- So let's say you see a guy who is well dressed but has a bad hairstyle, does that really make girls turn away?
Have you guys ever gotten a new haircut and got more attention?

Honestly, I would be put off by any woman who was so shallow as to see
something special in me because of how I wear my hair. I don't do nor do I
tolerate superficial.12-02-09 12:28 AMLike 0 -

You're going to have your superficial woman and your down to earth woman. We all have our own standards anyway whether we want to admit it or not.

the person.
Some of the ugliest people I know are people most would consider physically
attractive. Some of the sweetest people I know are those that would be considered
by most to be "hard on the eyes."
It's the heart, mind and soul that counts, not the hair and the looks.12-02-09 12:45 AMLike 0 - Always remember that it's usually the people that are considered attractive who are the most rotten on the inside. Not saying all, but usually.

As long as he doesnt look like a total ragged out smelly hobo.12-02-09 02:03 AMLike 0 - Not just here, but my point was simply the exterior of a person is no way to gauge

A lot of people say that, but in reality they don't mean it, I would say 10 percent of them really mean it, while the other 90 percent just say it, but when it comes down to it, they really dont

- If you look in the animal world. Male animals do stuff to try and impress the opposite sex. They have fancy colorings, they have louder/deeper calls, the do all types of stuff to try and impress the female. The very same thing can be said in the human world. Guys wear expensive clothing, expensive sunglasses, carry expensive cellphone. And when it comes to their cars some guys go all out. Thinking that i will attract a female. After all some women are gold diggers.
And think this subject [hair styles] falls into this category some guys feel they need a good hair cut to attract good females.
but as Ken said.... it's all superficial, it's shallow, and it's flat out not needed.
12-02-09 08:46 AMLike 0 - I think that in any relationship there has to be at least some initial attraction so yes it does matter but after 4 years with the same woman I just get her to buzz my head every month or so... I'm not tryin to impress anyone anymore I just wanna get outta bed, put on clothes that might be clean and go to work.12-02-09 09:22 AMLike 0
- I've had a buzzcut for the last 26 years. My hair doesn't style in any way, and the time I save not futzing with it is spent enjoying something else I'd rather be doing.
Besides, with the wife doing our hair at home, that's $450 bucks a year saved between me and the 2 boys.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com12-02-09 09:50 AMLike 0 - I buzz my hair every 6 months or so to save money, I like the low maintenance and I personally think I look better with short hair.
People always tell me I have great hair when it grows out but I hate it. It's really thick and wavy and it only does what it wants to, there is no styling for me besides just pushing it off my forehead.
This reminds me it's about time to cut it again...12-02-09 09:55 AMLike 0 - I personally like guys with short hair, but I’ve seen a couple that can rock the longer slicked back look too.
There is a guy at my job that had his hair slicked back like he was in the mafia for about a year and I told him just cut it, it will look much better. Low and behold he finally did and he looked much better.
Now I didn't tell this guy to cut his hair so I would be more attracted him to, I told him because I knew in fact he would be a much better looking man all around if he just cut his hair. He was going through a midlife crisis.
One more thing...I did get my ex to finally let me cut his stupid sideburns off...he also looks much better.
Call me shallow for wanting men to look better and helping them out, but thats what chicks do!Last edited by thinkamp; 12-02-09 at 10:03 AM.

Yea the double standard is not very cool, but I'm the kind of girl that is always open for others opinions.
It also depends on how guys approach the situation and how they say it.12-02-09 11:07 AMLike 0 -

Good answer !!
To answer your question - I would have to say, yes appearance matters. It's what initially attracts you to people. However, appearance won't make me stay - personality does. You don't know that Mr/Miss Not-So-Attractive-On-The-Outside has an awesome personality, just like you don't know Mr/Miss Attractive has a rotten personality. Once you get to know someone, I agree it's based mostly on personality but initially it's based on appearance. I don't think I'm shallow - I think in reality everyone feels that way.
I'm not even attracted to the best looking guys. If you're too good looking, I can appreciate it but I'm not usually attracted - I usually think "How much time do you spend getting ready?". For whatever reason - I like nerdy guys (at least that's what my friends say). I personally don't find them nerdy but...
I wouldn't base a guy solely on his hairstyle those things are cosmetic. But I too am partial to shorter hair. I've only seen a handful of guys that can pull off longer hair and a ponytail is always a no-no in my book!12-02-09 11:42 AMLike 0 - Of course that ragged out smelly hobo, could be one of you ordinary tweaked out, rat crazy, billionaires, (kinda like Howdy Hughes), coming home from a bing weekend.
