Short-haired humor

Some more recent responses to the popular post on the unattractiveness of short hair on women.  Hayley doesn't take the news well:
Fuck all of you that say short hair makes a woman less beautiful. Sure, it may not work on some women, but if her physical appearance is all you love her for, you seriously need to reexamine your priorities. Fuck you.
She is putting the cart before the horse there. How is a man ever going to love a woman if he's not attracted to her in the first place?

Kimbrena fails logic 101:
How about women cutting their hair because THEY WANT TO? Maybe they LIKE short hair and don't care what a man thinks about it. What about the women that are confident in themselves and don't measure their worth by how attractive men are of her?
What about them? No man cares why you're unattractive. He's just not attracted to you. And if a woman doesn't care what a man thinks, then obviously there is no problem. He'll find her unattractive and she won't mind.

Mimi postulates repeating the obvious:
What if I told you women don't cut their hair solely with mens' opinions in mind. One more time: WOMEN DON'T CUT THEIR HAIR SOLELY WITH MENS' OPINIONS IN MIND.

Some women prefer having shorter hair. It's easier to manage and maybe it just makes them feel good about themselves. THEY like how it looks on them, so who gives a fuck what closed-minded guys think? A woman who is confident enough in her sexuality to cut her hair short deserves a man who's confident enough to say "Hey, she's hot!" without her hair being an issue. CONFIDENCE is the key rather than hair length. And honestly, are we really going to say that just because Emma Watson got a pixie cut, she's no longer FUCKING GORGEOUS? I think not.

One last thing: women falsely complimenting other women on their short hair choice because it bumps them up the sexy ladder?! Bullshit. Not all women are conniving bitches. In fact, most of us genuinely compliment our friends when they look good. Anyone that thinks otherwise watches way too many scripted reality shows.
Again, it is irrelevant WHY women cut their hair short. The point is that most men, the vast majority of them, find it unattractive. That is the fact. Who gives a fuck what those men think? Presumably women who would like male attention and hope for men to find them attractive. It's not about confidence. Men aren't women, they aren't attracted to confidence and they certainly aren't going to say "hey, she's hot" about a woman with short hair because the short hair makes her look less attractive.  And yes, Emma Watson is no longer FUCKING GORGEOUS with her pixie cut. She downgraded herself from "pretty" to "cute". Babies are cute. Puppies are cute. With the exception of the occasional pedophile, adult men are not sexually attracted to "cute".

As for the idea that women don't sabotage each other, well, Mimi probably doesn't realize that the women complimenting her on her short hair are laughing at her behind her back. Observing them in action, women primarily compliment the flaws in other women, particularly related to her weight or her hair. A woman who actually looks good is inevitably "too skinny" or "has split-ends".

Bethany completely misses the point:
What a vain post. I do believe that a man after a woman's HEART, Is far more attractive than a childish one looking only at her appearance. Those are typically the ones found unfaithful, considering with time outward beauty fades inevitably, and there will always be someone prettier around the corner. Hair is such a petty, shallow thing to seriously be a determining factor. Personally, I am trying very hard to grow my hair out, just because I want to and it is beautiful, but I certainly wouldn't go to the extreme you have. I'm embarrassed for you. 
That may be. However, the post is about what MEN find attractive. It's not about what women find attractive. And men will never get to the deeper aspects of a woman if they are repelled by the petty shallow ones.

Hannah also fails logic 101:
Just a thought, but maybe these women with short hair aren't living their lives for the sole purpose of being attractive to 'most men'? Maybe they like being attractive to the more discerning 'fewer men'? Or, (can you believe it?!), maybe, just maybe, they have more exciting things going on in their lives than just whether a man will be attracted to them or not?
That's fine. I'm sure they'll have a fulfilling relationship with their many cats. Men truly aren't bothered by unattractive women. They don't even notice them. If a woman's goal is to be invisible to men, cropping her hair is an excellent way to go about it.

