I have answered discussions about what is preferred for facial hair, so how about the other side, do you like men with short hair, long hair or bald?
I grew up during the hippie era and most of the guys had long hair back then. I really like long hair on a guy as long as it is well taken care off and looks good. I really adore the Rambo, Barbarino and Krashy look....they all have great looking hair.
What it really boils down too is the man and what he feels best doing. If he is happy with the way he looks then no one has the right to ridicule him.
For you guys reading this discussion maybe you can give an opinion about how you like to see a woman wear her hair.

I'm going to agree that it depends on the person. My ex-hubby went mostly bald by 19 so he shaves what little he has left. It works for him. My current s/o was an 80's teenager and keeps it longer, not like the mullet or feathered style or anything but he likes it to go to or past his collar. His looks better longer. He's gotten haircuts before where the stylist cut it into the "normal" guy cut short and it looked awful on him. My oldest son looks great with it really short, my 4 year old likes it longer (but grandpa keeps cutting it against our wishes...grrr), the 2 year old has adorable curls but we keep his short otherwise he looks like a girl, and the baby is bald right now but has his dad's face shape so he'll probably look good with longer hair too.
I just cut my hair short. It had been past my shoulders but now the longest part is the front layer and my bangs that come done just to my nose. I think it looks better like this. I love long hair but it makes my face look too long and thin.

As a guy talking here ;).
Well, first of all I don't want to be excluded from the guy part as well! :P Anyways, myself I prefer it somewhat longer in length. Although I wouldn't call it long myself it currently kinda is like the length on my avvie has coming to the height of the shoulders in the back.
When I take it longer it becomes too messy, as I got quite thick but also "fattish" after a day it would look like I haven't washed it for a month or 2.
But overall the length of hair sort of depends on the face I'd say on what looks good and what does not, for some long hair can look great but others it just looks quite horrible. Especially if they are rather slim and then have thin black hair along, I don't know if you've seen the horror movie "The Grudge" but the 'mom' demon thing there is what that always reminds me off, hehe.
For women pretty much the same counts I'd say. There is nothing really extreme enough for me, as long as it fits her. Because I look a lot more at women it also jumps out easier for me I guess, but one coupe definitely doesn't fit everybody. You can have 2 with pretty much the same hairstyle but it can definitely look horrible on one whilst for the other it looks absolutely awesome.
In example britney spears bald, we have all seen how horrible that looked right? ;). Whilst on some women that fits quite well, as uncommon a woman being bald might sound.

Your choice of length is good, especially if it works best for you at that length. Keeping it neat when it is longer is important. In the area where I live we have a lot of over fifty hippie throw backs, these guys have pony tails longer than me, lol and mine is not short by any means...lol.

I like men with shorter hair. I do not like long hair at all..it is definitely a turn off to me. No offense to the guys with long hair, but I have never found one attractive. My mom on the other hand, prefers guys with long hair, even though my dads hair is super short lol. I don't mind if their hair is bushy lol..just not long. I also am not attracted to bald guys. I like them to have some hair!

I am not overly fond of bald either, but some guys do look good bald. The fad around here is the guys shave their heads for the summer and let it grow for the winter. They will be in for a surprise when they run out of fertilizer for regrowth...lol.

Short hair. Well your right, there are those guys who takes good care of their hair, they even look better than mine and i feel insecure. lol. I prefer the short hair guys, it looks clean, neat and soft to touch.

I think it depends on the guy. Some guys look better with short hair, others look better with long hair and others look good bald. I prefer a good looking guy no matter what the length of his hair is! LOL

I like long and short. Bald I like as well if the man has a nicely shaped head and doesn't have a long thin face.

I think as long as they take care of themselves there won't be a problem with how they look - male or female. I think both Sinead O Connor and Vin Diesel look OK bald but Britney of course doesn't. I like Rambo look, but I don't think Keanu Reeves would look good like that. I remember seeing him in an old movie with different hair style and he looks weird (that's what he supposed to look in that movie I guess), he looked his best in Matrix and Constantine. The only woman looks good in both long and short haired to me is Halle Berry.

I agree with all your picks....of course in some cases it may be that we are used to seeing a person a certain way. I have seen Vin Diesel with hair and he is better bald.

I personally don't really have a preference, but they do have to take care of it. lol I have been with both types of guys. Ones that like it long and ones that like it super short and all of those in between and I really just don't have a preference. I figure it is their hair and they have to live with it. But I don't want to run my hands through their hair and have them snag on tangles because they don't comb it either. :)

That is the thing about long hair if it isn't taken care of then it isn't the best thing to have. Long hair on a guy has to be taken care of to be acceptable.

There's not really a specific way I prefer a woman to wear her hair. It just depends on who they are and what kinds of things they can do. Some women look beautiful with long straight hair, others with curlier hair, and many can even pull off the short hair thing (not sure of any of the actual names of different hair styles, lol) very well.
I'll admit that my hair is kind of blah, not horrible, but not all that great either. It's kinda short (well, it's starting to get long, but not long enough to really call it long), but maybe one day I'll really grow it out. I've always wanted to.

Hey you and me are of the same Woodstock generation! I'm only a few years younger than you..and like you I got so used to seeing guys with long hair and beards...and I still do...I think I developed a crush on director Andrew Adamson the director of Chronicles of Narnia...in the behind the scenes stuff on the DVD you get to see him..nice long hair and beard..looked like something out of hippie land...then I got the extended version of the movie and he does an intro...OMG..he cut his hair..yuk! I just don't like guys with really short hair..blagh...still have the hippie in me I guess
