Keep in mind with today's busier lifestyle some women simply don't have the time to maintain a longer hairstyle.

Having been in relationships over the years with ladies with both long and short hairstyles there is a difference in hair time management.

Further, in today's work force, length of hair could be a consideration. I'm thinking of Police Officers, construction workers, women working with or around heavy equipment/machinery, that kind of thing.

For myself, if a lady want's to switch it up every now and then, that's a good thing. Like most men here (I'd assume), I can think of a number of things higher on the list of 'things I wouldn't want my lady to do'... like switching up my brand of fridge beer unannounced. >:(  :D

Longer hair can go into a ponytail. How cute it the ponytail through the hat look?
Long hair taking more time isn't necessarily true. Short hair has to be styled extensively
or it really does look like a lesbian haircut. Beauticians love short hair because it has to
be constantly maintained.

The men on this forum do represent men who seek an international marriage,
which the OP was asking about. There are men who like to see women with
tattooed faces or giant rings in their faces, there are men who prefer bald
women, there are men who prefer the company of sheep and their are men
who prefer women with short hair. All those men are far into the minority.

I didn't see any man here who said he prefers a woman with short hair, I've
only seen men who say they would accept a woman with short hair.


They represent a particular demographic of such men.  Not all men.  Or even a majority of the men.


If I were to listen solely to the tales of FSUW who have sought foreign men as husbands, I would believe that the majority are anti social freaks who have to look abroad because they are unable, rather than unwilling, to connect with women in their own countries.  So should I take that as the demographic?

Not so cute if there is a danger of it getting caught in a moving part or grabbed by an assailant.

I don't know about that. I've waited to get into the bathroom while the curling iron and hair blower are being utilized for a full on primping. ;D

Sure, to maintain a short hairstyle there may be increased visits to the stylist but it is what it is. How often do you visit the Barber?

Both need cuts every six weeks.  Some short cuts need to be cut every four weeks.  But there is no comparison to styling, unless the long hair is unstyled.  Long hair takes much longer to maintain.  That generally is why women cut their hair, though texture also plays a role.

This is from Elena of Elena's models giving advice to girls who are considering
a foreign husband. She says they should first evaluate their chances. Note she
wrote this in Russian and I am not fluent in Russian. She very accurately pointed
out that women with long hair have a better chance at meeting a foreign man. 

She has more experience in this than anyone else.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

3. Your chances of success

You first want some news - good or bad?

The good news is that the situation to find the groom abroad has never been more
favorable than it is today.

The bad news - at the moment your chances of finding a foreign husband aren't too
high. And although it is every woman is able to find a husband abroad, it is possible
you will need to do some work before your search may succeed.

In order to assess their chances of success and how you can quickly increase them,
I offer you a simple test.

In the left column - the name of the parameter (in bold) to the right - the parameter
value and below in brackets the number of points. The amount of points, expressed
as a percentage, it is the probability of a successful conclusion of the marriage of
your personal business.

Table chance

Years   18-20
(25)   21-30
(35)   31-35
(30)   36-40
(25)   41-45
(15)   46+

Figure (a difference: an increase minus the weight minus 100)   11 or more
(25)   6-10
(15)   0-5
(0)   -50
(-5)   -6 And more
(-10)

The face   
beautiful (15)   
Lovely    (10)   
ordinary   (5)   
ugly       (-10)


Hair   
very long (below the shoulder blades) (20)   
long (below the shoulders)                 (15)   
average (shoulder length)                  (10)   
short  (ears open)                            (-10)

Knowledge in. lang.   free   OK   conversational   badly   in no way
Eng.   (40)   (thirty)   (20)   (10)   (0)
it.   (20)   (15)   (10)   (5)   (0)
French.   (20)   (15)   (10)   (5)   (0)
any other in.yazyk   (20)   (15)   (10)   (5)   

Children under 18 years   
without children (10)   
1 child (0)   
2 and more (-10)

As you can see, the best chances are slim young attractive women who speak English,
without children or with one child. But you do it without me know, right? The main
thing - now you have a clear idea about your chances. And most of all, the chance
you have! (And besides, you can enlarge them - your chances may increase tomorrow,
you just know what to do! Keep reading ...)

