I know there's this funny thing about many Chinese guys where I live. They seem to like their girlfriend/wife to keep their hair long! I know of some girls who would never cut their hair short, just because 'My boyfriend likes me with long hair' or 'My husband will not allow me to have my hair short'!! I mean, please! Get a life! Shouldn't the bf/hubby love their other half for more than just their long hair? And why would the ladies refuse to get a different hairstyle just because their other half doesn't like it? Actually, I cut my hair really short after I got married & I did freak my hubby out a little. But he has since gotten used to my constant change of hairstyle, so now he loves me for being me!

I like my girlfriend to have long hairs, but if she want to cut, I'll let she do... I love her not only for her hair!!

Guys really do like their girlfriends/wives to have long hair. I think they like to have it long and flowing to run their fingers through. I have my hair chemically permed, and I know I’ll have to cut it at some point. I already told my husband just to prepare him for it, because I know he’d be upset if I cut my hair short without warning. That doesn’t mean I cannot or will not cut it. I need freedom with my hair.

But those ladies who keep their hair long just for the sake of their men, I really find it funny. I mean, shouldn't he love you not just because of the tresses? And if the guy loves his girl, hey, can't she even decide for herself what hairsyle she would like to sport!

My husband was just the opposite. When we got married he insisted that I cut my long hair very short. He didn't like me having to mess with long hair all the time. Back in those days I was still setting it on huge brush rollers every night to achieve the long straight look with my thin, frizzy hair. I've worn it short for 30 years, but now for the first time I'm trying to grow it out a bit. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I'm not sure, but I guess it's the Chinese man's ego thing? Speaking of which, almost every Indian lady I see has really long hair too! Wonder if it's the male ego that forbids them to cut their hair too? How sad...

Hi vyykidd Its convenience which matters in the long run .Now in this fast changing world one cant put restrictions on other even wife . Long hair or short hair it is the convenience of both that matters most.

Hey, this may sound pretty unusual to you guys in the West, but a lot of ladies here actually don't cut their hair short, just because their boyfriend/husband don't like them too! Amazing isn't it? But it's really true! Talk about living in a modern society... :P

It's really funny right? Think the guys should really give their girlfriends/wives a break & let them decide what hairstyle suit them best! :)