Sarah pretty much explains why men find short hair to be a sexual turn-off:
Not all short hair is meant to be edgy or cool. I cut it because it embodies the character of a gamine (a girl with impish appeal). Free-spirited, kind, playful, and a bit innocuous. I'm not comfortable with being a sexy, sultry, come hither woman whose long flowing hair trails past her shoulders and between her breasts...
Hmmm, a sexy, sultry, come-hither woman or a free-spirited innocuous one. That's what men really want in bed. Innocuous. But it is nice that the women uncomfortable with their potential sexual appeal to men are willing to advertise this and make it easier for us to avoid them.

Luka can't even tell how long her own hair is, but that doesn't stop her from having an opinion:
I can never tell if my hair is short or mid-length, since the shortest strand is 4cm and the longest maybe even 18cm, but I will comment as a short haired woman. I have never EVER wanted to cut off my hair to show off or because I wan't to know if I am attractive no matter what happens inside space and time. You're also INCREDIBLY absurd saying that women over-rarate themselves. I've cut my hair for two reasons. First, I always felt like I have quite big features compared to my face size. In general, women with smaller features look better in long hair in my opinion. Cutting my hair meant that I could make it puffy and don't look like a long-haired soaked puppy all the time. I really hate when hair just lays there and looks like a 2D piece of paper on both sides. For me that felt like really feeling bald, with just a glued piece of paper with hair on it. That was about, lets don't overegsadurate, 89% of my reason? The second reason was that I wanted to become stronger. I was, and I still am, not confident. I don't think I am pretty at all and if i was giving myself a rating I just wouldn't be able to do it - there isn't any rating because I don't have any confidence whatsoever to actually consider myself attractive in any part of my life. I don't know where you've seen those women you are talking about. But I can assure you that you know nothing about the reason women cut their hair. Absolutely nothing. Better not make any more blog post on women.
And one comment wasn't sufficient for Luka to express the fullness of what pass for her thoughts:
The truth is that all the women that are ''pissed off'' are just very saddened by the level of male stupidity. Every woman wants a man that can love her no matter her hairstyle or looks. The only thing I would accept is a man that wants a women to care for herself. This type of a man seems to be extremely seldom. And will always be seldom.

Heterosexual women cut their hair to find a man just like that. It is nothing to do with showing off their beauty.

Personally, there are some women that look way better in long hair then short, and MOST short hairstyles are just ugly if I am to be honest. I don't think that bold hair or very short trim looks good on men or women.

The whole blog post was about women who look great with long hair cutting it short, rather than women who actually look so much better with short hair than long. Next time everyone simply needs to take into consideration that a man may have extremely limited knowledge about women, bless these idiots and wankers.
Yes, I'm sure they're just "saddened". They're not at all upset because the fact of their unattractiveness and the reason for it have been brought to their attention. I do so enjoy the futile attempts of women to emotionally unbalance those who don't care what they think. It's like bringing a knife to a space battle. It's not so much ineffective as a category error.

One of my favorite writers (Heinlein) once wrote "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity." At the time I thought I didn't, but as time goes on I run into more more instances where I have to say "That person can't be that stupid." But they are.

The closest one to make any kind of a point is Mimi when she says women don't compliment each other because it bumps them up the ladder when another woman cuts her hair short. I don't say it's valid (or close to valid, beggars can't be choosers with this lot) because I agree, I don't. But because it at least addresses something that was said in the article.

Ladies (and I use that term loosely) the article is about what MEN, find attractive. Whatever your opinion of a woman's short hair is, it is irrelevant because you're a woman.

Oh, btw, folks who don't care what another group finds attractive generally don't go ape-shit when a member of that group states what they find attractive. Example: I wouldn't get upset with a gay man saying he doesn't find tall men attractive because I have no interest in hooking up with a gay man. By freaking out all over this post of Vox's you're pretty much giving the lie to your screeds.

Krul said...

Just googled Emma Watson. It's a real shame what she did to her hair. She used to be pretty, but now she looks like a boy.

Ron said...

I think some of the things the women said here were very instructive. They aren't being deceitful, I think they are being honest. The problem is, they, like most men, have bought into the egalitarian lie that men and women are exactly the same. Once someone accepts that premise, then logically, whatever a member of either gender thinks is attractive to them, must therefore be attractive to the other gender.