If after evaluation of the chances you decide that it is worth trying - you're wrong.
Try not. Try - it means doing something Hodge-Podge, with no real prospect of
success. If you have a chance, it means that you can do it.

In the words of Nike, "Just do it". Just do it. Otherwise, it makes no sense to start.

That is generally why they cut it, NOT because they look better with short hair.

Yes texture plays a huge roll especially for women with hair that turns into an
afro ten seconds after becoming wet. However, 99.99% look better with longer
hair.

Your personal preferences aside, many women do, in fact, look better with short hair.


I disagree, almost women look better with long hair and most FSUW who are seeking
a foreign man should take that into consideration for being noticed.

No, women with thin hair can't grow it long, it doesn't look good.  Some women can't grow their hair longer than about chin length.  Women with naturally curly hair often don't look good with long hair, as it is too unruly.

You need to keep in mind that a good percentage of woman you see out about town are cheating, Bill.

Exhibit A:



These things are used more often than many (men) are aware of. They're part of the modern woman's style accessary package now.

Imagine waking up in the morning with one of these things draped across your chest with no one attached to it...."I didn't know you owned a cat...Ye gawds, what is that thing!?!" :D

The men on this forum do not represent the global world of men.  Studies on this have demonstrated a weak correlation between hair length and attractiveness.  There are men who posted their "feeeeeeewwwwings about the subject" above, and also had no preference, or had no objection to short hair.  I asked my husband, and he looked at me as if I were crazy. (and no, I do not have short hair).

Consequently, your view that this is the be all and end all, end of story, is rather overstated.  No, it is your preference, and that of some men here. 


It is why I stated "majority of men" without specifying "of this site".  Globally, long hair is considered more attractive than short, by most men.  Is that really a difficult truth to accept?

Well globally, women walking behind men, and mostly covered up is the accepted norm.  Should I believe that truth means most women should do so as well?

Hair extensions are very hard on scalps.  Lots of women who have used them over time end up nearly bald.

Didn't know this. As usual, the quest to look socially acceptable can have it's detrimental effects.

Yes.  Hair extensions, which are popular (and expensive) are not clip ons, as you illustrated (they don't look real), but hair that is glued to the scalp.  That's the only way to have a natural look.

I love unruly.  Its like making love in the mud. 

Years ago I knew a tall RW with blond, thick curly hair (between wavy and tight curls).   She spent little time  styling her hair, and gave up completely when we were staying at a beach resort.   She had great  skin color and big sky blue eyes. I considered her a  knockout.  Fastidious men would perhaps turn away.

How often do you visit the Barber?

It's been a year (plus 9 days). Angel Eyes bought a set of clippers for my
birthday last year and has been cutting my hair since. Before that I went
months at a time without going to a barber. In the Bakken it's really
difficult to get somebody to cut your hair.

Do most men factor a woman's aura and personality as well as her physical features  when  determining whether she is attractive?

In an international relationship most men look at a woman's photo before they write a
letter. She could be the sweetest, kindest, smartest and most loving woman in the world
but nobody will know if she doesn't pass the photo test.

A good argument could certainly be made by the visit many crowd that meeting first is
the best because you get a more holistic feel for what kind of person the lady is. Also
some very attractive women have faces that aren't photogenic and seeing the girl in
person simplifies that as well. Most girls will still have to pass a photo test for a guy to
agree to meet them.

All women with straight hair wish it was curly and all women with curly hair wish it
was straight. Women with long curly hair look fantastic. It's only in their head that
it looks too unruly. Like most men I love cRaZy hair!!

Then like the bald men here or women undergoing chemo then they can only do what
they can do. Nobody has said that a woman should join a convent if she has short hair,
I've only said that women look better with long hair, and it's true.
