and weight proportionate, and tried to show that in my photos, but that question turned me off. Wow - hair length and body weight can change, but a shallow personality not so much!

while it would make me feel weird I think it would be a favor. If thats all it take to run he probably would have never come near me.

He was most likely a controlling ass. I had a guy try to get me to cut my hair short before I even met him. I was like no, I don’t grow OR cut my hair for anyone but me.

It sounds to me like you may have dodged a bullet.