This is why these women compliment each other for the short hair. It isn't only women trying to sabotage each other, this is actually what they find attractive in the opposite sex, and since everyone is the same, so men must also find masculine traits attractive.

I think some of the women commenting here are not just doing so to be irritating, but they are genuinely perceiving the short hair correction as a LIE being said to trick and deceive them.

GIRLS: Vox is NOT lying to you. He is speaking the truth. This is going to be very hard for you to believe, but most of the people telling you that men and women are the same are either gullible morons repeating what they have been told, or sick people trying to ruin your lives to their own advantage.

I think the key thing on why I believe they are sincerely outraged and confused is by how they keep insisting that confidence is the most important thing. Yes, obviously to a woman nothing turns her on more than confidence. Jerkboy aggressive confident bad assery. So she thinks "ah, I love it when men act like that, since all men and women are the same, therefore men will love it when I act like that!" Naturally, it doesn't quite work out. But the fact they keep insisting on it, is what tells me they are honest in their error.

Similarly, you have all these betas, omegas and gammas, not all of whom are naturally like pathetic, but who become pathetic from societal conditioning, in the exact same way these women have been badly trained and deceived. Such men think "ah, I love it when a woman is cute, polite, and submissive, shows feminine dithering, is graceful, delicate, charming, etc etc. Therefore, I will act like that, and women will be all over me!"

NOPE.

If women loved short hair than an entire billion, trillion dollar beauty industry would die.

No, it wouldn't. In fact, I think short hair brings it MORE money because those haircuts tend to be elaborate and therefore need trimming much more frequently. Especially asymmetrical cuts.

You should update your references. Emily Watson has grown her hair back to past the shoulder. Jennifer Lawrence just unforgivably cut off her hair.

A woman who is confident enough in her sexuality to cut her hair short deserves a man who's confident enough to say "Hey, she's hot!"

This is a theme that has to die, hopefully a brutish, nasty death. There is no such thing as "deserve." No, Mimi, you don't "deserve" a man. You don't "deserve" anything. You only deserve what you can earn and in the sexual marketplace, you only "deserve" what you can attract. In this case, chop your hair, hell, shave your head. You will likely only attract lower value men who are likely desperate, and you will definitely deserve them.

Not all women are conniving bitches.

But enough of them are as to make little difference.

The truth is that all the women that are ''pissed off'' are just very saddened by the level of male stupidity.

No, they're pissed off and saddened by the truth. It's not stupidity for men to avoid women like this, it's wisdom. You're really just pissed that you can't control them and bend men to your will, such as it is.

The only thing I would accept is a man that wants a women to care for herself. This type of a man seems to be extremely seldom. And will always be seldom....Heterosexual women cut their hair to find a man just like that.

They will always be "seldom" because they are rainbow-pixie-unicorns. There will always be desperate men who will give women like these attention, but mostly the women will not be attracted to them. Well, perhaps not in Luka's case, since she is unconfident and admits she's unattractive and cut her hair to make herself even more unattractive.

and MOST short hairstyles are just ugly if I am to be honest.

And she realizes the truth at last. She cut her hair to make herself more ugly. I suppose that passes for logic in some part of the metaverse...

"Men truly aren't bothered by unattractive women. They don't even notice them."

That is true of normal unattractive women. There are of course the 5-10% or so that are just too big to ignore.

"Jennifer Lawrence just unforgivably cut off her hair"

Chopping your hair off in your 20's has become some sort of right of passage. I think somewhere around two-thirds of the women I knew cut a good foot off their hair. Most weren't bold enough to go pixie, but right around the jaw line was pretty standard.

Some Guy said...

I wonder how many women would still be attracted to men who decided to "cut their careers short" and instead focus on "themselves" and things they found appealing. Like if I was to give up my job as a programmer and instead focus on being a professional video gamer because I found that more appealing. I'm doing it for me. Why can't those women stop focusing on the shallow and instead see that I am just being true to myself?

"On a rudimentary biological level, Emma actually does know what is sexy (i.e. what turns Men on about women), but she is “uncomfortable” in being so. People want to change her into someone who is comfortable with being sexy because they see such potential – ergo the popularity of Emma’s Rule 34 popularity. Her refusal or discomfort in being so is where the feminine imperative picks up the banner and runs with it. Here is an arguably beautiful young woman (by men’s standards) who wont conform to what men’s appetites want to make of her. Like all contemporary women, she wants to define what sexy should be for men using metrics that she is comfortable with. The problem, as with all things fem-centric, is that this social push to redefine for men what they should find sexy slams headlong into Men’s biological imperatives. Despite feminizations incessant efforts to the contrary, we still want to fuck the girl who most closely resembles the Playboy centerfold and our erections are the litmus test."

Good heavens. The point just goes sailing over their heads. You can like short hair all you want, and even believe you're being supportive when you exclaim over the cuteness of a friend's new bob. The point has nothing to do with what women find attractive in women or their hamster rationalizations. It's about what men find attractive in women.

My husband finds long hair attractive. In frustrating moments of cleaning or breastfeeding, I wish for shorter hair, but since being attractive to my husband is far more important to me then my feelings or convenience, it stays long.

Why is this such a hard concept to accept?

S. Thermite said...

Looks like Vox's short hair post is the gift that keeps on giving.

Had an old co-worker who was about 20 and engaged to a firefighter when I met her. Nice Christian girl with hair down to the middle of her back, and I went to her wedding. Six years later she had two children, and had moved to another division so didn't see her on a daily basis anymore. But my female supervisor, a relatively short-haired 55 year-old with no children, was going on about how this girl had gotton a new haircut and how impressed she was at how great it looked. This obviously intrigued me, especially because I'd considered the girl to be relatively attractive already, and I'd never heard my supervisor pay this compliment to anyone other woman. So I eventually I saw the haircut, and the poor girl looked 10 years older...looked like a filing clerk with cats in her future rather than a happily married mother still in her 20's. Never did understand who my supervisor had been so complimentary until I read Vox's original post.

As a man, I prefer to be unaccomplished and inexperienced at life, and I don't like to take *any* risks, or provide any sort of leadership whatever, because I agonize and whine over every mistake I've ever made. I'm happy being a quiet follower given the least responsibility. I'm not comfortable being a confidant, charming man who takes risks and accomplishes thing, and laughs off misfortune to charge full-steam ahead in life...

There is a surreal absurdity to the sheer volume of responses and decibels of shrieking that basically are all some variation of "we don't care what you think". The emotion of not caring is indifference and apathy not histrionics.

It is also amusing how the first instinct of women is to find some male parallel to "get back" like facial hair/goatees. I've got a post coming up on facial hair where I am going to lay out a hypothesis for when it is and when it is not adding to attractiveness.

I think women will tend to lean toward hate of Gonzalez because she is so stunning and want to stick up for Cyrus because she is more accessible to them.

Regardless, Miley was more attractive with long hair and with her tongue firmly in her mouth.

This reminds me of a 2012 UK Telegraph article on the 50 Shades hullabaloo (written by a woman, of course) entitled 'Mommy Porn? How dare men put down women’s sexual fantasies (google the title). A couple of choice nuggets:

Take the phrase 'mommy porn’. It’s one of the most misogynist things I’ve ever heard in my life. It is derogatory!” She bangs the table for emphasis. “How dare they? It’s just a book, for god’s sake. A love story in which people have sex – and they do do that, I seem to remember...

And Hustler is just a magazine; Deep Throat just a movie...

And in what has to be the most preposterous bit of literary comparison I've ever read:

The difference between the way male and female fantasy is explored – it’s interesting. Look at male fantasies: Lord of the Rings, Batman, The Avengers. It’s lauded. Anything written by a woman, like Twilight, my huge inspiration, is derided. All female fantasy is derided. It’s an insight into how misogynist the world is.

She compares female sexual fantasy with male hero fantasy!!! This is particularly absurd in regard to LotR; but even comic book superhero fantasies outshine Twilight and this woman's own bilge by a supernova or 10, if only because superheroes are nearly always fending off their own inner demons and/or putting themselves aside in order to beat the bad guys and save others. In contrast, this woman's 'heroine' - and her inspiration - indulge their selfish, craven lust for Badboy cock. Apples and oranges. And she thinks it's just because Twilight and 50 Shades are written by women; absolutely delusional.

Their hair should be at least half the circumference of their waist.

When the should be denied sharp objects such as shears, suffrage is a no-brainer. Or maybe "by" should replace "is".

Shaving requires daily effort, but women will often say they don't like beards - then complain that their long hair requires too much maintenance. Most women seem to do something with their nails, which I either don't notice or don't find attractive, so there is a time/money saver.

I've also pointed out one of the easiest things to add a few SMV points is to add one more sigma to your hair length. Many women have hair down beyond their shoulders. Most don't have it down past their chest. There are men with muscle, then there are men who work out so as to have no subcutaneous fat and huge muscles. That takes a lot of effort. Would that I could do something as simply as avoiding scissors.

Arg, reading those women's comments makes me embarrassed to be the same sex as they are.

"I do believe that a man after a woman's HEART, Is far more attractive than a childish one looking only at her appearance."
When a woman makes herself less attractive after securing a man, that tells you quite a bit about her heart. As Calvin and Hobbes pointed out - we judge people by their actions because their actions reveal what's in their hearts.

It's sad, really, because women who can actually pull off short hair (by short I mean no shorter than Olivia Wilde's hair in Tron) STILL look much more beautiful with longer hair.

Also, THIS haircut is a total disaster. It's like young girls are trying to maintain some semblance of beauty with a side of puke, I don't get it.

It looks like a massive accident involving bubble gum.

Great post - knocking logic back over the net at the illogical while they don't even see it whiz by their face is always fun to watch.

But more so, it is great to see the calm logic piercing the screeching hurricane of what stand as a portend to "today's woman."

That is the penultimate contribution that the Manosphere has - the ability to give men the mental fortitude, the knowledge and the ability to apply simple logic. It is a small oasis for men that live surrounded by that hurricane everyday. The "Red Pill" allows men to realize that the Matrix is actually a screaming, screeching, emotional hurricane attempting to make you cower before its winds.

Why is this such a hard concept to accept?
Because it's not about you!!!

I've seen the worst of asymmetric cuts, its all vibrant not pale, yet everyone has the cut, the special body art and that good ole winning attitude of 'worship my hair-disater-do.'

I told my wife to quit coloring her hair for years. She continued to insist she liked it as it was, and used many of the arguments from your negative comments. Finally, I managed to get her to admit, "I don't color my hair to please you." My response to this was, "Alright. As long as you're honest." After that, she never colored her hair again.

Truth is found by confronting reality. When faced with the reality that she was coloring her hair contrary to my pleasure, she stopped coloring her hair. The truth is that other women do, as you suggest, compliment the worst physical features of other women. However, if a man values a woman, he will commend what is best of her, and condemn what is worst. My wife's natural hair color is beautiful. The "bold" color she chose appeared false, and signaled illness.

She also insists on cutting her hair short and wasting her time with a hot-iron in the morning, destroying what's left of the hair growing out her head. That's next on the list. She's "slowing growing it out," and she'll accelerate that effort.

In case anybody's wondering, my hair is also long, so she can't complain I don't ask for something I won't do myself.

Short hair on a women is not only unattractive; it serves the same purpose as a buoy marking hidden shoals best steered clear of.

"Pert"? Gamine?

Short-hairs want to be Tinker Bell. They are uncomfortable being Wendy.

Short-hairs want to be a scrawny post-WWII Audrey Hepburn. They are uncomfortable being Sophia Loren or Raquel Welch.

Audrey Hepburn, Audrey Tautou, Grace Kelly.

As far as short-hair on a gal goes, that's about it in my book. Only thing worse than short hair is a hyphenated surname.

You're ridiculous. I have long healthy hair (goes down to my waist) and my boyfriend doesn't like it. He prefers short hair and he wants me to cut it (obviously I won't, I have long hair because I like it). You're starting from a wrong premise, so your logic is flawed. Many men prefer short hair.
